Module width

Posted: Sun Sep 24, 2017 11:02 pm

I have another noob question ...

Is there a way to change the minimus width of a module? If someone moves the shrinks the size of the window the module collapses down to a certain width - I would like to increase the width on a particular module. Is this something that can be done on an individual module or is this set in the theme for the whole site?

Its theme-based, not really recommended but yes its possible. Which theme you are using and which module should have a fixed width-value?

I am using fisubice and it is a custom module that has a text field that is wider than the minimum width of the main area if the window is small enough.

I was able to fix this issue by hiding the right blocks.

Thanks

1. There is no need to set a fixed width-value fo the whole module. Put a <div> arount the input-tags like this:

html Code:

<div class="nowrap">


    <input type="text" name="foo" value="bar" />


    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />


</div>

You can also try to make the input-field smaller with CSS or with the size-attribute.

2. show/hide right blocks

php Code:

// BEGIN: Added in v2.40.00 - Mantis Issue 0001043


$index = 0;


if (!defined('INDEX_FILE')) define('INDEX_FILE', true); // Set to FALSE to hide right blocks


if (defined('INDEX_FILE') AND INDEX_FILE===true) {


// auto set right blocks for pre patch 3.1 compatibility


	$index = 1;


}


// END: Added in v2.40.00 - Mantis Issue 0001043

Good to know. The text was bleeding over into the right-side blocks if the window was reduced enough.

This is what I did - when I finally actually read the "//Set to FALSE ..."
Thanks again nerelax.
