Hi, I just installed the randomqoute module, put in some qoutes and made the block visible. but when i viewed it on the page the text was white on a whit background so the text didnt show up, but it was there because I could select it.

Anyway I went blocks admin and clicked edit template for that block and found the following code


So in order to get the text to show up as black i changed it to the following


Ithen clicked view and it came up as it should black text and authors name in darkgrey.

I then went to preferences and updated the html templates thing but back on the homepage the text is still white and the template code hadnt changed, so I changed teh actual html file and uploaded it into the randomquotes directory, but still no change.

I think my html code is correct so im not sure whats going wrong, anybody got any ideas?

Also in blocks admin.edit template there is no submit button only a view button..this was my first time at editing a template, is this right? how do you submit the changed template code?

ANy help would be great thanks.

It's really not good practice to update any type of color within a template. This is one of my biggest beefs with a lot of module developers. ALL colors should be modified via the CSS file. Your key is the class="xoopsQuote". Find this in your CSS file, and you'll find the errant color code.

Ah, I never even thought to look in the CSS, thanks very much, I will remmebr this for next time a similar problem occurs.

Thanks again
