Page Numbers not Wrapping

[Christine]

I just loaded a clean install of RC4 onto my test server.

I had the post page view set to '0' and the screen was incredibly wide, so I set them back to 25 and then 15, but the problem is that in clicking the '>' button on the right only stretches it.

It isn't wrapping, and it isn't dropping off the first pages and replacing them with 'First' and '<'.

It is working here on vb.com -- I wonder if there is a max view that we should set and just run with (like 5?)

Screen shots attached showing page 1, page 9 and page 23. Thanks for any help on this!

That is why I have set it to just show 5 to 10 max

WHOA! That is SOOO not the answer LOL.

I'm now encountering this issue as well. Except not for the count of threads but rather for the post count page links that show up in the thread rows!!

This is not good and the answer is NOT to display less.. I want them all displayed for sure, but they should wrap and cause material to drop down below them to make room when you end up with a 'paragraph' worth of such numbers.. not just keep scrolling wider.

For my issue with the post pages, it's actually distorting the width of the entire forums.

Are these being displayed with a <nobr> type tag or something? If so, why? Or, is something else the culprit? I've got to get these to wrap, as will many other people, so if anyone can shed some light on how to get numbers (in post pages and forum pages) to wrap we'd all appreciate any ideas! :-)

I wasn't giving an answer, I was giving my oppinion

Okay, I'm on to something here (for me that's amazing)...

So, it looks like in the pagenav template there is a <td> table cell being created to house each page number, and those are being generated inside of the 'if condition' statements. This coding is way way way over my head, but it seems to me it'd be possible to simply include all the page number generation if condition statements exist inside a single table cell rather than putting those <td> statements inside the if condition ones, right? If so, then all page numbers would fall into a single cell and thus wrap without stretching the forum insanely wide when there's gazillions of page numbers all being displayed.

Anybody have an idea as to where the <td> statment would go to incorporate all the page numbers?

[freaky]

did anyone figure this out?

Not yet.. I'm hoping someone with a little html/php know-how will let us know where to enclose the <td> tags and which to remove from that template in order to get all the page numbers themselves housed in a single cell so that they'll wrap. But it's beyond my php knowledge.

[Howdy]

cbiweb,
thanks much for posting that. I tried it on my forum and it works... I was having problems with my page running wider than it should once I got past about 40 pages.

It is a little tough to read all of the numbers on the larger threads, see here ->

http://anglerinsider.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2118

I'd like to figure out how to wrap the page numbers... But this does work, thanks for your work on this...

[cbiweb]

You're most welcome, Howdy! I was wondering if anyone ever saw that post. The thread seemed to have died right after. But nearly two years later isn't bad, though. LOL

Not sure what would cause the scrunching of the numbers. I didn't have that problem. If I get a chance I will look into it.
