I Did It!!!

I finally figured out how to stretch the messages so the article boxes line up cleanly!!!

I dont want to lose this info so I can use it again later on in the future..  so here it is...


IN your theme.pl in sub newstop there are table header listings...


code:
#############
sub newstop {
#############

   $post = qq~<table
 border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="menutable">
<tr>
<td class="newstexttitle">&nbsp;$subject</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="menubordercolor">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><table
 border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" width="100%" class="menubackcolor">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="100%" class="newssubtitle">$curcatname: $postdate $msg{'042'} <a
 href="$cgi?action=anonemail&amp;sendto=$poster"
 class="smallnewslink">$nick</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" class="newstextnormal">~;

}



look for the THIRD (3) width="100%" listed and add in height="230" after to make the sub look likey so...

code:
#############
sub newstop {
#############

   $post = qq~<table
 border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="menutable">
<tr>
<td class="newstexttitle">&nbsp;$subject</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="menubordercolor">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><table
 border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" width="100%" height="230" class="menubackcolor">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="100%" class="newssubtitle">$curcatname: $postdate $msg{'042'} <a
 href="$cgi?action=anonemail&amp;sendto=$poster"
 class="smallnewslink">$nick</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" class="newstextnormal">~;

}



that added in, the table inside the table inside the table that holds the news article posting on the front page will stretch to 230 pixels, allowing the page to have a clean and professional look!!!

If you find this useful, have no fear...  I Take Cash

Triple is not a bad idea...  its what you use it for that matters...

if I can could up with a triple column block that listed other things than the articles in it, it could be dropped neatly within the framework to load up cleanly...

this idea and concept is part of a new way to list the articles and the likes as well as designing high-level themes...

Better to split in triple, bottom and top blocks. this will be an great idea.

Now that I am stuck on a lower resolution (800x600), I can see that the columns are no longer equal...

As it isnt the best solution anyways, I am sure its not a major issue as most users are using 1024x768 minimum nowadays anyways...  just us suckers on older machines at work will notice the problem...

If anyone has a better idea on how we can secure the sizing of the blocks, let me know...

So I dont lose it in the future, here is BigMikes reply about the block sizes...

I delt with this issue before when using the dual column. If you use the same color in the news bottom, backgroung and news body, (like mine) it's not as noticable. It can be fixed by adding a height tag, but if I remember right the spaces still were a problem.

I'll check it out again and let you know. I think the end fix would be for the code to count rows and not characters.

I'll get back to you.
