lots of simple problems

[pika1995]

1. i've used this here support.proboards.com/thread/438686/add-pagination-links-bottom-threads to insert a bottom pagination but the box aligns to the left instead of the right and i don't know how to get it to align to the right. i didn't want to bump the thread either since it's months old. 

2. my banner and navigation bar overlap in certain sections. on the hompeage of my forum everything aligns right: oceansavenue.proboards.com/ but when you click on a section the navigation and banner are bigger than the section containers. oceansavenue.proboards.com/board/4/announcements (here's what i'm talking about: i.imgur.com/hNufv4w.png). 

3. the alignment of all the mini profiles are off. i've set everything to "center" but for some reason everyone's personal text is off by a few pixels, or their icons are off by a few pixels or their usernames aren't aligned and i've tried to fix it but it only fixes some and not others.

i didn't know if all 3 of these questions belonged in different sections but i just posted them here to make sure. if i posted them in a wrong section i apologize.

At the very bottom of the CSS Style Sheet (Themes -> Colors & Styles -> Style Sheet)

Look for this line

.secondary_pagination { padding: 0 5px; margin-bottom: 10px; }

And change that to code below to move the pagination to right

.secondary_pagination { padding: 0 5px; margin-bottom: 10px; float: right; }

Thanks Steve! that solved that problem.

would you or any body else know how to fix the other 2 problems?

pika1995, I'm not seeing problems 2 and 3 at all in Google Chrome. Everything is perfectly center aligned.

Can you attach a screenshot of what you're seeing?

hi Brian

here's a full page screenshot: i.imgur.com/OeXN9nh.png
and here's the issue i'm talking about: i.imgur.com/kbRF7KK.png
i'm using Google Chrome as well so that's weird. 

as for the other issue, here's a screenshot of one of my members: i.imgur.com/U8cpl5r.png
her personal text isn't aligned with icon/username/custom title etc. 
i don't know if it's just my eyes acting up but it just doesn't look aligned and idk how to fix it. or maybe there isn't a problem and i'm going crazy.

The first issue is due to whatever code you're currently using to hide the sidebar on those pages. Do you know where that's located so I can properly suggest what to append to it?

While the text does look a bit offset I can confirm that every element is properly centered in the mini-profile.

ohh okay, seems like i have a little fixing to do.
and for the sidebar i used the code from this thread: support.proboards.com/post/5437768/thread

Find this line in the code that you linked.

$('td.sidebarr-left-td,td.sidebarr-right-td').hide();

Add a new line after it and add this to it.

$('.sidebarr-center-td').css('padding',0);

I did that and it did fix the width problem, however now my sidebar and recent threads bar are directly connected to my categories on the front page: oceansavenue.proboards.com/

[Brian]

You added it to the incorrect line. It's supposed to be on the line directly after the first one I quoted, not after the closing braces.

[pika1995]

*facepalm* i'm so out of it today, thanks Brian - that fixed it. i also had like 4 other questions (it all has to do with the template) but idk if i should make a new thread or can i just ask you here since this thread doesn't really have a specific topic?

[Brian]

I guess ask them here.

thank you!
hope this won't take long.


1. getting rid of the subquote (basically the second quote within a post). my members have all unanimously requested that they wanted it removed and i've tried really hard going through all the layout templates to see if i could, but i can't find anything on it.


2. i asked another admin this question, but i don't think he understood what i meant (my fault since i didn't really explain it well) and it's been some time since he got back to me on it. but anyways my question was if it was possible to change the containers of the posts without changing the container of everything else. so here is the 'container' i'm talking about: i.imgur.com/xVgSgPt.png. is something like that achievable? and also making said container smaller than the other containers cause such a huge container looks clunky after awhile? i've talked to both of my other admins and they had no idea how to do it either. /endrant

3. moving the top advertisement between the banner and the navigation bar. i've read all the rules about not moving the advertisements and how it's a violation of the TOS, i just thought since the advertisement could go above the banner that it could go in between the two cause it looks a little weird that the navigation bar is separated from the forum. if that's against the rules i completely understand.

[Brian]

It's not possible to fully get rid of quotes within quotes, but you can hide them when viewing posts. Add this to Structure > Headers & Footers > Global Header.

<style type="text/css">
.quote > .quote_body > .quote { display: none; }
</style>

You can change the post container without messing with the other containers, but you'll need to point out which specific parts need to be changed. Any changes to its structure can be done in Themes > Layout Templates > Thread > Post List while any styling will need to be done by placing CSS in the style sheet.


The plugin that makes the ad appear above the banner actually doesn't move the ad above the banner. It moves the banner below the ad, which is allowed. So long as you're moving the stuff around the ad and not moving the actual ad itself you're fine.

Since you're using the sidebar plugin I suggest using Javascript to move the menu below the ad since moving it in the templates would cause the menu to be aligned beside the sidebar. You can place this in the global header as well if you want it done on all themes. Otherwise, place it after the <body> tag in Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper on whatever theme you want it done on.

<script type="text/javascript">
// Menu below ad banner
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#navigation-menu').insertAfter('#top-ad-banner');
});
</script>

thanks so much Brian, that really helped. i might need help with the container stuff later on but i'll try to see what i can do on my own again thanks
