I have the same problem with this post
http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/li-issue-how-to-remove-the-dot/

open /myroot/templates/ja_teline_iv/css/template.css
and remove

background: url("../images/bullet.giZ") no-repeat scroll 20px 6px transparent;

but the problem remains.
Allow development mode and firebug tells me to remove the same string in the
myroot/plugins/system/jat3/base-themes/default/css/template.css

Why??

instead of removing the string…I have changed so

background: no-repeat 20px 6px transparent;
and it works … an explanation to this?

The latest T3 update messed up the formatting up on my site for anything with a list. It added bullets to the login mod, and distorted other list. I had to make several changes to the template.css.under the plugin directory as well.

To remove the bullets, I commented out the background line, this still left excessive padding which I reduced from 30px to 5px

/* background: url(../images/bullet.gif) no-repeat 20px 7px;*/
line-height: 160%;
margin-bottom: 5px;
overflow: hidden;
padding-left: 5px;

For Joomlart support, is there any reason that the padding is so much? Can it be reduced so that we don’t have to go through this everytime, or possibly have the ability to configure some of these parameters in the admin section?

Hello,

Can you provide your site url.But first go into the template manager and set css optimiation to “No” so we can see the correct files to modify and not the compressed version.

What do you mean by latest T3 update? If you are talking about the plugin then I can understand your problem. What you need to do is copy the relavent css to the templates folder instead of the plugin folder. That way your changes will not be lost when you update the plugin.

Thanks for responding,
I am referring to the plugin. I usually make my changes in the template directory, templatecsstemplate.css file. In this case, I did the same thing a month ago. When I applied the latest T3 plugin v. 1.2.6, it over-rode those changes. I checked my template.css file in my template directory, and the line in question was still commented out, so I couldn’t figure out why the bullets were now showing up. I didn’t figure out why it was doing this until I saw fdr77’s post above that pointed to the template.css in the plugin directory.

Thanks for the update. Yes, removing the line will mean the code reverts to the similar line in the plugin which is not what is wanted. So removing just the image from the code is the correct way to go.
