Code and php boxes too wide, how do I change this?

[Kohhal]

See attached pic, couldn't figure this out or find any relevant with the search. My forums are 780 width.

[Zachery]

edit the bbcode_* templates and add a width tag into them.

[Kohhal]

width:$stylevar[codeblockwidth];

Where does the template pull the variable "codeblockwidth" from? Where is that set?

[Kohhal]

Sorry for bumping, I'd like to change the value wherever the variable codeblockwidth is set rather than inserting the value here. (if that's possible?)

[Zachery]

To be honest im not sure where that is defined if anywhere in the settings, the closest thing i found was

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > BB Code Settings > Maximum [CODE] Lines

[Kohhal]

Yeh, I saw that but that's just for height, not width.

Actually, maybe it's cos I'm using the legacy postbit and that's why it's not a problem on here, there must be somewhere to change it?

Try this (I *JUST* ran into the same problem and looked for it in the template)...

Admin CP >> Styles & Templates >> Style Manager >> <Template you use> >> StyleVars >> Code Block Width (Pixels)

It says for pixels only, but I have it set as a percentage (95%) just fine, which is great because I have users who can choose between the legacy and the new postbit.

Nice one, that's it. I have it set to 480px now with my forums 780 wide and legacy postbit, fits well. Using % causes it to mess up in IE.

[Zachery]

Dont think you can use a percentage in that box (notice it says pixels) if you want to function like 100% use auto.

[StevenTN]

I tested it in all of my browsers (IE included), all of the postbit styles, no problem that I can see. But, I don't want it 100% either.

it you set a fixed pixel width for the codeblock, it will auto-scroll as needed.
