Changing link colours in speedbar

GM · #1 05-22-2004, 11:10 PM

I'm not sure how to do this?

I set the link colours in skin1/CSS but I need the colours for the speed bar links to be diferent from the colours for the body links. Do I need to edit this in the head.tpl or can I add some code to the CSS to do this? If I do it in the head.tpl then how do I get the rollover colour?

create a new set of styles and apply them to the links in the speed bar

something like

Code:

NewA:link {
        COLOR: #330000; TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
NewA:visited {
        COLOR: #330000; TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
NewA:hover {
        COLOR: #550000; TEXT-DECORATION: underline;
}
NewA:active  {
        COLOR: #330000; TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}

Thanks Shan you rock!

But I'm not sure how to do that, I don't know how to marry

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$SkinDir}/{#CSSFile#}">

with

Code:

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
{if $speed_bar}
<tr>
<td valign=top align=right>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
{section name=sb loop=$speed_bar}
{if $speed_bar[sb].active eq "Y"}
<td>{include file="customer/tab.tpl" tab_title="`$speed_bar[sb].title`"}</td>
<td width=1>[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td>
{/if}
{/section}
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
{/if}
<tr>
<td height=35 align=center class=HeadText>
{if $config.Company.company_phone}{$lng.lbl_phone_1_title}: {$config.Company.company_phone}{/if}{if $config.Company.company_phone_2}{$lng.lbl_phone_2_title}: {$config.Company.company_phone_2}{/if}</td>
</tr>
</table>

If indeed those are to be married? I'm assuming I edit top_menu.tpl and how do i reference the new css entries? (not one of my strong points)

I think you have to edit tab.tpl.

Just change whatever style it is pulling for the name of the new style you created.

thats right

That's the problem, nowhere in tab.tpl is it showing where it's pulling styles:

Code:

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td width=5 background="{$ImagesDir}/tab_l.gif">[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td>
<td height=5 valign=bottom class=Tab>[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td>
<td width=5 background="{$ImagesDir}/tab_r.gif">[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=5 background="{$ImagesDir}/tab_l.gif">[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td>
<td width=85 height=30 class=Tab align=center>{$tab_title}</td>
<td width=5 background="{$ImagesDir}/tab_r.gif">[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=5 height=5 background="{$ImagesDir}/tab_c1.gif">[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td>
<td height=5 background="{$ImagesDir}/tab_b.gif">[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td>
<td width=5 height=5 background="{$ImagesDir}/tab_c2.gif">[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td>
</tr>
</table>

Code:

<td width=85 height=30 class=Tab align=center>{$tab_title}</td>

You need to add link markup in the css for the "tab" class.

IE

Code:

.Tab {
        COLOR: #330000; TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
.Tab:link {
        COLOR: #330000; TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
.Tab:visited {
        COLOR: #330000; TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
.Tab:hover {
        COLOR: #550000; TEXT-DECORATION: underline;
}
.Tab:active  {
        COLOR: #330000; TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}

Just add

Code:

.Tab:link {
        COLOR: #330000; TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
.Tab:visited {
        COLOR: #330000; TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
.Tab:hover {
        COLOR: #550000; TEXT-DECORATION: underline;
}
.Tab:active  {
        COLOR: #330000; TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}

below your .tab entry in the skin1.css.

adpboss... You just saved me about 45 years of study to figure that out, I never would have got it man, thank you so much! That was actually the hardest thing I've had to do in Xcart!

I never would have got it.

ok, now fix the thread title because it is totally useless to anyone searching for help.

Try to make your titles descriptive instead of self-depractory!

Edit the subject on your first post ok?

GM · #10 05-24-2004, 05:54 PM

OK this is really annoying now... I'm not trying to frustrate you guys but it didn't work. I even tried moving the TAB section above the A link section to see if that was an issue but NO GO, what the frigg am I doin' wrong?

Code:

.Tab {
	BACKGROUND-COLOR: #73004E;
}
.Tab:link {
        COLOR: #FFD44C; TEXT-DECORATION: none; 
}
.Tab:visited {
        COLOR: #FFD44C; TEXT-DECORATION: none; 
}
.Tab:hover {
	COLOR: Aqua;
	TEXT-DECORATION: underline;
}
.Tab:active  {
        COLOR: #FFD44C; TEXT-DECORATION: none; 
}
A:link {
	COLOR: Teal;
	TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
A:visited {
	COLOR: Teal;
	TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
A:hover {
	COLOR: Aqua;
	TEXT-DECORATION: underline;
}
A:active  {
	COLOR: Teal;
	TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}

Sorry for the hassle.
