I am not using quickstart, but would like to setup different css colour theme for different menu items like in your demo.

How to do that?

Hi,

The colors can be changed by going into

Module Manager > mod_janews2 > there to the right you will see option Section IDs

now say for Section 13 you want to give red color, 14 say orange, 8 say deep blue you say
13:red
14:orange
8:deepblue

each section and color should be on separate line like shown

I am not talking about the JANews module, I am talking about the menu like the screenshot shown.

Hi

I am also talking about changing menu color – the color options have to be given from the JA News Module.

What color you want for the menu should be set like I have mentioned in the Section ID area

Thanks

oh, I see. colour is linked to section. colour theme only shown when section link is created in menu.

Because I got only 1 section with many categories. How to have single color theme per each Category?

I also want to apply colour theme to other items on my menu, but they are not content section and category. Is it possible?

Can I use Page Class Suffix in menu item to achieve this?

If you want to specify the category color then you simply have to write the category id
but you must remember that if you use category id then the parent section id should not have a color value.

say your section id is: 10 and you have categories 41,42, 44

so you can give color to 41, 42, 44
but then you must not specify 10 else it will override the category color settings.

Since I have both section ID 6 and Category ID 6, when I put 6:red for Category, it shows for section ID 6.

How to set category ID for colour?

hmm…good question. not sure how to do that!
You could see if adding a new section creates a different section ID. then you could use the categories to display the color

other thing you could go directly into the database and change the ID’s of the section and categories so that they dont conflict…
but you could raise this issue with JA Support – they might be able to give you an explaination in this regard.
