Plugin updated to allow different post splitter images for each theme.

<i>pebble</i> is there anyway to have this to where we can make the divder smaller in width.
Currently I am having to use one like the one below.



Instead I would rather have one as narrow as the one below.



Thanks
Christine

Do you mean height and not width? The splitter should auto adjust to the height of the image.
If you do mean width... Do you mean an image that is not the width of the forum? and would be centered? I could do that, if that's what you're after.

Maybe if you put your image in an example theme and let me know then I'll see better what effect you're after.

Yes sorry about that <i>pebble</i>. Here is a screenshot of the way I used to have my Post Splitter with a code in the CSS.



And this is the way it is now.



As for width of the forum that is no problem. I make all my stuff the width of my board.

christine,
If you add an image that is 6px high, the code will adjust itself to the height of your image.
If that's not working for you in some way, Let me know on which them and I'll head over to your site for a look.

[christine]

<i>pebble</i> it seems to not to want to adjust. I have all my dividers at 900 X 10 pixels and as you can see with three themes I took screenshots of it leaves empty space in between each of the posts.







Any help would be greatly appreciated because I love the plugin.

Yep, I see what you mean now. I'm just passing through but should get some time to investigate in the next day or two.

Hi christine,
I just took a look and for some weird reason it is setting the spacer height to 18px, which is the size of your font. I'm guessing that this is due to some CSS that has been added somewhere but I don't know where.

Can you try adding this to the bottom of your style sheet :

div.psbz {
font-size: 0px;
}


And let me know if that clears up the problem.
If so, I can add that to the plugin and give you a new copy to import.

EDIT : Just to speed things up! If that works on one theme, remove the CSS I gave you and re-import this plugin :
Post Splitter

And you should be able to import your settings to the new plugin. (Don't delete the old one before importing this one, but once installed and you've checked it has the settings , disable the old version.)

Very nice, <i>pebble</i>! Christine and I are friends and she had me take a look at the plugin at her place, I love that it is equipped to handle multiple themes. I also like that it is one less thing in the CSS section.

I do have a question. I have been using an image for the Post separator that is only about 50-100 pixels wide, and the CSS code just stretches it to fit the width of the board. How does that work with your plugin, does it have to be the width of the various themes?

I sure hope you plan a similar plugin with a Thread separator.

Hi JJ,
With this plugin you need to make the image the width of your theme, or bigger, it wont stretch the forum width, So if you have the same image for different themes with varying widths, you could just make the image the width of the widest theme.

That's good to know, @<i>pebble</i>league, I do have different widths on my themes and did use the same image for several of them. Thank you.

[christine]

JJ I tried your idea this morning and as <i>pebble</i> said it doesn't stretch the Post Separator so I had to re do one.
