please guys .. its important.. everything is invisible in my forum..

thanks mchauhan

Orca has its own template system so you will need to make the css changes there.

You can find the css at /modules/boonex/forum/layout/base/...

Make your template changes there.

i have been trying in modules/boonex/forum/layout/base/... using firebug but no luck.

i ahve tried main.css, common.css, general.css aswell. but cant find using firebug.

anymore suggestions please ?

regards

Opps.. forgot, when you create the forum it creates a new folder called base_en inside the layout.  Modify the css in the base_en not base.

tried in base_en. i have still had no luck. may be i am gone blind or something. could you please tell me where should i be looking at ?

thankyou very much

mchauhan

any suggestions please ?

mchauhan

right. i am stuck at the same place again.

i had a file written how to do it. but cant find it now...

anyone knows  how to change the background colour of forum ??

regards

mchauhan

bump!!!!

The boxes in the forum it is templates/base/css/common.css like it says at your firebug

sample I just changed the box header color to red:

do you know the one for white area just underneath the area you turned red ??

cheers

and don't forget to clear your cache in your admin after you made changes to the css files

i have been looking for the file for an hour . but no luck.

can you tell me which file to edit ??

thanks

You mean to clear the cache or the common.css file to edit the color and text font?

to clear your cache you go to:

http://yourdomain.com/administration/

at the Dashboard you see

This is where you clear the cache

seems like it is bullying yo. coz that didnt work.

It worked on my site after I clear the cache

I will give you a photo, wait

/templates/base/css/common.c

in common.css on line 264

.boxContent {
overflow: hidden;
font-size: 11px;
padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
background-color: #ff0000; (line 264)
}

You see, no one is bully me cos I go after them and strip 'em down of their soul! :-)

And never forget to make a back-up of the file/ files you are working on

That doesn't work, nor has it ever. To clear your cache, you must empty the /cache/ and /cache_public/ directories, leaving the .htaccess file in the former directory intact.

not working for me. dnt know why ....

LoL,

I just cleared the cache a few times and I checked in my folders. It worked, even though may be only partly.

If I do something on my site and clear the cache at my dashboard I see the result on my site.

Anyway, I will check how it is on other computers :-)

Thanks :-)

Did you try Magnussoft clear cache To clear your cache, you must empty the /cache/ and /cache_public/ directories, leaving the .htaccess file in the former directory intact.

How do you edit those files?

i edit through cpanel.
