CMS Made Simple Forums

i'm working on changing some stuff on www.vividedgemedia.com. I'm pretty new to this script.

i want to change the color of the yellow boxes that appear next to "company overview" and "news" on the main page. how do i do this?

also, am i missing some stylesheets? the docs on this site say i should have:

    *  Layout -- Here you set general layout settings, that are the same for all the default CMSMS templates. But for each project you work on this stylesheet needs to be customized.
    * Typography -- This is where you do all the styling for fonts, links, headings, images, lists etc.
    * Colours-- All the colors are gathered in this stylesheet. The only properties here are color, background and border-color. Don't add any other properties here or it may affect the layout of your entire site! However, for now the colors of menus are in the menu stylesheets.
    * Forms -- To more easily make forms to look the same across different browsers, the styling for forms is in its own stylesheet. You will not need to touch this very often.
    * Tools -- This is a stylesheet that needs to be attached to all templates for cross-browser behaviour. But you don't really need to touch it at all.

but i only have these:

Accessibility and cross-browser tools Attach Stylesheet to Template Copy Edit Delete
Handheld Attach Stylesheet to Template Copy Edit Delete
Layout: Left sidebar + 1 column Attach Stylesheet to Template Copy Edit Delete
Layout: Top menu + 2 columns Attach Stylesheet to Template Copy Edit Delete
Module: News Attach Stylesheet to Template Copy Edit Delete
Navigation: CSSMenu - Horizontal Attach Stylesheet to Template Copy Edit Delete
Navigation: CSSMenu - Vertical Attach Stylesheet to Template Copy Edit Delete
Navigation: Simple - Horizontal Attach Stylesheet to Template Copy Edit Delete
Navigation: Simple - Vertical Attach Stylesheet to Template Copy Edit Delete
Print

it seems maybe i'm missing some?

The Doc. list of style sheets in a default install need to be updated...

Tools = Accessibility ***.

Layout = Layout: name of template or etc.

Typography = Integrated into Layout:

Colours = integrated into Layout: or in the Navigation: etc.

Forms = It is now part of the Form Builder module, see CSS in the fields, which you can copy and make a new one from.

You have all the default CSS...

For the 'yellow box' it is a border call for the h2 in Layout: Left sidebar ****...

div#content h2 {
color: #000000;
font-size: 1.5em;
text-align: left;
/* some air around the text */
padding-left: 0.5em;
padding-bottom: 1px;
/* set borders around header */
border-bottom: 1px solid #e7ab0b;
border-left: 1.1em solid #e7ab0b;
        line-height: 1.5em;
/* and some air under the border */
        margin: 0 0 0.5em 0;
}

great, thank you so much. is that the same one that will change the yellow box for both HOME on the left side of my site and NEWS in the main page?

also...how can i change the colors of the yellow arrow and > character in the menu?

anybody on this one?

I believe those are graphics, which you'd have to replace. You could copy them to your HD and recolor them with paint.net or some other graphics program.

Have you attached the News stylesheet to your template. If so, it it in there.

Nullig

do you know what images they are? that is, that yellow arrow and the > thing in my menu? it would be relaly great if they were somewhere in the stylesheet.

They are in the menu stylesheet as background images, like:

/* arrow for menuparents */
  background-image: url(images/cms/arrow.gif);

great, thanks so much

one more question...how can i change the color of the ACTIVE menu item on www.vividedgemedia.com, that is, the page you are currently viewing currently shows with background: 18507C. That's what i want to change.

div#menu_vert ul ul li a.activeparent {
  background-position: 1.5em center;
  background-color: transparent;
  color: #18507C;
}

Nullig

ok cool. also, how can i NOT have it show "next page: whatever" at the bottom of each page?

Remove the relational links from your template:

        {* Start relational links *}


{anchor anchor='main' text='^ Top'}

       
            {cms_selflink dir="previous" label="Previous page: "}

            {cms_selflink dir="next"}
       
        {* The label parameter doesn't need to be there if you're using English, but is here to show how it's used if you don't want the English text "Previous page" *}
{* End relational links *}

wow, excellent, got it. another question:

sometimes when i use "paragraph" formatting for a content page, it double spaces, and i can't get it to just single space. how can i change that?

i changed that, and it didn't change the color of the active menu item. might i be doing something wrong, or is there another css setting i need to change?
