Hello, one thing that I am working on in my theme is the fact that virtually none of the styles that I have defined in my theme.html (and covered in my style.css) are taking effect.

For example, my left column code from theme.html is:

----------------
<td id="leftcolumn">
<!-- Start left blocks loop -->
<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_lblocks}>
<{include file="cbone/theme_blockleft.html"}>
<{/foreach}>
<!-- End left blocks loop -->
</td>
----------------
And my relevant style.css section is:

td#leftcolumn {width: 205px; font-size:11px; background-color: #E4E4E4; color: #9F9F9F; padding:10px; vertical-align: top;}
td#leftcolumn th {background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #F98B41; vertical-align: middle;}
td#leftcolumn div.blockTitle {padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #F98B41; font-weight: bold;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;}
td#leftcolumn div.blockContent {padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; line-height: 120%;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;background-color: #FFFFFF;}
-------------------
However, I get a basic html page, with text and a white background. No colours, no nothing.

Any ideas? I am sure it is something simple.

Oh, and my style.css is uploaded, as is my other pages.

theme_blockleft.html obviously is online and working, otherwise I would get no content from the db as to user menus, etc.

It should be working as you've described. Make sure that "cbone" is the theme (directory name) that you are working on.

<{include file="cbone/theme_blockleft.html"}>

The file must be in the right place.

[edit] if you are using the default mainmenu. td#mainmenu should be the place to make changes. [/edit]

Yes, I have the theme within a directory called cbone, and I also have mainmenu set in my CSS as well:

---------------
td#mainmenu a {background-color: #F7F7F7; display: block; margin: 0; padding: 4px;}
td#mainmenu a:hover {background-color: #9EBFD0;}
td#mainmenu a.menuTop {padding-left: 3px;}
td#mainmenu a.menuMain {padding-left: 3px;}
td#mainmenu a.menuSub {padding-left: 9px; }
---------------

Hrm, I will keep looking!

can you give us a link ?

would be very helpful to see, perhaps error is on different place ?

Sure, just had to turn the site back on...

http://www.paintballandstuff.net

look at the [rendered] source ...
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="../technicolor/%3C%7B$xoops_url%7D%3E/xoops.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="../technicolor/%3C%7B$xoops_themecss%7D%3E" />

...
what tool do you use ? frontpage ?
path to css isn't correct...


michael

Ahhh, you are amazing. I used a previous theme and forgot to make some changes.

Is there a db name I can use for the path, or should it be specific to my theme?

perhaps add manual...[hm..handish?]

michael

and,.. of course you can use...

<{$xoops_imageurl}>style.css

edit: to get path to actual theme....



michael

Thank you sir!

I can now fiddle around and actually try and make it look decent!
