Soooo.. I'm feeling stupid and need help! [solved]

[kokuyotumari]

So, I'm kind of new to coding. I've done a little tweaking, but nothing huge. I'm using the scrolls skin template, and It appears to not be working. I know I have side tables, and I want them in there too, could someone please help me.

Hi kokuyotumari,
Your images appear to be to small for the scroll.

They should all be the same width and the same width set in you border around forum code, with your side tables inside I'd reccommend about 1024px , but that's your choice.

Your head image is 909x112
mid section 1022x142
base image 1020x118
--------------------------------------------

In smangii's side tables(global header) you need to find this line and change it to 100%
<script>
// Resize the welcome table - can be % or a number of pixels
document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].style.width='100%';
</script>

Also, the forum resize is in Smangii's side table header, so you should disable the forum resize in SubDevo's ProBoard Forum Customize v1.0

Also you have the banner under adverts from smangii, so you need to set this line to 0 in Subdevo's border around forum code.
var banInside=1; // Banner Inside Border? 1=Yes, 0=No.

You also need to move Subdevo's outer forum borders part2 in your global footer to the very bottom of your global footer

Once you've got those sorted out we can have another look.

I did the other stuff, but I'm not sure what you were saying here... I'm sorry if I sound stupid -.-' Coding is fun, but it seems to hate me at times

Hi,
in this code:

/* Outer Forum Borders by SubDevo - Part 1 of 2 */
/* Global Header - Please leave this header intact. Do not repost. */
/* interoceandesigns.com or lsdp.proboards.com */

var outerWidth=909; // Width of the Outer Border.
var banInside=0; // Banner Inside Border? 1=Yes, 0=No.
var tSpace="<br/>"; // Top Space. One or more "<br/>".
var bSpace="<br/><br/><br/><br/>"; // Bottom Space. One or more "<br/>".
var bHead="http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo156/kokuyo_tumari/Scroll%20Skin%20TOM/scroll1a.png"; // Outer Border Head Image. var bMid="http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo156/kokuyo_tumari/Scroll%20Skin%20TOM/scroll2a.gif"; // Outer Border Middle Image URL or Hex Color.
var bBase="http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo156/kokuyo_tumari/Scroll%20Skin%20TOM/scroll3a.gif"; // Outer Border Base Image.


The images in yellow are all different widths. You can change these widths in photobucket.
If you make them all 1024px wide and then change the red to 1024

I just put your headers/footers into my test site: here you can see that the image at the top is much narrower than the others. The image at the bottom is also a few pixels short as well.

-----------------------------

In your global header, smangii's tables, find this line:

<table width="800px" align="center" cellpadding="0px" cellspacing="0px">
<tr>
<td align="center" vAlign="top" width="100%">

and change the 800px to 900px

We can fine tune the sizes after we've got it all working

-------------------------------------------

EDIT: As an after thought - ManGoneMad probably wont want his skin stretching out to put your side tables inside the design. I'm going to PM him and ask. He puts a lot of work into his designs so we need to see what he says, but I'm expecting him to say no.

[kokuyotumari]

Okay, let me know what he says, and I did everything that you asked me to. Thanks so much for your help.

Hi,
Your board is looking great! I did noticed you have some white edges around the outside. If you want to do away with them just rehost the images below and reinsert them in the appropriate head middle and base portion of the outer forum borders code. ( If you wish of course).

Head Image


Middle Image


Base Image



Best of luck, Regards,
Speed

[kokuyotumari]

Thank you Speed. I've also noticed my categories are not showing up...

[Speed]

A coding issue maybe. <i>pebble</i>, if he has time would maybe check that if you need.


I did notice the head image and the middle image not ligning up properly. Both are 1024px wide. Do you need them to line up or do you like it the way it is now?

[kokuyotumari]

I would prefer if they lined up, but if it's too much work you don't have to do anything.

[Speed]

It is 10px off I will increase it and post a new one for you to try in just a moment, ok?

[kokuyotumari]

Okay.

[Speed]

Try this and lets see how it looks



Let me know when to go see K?

[kokuyotumari]

Thank you! If you wish to go see it you can, but I don't think it worked... >.<

[Speed]

Ok lets give this a try.
Now make sure you set the width to 1032

var outerWidth=1032; // Width of the Outer Border.

and remember to rename your images appropriately and re host, ok

Head


Middle


Base


Let me know when you get that done so I can look again

Regards,
Speed

I might get some time to look at this again tonight. In FF it looks ok but something in the tables is messing things up in IE.

I haven't heard back from MGM yet.
