Having problem during checkout
 

So the problem I'm having is that when I'm going threw the checkout process the stuff highlighted in grey is all white and I cannot seem to find exactly how to change these colors so they are visible.

Anyone know how to change these links?

Those links are controled by the fastlane checkout module, which has it's own css file.

look in the skin1 folder for modules, then find the folder that says fast_lane_checkout and open it.

Then find the skin1.css file.

the links are controlled by this code.

A.CheckoutTab:link {
COLOR: #003366;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
TEXT-DECORATION: underline;
}
A.CheckoutTab:visited {
COLOR: #003366;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
TEXT-DECORATION: underline;
}
A.CheckoutTab:hover {
COLOR: #003366;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
A.CheckoutTab:active {
COLOR: #003366;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
TEXT-DECORATION: underline;
}

Hmm changed everything in there to black and nothing seemed to work. Using firebug says that color is from

element.style {
color:#FFFFE0;}

Where would I find this?

Re: Having problem during checkout
 

The text you have highlighted is found at the bottom of skin1/modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout/tabs_menu.tpl, and the color is determined by the class "CheckoutTab" and "CheckoutTabSel" in the skin1.css stylesheet in the same folder.

Did you clear your templates cache in admin?

Re: Having problem during checkout
 

did you make sure you uploaded the skin1.css to the fastlane checkout folder?

How do I clear my templates cache from admin?

And this is the code that is in my skin1.css file in fastlane


But it is still white. Not sure what you mean uploaded I simply changed and saved it. Do I need to download it edit it then upload it for it to take effect?

Hi Gotpump -

Another thing to consider:

Normally - in Firebug - when you see element.style - with no css file named to the right in the style/layout/DOM window - it means that the style is probably in the html. You can override styles in the css file by adding css style directly to an html tag.

When you used firebug to inspect, and saw the element.style - did you see anything in the html window like <td style="color: #ffffe0"> or <font style="color: #ffffe0">? This could be overriding your skin.css styles. If so - you would need to modify the template that has this code.

Re: Having problem during checkout
 

In admin under the "Administration" section, click "summary".
Where it says "In this section", click on Tools.
Towards the bottom of the page you should see a button that says "Clear templates cache".

What did you do to change the file? I mean how did you modify it, what program?

gb2world:


Ok so in the html when I inspect it says




Jwait:

All I used to edit the skin1.css was threw edit templates.

Cleared the cache didn't fix the problem.

Thanks for all your help guys hopefully we can figure out what to do here.

Re: Having problem during checkout
 

well take that style out.

style="color: rgb(255, 255, 224);


Get rid of it.

Re: Having problem during checkout
 

Ok where? I'm sorry I'm pretty new to all forms of code so where can I edit this line? Damn newbies hey? :)

Re: Having problem during checkout
 

Now - use webmaster mode to trace which template it is in.

Re: Having problem during checkout
 

I can just change the color in webmaster mode. I can click and edit the link

: lbl_my_account

This right way to do this?


Seems to have worked. Can't believe I didn't find that on my own jeeez. Anyways I'll just this post tomorrow make sure this is right way to go about it. Thanks so much for all your help.

Re: Having problem during checkout
 

If that worked - you may have had css in your language variables. If you use the WYSIWYG editor on the language variables, this can happen. You probably have to change the other two headers on that page as well. Just remember that you are doing it this way - you are overriding your css style sheet, which could lead to confusion later.

Using Firebug + Web Developer Toolbar in Firefox and Webmaster mode - you will be able to trace almost all css and html.
