CSS Issue, How To Rename.

[rdavis]

Hello,

I have integrated your incredibly awesome gallery inside of my website, but am having some interfering CSS problems. I was wondering, where can I change the names for the default CSS styles that Coppermine is using. For example, the "statlink" CSS style for the breadcrumb menu, if I wanted to change it from "statlink" to "breadcrumb_menu" and then update my CSS accordingly in my custom template folder, how would I do this? Is there a safe way to do it so that when I upgrade I will not loose everything; as in all my styling. I have a feeling that it is something in the core Coppermine folders (like the theme.php file in the includes folder) is where I would have to make the change.

Please let me now what the best method of doing this is and how I can do it.

Thanks for any help!

So does anyone know how to change the default css variables that coppermine uses to something else? I need to get my template displaying correectly and can't because of css conflicts.

Please, any help is greatly appricated.

You shouldn't need to change anything in the core; just make the CSS selectors in the custom theme more specific.

A theme folder contains all the styling and files needed to display CPG the way you want. When you upgrade, you DO NOT overwrite this folder which means you won't lose any styling. If you change a style in the css file but it doesn't seem to change anything when looking at your gallery, you probably haven't included the code in your theme.php file. If the code for an area you wish to change isn't in your theme.php file then it reads it from the core code which won't have your changes.

Basically it's easier to just change the css "property" instead of the "selector" so this way it will work as expected with little code changes. The other option is to rewrite the css selector but then you have to include all the changed code in your theme.php file which involves more work.
