HELP - stylesheet all screwed up or I'm total moron

zebraplayer · January 26, 2005, 06:28:50 AM

Hey everyone,

I am trying to make the Subsiver template match my phpbb modified subSilver template. Everything is going great except for the link on tableh2. Take a look here.

The a:link is showing up white when never clicked. when you hover it it shows as blue and once you have visited it shows as orange. The problem is I have a:link set to appear as orange. I am going nuts trying to figure out what I'm missing here.

I have searched the whole stylesheet for FFFFFF, but nothing shows up that could possibly be causing (I think) those links to be appearing white.

HELP PLEASE!!!!

-Louis

PS: .alblink is set as follows:

Code Select

.alblink {
    font-weight : bold;
    font-size : 12px;
    color : #EC8212;
}
.alblink a {
    text-decoration : none;
    color : #EC8212;
}
.alblink a:link {
    text-decoration : none;
    color : #EC8212;
}
.alblink a:hover {
    text-decoration : underline;
    color : #7289CD;
}

and .tableh2

Code Select

.tableh2_compact {
    background : #D7E1FA;
    color : #EC8212;
    padding-top : 2px;
    padding-right : 5px;
    padding-bottom : 2px;
    padding-left : 5px;
}

Thanks

you have multiple body statements in your css

Code Select


body { 
scrollbar-face-color: #dee3e7; scrollbar-highlight-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-shadow-color: #dee3e7; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #d1d7dc; scrollbar-arrow-color: #ec8212; scrollbar-track-color: #efefef; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #98aab1; background-color: #ec8212 
} 
body { 
padding-top: 5px; background-color: #ec8212 
}

Put padding-top:5px; in the first css block dump the second.

you also have mutliple a:link's

Code Select


a:link { 
color: #ec8212 
} 

a:link { 
color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none 
}

delete the second one, it's later down in the file.

The formatting of your css will differ because I wasn't reading the file directly.

Then re-evaluate where you are.

you also don't have a .alblink a:visited specified; you might want to do that.

zebraplayer · January 26, 2005, 02:48:07 PM

Donoman,

I made the corrections as you suggested, except for the second a:link you mention. Are you refering to the one .statlink

Code Select

.statlink a:visited , a:link {
    color : #FFFFFF;
    text-decoration : none;
}

That is the only place I can find an a:link folowed by "color : #FFFFFF

Anyway, this thing is still not working.

zip up your modified template directory and attach it to a post, I'll take a look at it.

zebraplayer · January 28, 2005, 12:22:19 AM

Oh, man. I really appreciate that.

Theme folder attached (sans theme's image folder).

whatever editor you used trashed the template.html

Code Select


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML dir={LANG_DIR}><HEAD><TITLE>{TITLE}</TITLE>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<META http-equiv=Pragma content=no-cache>
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1106" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY>{META} <LINK href="themes/subsilver/style.css" rel=stylesheet>
<SCRIPT src="scripts.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<!--
$Id: template.html,v 1.1 2005/01/11 05:55:46 Administrator Exp $
-->
<TABLE height="100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=10 width="100%" bgColor=#cccccc 
border=0>

Notice that {META} was moved outside of the head block as well as the stylesheet link and script.js.
Coppermine's Charset token was also stripped out as well.

this is the original:

Code Select


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html dir="{LANG_DIR}">
<head>
<title>{TITLE}</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={CHARSET}" />
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
{META}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/subsilver/style.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts.js"></script>
<!--
$Id: template.html,v 1.1 2005/01/11 05:55:46 Administrator Exp $
-->
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">

css validation problems

Quote

# Line: 19

Parse error - Unrecognized : }
# Line: 52 Context : h2

Property font-color doesn't exist : 0
# Line: 306 Context : .navmenu a:hover

Invalid number : color0 is not a color value : 0

ie:

Code Select

font-color : 000000;

should be:

Code Select

color : #000000;

adding .alblink b to the css turned out to be the magic.

fix your template.html and style.css

then replace all of the alblink section with this section:

Code Select


.alblink {
    font-weight : bold;
    font-size : 12px;
    color : #EC8212;
}
.alblink a, .alblink b, .alblink a:visited, .alblink a:link  {
    text-decoration : none;
    color : #EC8212;
}
.alblink a:hover {
    text-decoration : underline;
    color : #7289CD;
}

That did it. Thanks, man. I would have never figured that out on my own.

I used Sothink to edit the template. I thought that, unlike FrontPage, it would not change things on its own. I would use just WordPad, but sometimes I need something that shows line numbers. I guess I gotta keep searching for an editor with line numbers which doesn't do its own thing.

One more thing, now that my alblink is fixed, I have only one remainig issue with my template. The header on the thumbnails view shows the name of the album in white. Because I wanted that row to be a different color than the one above it, I went into theme.php and renamed it to tableh3. I then added that style into the css file with the font color set to orange (EC8212). However, it wasn't doing the trick. I then opened the page in IE and looked at the source code to see what style was getting its color from. If I'm not mistaken, I think it's using H2. However, H2 is set to #000000. Any ideas on why it's still showing up white?

Thanks again.

Please disregard last question. I guess the template uses statlink before it uses H2. I changed that to #000000 and it worked like a charm. Hopefully this won't affect anything else. If so, I'll dill with it in due time.

Thanks again, Donnoman, for all your help.

This is the editor I use, it's open source and very powerful.

You can do most everything in the default configuration.

It includes php and html highlighting, command completion, and block indenting and de-indent, line numbers, and regex search / replace, as well as directory text searching.

tswebeditor + winmerge handle most of what I do with Coppermine.
