Them blocks are too blocky
« on: October 01, 2009, 04:27:07 am »
Its a shame the blocks look too blocky,...i had to remove it and look at another option.

I am now waiting for tinyportal, as there blocks look much tider, compact, and nicer overall,....but i did like the ezportals method of editing blocks, and inserting blocks too, if only you could make them blocks look more like tinyportals block i would deffo install ezportal then.

Cheers for such a cool mod anyway.

Can you point us to how we might be able to edit the look and feel of the blocks?

I like style too and for me, I have no problem with blockines of the blocks, they are blocks after all. I'm happy with it and TP has just become very difficult to work with, at least the last time I used it, it was.

Same here no problems with the blocks, they can be adjusted, Using and testing blocks from other portals including the one you mentioned have their own problems.

Things to try! have t you decrease your Blocks sizes to 160 at 15%, these can also be varied! but both must be change accordingly!

Auto setting: (on the current theme)

admin>current themeTheme Options and Preferences>
 
Forum width:
Set the forum width. Examples: 950px, 80%, 1240px. leave blank for auto or max size!

Now you may want to try this but make back up copy first on you note pad, name it "index.css" and use the quotes so it sames the same title.

OR you could try this!

If you are having trouble with fitting your left center and right blocks, you may also just your Theme width or wrapper through the CSS file, or Index.css

it should be something like the

Code: [Select]
/* This division wraps the entire forum when a forum width is set. */
div#wrapper
{
   margin: 0 auto;
}

You may also add a line like this

width: 95%;
just before the margin:0, auto;

on some custom themes to expand your theme some!

So you will then have this:

Code: [Select]
/* This division wraps the entire forum when a forum width is set. */
div#wrapper
{
   width: 95%;
   margin: 0 auto;
}

hope this helps.

Remember back up you stuff first!

Maxx
