cannot restore page width to default 998px

I resized the page width for the homepage from the default 998px, but I could only get 994px (the closest px) when tried to restore it. Which means I had to resize each page to 994px, which was pain in the neck. There used to be a reset button in D6.1.x, but not anymore.

Yeah, the width setting has a tendency to hate certain pixel rates. As to why, I can only imagine an alcoholic father from the days of an older Dolphin.

As for the reset feature, it was removed when it stopped working properly. It should return in the next feature release. To get the good old 998px for page widths back, you'll need to edit the database, if I recall.

Go find the page in the sys_page_compose and change it back in there.

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the change to 998 px in the database (table sys_options) does not resultCry

Make sure you hit all database fields. Not tested in this new d7 version but in previous versions when making some changes to the database you have to re-compile the language file in admin panel for changes to update.

And since many have the database caching feature enabled for many settings you could potentially have to clear your caching in admin panel as well. Again this is not a for sure thing, but something to consider.

Which page did you resize?

I opened a ticket on this a month ago, and it got shoveled onto the 'Enhancement" pile.

http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/1592

I reopened it for 7.0.1.  When you can't even set the slider at the default page width, I call it a bug.  The folks at Boonex seem to believe, that us asking for a feature to operate properly, is an enhancement.  They can call it whatever they like, just so they enhance the damn thing to the point it works.

Not only that...you don't even have an option to resize the subpages found under Video and Sound (Add album, My Album), and File (Add folders, My folders). You cant resize from DB too. Which means, you cant resize the rest unless this problem is fixed...so we're stuck with 998px! :(

Homepage.

I found a temporary solutions.

  • simple: edit  / cache / sys_page_compose.inc
  • better: a change in the database, tables sys_page_compose (17 records!) and sys_options (1 or 2 records), and remove / cache / sys_page_compose.inc

Gameutopia, you were right, the change was needed in several records of the database. Thank you.

Go find the page in the sys_page_compose and change it back in there.

It worked just fine for me, you open Phpmyadmin and then find sys_page_compose in the list on the left and then choose the page you want to change the heigh to and edit it and the set the size.


Worked for me.

And make sure you delete the cache from ftp not from admin panel otherwise it won't work.
