Issue: Whacked css need HELP

I fixed the alignment. When it comes to colors and such, I highly recommend using Mozilla Firefox to work on your CSS. It will save you a LOT of hours and headaches.

1. Simply by right-clicking an element on the page and clicking "Inspect Element" pops up a window that shows you all the styles on the element and how they are working together.

2. You can then mess with the CSS in the window until it looks right.

3. Do a search in your templates for the CSS class you modified.

4. Make the changes to match what you did in Firefox.

If you look at this page logged in using the light color theme http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwik...l:Specialpages you can see that the top captions above Maintenance reports are still white on white... and you can't see them...I'm really lost peg.

You mean use the FF browser? I use IE8 not FF but I will dl it and install. I will start on the php files after... remember peg I an challenged when it come to this stuff. I would like to know how this persons boxes are rounded? http://www.vaultwiki.org/threads/4473/#post11311

Ok I will relax and see what I can do.

The Firefox tool I mentioned really makes working with styles more like a dream. While you should continue to use IE8 for browsing if that's what you're used to, you should really use FF for designing.

vBulletin 4 makes more use of rounded corners, so I would expect that person is using vBulletin 4.

FF helped allot.... thanks Peg for letting me know about that, though it didn't help he with the wiki style code because I have no CSS knowledge BUT.......... It HELPED me with some other issues.... i also use Dreamweaver8.....so....After a migraine, burning eyes... no sleep woke up with a headache......and I'm so late for work today, I may as well not go in.... I have managed to sort out all CSS issues through the vbulletin styles..... which many wiki colors feed off of (I wish they didn't??????) .... except for one line color on my RED Egyptian theme bottom border.... it feeds of of (table border) which MUST remain tan on the forum but I need to make it RED on the wiki and this line feeds off of table border....... see here



and a red border around the popup



Is there anything I can do in the wiki style CSS to force that red? If so, be specific.

After this I can get to the dreaded php edits

http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwiki.php


Oh yes I also need the fix for this... notice how some boxes have only one line break between the words YET other have 2 line breaks??? I have 2, it need to look the same as the left boxes... I highlight the space on the right with my mouse.... it also does this on my lamp site and looks like crap. I noticed other don't have this??? How can it be fixed. Thanks Teddy.

The only things you can adjust are:
Force the popup border to be red:
The line breaks involve a bug in Internet Explorer where it wraps white-space. In order to prevent the double-line for boxes where the first line is longer than the second line, you would have to remove all the white-space between the SPAN tags in template special_search_namespacebit.

ahhh thank you so much I will get to that now.

I have 2 questions and one bug issue.

Question: 1. What does IE do that... it looks awful. Rounded edges I can live without... but xtra line break drive me crazy. So glad you told me about FF, it helps.

http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwik...cial:Imagelist

... and 2.) Is there anyway I can change this (file desc text color, left column on Imagelist page... on my black theme only) to white through 'wiki' css....... I need the white on vbulletin because the theme is black... I have tried a number of vbulletin combos... and then my black theme does not look right... the Imagelist page seems to feed off of the vbulletin Table Border which must remain that way on the forum.... though I removed all the white text colors on Table vbulletin CSS and left them blank, it still leaves my vbulletin white as it must be...... just not on the Imagelist page... GRRRRRR

EDIT this did not work... however I tried this and it worked great.

Try:
You may have to do the same for hovers, etc I'm not sure.

Ummm, what box and where in said box should I try that?

You could try adding it to template vw-links or you could add it to the additional CSS box in the Style Manager.

I think that worked peg, I added it to the bottom of the vw.links... I am looking and it appears to have worked great, everywhere including my main page box links so I will make the background blue there a bit darker.... that's all.

On my black theme in any regular wiki page the black line under the the caption of the wiki like here http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwik...in&redirect=no

black line is not there like on the other 2 themes, I need to get the black line back please
+++++++

Now for a REAL BUG ...... whenever I edit my own posted wiki there is no problem BUT when I edit anyone else wiki, the bottom right box where is says, last edited by... is missing my name or the editors name... see? You can see it at the bottom of the Page above I posted...... AND it does not show the new edit date of today, at 10:00 p.m.

In template vw-title.css you have too many zeros in the border-bottom on the titleBox.

As for the REAL bug, the editor is not updated when a user makes a "minor" edit. Since you have not made non-minor edits on that page since you upgraded from 2.5.x, I believe this was a bug with 2.5.x that was fixed with the changes to the system made in 3. Unfortunately, the last edit info will continue to be broken until someone makes a REAL edit.

I didn't realize there was an extra zero in there... that fixed it.
++++

Well there is something wrong with the Last edited by , and date... I made major edits last night to numerous wikis' done by others and the Last Edited By, name and date does not work.............. however if I edit one of my own wikis' it works fine.

See examples... (even the old wrong date of the wikis I edited are missing the edited by NAME is BLANK

This is my wiki and my edit, it works fine as all my own wikis and edits work fine http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwik...i=Austin+J+App

Missing name last edited and wrong date http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwik...r+Incorporated
Missing name last edited and wrong date http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwik...i=Bugsy+Siegel
Missing name last edited and wrong date http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwiki.php?jiki=Yiddish
Missing name last edited and wrong date http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwik...+Anti-Semitism
Missing name last edited and wrong date http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwik...strial+Complex
Missing name last edited and wrong date http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwiki.php?jiki=Pakistan


Even old wikis that were posted by someone else and edited by me 2 days ago or 6 months ago...... are wrong.... they all show the SAME OLD edited date of 5/29/2010..... and MISSING the Edited by name....all of them. This is not a coincidence. There is something wrong.

Example for this revision: Trailing this particular wiki posted by a member, then edited by me

It is showing the correct revision here (name & date correct) http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwik...espace=Default

.... to the History page (correct) http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwik...34&oldid2=2963

DIFF & HIST (name & date correct) .........BUT when you go to the actual revised wiki page (name & date incorrect) at the bottom, see here http://theforbiddentruth.net/showwik...he+Jewish+Tool

saying last edited by WITH NO NAME and the incorrect date of 5/29/.2010

All of the pages you listed have only had minor edits in the past 6 months... so yes, it's not a coincidence. You can check the History tab on any of the pages and you will see. This is consistent with what I described in my post above. I am confident that the next non-minor edit will fix any of these pages.

Even if that were true the NAME of the editor of this minor revision on someone else's wiki was NEVER BLANK before the upgrade.

OK I see something changed during the upgrade and I now have to reedit almost 400 wikis that checked of minor revision prior to the upgrade, and edit ...... NOT checking off minor update........ to get the correct date and the editors name to show up.
