Creating my own Forum

[William Robhe]

I just started with css coding. And I started to create this:
http://www.key2heaven.net/forum/index.php

But I need some help on a certain things that I cant seem to color. Lke the login (username and password) on the bottom of the screen. You see the white border around it.

And also the text on the windows buttons (there is 2 buttons that says Log In with white text) I want black on it.

So either write here, contact me on my new forum or add me on MSN:
johansson_tk@hotmail.com

Any help is good. Thank you :) PS. if this is the wrong board, then sorry. Im new on this forum.

Hi William,

Ok, that should be a simple task:
The input fields with the white border have the class post, but if there should be another input on the page that has the same class we will go for security and make it more specific.
So you should write this in the CSS:

.forumline .post {border-color: #XXXXXX;}


Insert a hexadecimal value for the six "X" or write a color name like "black" or "silver", etc.

As for the text on the log in buttons I don't see any white text on these two buttons (you mean those submit buttons, right?), they have black text on it...

I managed to fix the buttons. Its a dark brown color :)

Thank you, so I just insert that code in the .css file?

Do you mind if I send you the .css file so we can go though a few other things?

Do you know know if its legal to edit a template?

How do I change the font color that is blue on the forum?

Did you buy the template? Most of the time if you bought it you can edit it. That blue color is coming from your links. Its defined here
ANCHOR
*/
a, a:link, a:active, a:visited { text-decoration: none; color : #445588; }
a:hover { text-decoration: none; color : #224466; }

/*

I didnt buy it, it was a free template to use. And thanks, you guys seem to know this very well. I guess I stick around on this forum. Because I believe I will have a lot more trouble going forwards.

Check my new forum again (updated):

Also need help with one last things. How do I set the color on the left and right side of the forum. I want a lighter color there so it isnt just so brown.
And also, the part on the bottom that says credits to Ray, how do I say also: "Thanks to Ray for this great template. Edited by William."

Look for this
/*
TEXT
*/
body { scrollbar-face-color: #DEE3E7; scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-shadow-color: #DEE3E7; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #D1D7DC; scrollbar-arrow-color: #B2C3D8; scrollbar-track-color: #EFEFEF; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #98AAB1; margin: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: 917A59; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px}
You can change the background-color there to a lighter color but you will now need to add a background color to your table. Something like this would work
table {
background:#999;
}
change to fit your needs. As for the footer. I don't know your file names but look for a file called overall_footer.tpl.
