Code Tag Does Not Use Scrollbars In Gallery

[Sockratease]

Hi.

Me again with another annoying question I hope you can help resolve.

As you may recall, our site is about Fractals - Art generated by Mathematical Formulas.

We often display the code used to generate our images, but it can involve numbers with many, many, decimal places.

The code tag is the obvious way to do that since it condenses that sort of thing in a box with scrollbars.

Here's an example of what we are getting when this is done:

https://fractalforums.org/gallery/?sa=view;id=29

The code box does not open scrollbars in the gallery, but does open them in the forum thread generated by the gallery  ( https://fractalforums.org/fractal-image-gallery/wiggly-fungus-spores-glitch/msg1141/#msg1141 ).  Without scrollbars in the code box, the page stretches out to be extremely wide.

This was not an issue on our old site, but that admin was good with php, and sadly I am not.

Do you have any advice on how we can correct this?

Hmm I wonder if you have a mod that is changing it the default smf code doesn't seem to have that option.

A quick fix would be to modify

Sources/Subs.php

Find

Code: [Select]

'content' => '<div class="codeheader">' . $txt['code'] . ': ($2) <a href="#" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">' . $txt['code_select'] . '</a></div>' . ($context['browser']['is_gecko'] || $context['browser']['is_opera'] ? '<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">' : '') . '<code class="bbc_code">$1</code>' . ($context['browser']['is_gecko'] || $context['browser']['is_opera'] ? '</pre>' : ''),
Change to

Code: [Select]

'content' => '<div class="codeheader">' . $txt['code'] . ': ($2) <a href="#" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">' . $txt['code_select'] . '</a></div>' . ($context['browser']['is_gecko'] || $context['browser']['is_opera'] ? '<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">' : '') . '<code class="bbc_code" style="overflow: scroll;">$1</code>' . ($context['browser']['is_gecko'] || $context['browser']['is_opera'] ? '</pre>' : ''),

Thanks, I'll try that!

We have limited the number of mods we install intentionally.  Probably only 5 to 10.  I can post the list if you like.

But did you notice that your own code box is not using scrollbars?  The page here is doing the same thing that happened in our gallery.

That is strange

Yeah doesn't seem like it is built into SMF by default.

[Sockratease]

That's a shame.

I just tried it, and no change   

It is odd that the scrollbars do appear in the forum post generated by the gallery, but not in the gallery itself.  So it is in there by default someplace.  But it didn't work in your post, so ...  ?

Now I'm even more confused.

Especially since I had to increase the number of characters a post can have from 20,000 to 50,000 since a member complained that his 28,500 digit coordinates were above the character limit for a post   

If I find an answer, or if the previous admin answers me when I ask again  (no reply from him about a few things) I will post here with the solution so you can know what did it.

Meanwhile, if you have any other ideas, I would love to try them!
