CSS changes - some help needed!

A request for some help with a bit of CSS if anyone has an idea?

 

I need a couple of things changing on my site in CSS as Im getting some sections with white text on white background etc... !

 

Below is a list of areas I have problems, Ive looked through as many places as I can to try to correct but so far am not getting the right changes... 

 

I do have a template installed and realise that I may have to make changes there also, but at the moment I cant get the help from the template designer so am trying to solve it myself!

 

Based on no template, where would you change the following? 

Then I guess I can just match it in the template to change where needed...

 

Browse.php - background on the members block. 

(edited as fixed the rest!)

 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks - daihlo

If you are not using it, I suggest using the Firebug add on for Mozzila. It will identify where the css of anything is. If you want more help, you will need to post a link, because its difficult to understand what you want.

No, template, with template? Im confused. Just make your changes on the template you are using.

Chances are it in templates/template_your_using/css/

Either general.css, or common.css. Thats a big maybe there.

This sentance says nothing, and its possibly spellt wrong.

Firebug is not too much help.

There are 3-4 different lots of CSS all involved with the members block on Browse page

Looked at all of them and couldnt see any that changed the background color..

Actually firebug is exactly what a professional would use to answer your question. Simply post a link to what ever you need done, and describe the box that you need done. With firebug I can tell you the exact line and file to change.

As can you.

Chances are that your compression is on and its making it too difficult for you to find. Turn that off and post a link.

Background on the MEMBERS box needs changing from white to black.

 

Compression is not on.

Took 3-4 seconds to find with firebug. Takes a few minutes to learn how to use firebug, but it is a valuable tool for finding this stuff. Most template developers here use it.

templates/base/css/browse.css at about line 6

div.search_container {
    padding5px;
}

Add a background color. like so.
div.search_container {
    padding5px;
    background-color: #000000;
}

Now becuse your running a custom template, the proper way to do it is to copy that section into browse.css in your custom templates css folder and then make the change there. You should not directly edit the base css files becuse those may get overwritten when you update dolphin.

Thanks, appreciate your help.

I tried to find it using firebug, thing that was confusing me was it was showing 3-4 different places in the CSS for the section I was looking at. 

Still learning...!

 

Thanks again, really appreciate it.

Hi Deano, I managed to sort the background on the members block thanks to your help.

Been playing with firebug but cant seem to find out where some of the text is in the actual script...

 

The other block Im having problems with is the file info box on the store view product page

Again, its white background, white text..!

 

Any idea where I can change the background on this one?

Appreciate your help, Ive been looking for quite a while but cant find it...!

 

Thanks - Tim

Look in the CSS file entry_view.css

Look for the section .bx_sys_files_line

Look in the CSS for your custom template first

If not there, copy it from the base css file.

Change the background color for that class.
