Getting the Font to mach the rest of my site!!!

xrayhead · May 17th, 2004, 03:28 PM

Hi

Anyone know how I can change the font in the Review to match the rest of my site?

IE, when someone creates a new review it has standard Times Roman font but when people reply to the new review the font matches the rest of my site!!!

This looks really unprofessional and I would love to change it.

Thanks

Sorry the above post is incorrect. The font I want to change is the one circled in red as it dose not match the font of my site and the review.

Simple CSS

Alter your CSS stylesheet to use the font in photopost the same font you use on your site. The specific class there is either tddetails or alternatetable. However they only use a color definition. Therefore the font size etc is pulled from the onbody tag. The onbody tag does not have a specific font specified therefore the specific font used throughout most of the classes that do not have specific fonts used fall back to the body tag

BODY,P,TABLE,TD,TR {
font-size: 9pt;
color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Hense you see the font-family used. If your simply trying to change the font size you can place a font size variable in both tddetails and alternatetable or change the onbody font size.

I still can’t get this to work.

This is the font I want to use

FONT 

I tried changing all the style sheets but it makes no difference.

Any ideas?

Lee

PS, I also just did a find and replace to ALL fonts down to 6pt and the font in the reply main window SILL did not change!!
Is the reviews software pulling the font from somewhere else?

If you simply looked at the html for the page and checked the style tag surrounding your text, you'd quickly see that style tag being used. Since this can be different for each integration, you'll need to check it for yours.

If I was simply a web developer I would have not asked the question!
I am a voice programmer by trade (meridian PBX and Unix stuff) so you will have to bare with me please.

Ok, There are 3 in the stylesheets DIR.
I have tried changing all of these, and still no changes.

PS. Is this post in a public area of the forum or members only?

Your missing the point though XRAY

All we can do is point you in the right direction.

In a normal Photopost Integration what I said would work since that cell uses the medium and tddetail classes both of which do not specify an actual font type. The font type defaults to the body font type which is what I posted.

However if your using 4.8 and using some sort of style integration this can be different and will coincide with your specific tag that it uses in each style type. As Michael posted only you are going to know this. You can look right at the source of your page and find the span tag that surrounds the comment.

Well everyone has been telling you to look at your source code of the page.

Your using VB2 so there is no style integration with your board so my answer is as I posted 6 weeks ago. Since your using reviewpost stylesheets the comments use the medium class which does not have a font class statement only a size which means it falls back on the body class.

This is what is in the stylesheet for the medium tag which is same family type you want.

.medium {
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Why not simple edit the showproduct.tmpl and edit line the line that is like this

 {$reviewtext[$x]}

to this

 {$reviewtext[$x]}
