Inbox News panel

[pedrosantos]

I need to mess a little with these columns to provide space for the league table (already change the league table and its just fine in other panels). Which panel controls this screen and what code lines should I change ?

Thank you

Competition news panel, approx. line 250 in notepad++, the "default_width" option here controls the central column, i.e. manager movement, transfers, etc. Make this smaller to make leagues on right bigger. If the central colum becomes too small you can make the main, left hand side where the news is smaller by changing the default width or minimum width again (approx. line 20) 

I'm good adjusting the left column (approx. line 20) but not the central column.

This is the code from line 245 to 255

 </container>
            <container height="180">
              <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="-1,2,-1" offset="0" gap="0" />
              <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" layout_children="true" inset="0" />

              <container class="competition_news_item_panel" file="competition/competition news item medium" index="20"/>
              
              <widget class="picture" file="dividers/standard/vertical/line" width="100"/>

              <container class="competition_news_item_panel" file="competition/competition news item medium" index="21"/>
            </container>

I've tried different values with that width but there's no change.

What width? There's no relevant width values presented.

Look for something like:

<container class="competition_news_side_panel" id="side" default_width="290" priority="2" />

    <container class="bordered_box" id="sid2" appearance="" minimum_width="340" priority="3">
      <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" layout_children="true" inset="0" />

 

Some tips:

When using a custom skin, consider this when people give line approximates, this is usually based on default skins, we have no way of knowing this for custom skins so it's very general guidance to point in the right direction.

You can always search (ctrl+F) the file for what you're looking for, i.e. "default_width". 

getting better

I just need to fix the right column

The minimum_width one below should fix that. I just tested it myself to make sure.

 

P.S. It might help other people if you named the thread 'Competition' News panel, as strictly speaking it's not the inbox, it will help 'searchers'. Thanks 

Is it possible to edit the thread title ? I didn't know which panel had to be worked, so I couldn't title thread with something I wasn't aware.

Thread titles aren't that important if they are at least somewhat descriptive, as I tend to go back through any useful threads and update the titles when adding tags. Can you guys even change your thread titles as I know you couldn't under the old forum software?

Nope that was me (new forum seems to hide the edit history line from normal users by default and I don't always remember to retick the box)
