font color Product Options Drop Down

[creativepart]

My VB forum has a light yellow background and the font color on the drop down menu on the Product Options menu for PPClassifieds 5.23 is white.
So, the menu options don't show up at all (white type on light yellow background).

I can't seem to find a way to change this.

Can you give me some support on this issue please?

Thanks

For now I turned off popup menus and that works OK. But I'd prefer to use the popup menus.

It would help to see your issue as I would think its a style issue for sure with your style.

How we do the menu is like this with these classes based off the vb4 default styles drop down menu classes. If your custom style uses different style classes etc then you might get different results.

I can only code based on the style released by vbulletin and that is the menu you see above. It is a white background with black writing and you hover over it the background turns yellow.

The link to the site is Main Index - Guitars and Gear For Sale.

I turned the popup menus on so you can see the problem.

My forum's style is customized but based on standard vb 3.8.7.

Looking at my VB stylesheets the Classifieds isn't using the style correctly.

Here are a screen shot of my CSS setting in my VB admin and below that a screen shot of what other popup menus look like. I can't take a screen shot of the Classifieds popup menu because it won't stay on the screen for me to draw the screenshot region around it when it's down.

But in Classifieds the Popup background is light yellow, the font is white and the hover and visited colors are also white.

The popup menu code for vb3 is this. Your popup is off.

Content visible to verified customers only.

We map vb styles to our style names so tddetails is alt1 and menubar is tcat.

Therefore you would need to see where in your alt1 style your setting a white background with a light yellow color. We do not use any type of popup style stuff. We use style mapping in vb3 which matches specific styles to specific photopost style classes.

So your issue is your looking at the wrong style class in vb.

Maybe in your alt1 style in vb try putting this setting the link colors to black #000000

I'll give that a look.

Thanks

Well, I checked that and the font color of the first alternating style already is black.

I'd say it's using the background color of the first alt style but the font color from somewhere else.

Any other suggestions? I can manually alter the php file to use a different style can't I?

[creativepart]

I found it. It's using the css for "category strips" in VB. Changing this to black, changes some but not all of the other menu items in Classifieds.

Like on the menubar, changing this font to black changed every other menu item on the member bar to black as well.

Here's a screen shot:

[creativepart]

Changing the category strips font color causes too many other problems. If I could change the background color of the drop down to something darker then I'd be all set.

And, the reason some of the menu items changed color but only every other one, is that I have visited the other menu items and I had not changed the visited color. in Category Strips style.

You can remove tableborders in the drop down menu code see if that helps but our application just like vbulletin uses tcat as the menubar menu and the yellow part your referring to us alt1.

If your background color of alt1 is yellow if I remember my vb3 style vars you can also specify the main font color as well as link and hover colors. what happens if you make these all black.

The thing is the default vb style looks fine which is what we code to in any integration so the changes in how your doing the style is what is causing this so backing this out to find out what the offending thing is essential to fixing this. Finding out where your specifying link colors of white is what needs to be done.

The reason I linked the code above is so you can look in those 3 classes and see where you are creating your problem. tableborders or alt1 which one?

I looked at your stylesheet and I see no link colors specified for the alt1 style class

Do you see where you can set link colors in that alt1 style class? They are the 3 areas at the bottom of that style box. Yours are probally empty right now.

[creativepart]

I tried changing the font colors of alt1 (the three below the main settings) and it did nothing. It's picking up the font colors from "category strips" as I have said. I can't change the background color of alt1. It would effect too many things.

I guess the thing to do is turn off the popup menus.

Thanks for your help.

[Chuck S]

well I can only help you if I can see your style. What I say to do will work if you do it right. However I do have a photopost login for your site but your admin panel is locked by htaccess so I can not see your style manager to see your style.

Like I said you have no declarations that I have talked about several times now.

[creativepart]

I can PM you the htaccess if you'd like. Can I PM you? Oh, and what username do you have for the photopost login?

[Chuck S]

The username is the one you gave me photopost it works as admin.

You can email us the htaccess or easier yet simply rename the file to HTACCESS and then tell me.

I can go in take a look and when I am done you can rename it back to .htaccess

[creativepart]

It's VERY likely that the username I gave you previously was deauthorized after that session. But since I don't know the username I can't tell you if that's so.

[Chuck S]

That username definately is an admin you simply need to rename the htaccess file as I noted so I can take a look. That is if you want me to look at it.

[creativepart]

OK, then I'll remove the htaccess on that folder temporarily.

However, I'd like any changes to the main forum CSS file to be discussed with me before they are made by you.

Also, I've already had members complain about not reading the drop down so I have again disabled the DHTML popups in Classifieds Admin.

[Chuck S]

The login I have can access the admin panel but has no access to the style.
