Post subject: User Selectable Board Width 1.0.1

This MOD will allow a board owner to set up a series of user-selectable board widths in their profile. The board owner can also set a board width of any specific value, or use the value "100%" to make the layout fluid (full-screen).

This MOD is in use on this site, so no need for a demo link.

A "release candidate" file has been attached to this post. The installation instructions have been validated as far as find targets, but I have not installed it on a vanilla board to test it out. If anyone can help out with testing and bug reports, that would be great. Thanks.

Hello,
while passing through the installation text I have found this minor mistake:

Code:
#-----[ FIND ]-------------------------------------
# On or about line 306; find text might not be a complete line
#
function display_avatar_gallery(

#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]-------------------------------------
#
)

#
#-----[ IN-LINE BEFORE, ADD ]-------------------------------------
#
, $board_width)


It's clear that you have to leave out the ")" at the end icon_smile.gif

Anyway, I just installed this RC mod in my heavy modded phpbb2 board, and for now it's already working perfectly...
As I have anything to report I will be back here icon_smile.gif

Thanks for this by the way!

No, the ) is not left out, that's only a partial line find. As far as I can tell, it should be that way. icon_smile.gif

hmm you might be right, but if i follow that codechange I end up with a "))" at the end of the line.

Following that codechange there's this:
Code:
#-----[ FIND ]-------------------------------------
# On or about line 382; find text might not be a complete line
#
$params =

#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]-------------------------------------
#
)

#
#-----[ IN-LINE BEFORE, ADD ]-------------------------------------
#
, 'board_width'

it seems pretty the same situation, but this time correct for me in syntax, because there is not an extra closing parentesis. But its just my point of view anyway! icon_smile.gif

Ok, I will review the changes again, thanks. What I do when I create those is I validate the "find" targets with a script, but I don't actually install the MOD. So if there is an edit that causes a problem, it won't be found until an actual install is run.

I will test / upload a new set of install instructions if it needs to be fixed. Thanks for testing!

Oh, duh, I read your post wrong. Your correction is correct. icon_smile.gif I thought you meant something else.

I will update the code and re-upload the text, thank you.

Post subject: Re: User Selectable Board Width 1.0.1

Today I noticed a small issue in my board, with this mod...
while users have absolutely no problem in changing the board width in their own profile, and apply the settings correctly, on the other hand I can't change the "default board width" in the admin control panel.
If i change the default value from there, it doesn't update the database and still remains the default value set initially with the launched sql query (ex. 100%).

Well, there's no problem about that... because I can change that value from phpmyadmin but I just can't figure out why its not working from adminCP... I have checked again all the modifications with the install.txt and I made everything correct...

Can you point me on what do I have to check better, in the code, in order to make the admincp default board width function to update the database as it should?

Thanks

Yeah, the insert statement is probably wrong. I will check it and post a fix.

[Edit]

Nope, the insert is fine, is the template and admin page that are incorrect. Open your board_config_body.tpl and find this:
Code:
default_board_width

and replace it with this:
Code:
phpbbdoctor_default_board_width

I think that's the only change you would have to make. If you don't mind testing that and letting me know, I will update the install file accordingly.

[Edit 2]
No, that's not the only change. I will be back in a bit with a better fix. icon_redface.gif

Ah, well, I have no idea what I had in mind. icon_smile.gif icon_lol.gif I will have to go back and look at the code and see what (if any) changes I made.

I had a good look at the MOD and I can't figure out anything other than the input name 'phpbbdoctor_default_board_width' drathbun had already pointed out... really strange.

Oh Salvatos! Thanks for replying...
have you tested this "little" mod as well?

To change default resolution I have to do it from the database directly, cause its not possible from the phpbb admin side icon_smile.gif

Maybe its just the input name too long?? Who knows... icon_rolleyes.gif
But it would be nice someday to be able to change this resolution from its admin panel icon_biggrin.gif
