Topic: Text in blog comments.

[Ken (OP)]

As mentioned by Steve we have a problem with text and bg colors in the blog, because both are white in the Christmas theme. The problem also exists (just not as bad) in all other themes except for the Curve.

I posted on PortaMx to see what edits to make, but Feline is telling me that it's an issue with the theme and not the blog... that sounds strange to me if more than one theme is doing it.
But anyways, I'm gonna try to get her to help me sort this out, but knowing how she is and that she is not liking me to well this may not turn out so good.  :thud:

The topic = http://portamx.com/index.php/topic,1366.0.html

In her reply she has me looking for code that is not in the theme file:

That is a theme problem ..

Look at the theme /css/index.css
Find:

Code: [Select]

.description, .plainbox {
-moz-background-clip:border;
-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
-moz-background-origin:padding;
background:#361A0F url(../images/custom/titlebg.png) repeat-x scroll 0 0;
border:1px solid #CFCFCF;
color:white;
font-size:0.9em;
line-height:1.4em;
margin:0 0 1em;
padding:0.5em 1em 1em;
}
and change the color to black (#000000) or what you want.

just looked at this with firebug

So I opened up the .css and found this--  color: white; looks thats the bit to change to black

try to find this in index.css

Code: [Select]

/* a descriptive style */
.description, .plainbox
{
padding: 0.5em 1em 1em 1em;
font-size: 0.9em;
line-height: 1.4em;
border: solid 1px #cfcfcf;
background: #361A0F url(../images/custom/titlebg.png) repeat-x 0 0;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;
color: white;

This is the closest that I can find:

Code: [Select]

/* a descriptive style */
.description, .plainbox
{
padding: 0.5em 1em 1em 1em;
font-size: 0.9em;
line-height: 1.4em;
border: solid 1px #cfcfcf;
background: #361A0F url(../images/custom/titlebg.png) repeat-x 0 0;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;
color: white;
}

That looks nice Ken, built-in light scribe too riteon you hoping for that for Xmas gift :beg:

[Ken (OP)]

Using it now!  :bigteeth:



Spent the past hour or so getting it all setup.

[Skhilled]

Cool!

I doubt if Feline will be much help. She has never fixed her Felblog and keeps blaming all of the problems on SMF, TP, themes, or another mod even when no other mods are installed. LOL

[Lesmond]

did you try to change the css file ken?

[Lesmond]

Using it now!  :bigteeth:

Oh kool you got it now, bet ya do have a :bigteeth: on your face now

[Ken (OP)]

Well there's good news from the blog front... antechinus is going to take a look at the PMX css to see why it's overriding the plainbox css for the themes.  :2thumbs:

[Skhilled]

He can probably fix it.

I went ahead and fixed the index.css files in the Christmas theme and the SilentWave theme because Feline jumped into the topic saying the the issue was with the themes and not her blog files... to me that's a bunch of crap because the blog should be able to use the values from whatever theme it's in.

But I'm no coder, so maybe I'm being a dumb ass about the issue.

He can probably fix it.

That would be nice, we'll see how it works out.  :08:

[Skhilled]

She is lucky to have the support team that she does or PortaMx would fail like Felblog.

[Ken (OP)]

Yepp... she has always been so hard headed about stuff. She seems not to care when her code is in conflict with some other mod or program, she just gets pissed when someone posts an issue and blames it off on something-anything other than her code.

It has always been mho that FelBlog and now this PMX Blog have the potential to be THE very best blog for anyone who has an SMF forum, but Feline makes it really hard to use because of her pissy attitude.
