Avalon Width

[desimw]

Just a quick how to change the width of the style. Instead of 100% I would like it to be 80%

Edit it in ca_config.html

I assumed that the JScript Script Editor inside the template folder is the thing to use to edit the html file, but when I tried to open it I got this runtime error:

'navigator' is undefined
Code 800A1391


First off, am I fishing in the right ocean here? If not, how do I go about editing html?

[CyberAlien]

Don't edit with that editor. Use some simple text editor instead, like notepad.

[monkeymaker]

Cool, did that. Should I be concerned though that the new ca_config.html file that I created in Notepad is a mere 88 bytes in size compared to the original file size of 578 bytes?

I haven't yet replaced the file on the server, pending this question. My worry is that somehow I lost a bunch of information even though the script was merely copied and pasted (then edited to 80%) from your original file to my new one in Notepad. Seems odd to me that the file size would be so much smaller. ???

[CyberAlien]

Probably you removed something else, or your old editor screwed up something. Get original file and edit it again.

[monkeymaker]

Okay, will do. And when I edit, the only change I make to the script is to replace the number 100 with 80, correct?

[monkeymaker]

Okay, I copied and pasted the script into Notepad from the original 578byte file, changed only the 100 to 80, and saved the new doc using Notepad as ca_config.html. File size again came in at 88bytes.

I went ahead and replaced the original file on the server this time and checked my site to see if the forum width was now 80% of what it was (full screen width). No change.

[monkeymaker]

hmmmm.... okay, maybe I'm on to something here. I just found an HTML editor in cpanel 11. I restored the original 578byte ca_config.html file to the server, then opened it using their editor. From there I could easily change the script from 100 to 80. I saved it, then went and refreshed my browser but no changes were reflected on my published website. I then went back into the file on the server and used their editor to also change the number 800 to 640 since that is 80% of the 800 pixel width. Saved it, refreshed, and again no changes to my forum.

Clear cache in control panel.

[monkeymaker]

Sorry it took me so long to get to this...

I just cleared the cache in cpanel inside the public_html folder, changed the 100 to 80, refreshed my site, and still no changes were evident.

I don't think I'm doing this correctly. :o

[CyberAlien]

I'm not sure what cache you are talking about, the one you are supposed to clear is inside "cache" directory of phpBB. Delete all php files in it.

[monkeymaker]

Oops, I was in the wrong control panel! :rolleyes:

I cleared the cache in forum's ACP and voila!

Thanks again. btw, if you want to see my forum in its infancy (I colorized your avalon style & centered my dumb logo)...
