[vB4] Change whole forum width?

[forcerr]

Just a quick one (hopefully) i'm finally upgraded to VB4 and trying to get my head around the new styles. how or where can i change the width of the whole forum? So for example the width is 50% of the browser and centred?

In the stylevars, in the common group, is doc_width, along with several other doc controls. By setting the width and the margins you can adjust the overall width of the forum.

This didn't give me the desired effect as i have a header which is 100% width i just wanted the whole of the vb header/forum parts to be 80% width. I achieved it by adding a page-width div around the whole thing and then limiting the width that way. i'm surprised there isn't a property wrapped around the whole forum to achieve this.

Do a search in the templates for bodywrapper. I think that may be what you're looking for.

I was able to set doc_width but in 4.1.10 there is no bodywrapper template and the problem is that the website is left justified on the page, not center when you change the width - do you know to get the forum centered on the page?

I'm having the same problem. I just came from 3.8 and maybe its an adjustment period, but the old way was much better.

Change your theme Stylevars>Global>doc_margin (Document Margin) to something like this;

Top:0
Right:auto
Bottom:0
Left:auto


It should do the trick.

you sir, are amazing.

Thanks, this saved me hours of work im sure. I have the ability to turn something simple like this into a 10 hour process.
