Change text size in my Classifieds layout?

agbates · July 30th, 2007, 06:01 PM

I currently have my VB3 headers, footers and styles set to "on". I want to keep the look of my forum, but I noticed that the text size in the category name and description is smaller, and I think a different font than my forum. Is there a way to change this without having to create an entirely new style?

The category and description are set to the vbulletin smallfont class

Thanks Chuck, I'll have a go at that later. How about this..can you or anyone out there please tell me where in my VBulletin style, or if not there where, the setting for this color is changed? I don't know where this color is coming from..it's way to dark to be legible. I don't use this combination of wording and background color anywhere else on my forum, so it must be a setting that affects a small part of my forum.

Changing Highlight color in Ads?

In case anyone is looking for a more specific answer, open your admincp -> style manager -> select the default style used by your forum. Scroll down and you will see a box labeled "Table Border". Enter a weird value and see the effect it has on your main forum. I tried pink and the color I wanted to change above turned pink, so did much of my forum.

So, needless to say I can't change this value. I would think that changing the value of my small text font will have similar bizarre repercussions on my forum. What else can I do?

Is there a way I can have my PhotoPost Classifieds use a custom VBulletin style that is not my default style? That would make things easy. I could change whatever I want and no one would have see it on the main forum.

But something tells me this is not going to be that easy...

The direct answer is for you to add the style yellow to your vb styles each of them which is why I linked that post.

I'm not using custom style sheets. I've got VB3 integration set to "ON".

Chuck S · July 31st, 2007, 09:05 PM

Correct which is why you need to add that style class meantioned to all your vb styles

It is the classifieds highlight color

Gotcha

, so I'm guessing I do that via my VB admincp -> Styles & Templates -> ?? Sorry, this is the first time I've dabbled with the CSS stuff other than tweaking a few colors on my forum.

yes place that down in the additional css class part in vb styles

agbates · August 1st, 2007, 05:52 PM

That worked great Chuck..Thanks..how would I edit smallfont? in a similar way?

Chuck S · August 1st, 2007, 08:28 PM

yes you can do that surely

O.K., as I said, I know nothing about CSS, so I did some research via W3.org and came up with this:

.smallfont { font-size: 12px; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; }

I placed it in the same place as the .yellow CSS, but it changed my forum font size along with it. Is it possible to have the .smallfont used in my forum, and the .smallfont used in PhotoPost Classifieds unique?
