Help With Avatar Display

[Dark Wolf]

Well yea Im not really good with php, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im running 1.1 rc2 with a theme called Neptune.

The problem we are having is that our avatars have scroll bars underneath them (when we use a template that has a side bar). Is there anyway to edit a theme to get rid of the scroll bars so that it could show the full avatar??

Thanks.

First copy your Display.template.php from the default theme folder to the Neptune theme folder, open it up and search for:

Code Select Expand

<div style="overflow: auto; width: 100%;">', $message['member']['avatar']['image'], '</div><br />';

And replace it with:

Code Select Expand

<div style="overflow: hidden; width: 100%;">', $message['member']['avatar']['image'], '</div><br />';

Hope it helps

Thanks, but it still doesnt show the whole avatars (120 or above in width), although the bar is gone. Any idea of what to edit to make the avatar space fixed (so the bar that holds the avatar doesnt change width with the size of window)?

Yep this code is used to hide them. What is your max avatar size set to?

Max avatar size 160 x 160

Ok search for this in your Display.template.php:

Code Select Expand

<div style="overflow: hidden; width: 100%;">', $message['member']['avatar']['image'], '</div><br />';

And replace it with this:

Code Select Expand

<div style="overflow: hidden; width: 160px; height: 160px;">', $message['member']['avatar']['image'], '</div><br />';

Thanks man youve helped a ton!!

One last question for ya tho m8,

I was changing the content area (moving it away from the avatars on the left) which also fixed the avatar problem, but for some reason the content (the words) inside a post get cut off at the end...they dont wrap around to the next line when they reach the end... thus it cuts off a few words per line.

What exactly do you mean by content area?

[Dark Wolf]

You know when you post a message on the board and the text wraps around to the next line when it reaches the end, well its not wrapping down at the end.. it cuts off 1 or two words, and i have no idea what part to edit to make it wrap.. here is a picture:



As you can see the words to the right are cut off.

Maybe it would be easier if I re did it from the beginning.... I reuploaded the original which is back to the beginning, only I used the code you recommended, but this is the problem Im still having:

(The avatar doesnt have the scroll bar, yet it doesnt show the full avatar)

[Dark Wolf]

Head over to your Administartion Center and then click "Attachments and Avatars" under the "Forum" heading. From there click "Avatar Settings" on the top of the screen. From here you can define the maximum widths and heights
