Template problem with VB 4
 
1 Attachment(s)
I just installed the latest version of Reveiwpost and everything seems to be operating correctly, but I am running into template issue. It is with the formatting of the stock template for either customer service or regular. There are no boxes or alternating colors around any of the text so it make it very difficult to read. I've attached a screenshot to show what is going on.

One other thing, I setup extra field for a website url, but don't want it to be a required field. Is there a way to make the extra field optional when submitting an ad?

This is because we make this use a default vb theme and all the colors are white. In your custom style what are the alternating color class call names?

idslamyou August 28th, 2010 05:08 PM

I'm not sure. I would assume alt1 and alt2. How would I determine the names?

Chuck S August 28th, 2010 06:43 PM

You can view your page source on the forum and see the names. alt1 and alt2 are old vb3 style classes which where deprecated in vb4.

idslamyou August 28th, 2010 10:40 PM

I viewed the source but I can't decipher what the alternating color class call names are. The url is 805forums.com/forums or 805forums.com/reviews

EDIT: I think I figured it out. I added a couple new css definitions to the additional.css template called reviewpost and reviewpost1 and then changed all the alt1 classes.

Now for the second question:
I setup extra field for a website url, but don't want it to be a required field. Is there a way to make the extra field optional when submitting an ad? It won't let the user submit the ad unless all the extra profile fields are filled in.

Since the templates seem to be setup for Vb3 still. Is there anyway you can tell me what the VB4 css should be for the following vb3 classes:

panelsurround
tcat
alt1

I've spent a couple of hours on it, but the formatting is still off a little. title - 805 Restaurant and Business Reviews

Another problem is where did or are the ratings supposed to be? I see the box for the rating results, but I don't see where the customer can actually rate the product.

There is no real vb4 alternating colors as stated so you must be using a custom theme. If there is no standard in theme making it will be very hard to match themes just my opinion there. vb3 had uniform style declarations whereas vb4 may or may not. I know when I wrote integrations with vb4 there was no custom themes yet just the default theme which is shown below

To not have extra fields required which most customers want you need to edit your uploadproduct templates and say remove this code

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.
As far as styles I am style looking at the default style to see what scheme change I can come up with.

Thanks for all your help. I think I have the design almost complete. But for the life of me I can't get the spacing right. If you go to this link, title - 805 Restaurant and Business Reviews , all of the text is right next to the cells border. How do I get some cellpadding or cellspacing in there? I've tried hardcoding it to the table tag and I've also tried via css, but nothing is working. Here is the css I'm using:

.reviewpost6 {
color: #EAEEDF;
background-color: #EAEEDF;
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 40px 60px

And how to members rate the product? I don't see anywhere they can do this.

Look at the blockrow class in vb4 and you will get ideas on how it does spacing

Perfect. Thank you.
I added padding:{vb:stylevar blockrow_padding}; to the css and it worked perfect.

One last question, I want to create a bigger icon for the "post review" button. From what I can tell in the code it is:
Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.
How would I specify an image for the button or what is the url?

Chuck S August 29th, 2010 06:00 PM

Maybe replacing the input submit with maybe this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.
