How did you guys get vB4 to fixed width? My members would definitely prefer this to fluid.

Admincp -> styles & templates -> style manager - > Style Vars ->
doc_width

change from auto to your fixed width setting with a unit.

You may want to adjust other doc______ variables as well like min width, margins, etc.

I'm not sure if that works, can you guys confirm? I know that for vBSEO.com we added a container to set both, fluid and fixed widths.

[Martyn]

it didnt work.. im stuck.. why do they make things so hard?

[Brian Cummiskey]

what exact settings did you use for the doc___ variables? I've changed widths on my test site multiple times now with this method.

[Ceri May]

Agreed,

Variables I found needed to be changed to get fixed width was

• Doc_width
  • Units = px
  • Size = 940
• Doc_margin
  • Units = px
  • Use the 'top' value for all sides = No
  • Top = 10
  • Right = auto
  • Bottom = 0
  • Left = auto

With the above you get a 940px site centred and with a 10px margin at the top, I have tried it on both my live and test sites both work fine.
