Geeklog Forums

In 'styles.css' I have set the left and right blocks to different colours. I would now like to change the text colour on the left block, however, everthing I've tried seems to change both of them. Is this possible?
Help appreciated, please.

The best would be here if you gave a link to the site.

Otherwise, let us at least know which theme you are using.

Also, there is a great firefox extension for playing with css and layout. It is called Pederick's Web Developer or something like that.
HIghly recommended!

I'm using 'professional' theme - I have right block pale green/black text - left block is dark green - would like white text. ????

*********
I use Top Style lite (freebie) for css, very good.

C'mon guys.................83 views, and NO advice !!!! Surely someone knows how to do this - or if it's not possible, please tell me !!!!

In layout/professional/leftblocks.thtml change:



to:



See if that gets you what you're after (I haven't tested it though).

AFAIK, Geeklog uses the same styling for both left and right blocks, so you will have to do something like the above to override it.

Hope this helps!

Many thanks Eric, this has worked on all text except links..........is it possible to also change these - just for the keft blocks also ??

You will need to go into the block (login as admin and edit the blocks you have created) and wrap the link like this:



For blocks that are Geeklog default blocks, you will have to find out where the code for those blocks is pulled from (look in lib-common.php) , and do the same thing there as well.

Make sure though in .php files to escape out of " like this: \" so the PHP engine treats the " symbol as html, and not PHP.

The above code might look like this:



Hope this helps!

My sincere thanks for your time and help Eric. This has achievd exactly what I wanted. GL is a severe learning curve for me at the moment, but I'm enjoying it.
