Admin menu

[rcull]

Maybe its just my computer or my eyes, but I am having trouble with the background color on the admin menu. I looked at the frame code and thought that it would be the "tddetails" color on the default.css, but when I changed it, the menu did not change. Where do I go to change that color?

Thanks

[Chuck S]

what integration you using?

[rcull]

I take it your asking me if I am using IE 6?

[Chuck S]

No what Intergration. Internal or are you integrating with a forum?

Your style would depend cause if your using an external forum you could be using the forum stylesheet and not ours.

[rcull]

Mmmm... OK, I'm integrating with ubb threads.

[rcull]

Just so's you know, you were right. It is using the forum stylesheet, the problem was compounded because the ubbthreads stylesheet does not have an entry for "tddetails". I have added it, and now have control!...

[Chuck S]

I think the correct thing would do is is edit the threads.php file in your forums directory of Photopost and make the style class calls this

//
// Style references
//

if ( $Globals['forumstyle'] == "yes" ) {
$Style['onbody'] = "forumdescript";
$Style['tableborders'] = "tableborders";
$Style['tablesurround'] = "tablesurround";
$Style['tddetails'] = "darktable";
$Style['tdbackground'] = "darktable";
$Style['tdnothumbs'] = "tdheader";
$Style['menubar'] = "menubar";
$Style['menubarnb'] = "";
$Style['catcolumn'] = "darktable";
$Style['photocol'] = "lighttable";
$Style['commentscol'] = "darktable";
$Style['lastphocol'] = "darktable";
$Style['lastcommcol'] = "lighttable";
$Style['small'] = "small";
$Style['medium'] = "font-size: 10pt;";
$Style['large'] = "font-size: 11pt;";
$Style['welcome'] = "forumdescript";
$Style['lighttable'] = "lighttable";
$Style['alternatetable'] = "darktable";
$Style['formboxes'] = "formboxes";
$Style['blockquote'] = "blockquote";
}

Alternatetable was dropped for 6.5 and we now assign that to darktable

[rcull]

just had a look at my threads.php and it is configured as you suggest. I tried changing the "darktable" to "lighttable" and it seems to be staying at the default color that I cannot see. I will look at it a bit more.

Okay too much egg nog

In your adm-inc.php file change the threads style calls to what I stated

[rcull]

Sorry to be problematic, and appreciate your assistance!

But, I have just changed the the adm-inc. as you suggest, but it doesn't seem to do the job.

[Chuck S]

well in the original adm-inc.php the threads styles where this

$Style['onbody'] = "forumdescript";
$Style['tableborders'] = "tableborders";
$Style['tablesurround'] = "tablesurround";
$Style['tddetails'] = "tddetails";
$Style['tdbackground'] = "darktable";
$Style['tdnothumbs'] = "tdheader";
$Style['menubar'] = "menubar";
$Style['menubarnb'] = "";
$Style['catcolumn'] = "darktable";
$Style['photocol'] = "lighttable";
$Style['commentscol'] = "darktable";
$Style['lastphocol'] = "darktable";
$Style['lastcommcol'] = "lighttable";
$Style['small'] = "small";
$Style['medium'] = "font-size: 10pt;";
$Style['large'] = "font-size: 11pt;";
$Style['welcome'] = "forumdescript";
$Style['lighttable'] = "lighttable";
$Style['alternatetable'] = "alternatetable";
$Style['formboxes'] = "formboxes";
$Style['blockquote'] = "blockquote";

I suggested changing them to this

$Style['onbody'] = "forumdescript";
$Style['tableborders'] = "tableborders";
$Style['tablesurround'] = "tablesurround";
$Style['tddetails'] = "darktable";
$Style['tdbackground'] = "darktable";
$Style['tdnothumbs'] = "tdheader";
$Style['menubar'] = "menubar";
$Style['menubarnb'] = "";
$Style['catcolumn'] = "darktable";
$Style['photocol'] = "lighttable";
$Style['commentscol'] = "darktable";
$Style['lastphocol'] = "darktable";
$Style['lastcommcol'] = "lighttable";
$Style['small'] = "small";
$Style['medium'] = "font-size: 10pt;";
$Style['large'] = "font-size: 11pt;";
$Style['welcome'] = "forumdescript";
$Style['lighttable'] = "lighttable";
$Style['alternatetable'] = "darktable";
$Style['formboxes'] = "formboxes";
$Style['blockquote'] = "blockquote";

It most definately works as this is what I am using

[rcull]

Somebody beat us to it! That is the way the original adm-inc.php is in the copy I have downloaded.

$Style['tddetails'] = "darktable";

$Style['alternatetable'] = "darktable";

I notice that when I look at the source code for the admin menu, and the main admin, they seem to refer directly to the forum style sheet.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.teambuick.com/forum/stylesheets/infopop.css" type="text/css" />

[rcull]

When changing the choice of stylesheet in the edit options list, the admin menu does not change styles only the rest of the pages.

[rcull]

The color conflict is occurrin with #666699 being the color for the admin menu background and the visited link.

Rcull

I use UBBThreads and things are fine if I use what I posted.

If your want to use Forum stylesheet integration you must turn it on in the admin options.

[rcull]

OOOOOOOooooooo..........

Thanks for pointing that out, I was sure it was on! That has fixed it all up... I admit I am an idiot, but I keep trying....

Put a little extra rum in that eggnog, you probably need it and do deserve it!

Thanks,
Bob
