How To Change New Topic Colour

Rowan06

I just installed a mod and now when theres a new post made somewhere, when your on the mainpage instead of it just telling you who posted it and the date, it now tells you who, were and the date. Heres a preview of it:

Does anyone know how I can change the topic colour on that from white to yellow? So its looks like Topic-Yellow, Poster-White, Date-White?

Thanks alot 🙂

Id'e think this question would be best asked in a phpbb help forum.

Rowan06

Sounds more like a CSS question...

Rowan06

Sorry if this is in the wrong part I just thought all these editing problems were code related.

Any ideas if its the CSS which line im looking for if i open say my subblack.css file

vaaaska

Huh? You really think we will know that?

Yes, in that file...edit something...

Sounds like you're too lazy to read through the output source. Well, here's an alternate solution.

Install latest Firefox and download this extension:

PRESS CTRL+SHIFT+Y
HOVER your mouse over the element you wish to change color.
You will see the element name in the status bar of your browser.
EDIT that in the CSS File.

Hope that's not too much work 😉

OK I've installed FireFox, got the extension, enabled it, changed mode, hovered over and I got this:

Ive opened my subblack.css file so does that mean I go CTRL+F (find) then put in row2 span gensmall a ???? Or is there a certain way of working this out???

dcav

Yeah, that's basically it. You have to CTRL-F gensmall and make the changes inside that.

You don't need to search for "row2 span gensmall a", just gensmall is enough to locate the "a" element.

Inside of the brackets, just change the "color" property.

If you don't want to make changes to subblack.css. You can include another css file below the declaration of the subblack.css and insert the a.gensmall yourself. Which will override in real-time only.

Or you could just add <style>a.gensmall { color: #whateverColor }</style> just before </head>

Rowan06

Yeh but thats the section I changed before and it changed every link on my forum, I only wanted the Topic Colour changed

dcav

Oh, then you would need to assign a <span class="yourCustomClass">$daTopic</span> in the forum core files.

Hmm, once again really sorry for all this bother but im a complete newbie to this. See to make it easy. Could you tell me which file to open, what code to put in, and were about roughly i should put the code so that on the main forum page were i installed the Topic mod so it shows the topics replied in aswell as username.

This would help me out alot, or even instead of the colour, just make them underlined
