Centering and Fixed Width Help!

Nuke Cadet Joined: Jun 27, 2003 Posts: 7

First need to apologize for putting what is below into the wrong Forum (Bug Reports), so will see if I can delete it there. But here is the newbie question I had:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whoever cares to help!

I'm using the Xit! Theme I dled from Nukemods months ago.

It's set at 100% from checking it out from changing different resolutions with Win98.

Now for the dumb question -

Do I go into Theme.php (ONLY?) to change it to 800X600 and be able to Center it as well?

I'm a newbie and not sure what to do....

(anyone willing to give/share stepbystep help?)

Thanks in advance!

I beleive that the sizes for tables is in the tables.php file in the theme directory. The theme.php file manages the color scheme among other things

That's it? Edit only Tables.php and Center everything in Tables.php as well, without having to touch any other file?

If you have an example I could go by - it would be great since I'm new.

Thanks for your input!!!!

Well, in order to protect myself and at the risk of leading you astray Smile

it would be good to see the code from those two files associated with the theme. Then we can be sure. Very Happy

Hey! Thanks for responding back!

The XIT!

Once again, the main thing I want to do is 'CENTER' this theme and make it 800X600.....
I've included 3 Files of the XIt! (top sections) Theme - HEADER.HTML, TABLES.PHP & THEME.PHP...Not sure why I've included the Theme.php.. Smile

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HEADER.HTML FILE

<table class="bodyline" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td height="110" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><a href="index.php"><img src="themes/TheXiT/images/logo.gif" border="0" alt="$sitename"></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td width="150" nowrap><font class="content">$theuser</font></td>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TABLES.PHP FILE

<?php

/************************************************************/
/* OpenTable Functions */
/* */
/* Define the tables look&feel for you whole site. For this */
/* we have two options: OpenTable and OpenTable2 functions. */
/* Then we have CloseTable and CloseTable2 function to */
/* properly close our tables. The difference is that */
/* OpenTable has a 100% width and OpenTable2 has a width */
/* according with the table content */
/************************************************************/

function OpenTable() {
global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2;
echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\">
<tr>
<td><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\">
<tr>
<td bgcolor=\"#D9E1E9\"><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\">
<tr>
<td bgcolor=\"#7E95AB\"><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">
<tr>
<td bgcolor=\"#D9E1E9\"><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\">
<tr>
<td>";
}

function CloseTable() {
echo "</td>
</tr>
</table></td>

THEME.PHP FILE

Even though I prefer phpnuke now... Mambo was a little easier for me to make 800X600 and center it as well..

With phpnuke - the blocks just continue to get messed up...

If anyone can give just an example - it would be greatly appreciated!

thanx once again,
