Hi everyone, i hope you are all doing well,

working on integrating CMSMS to a new site,

i added the form builder contact form, but i need to be able to style it to my liking same for the search template, they both appear with default styling,

i'd like to go in and add my own classes and id hooks to then apply my styles to both the contact form and the search or any other module for that insatnce

i want to know where do i find the files to do the changes

thanks for taking the time to read this,

cheers

Look "Extensions" -> "Search" and you will find search templates there.

On Form builder you should find form template on your Contact. Form builder does allready have plenty of classes, ID's so just editing your styles can get you very far.

Hi pab ,

First of all it is best if you put

{cms_module module='FormBuilder' form='name_of_your_form'}

around it and than style it in CSS as ...

.name_here input, .name_here textarea, .name_here select {
 color:#color_you_wish;
}

Hope this will work .... I still had to do a lot of modifications to my FormBuilder css since I had LOT
of issues with displaying forms in different browsers ...
Let me know how it goes ...
