I didn't test it, just looked at the install file and the files involved. Maybe I'll give it a try someday, but I'm pretty busy these days and I don't really expect anything more to come out of it...

Yes please,

Have a look at this. icon_biggrin.gif

I thought it might be due to
Code:
   'DEFAULT_BOARD_WIDTH' => $new['phpbbdoctor_default_board_width'],

in admin/admin_board.php.

I changed it into
Code:
   'DEFAULT_BOARD_WIDTH' => $board_config['phpbbdoctor_default_board_width'],
and it worked. icon_lol.gif

*Edit* It appears to me that the Full Screen setting doesnīt do anything, 100% is not defined.

I'll be looking at this over the holidays. I know it works; it's in use on this very board, and it functions. icon_cool.gif

Okay, thank you.

Yes, I see that on this board the 100% is defined but I didnīt see the same thing on the board where I installed this this morning. Px widths are defined fine but the 100% isn't.

Post subject: Re: User Selectable Board Width 1.0.1

I believe 100% width or Ful Screen doesnīt work for me because I have set the default width to 960.

As 100% is not in the select array in usercp_register.php well 100% can not be defined by the user.

I have tried to change the array as follows
Code:
   // BEGIN Set Board Width 1.0.1 (www.phpBBDoctor.com)
   $board_widths = array();
   $board_widths[] = "960px";
   $board_widths[] = "1000px";
   $board_widths[] = "1100px";
   $board_widths[] = "1200px";
   $board_widths[] = "1300px";
   $board_widths[] = "1400px";
   $board_widths[] = "1500px";
   $board_widths[] = "1600px";
   $board_widths[] = "1700px";
   $board_widths[] = "1800px";
   $board_widths[] = "1900px";
   $board_widths[] = "100%";

   $selected = ($board_width == 0 ? ' selected ' : '');
   $s_tmp = '<option value="0"' . $selected .'>' . '100%' . '</option>';
   foreach($board_widths as $key => $width)
   {
      $selected = ($width == $board_width ? ' selected ' : '');
      $s_tmp .= '<option value="' . $width . '"' . $selected .'>' . $width . '</option>';
   }
   $s_board_width = '<select class="post" name="board_width">' . $s_tmp . '</select>';
   // END  Set Board Width 1.0.1  (www.phpBBDoctor.com)


But these values donīt get stored in the database. Although I don't know much about types of tables I guess smallint is not the proper type for storing combinations of letters and numbers. I just tried to use a different type
Code:
alter table phpbb_users
add user_bo_ard_width varchar(25) not null
after user_style;

and changed in the MOD code
Code:
user_board_width
into
Code:
user_bo_ard_width
but stil, the numbers get stored but the letters donīt.

Additionally, I donīt use a <table> as a container for my board but a <div> instead, that's why I had to add the px to the values.

The text is not stored, the index to the array is stored. An index array value of 0 (zero) is translated to full width or 100%. The other values are stored as 1, 2, 3, ..., and so on, based on this code:
Code:
   // BEGIN Set Board Width 1.0.1 (www.phpBBDoctor.com)
   $board_widths = array();
   $board_widths[] = 800;
   $board_widths[] = 850;
   $board_widths[] = 900;
   $board_widths[] = 950;
   $board_widths[] = 1000;
   $board_widths[] = 1100;
   $board_widths[] = 1200;
   $board_widths[] = 1300;
   $board_widths[] = 1400;
   $board_widths[] = 1500;
   $board_widths[] = 1600;

   $selected = ($board_width == 0 ? ' selected ' : '');
   $s_tmp = '<option value="0"' . $selected .'>' . 'Full Screen' . '</option>';
   foreach($board_widths as $key => $width)
   {
      $selected = ($width == $board_width ? ' selected ' : '');
      $s_tmp .= '<option value="' . $width . '"' . $selected .'>' . $width . ' Pixels</option>';
   }
   $s_board_width = '<select class="post" name="board_width">' . $s_tmp . '</select>';
   // END  Set Board Width 1.0.1  (www.phpBBDoctor.com)

So the value in the table is stored as numeric, as it's not storing the pixel width but the index to the pixel width array.

That doesn't solve the original issue mentioned, but the code is working as expected. The "Full Screen" text in the above could really should have been a language variable... icon_redface.gif

If you have a div rather than a table, then you're not running standard subSilver, right? As long as there is a container div that sets the board width then this MOD should still work, with the proper template adjustments.

Post subject: Re: User Selectable Board Width 1.0.1

Okay, I believe I understand what you are saying about value 0 being stored as 100%.

You're right, it's not subsilver. icon_smile.gif

What happens is that for a table a numeric value will do for setting the width, but for a div I need a numeric value and something that indicates what that value stands for. I.e. px for a width in pixels or % for a width in percents.

The px value is easy because I simple do
Code:
<div style="width:{BOARD_WIDTH}px;>
.

Problem is that if the board_width is 100% this would show in html as
Code:
<div style="width:100%px;>


Not sure if this helps you in understanding what needs to be done but here it is. icon_smile.gif

I believe your code needs to be changed somehow so that I can store the values in the select literally, 960px, 1200px, 100% and call this value with
Code:
{BOARD_WIDTH}
.

I now see that if I use
Code:
   // BEGIN Set Board Width 1.0.1 (www.phpBBDoctor.com)
   $board_widths = array();
   $board_widths[] = 800;
   $board_widths[] = 850;
   $board_widths[] = 900;
   $board_widths[] = 950;
   $board_widths[] = 1000;
   $board_widths[] = 1100;
   $board_widths[] = 1200;
   $board_widths[] = 1300;
   $board_widths[] = 1400;
   $board_widths[] = 1500;
   $board_widths[] = 1600;

   $selected = ($board_width == 0 ? ' selected ' : '');
   $s_tmp = '<option value="0"' . $selected .'>' . 'Full Screen' . '</option>';
   foreach($board_widths as $key => $width)
   {
      $selected = ($width == $board_width ? ' selected ' : '');
      $s_tmp .= '<option value="' . $width . '"' . $selected .'>' . $width . ' Pixels</option>';
   }
   $s_board_width = '<select class="post" name="board_width">' . $s_tmp . '</select>';
   // END  Set Board Width 1.0.1  (www.phpBBDoctor.com)

and select "Full Screen" the user_board_width value in the database is 0.

That obviously works fine when using a <table> but is not good for a <div>.

I checked the code here on this site, and in admin_board.php the code is exactly as written in the MOD install notes.

I suspect what is happened is the SQL required to insert the new value into the config table has not been run. That is the most common error on any sort of MOD that sets up a new configuration option. The way the code is written if a value doesn't exist in the database, it's impossible to update.

I did run the SQL before checking if I could set the board_width from the ACP and couldnīt, after changing
Code:
   'DEFAULT_BOARD_WIDTH' => $new['phpbbdoctor_default_board_width'],

into
Code:
   'DEFAULT_BOARD_WIDTH' => $board_config['phpbbdoctor_default_board_width'],
I could.

Hi dogs and things
I have just tried your code-change
but even with this modification
I can still not change successfully the board-width from the Admin Control Panel.
When I change the % from there
it gives me the "Forum Configuration Updated Successfully" message,
but when it comes back to the ACP page (refresh)
the % there is still and always the previous one (65%).

so for me it still doesnt work icon_sad.gif

I even checked inside the database, to see if the query is effectively inside phpbb_config table, and it is, correctly set at 65%:

dogs and things,
are you sure that the line you suggested is the only thing you have modified from the original mod install.txt ? or you changed also the sql query?
