Thanks, you can turn maintenance mode back on now.

Edit: Can you double-check the main settings for the plugin? From what I can see, none of the images have the width set. There are even some which don't have a board ID selected. For example, there should be numbers in the "ref" and "imwidth" fields here, as provided in the plugin settings, but there aren't any.

{
 "ref" : [],
 "img" : "http://i.imgur.com/QOpWAPf.png",
 "ovr" : "0",
 "imheight" : "75",
 "imwidth" : ""
},

It does this even when I do set the width, and some of them aren't assigned to boards because I decided to change the images and haven't finished making the replacements yet.

Hmm, not assigning boards shouldn't cause problems because it will just skip those images if it can't find the ID. I've tried doing the same thing, leaving some without boards, and the width was still applied with everything else just fine.

Does the value you've added for the width still show up in the plugin settings in the admin area? If so, there is some odd bug here which means your plugin settings aren't saving properly and you'll need to report it.

If the values don't show up still, I suggest checking you have the latest version of the plugin (0.4.5) and re-importing it. Before you do this, keep the settings page of the current plugin open so you can refer back to it. Then remove that plugin and import again, filling out the settings from the old tab you have open. This will hopefully fix it if the problem was some random glitch with this particular occurrence. If it does the same thing after that then you'll need to report a bug for it as it looks to be a problem with the admin area rather than the plugin.

Plugin Updated

I've updated this plugin to version 1.0.0 and added it to the Plugins Library. To get the new version, visit the plugin library.

The main change in this version was making a change to the .clickable event handler so that it is easier to open the links on the images added by the plugin in new tabs. For example, middle-clicking will now open it in a single new tab rather than two.

Hey there, Shrike !


I love this theme and am in the process of applying it to my forum. I do have one question for you.

You know at the right side where it shows how many posts and the most recent post? Is there a way to have that there? Its kinda a pain not having it there and not knowing who posted what recently.

Thanks!

This is a shot in the dark but I believe you don't have that information on the right because your images are too long for your board width, they're so long they push that information away and out of sight beyond your board's limit. I had the same issue on my board until I made the images shorter.

Hi,

Have you sorted this out now? I just had a look and I can see the recent post info at the right without issue. If you're asking about moving it into the fading part over the board image, that should be possible with some careful template editing or using a little footer script to move them. It's not something I'll be adding to the plugin itself though.

Hello, Shrike !

Yes,  I found I was having issues with sizing and just had to fix that. Thanks so much.

Quick question.

I use break lines in my board description, I've had to do as follow however for them to work with the plugin as otherwise it wouldn't show properly.. to give a better explanation:

Say my description is:

A world where everything is not always at it seems though most people would rather believe in what they can see and touch.

Where will your beliefs lie?

Before I used the plug in, my descriptions were just written as they are above in the first showing (in italic) but after I set up the plug in, the break line would just disappear so I'd end up with this:

A world where everything is not always at it seems though most people would rather believe in what they can see and touch.
Where will your beliefs lie?

For it to show with the break lines properly with the plug in running, I've had to put them this way:

A world where everything is not always at it seems though most people would rather believe in what they can see and touch.

Where will your beliefs lie?
Is there something somewhere I'm not doing right or is there a minimal change to the plugin that needs done for break lines to work properly? If I uncheck the plug in to render it inactive, I essentially get something like this:

A world where everything is not always at it seems though most people would rather believe in what they can see and touch.


Where will your beliefs lie?

It's not the end of the world, doesn't bother me much, I just realized recently that my break lines no longer worked 'properly' so I found a work around but I figured I'd bring it up.

It's not so much the plug in that has extended your board cells.. your images are so long that they're stretching the cells..

From what I'm seeing by looking at your images on their own, you've set up their length to be much bigger than they are in reality. They all seem to be sitting at around 265px, so if you set their length to that, your board should be fine.

It didn't work...there's that gap within the cell thats making it extend and when I shortened it, all it did was make the space within the cell longer although it was aligned

I don't see the plugin enabled currently on your board, so I'm not sure what you expect me to do.

Thank you.

Having seen it with the plugin disabled, I don't see that the plugin is making any difference to the width of the cells. The cells with the images in are set to the default 59% width (.boards .main). You could try changing this to be smaller (and adding the !important flag to force it) as well as not using stretching the images so wide.

As an aside, you should re-host the images you're using because you're hotlinking them from Wikia. Also, add ?useskin=monobook to the end of the URL on the wiki you're getting them from and you'll then be able to get the fullsize images rather than just thumbnails.

There's a gap (or space) after the picture and it extends the cell further than it should be...what should the width and height be so that I wont have the problem Im having and it'll fit?
