I like the way one can change the view on your forum. Can you share how you configure your template to display the Wide View|Full View|Menu View feature for your forum? Thanks

This feature depends on the template. If you look at your URL forum, there's an extra field which is "expv". I love to include this as a feature but not all templates are created wisely. It's just impossible for this to be a configurable feature.

If you are good in PHP, you may be able to modify your template to do this. If you are not, you can wait until I release template that makes use of this.

Here are the code details:

expv=0 - menu mode
expv=1 - wide mode
expv=2 - full screen mode

These points refer to my template only:

displays left menu if expv=0, hide if expv=1 or 2
Code:
<?php if ( mosCountModules("left") && $_REQUEST['expv'] == 0) { ?>
    <td width="150" valign="top" height="100%">
        <table class="moduletable-left" border="0" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" height="100%">
<tr><td valign="top"><?php mosLoadModules("left"); ?></td></tr>
</table>
    </td>
<?php } ?>

adds the link on top of pathway "Wide | Full | Menu"
Code:

<?php
$pos = strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],"&expv=");
 $wide = ($pos >= 0 && !($pos === false) ? preg_replace("/&expv=[0-2]/s",'',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) . "&expv=1" : $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']."&expv=1");
 $full = ($pos >= 0 && !($pos === false) ? preg_replace("/&expv=[0-2]/s",'',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) . "&expv=2" : $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']."&expv=2");
 $short = (($pos >= 0 && !($pos === false) || $pos === false) ? preg_replace("/&expv=[0-2]/s",'',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) . "&expv=0" : $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']."&expv=0");
 if ($mosConfig_sef == '1') {
 $wide = sefRelToAbs(substr($wide,1,strlen($wide)));
 $full = sefRelToAbs(substr($full,1,strlen($full)));
 $short = sefRelToAbs(substr($short,1,strlen($short)));
 }
 $expand = $_REQUEST['option'] != "com_smf" ? '' : '<table class="expandtext" width="100%" align="center"><tr><td width="100%" align="center"><a href="'.$wide.'" class="expandtext">Wide View</a> | <a href="'.$full.'" class="expandtext">Full View</a> | <a href="'.$short.'" class="expandtext">Menu View</a></td></tr></table>';
?>
<br /><?php echo $expand; ?><div id="pathway_outline">
<div id="pathway"><?php mosPathWay(); ?></div>

makes it full screen if expv=2
Code:
<?php $main = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); MH_get_layout($main,($_REQUEST['expv'] == 2 ? "99%" : "760")); ?>

Thanks a lot.  I am not fluent in php yet but I will give it a twirl this weekend. In the meantime, I will look forward to your template release.

At the risk of sounding stupid... this code goes in the mambo template index.php file, right?

I gotta have the Wide View|Full View|Menu View thingy but I'm getting over my head.

I tried to make it work and couldn't get it... so I made another template without the right columns and assigned that one to the forum menu with a choice to go to a smaller forum on the top menu. Works fine... just not as sexy as Admins.  Wink

Hey,
  I am using SMF and mambo thanks to your mod but I would love it to have no menu and still be in a wrapped view, something like what you call expv,1 or what lawman did. Im kinda a um..PHP..novice?..heh and if you could elaborate more on how I would go about doing this that would be great, thanks either way!  Kiss
