News on homepage fixed with problem

twiddler · New Member Joined: Feb 06, 2010 Posts: 16

If I take down left blocks on the homepage, the 'news' will still be displayed as a fixed width, but just 'centered left' if you will. Anyone know where I can find the file to edit for this and what I need to change?

Thanks

Most of the table based themes will expand to the correct size if left blocks are deactivated. Usually only the css based themes have a set position for the center content. Which theme are you using?

It's a custom theme that was originally coded from CSS. Other items/modules expand correctly, news is the only one that does not.

It really depends on how the theme was written. Some functions in the theme.php while others use something like story_home.html to define the news display. Does your custom theme have html files in it or just a theme.php?

It has an index.html and theme.php, then inside the styles/ folder there is a index.html and some css files.

if you could, paste the contents of the theme.php in the forum using the code function.

Where you find

Code:

if (($name=='Forums') OR ($name=='Private_Messages') OR ($name=='Members_List') OR ($name=='vwar') OR ($name=='Your_Account') OR ($name=='Journal') ) {

Try adding news like so

Code:

if (($name=='Forums') OR ($name=='Private_Messages') OR ($name=='News') OR ($name=='Members_List') OR ($name=='vwar') OR ($name=='Your_Account') OR ($name=='Journal') ) {

And see if that does not work for you.

No results.

Maybe try increasing the width in the function themeindex from 482 to a higher number and see if it will expand the width of the news article. If that works, you would want to increase the width in the function themearticle to match

Fixed...Thanks for that, feel like I should have seen that before!

Follow on questions...do you know why the login button of this theme in the header does not actually log you in? I know it has to do with the CAPCHA system, and was under the impression that setting the gfx check to 0, the button should work...
