How to "fix" these tables?

[Proenski]

Hi there,

Since I have a fixed width for my board www.depechemodeforum.com/smf I would also like to fix the width of tables like:

• Forum profile information
• Look and layout preferences
• Track user
• Etc

Any help on where I can find these settings is welcome.

In the Index.Template.php find:

Code Select Expand


// The main content should go here.  A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';


And fix the width from 100% to the size you want.

I tried that but it doesn't work 

Login with "test" and "test" and then "forum profile information" even though I set the maximum width to 690 pixels the content is pushing that table to a width of 730....

That only controlls how the boardindex.template is displayed.

You got that right 

But any ideas on how to tackle this??

You'll just have to fix the width of said templates, I suppose.

Like the idea but so far I couldn't find, for example, where you can set the width for "Forum Profile Information". I opened the Profile.template.php and set the table width to 650 but it has no effect.

Code Select Expand

// Assuming there are actually some areas the user can visit...
if (!empty($context['profile_areas']))
{
echo '
<table width="650" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top: 1ex;">
<tr>
<td width="180" valign="top">
<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" class="bordercolor" width="170">';

// Loop through every area, displaying its name as a header.
foreach ($context['profile_areas'] as $section)
{
