User adjustable style width

use it here - user cp -> edit options -- along with the post bit choice, legacy or modern .

not my idea, just how its' done here.

was originally discovered on vB.org - this is how we did/ do it and are using it : sorry no plug in :

Add a new profile field :
remember the field number : is the id : or from the User profile fields can get it :
you will need only the number itself : ours is 14 .

Admin-CP : User Profile Fields : Add New User Profile Field :

Single-Selection Radio Buttons

Title :

this can be in any order : the fist option is the default setting! 770px here .
if you dont' wish them all, then dont' put them here - the plug in should be edited also, but is not necessary .

change the field number 14 here to what yours is for the User profile Field .

change the 100% to the default width you wish .

do not edit any more than this unless you understand or know what you are doing .
the ' must be there, where they are along with everything else ! formatting is very important.

trouble reading or copying the code : thread options - Print may be easier to read/ copy the code.


for our upDated styles, and those from April 06 2007 on.
(members area will be finished no later than monday)

in the header find :

Code:

Guests are not allowed to view code. To enable the
viewing of code, please click 'here' to register.

change to :

Code:

Guests are not allowed to view code. To enable the
viewing of code, please click 'here' to register.

depend on which style you did this on you may wish to change the code block width in the StyleVars.
we use 480 for fixed and 600 for fluid

if you have an older style ask, will need the style name and a link to see it.

Strange, I've done everything mentioned above and it don't work.
I've downloaded the Revisited style yesterday, installed and it is still remaining at 100%.

is this showing up in the user cp ?

if it is -

check the plug in and make sure it is turned on / vBulletins default is off .

Yeah is it showned up, that's the strange thing.

is it enabled now for the styles width . is at 95% .
was not a setting -
if not could you add

Code:

Guests are not allowed to view code. To enable the
viewing of code, please click 'here' to register.

to the very top of the header template and make sure that the plug in is enabled .

need to see if its doing the replacement ( looking at the source )

thinking the field number or if widths were changed maby 2 are not coiensiding properly .

Ok, stupid as I am I forgot to add the variable to the header

How about a shorter Code with just 5 lines...
