[Solved] Template and php page do not agree. How can I fix?

[MWE_001]

The following image is just killing me. I have played with the tpl file and all and no luck. Im attempting to make the grey background appear as the normal Integra2 theme the nice blue, not grey. How would I go about this? I have a couple more mods I need to tweak as well. And Im ok here and there but sometimes tpl just kills me.... <img> and its the easiest part....lol

[found it]

Without seeing the tpl file

either adding the class for the background in the <table> line or the <td> line I think the class is bodyline though not 100% on that...

let me know

Yea, a link to the actual page would help here <img>

[MWE_001]

Well, its quite a few pages actually, I just gave that pic as a broad example.

[Frost]

It's either a section in your css that specifies TD to have a background color of grey or it's just default.

Show me your css file, or you can look for yourself and find the color #7A7A7A and change it to what you want

[MWE_001]

all I reallywant it to do is match the rest of the theme of Integra 2 the nice blue with the pinlines in it. Very good example of, look around this page as you read it.

[Frost]

Yes I know, but what I'm saying the grey area is most likely the color. If it is an image, which I doubt, there is an error in your css.

What I'm proposing is you show your css file here and I will look at it and tell you what to do to get the grey to turn a different color or if you want, make it use the same background as this post does.

Up to you lol

[MWE_001]

MWE_001, just hang your head and quiety say DOH! And my interest is to make it like this post is instead of a color. I need it to look like the rest of the site.

lol, no worries


Try changing this:

[code].forumline     { background-color]

To this:

[code].forumline  {    background-color]

Change 7A7A7A to a lighter color that is similar to the bg you choose (this is because before the image loads, it shows the color first, so this is cosmetically preferred)

Change background.gif to whichever one you want and you're done

Note: there is a possibility this will affect other areas that use the .forumline class. If this is the case we might need to edit your files themselves to add new classes where you need them

Let me know <img>

[MWE_001]

I all but pursued that avenue in the css before and opted out of it as I wish not to affect my iste at all. Just a few specific pages such as the example shown. Most of my mods are fine as is. It is just a select few that are bothering me.

[Frost]

Then just make your own class for that page, open the tpl file of the page in question, find the area in question, (in your case being class="forumline") and change it to class="forumline2"

Then in your css, add this

[code].forumline2  {    background-color]

That way it only effects that one page, then if you find another one, you can set it like the other by just opening the tpl file and changing the class to forumline2 again...

That easy <img>

[MWE_001]

Nice... I'll have a go at it and see what happens. Now, I have a MAJOR error with my 1.4.1 install that I have to post another topic about and get fixed before i work on this problem. I'll try it tonight and comeback and mark solved if it works for me. Thx a bunch Frost

that would be one way, but I think it should work fine as well if you simply replace the class="forumline" bits with class="bodyline"

I've actually used a FireFox addon that can show the classes used on a website and for sure it is the "forumline" class that's causing it!

Here's how I got to it:

[Frost]

Having trouble finding bodyline? lol

The problem with that is you'd still have to create the css for the class anyway, and I do the method suggested as a way to have control over everything independently.

You can do it any way you wish, that's up to the coder <img>

And yes, I've been using the addon for a while now, couldn't live without it.

Also try: BBComposer, Colorzila, Dom Inspector, Palette Grabber, Firebug, and screengrab

Solved?

[nGAGE]

True... adding the seperate lines does provide more control, but like knowing myself, I'd keep adding and adding and end up with a 500kb .css file <img>
