Hi All,
I’m having a problem with the CSS in JA Lead. If you go to http://www.thecosmeticcounter.co.uk/shop/cosmetics.html you’ll note that some text doesn’t show up because its black (such as recently viewed items). This is because the text is using the same code as the menus on the left. I really need to be able to control the central text seperately from the left as they show on different coloured back grounds. Can this be done?
Cheers
Craig

Hi Craig,

open your handwriten_dark.css file, located in templates/ja_lead/css/colors directory, and on line 15 find :

a {
color: #000000;
}

change the color according to your needs.

Good luck 🙂

Hiya fella
If only it were that easy – if you do that then all the black fonts on the left hand side change too – I need to be able to seperate the 2 as I want to keep the left colum with black text.
I wish it were that simple 🙂

Doh; take that back – its the virtuemart modules that are connected to that line! Still needs tweaking though 🙂

As for the VM categories, i think you should look at this link:

http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=25965.0

also, i replied with the same on the other thread you started regarding this 😉

UNfortunately thats not the fix – I need to insert <ul class=”menu”><li> at the start of the list generation rather than change a setting…..the annoying thing is that JA Larix clearly has a work around as it works! Arrgh!

#335169

I finally found a fix – I copied the css from <ul class=”menu”> and created used this to style a new tag “a.mainlevel” – this worked a treat

a.mainlevel {
background: url(../../images/handwritten_dark/arrow.gif) no-repeat right 10px;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
color: #000000;
}

a.mainlevel:hover,
a.mainlevel:active,
a.mainlevel:focus {
background: url(../../images/handwritten_dark/arrow-hover.gif) no-repeat right 10px;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
color: #ea4f92;
}

You can see it in action on the left hand side of http://www.thecosmeticcounter.co.uk

The css was input into hadwritten_dark.css

:D:p:D:p:D

You tried to do this:

echo $ps_product_category->get_category_tree( $category_id, $class_mainlevel ,”STYLE_ONE“,”STYLE_TWO“);

and then define STYLE_ONE and STYLE_TWO in the css?

Hi,
I think that is esentially what I have done. When I compared JaLarix to Ja LEad I noted that Larix actually had style rules for a.mainlevel – may be the above will work too. It seems to be a common problem so its good to have a fix for it!
Thanks
Craig
