Changing back ground colors in the modules

Ok, so Big kudos to all the folks that build templates for the dolphin!

I have been fro almost two weeks strait redoing my site, with graphics and colors.(who would think there would be that many pages)

But I have hit a brick wall! in place's like profiles and dash board, etc. I cant change the text or back ground color for the entire page. the modules like wall, or groups or polls that the members use on there is different. When using the ff bug, it changes just that profile alone, (I wasnt prepared for that,LOL) So can any one point me in the right direction to change the color (or) the text for the modules, so that they show up on these pages.

I used a dark color and the text isn't showing up. ( I should of known better) Its almost finished, except for that part of the script!

Thanks,

Derrick

Advice-use a lighter color back ground graphic!

Each of the modules have their own template directory as well.

modules/boonex/templates

You work with those the same way as the standard dolphin templates.

The forums are are a bit different, but maybe now that boonex is updating the forums, perhaps that will change.

Thanks Deano!

I have looked in most of those files, and did the search in here found a lot of usefull help, but not quite what I needed.

could you take me one step further?

Say the wall on the profile ( the real biggie) the text for the profile id and when it was done is gray, well so is my template.(bad idea)

and furthur help would be great!

I keep looking into all the module files, and I seem to pass it over some how!

Thanks

How you do it depends of how you did your normal template.

If you copied uni and named it tmpl_mytemplate in the templates directory, then you do the same thing in the modules template directory.

Some of modules do not have a css directory in the uni folder. In cases like that you create a css folder, then create a css file that imports the css files from base. In the case of the wall module, which i did not have to do in my black template. You would create a copy of tmpl_uni and name it tmpl_mytemplate, in there create a css folder, then create 2 css files to import the ones from base.

post.css and view.css

In post.css start with the top line as @import url(../../base/css/post.css);

And in view put in @import url(../../base/css/view.css);


Now you can insert your needed css under that to over ride the colors.

If you did not create a separate template directory for your new template and your just modifying the uni template, then you do the same in the module. For those that do not have a CSS folder, do the same thing, create one and add imports from the base.

Thanks!

That gives me a lot to think about and a direction to go towards!
