Need help figuring out what to edit to change breadcrumb color?

[NUTNDUN]

Hi gang,
I just got photopost setup today and plan on making it live on the site after I do the 4.02 update tonight. Everything seems to look alright and works good. There is just one small issue I can't seem to figure out with which template to edit since it is using the forum header and footer. The piece I want to change is the breadcrumb in the category title bar, here is an example page:

Member Galleries - GTtalk Gallery

It is the normal link color and hover color that the site uses but since it is placed in the category background it is hard to see. What is it that I need to edit to change the color?

I beleive that would be the cathead template. You could try wrapping the $childnav variable in that template with a span html tag with a color of #ffffff

I found it was the cathead template. I need to wait till I do the upgrade on vb before I do anything. But I figured what i will do is add some css in the additional.css file in vb and span the child nav.

[Chuck S]

yep that would do it

Just thought I would post this as an update if anyone else has a problem with the dark font on a dark cat header.

There were three templates that needed to be edited. It was the cathead, memhead and searchbox.

I added new css in the additional css vb templates, here is the css:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Modify it to suit your color choices.

Then in the cathead and memhead templates I wrapped the $childnav like this:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Then in the search box template I wrapped everything inside the main td tag for the day sorting.

Yep that will work and I think is the main reason vb adopted the additional.css file so users can add there own stuff in.

I found a couple of other areas like the arrows on the calendar but I will get em taken care of.

I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong as to why thumbnails aren't showing up on the category listings index page.

[Chuck S]

well I would need to see an example of what you mean. Your url please to the issue

I got the category avatar thing taken care of with the make index thumb. I didn't realize the photos had to be in the category. I had added albums to the categories and was hoping it would just us the latest image for the thumb. It's no big deal as photos will add up pretty quick and I can add thumbs. I think automatic index thumb from latest photo would be cool as well as parent categories to inherit if no thumb is present would be great too.

The one other problem I am having is the gallery breaking the footer on certain pages, mainly in category view. A lot of the pages are fine but when you click to view a category it breaks the footer.

Here is a good page that the footer is fine:
GTtalk Gallery - Albums for all brands of garden tractors from John Deere, Cub Cadet, Massey, Bolens and more by members. - GTtalk Gallery

Here is a page that is messed up:
Tractors by Make - GTtalk Gallery

I realized what it is but don't know what is causing it, the sidebar is going out of place on the category view, works fine on the member galleries.

[Chuck S]

In your showgallery template make sure the itemcnt line is moved down a few lines on top of where the thumbsonly clause is

Content visible to verified customers only.

Ok, will look into it and let ya know, thanks for the help.

[Chuck S]

No problem should do you fine

I have a similar issue.The member Galleries links on the show members page are blue and so is my header background. I tried wrapping $childnav in a span and adding the css to my additional.css file but no joy. I temporarily removed $childnav and the page still worked with blue link color. I then renamed the membhead.tmpl file to see what would happen and even after restarting apache the page still works with the blue link color!!.

I must be missing something here.....

Update:

Ok so I resolved my issue by specifying the link parameters for forumhead on the VB side by add the following to additional.css:

.forumhead
{
color: #FFFFFF;
}

.forumhead a:link
{
color: #FFFFFF;
}
.forumhead a:hover
{

color: #FFFFFF;
}
.forumhead a:active
{
color: #FFFFFF;
}
.forumhead a:visited
{

color: #FFFFFF;
}

I haven't gone through every little page to see if there are any unintended consequences yet. I'll post back if I find any.

yes setting a child css declaration for link colors will allow a color there otherwise it would take the link colors from the parent css class
