Orca Issues

Guys,

Just in the process of migrating my site to Dolphin 7, have a couple of issues, can anyone help?

1: I dont seem to be able to remove posts from the forums, there dont seem to be any controls to delete individual posts, am I missing something?

2: Forums posts are posted in white, on a white background which means you can't see them, does anyone know where to change the colour in the CSS files?

Thanks Guys.

oneroom,

you should be able to remove posts as admin when logged in as adminstrator to the site. and then on modules and orca forum this will give you the ability to manage the forum. so yes you are missing something there.

as for the white/white that is a style sheet change and you need to most likely find the main.css or common.css and look for the block that controls the font color the orca template is in the orca templates folder not your standard site folder.

Hey Dowdawg,

Thanks, I'm using a custom template which could explain why the buttons to manage the forum are missing, as for the CSS, can you point me to the section which I need to edit, I can't seem to find it.

Thanks

Orca font color is inherited from the body tag - in D7 this is normally set in templates/base/css/common.css it is probably being overriden by your template, but this could be anywhere.

You could try adding the important tag to the base css file to see if it forces it to keep the value.

in above file, find the following line

body {
font-family:Verdana,Arial;
font-size:11px;
color:#333333;
background-color:#ffffff;
margin:0px;
padding:0 0 50px 0;
}

Change the line to

color:#333333 !important;

Another temporary solution is to disable style sheets in your browser. This will render the page with default browser values.

OK, made a change to the file and can now see some more things I couldn't before, so when I type a post in to the forum I can see it now, however once its been posted, and someone comes back to read it, you can't see it.

If I manually change the colour before posting it works fine, how do I change the orca default font colour?
