One more little problem...

digidivakathy · January 14th, 2008, 11:19 PM

It seems that historically this area

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

was controlled by the same styling that controlled this area,

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

which is styled here

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

in the vB style manager. However, for some reason, it isn't working that way in this installation. Any idea why or how to fix it? I don't want to change this color everywhere in the forum/gallery, but these links have to show up.

Any help is appreciated

Code:

Actually the title is controlled by the normal class in vbulletin but you can gladly edit your showgallery template and replace that normal class with tcat.

I made the edit as shown, but it didn't change anything for me. Here's the link if you want to peek at the source to see that I did it correctly. I didn't make any edits to the css because I assumed this would cause it to use the colors that were already there for the tcat class.

You did not edit the correct template

It is the one in the vb3enhanced folder under templates showgallery.tmpl

digidivakathy · January 15th, 2008, 01:27 PM

Chuck, this is going to sound weird, but I have deleted the file I originally downloaded and edited and downloaded the one you gave me the path to. When I open it, this is the code in it:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

If you go to view source, you can even see this code there...but still, the links in the titles are not the right colors. What am I doing wrong?

Yes I have viewed your source and again you have not modified the correct template in question. Are you modifying the template in the vb3enhanced folder showgallery.tmpl? It still says class="normal". You dont want that. Infact you can change that class to tcat or remove the span tag.

digidivakathy · January 15th, 2008, 03:59 PM

Oooohhhh. See, that's where I was confused. Right above that, it already says class="tcat" in that template. In the first one I downloaded, neither one said it so I changed it to say exactly what your code said, the first to "tcat" and the second to "normal" because that isn't what they said. So, when I grabbed the right file and it already said exactly those things, I was a bit confused.

But...now I have done it, I have changed it to this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and uploaded here:

gallery/templates/vb3enhanced/showgallery.tmpl

and still, no change.

Chuck S · January 15th, 2008, 04:23 PM

Actually yes you edited the wrong showgallery template but the code in your vb3enhanced template if you want to just use tcat and remove the span would be this. Your still using a closing span

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You still are editing the wrong template because the same template I have linked in my last 3 replies still is a default template with normal in there. Go ahead click the link below and see what I mean

I clicked your link, Chuck, and I see my code:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

What line are you looking at? I'm looking at line 101.

Chuck S · January 15th, 2008, 06:23 PM

please relook at your template this is what i see as the code I am noting has not been changed.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

digidivakathy · January 15th, 2008, 06:30 PM

Here are screenshots so you can see what I see:

I clicked on your link, here's a shot of the address bar:

I dont see any updated template but viewing the source of the page why not try this. Try setting a color code to override the default as somewhere in your custom style you have that color set and that text is defaulting to this. In commercial vbulletin styles you dont see this issue normally.

digidivakathy · January 15th, 2008, 07:11 PM

Well, actually, what I am trying to change is controlled by the showmgall.tmpl, not showgallery.tmpl, that's why I haven't been seeing any changes. However, I'm still not succeeding in changing the color. When I change the span style, the font size changes (because the span style in this template is "smallfont" so when I change it, it goes to normal size), but it still stays the default color for links. I am just so frustrated with this. It shouldn't be this hard to change a color, I've NEVER had this much trouble with something like this before (not complaining, just venting, this is going on 24 hours of trying to fix this one little thing and it's like the last part of building this whole site for me).

BTW, it's just the default template with a few customizations by me in the back end. Here's the code I changed in the showmgall.tmpl:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Chuck S · January 15th, 2008, 07:28 PM

Right but what I am saying is usually when you purchase commercial styles they have been tested and there is no color issues like this. We wrote our integrations and templates to match the normal vb styles.

Now trying to change what you want depends on where your changing it. The link you gave me should not be the members gallery it is a normal cat meaning showgallery template. As far as your style where are you setting this color in the style? Is it the normal class? You have that blue color showing up there. The tweak I showed to the template to set the color white should mean the span color is white.

I will have to view your site later as my connections seems very slow right now.

Chuck S · January 15th, 2008, 07:29 PM

I can tell you this it is a link color that is setting this color to that color so what links have that color?

digidivakathy · January 15th, 2008, 07:37 PM

Well, I needed a style to match the graphics the customer designed so purchasing a commercial style wouldn't work for me. I have edited nothing outside of the header (via the admin panel) and the colors (also via the admin panel). I don't see how or why either of those things would affect something this far down in the code when they don't seem to be affecting anything else. It makes no sense at all. For now, though, I have just changed the style to alt1 which makes the colors that it refuses to change acceptable. If the client can't live with that, we'll have to dig deeper. Hopefully, this will be good enough.

alt1 is the only one that has this color combination. The links in another place are the same color, but the hover doesn't change and this one does. alt1 also controls all of the other links below that one...but, there are links in the space at the top that is controlled by tcat and those links are the colors I have designated for the links in the tcat area. For some reason, though, these links in this one spot won't listen to the tcat link colors and want to use the alt1 ones.

digidivakathy · January 15th, 2008, 07:48 PM

I fixed it! There's an alt1 tag here that doesn't need to be, I think:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

When I took that out, it fixed my colors and doesn't appear to have changed anything else.

digidivakathy · January 15th, 2008, 07:53 PM

The bad news is, though, I have the same problem here:

http://purplepaperflowers.com/galler...ser=26&cat=500

digidivakathy · January 15th, 2008, 08:02 PM

Okay, fixed that, too...

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

removed the red and fixed this one. Did I do anything that will seriously mess anything else up? I can't find it if I did, but I know it could show up lots of other places that I may not be seeing...
