djreason Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Hey all, does anyone know of a way to add a code or change the stylesheet so that viewers of my store can see the regular page regardless of which screen resolution they are using? Basically, right now if someone visits my site under 800x600 then they see half the page and have to use scroll bars to view the whole page. I want it so that the page looks and acts the same regardless of the resolution that they use. Please help!!

djreason Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Yes it is called oscommerce before you got it out of whack, this is what you should see "regardless of the resolution that they use" http://demo.oscommerce.com/ well, i installed a template and it is now a different size. Don't talk to me like I am an idiot. This is a forum for discussion and resolution, not childish smart-ass comments. Don't contribute if you do not want to help. thanks for nothing. will someone who actually cares about open source help me out please?

You have done something to your site to make it not " Auto Adjust" You don't tell anyone what you have done and yet you want help fixing your problem, how possably unles you post exactly what changes you have made do you expect help. You may possably want to go the the contrib forum and discuss your auto adjust with them as it is a contrib problem and not an config or install problem. Good luck. :blink:

chkntree Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Someone just told me about a "fixed width" contribution. i'm having the same problem. I haven't tried it yet but will do so and hopefully it will do the trick. it looks pretty easy.

djreason Posted July 5, 2006 Author Posted July 5, 2006 Doesn't work. Sorry! Yeah, This solution does not work. I have a template installed and it does not auto-resize. i even tried a clean install without the template but with a few color changes and text size changes in the stylesheet and it still does not work. anyone else have any other suggestions?
Guest Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Fixed width didn't work on your problem??? That's odd. It did for me. Worked beautifully in fact. How odd. That's a shame too, chickentree, cause it would have been perfect for your site! As for those with a template, it might be something in the template and you would have to ask the author(s) of the template about that. I've heard templates can really be difficult to work with.
choosealogin Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I'm confused on what the real question is. Fixed width is just that, it's fixed width and the fixed width CSS contribution (vger's) works perfectly. Templates can be a problem, as Moonlight said. Fixed width will not automatically resize anything. For that you need the auto/manual resizing contribution by boxtel that I posted. :'(
Guest Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I take it he wants to detect the screen res and adjust the store accordingly. You could do that with some jscript functions if the visitor does not block jscripts. You could use the fixed width and dynamically alter the width based on what the jscript functions return. Use the jscript screen object to retrieve the res. (width, height fields)
