Basic Edit Question

MidwestGerman · December 22nd, 2012, 05:10 PM

I'm looking to change the background where the role of most recent photo's show up in the gallery.

It looks correct on the forum but for the life of me I cannot find out how to make it work on the actually gallery page. Right now it's transparent and is showing whatever is in the background.

Ideally I'd like to know how to change it in VBulletin's Style Variable Editor but any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have attached pictures showing what I want it to look like from the forum page and another picture showing how it looks on the gallery. (I am not allowed to post links so I have to attach the pictures)

Try placing this at the bottom of your photopost.css template in your vb template editor.

It is already in the latest downloaded code

That's a thing of beauty as it did the trick but I did notice a different change, if you look at the before picture of the image I have right above your post and this one the black lines that divide the galleries have disappeared. Is there any way to bring them back?

Maybe edit the categories-forum template and remove the class call to box-body

Unfortunately that didn't work, it removed all the grey area and made it transparent as shown in the attached picture.

I know it's small not having the lines to seperate the sections but it's enough to be frustrating. LOL

What about this, instead of having the lines which VBulletin doesn't have in their forums anyways do you know how I could add the fad look that the VBulletin forums has? I know how they make it work but I don't know where to edit the template to make it work in PhotoPost.

And of course since it's me here's an attached picture showing what I'm talking about.

we use to have that style look in older versions before we did our own style matching let me see if I can find an old versions template might take a few days

I understand completely that it may take some time and that's fine. The site is brand new and I'm wanting to get everything sorted out before it goes "public" anyways.

Since you're already helping me (THANK YOU!) maybe you could help me out with something else as well. I've tried everything I can think of without success but I want to change the color of the text shown here that's white in color but for the life of me I cannot figure it out.
Same goes for the brackets around the gallery name in the most recent images at the top. I don't want them to be white either.

Look at your custom style we map the NON LINK color in the box-body td alt1 and alt2 to the body style color which on your stylesheet is set to white

see in our photopost.css

This tells me if I look at your style matching for that custom style you use the body_color is set to white.

Thank you, the best thing for me to do was to change the body_color to black as there was another section outside of PhotoPost that I wanted changed to black as well. Everything looks good but it changed the copyright text to black which is the color of my background so it can't be seen. How do I change the color of just the copyright so it will be visable as I did not pay for branding free?

Chuck S · December 23rd, 2012, 04:22 PM

well my suggestion would be to revert the change and then if you want the text in question to be black in photopost for the categories list set that specific style color statement to #000000

I do not have anything I could tell you to help about some copyright color because what your saying is you want the background of the body page to be black and also your setting the text to be black. There is nothing I could tell you to help that.

MidwestGerman · December 23rd, 2012, 08:23 PM

I cheated and decided to just purchase the branding free option. Once I receive instructions on how to remove it I'll do that instead of having to worry about making changes to the templates.

Chuck S · December 23rd, 2012, 11:20 PM

LOL well not quite cheating but yes once they process your order you will be able to remove the branding.

I was just wondering if you were able to find a fix for this?

Thanks
