Hi,

I've modified a theme and I have a small problem which I just can't find how to fix. Users comments are aligning to the left - the whole comment block not the text and they aren't full screen unless in 800 x 600, I can't find how to change it anywhere and it's driving me nuts
I've been going through the style sheet for days and the comments template. But I can't fix it.

This is the style sheet:

body {
color: #2079BB;
background: #D0E6F4;
margin: 5;
padding: 0;
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #666666;
}

table.main{
background-color: #FFFFFF;
padding: 0px;
border-left: 1px solid #1A5E91;
border-right: 1px solid #1A5E91;
}
td.header{
background: #4E57B2;
height: 134;
padding: 0px;
}
td.subHLinks{

padding: 1px;
font-weight: normal;
vertical-align: middle;
}
td.banner{

text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}

and this is the system_comment.html template:

<{if $comment.poster.id != 0}>

<{$lang_from}>: <{$comment.poster.from}>
<{$lang_posts}>: <{$comment.poster.postnum}>
<{$comment.poster.status}>


<{else}>



<{/if}>


<{$comment.image}><{$comment.title}>
<{$comment.text}>






<{if $xoops_iscommentadmin == true}>


<{$lang_edit}><{$lang_delete}><{$lang_reply}>


<{elseif $xoops_isuser == true && $xoops_userid == $comment.poster.id}>


<{$lang_edit}><{$lang_reply}>


<{elseif $xoops_isuser == true || $anon_canpost == true}>


<{$lang_reply}>

Having read a bit more I think it's the theme.html
I've managed to get the comments in the center of the page by adding the
but can' get the width 100% - anyone know what I need to add/modify to do this? This is the bit in the theme - "content"




<{$xoops_contents}>


<{if $xoops_showcblock == 1}>
<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_ccblocks}>
<{include file="rmdigital/theme_blockcenter_c.html"}>

<{/foreach}>
<{/if}>

i noticed that when the comments are short (1 line or so), it doesn't display the table at 100% width. but if the comments are longer and take up a few lines, it stretches the table all the way across. is there any way around this?

I am not completely sure if this will work but in the centre column you could add a spacer (1x1 pixel transparent image) and make its width 100 percent, this should cause the column to be always 100 percent no matter how long the comments are.

I always put a spacer in so that Macs dont chuck a hissy fit either.

Good Luck

To get your comments box to stretch full-width, try adding the following to your stylesheet.

table {
   width:100%;
}


Hope this helps.

i have this in my stylesheet
table {width: 100%; margin: 5; padding: 5; font-size: 10px}
table td {padding: 0; border-width: 0; vertical-align: top; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}


but it appears that nested comments do not break to a new line so they are staggered. have a look here

in IE the comments are a jumbled mess, but in firefox they look perfect.

Try the following...

In style.css replace:
.comUserdetails {float: left;/*position: relative;top: 50px;left: 10px;*/font-size: 0.85em;border: 1px solid #d0d0e0;background-color: #fff9ef;padding: 3px;/*margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;*/text-align: center;margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px;z-index: 0; }

.comContainer {/*background-color: #ffffff;*/border: 1px solid #D0D0E0;position: relative;margin-bottom: 10px;z-index: 0;}


With:
.comUserdetails {float: left;font-size: 0.85em;border: 1px solid #d0d0e0;background-color: #fff9ef;padding: 3px;text-align: left;margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px;}

.comContainer {border: 1px solid #D0D0E0;position: relative;margin-bottom: 10px;}


Hope this helps.
