here is the url: http://www.treybraids-designs.com/swa/

i am trying to add rounded corners to my template … want to add to modules on both the left and right columns… i have tried to follow a tutorial from joomla.org and it isnt working…

i have entered this css in the template at the end of the file: i am using 3 images for the corners: top / middle and bottom

/* this is for rounded corners */

.module_rounded {
background-image: url(../images/module_middle.png);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
margin: 6px 0px 6px 0px;
width: 100%;
}
.module_rounded div {
background-image: url(../images/module_top.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-position: top;
}
.module_rounded div div {
background-image: url(../images/module_bottom.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.module_rounded div div div {
background-image: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
*************************************************
and this is what i added in the index.php
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”right” style=”rounded” />
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”left” style=”rounded” />

thanks

Right off the bat I can’t tell you what is wrong or why it is not working, but why not try to use a template that already has rounded corners on the modules. Otherwise if you need you could copy the css from one of the other JA templates. They use 4 pictures in stead of 3, tl, tr, bl, br, for top and bottom, left and right,. The pictures are usually found in template/images/box_br.png or something like that. You also have to change part of the template.php file so that the module can use the rounded corners. Please let me know if you need more help and I will try or I’m sure someone else will too. good luck,

Hi trey, glad you got it to work. I had a look at your site. Looks good. I just had a small comments. The headings on your rounded modules go all the way to the left and touch the border. I think it would look better to give that text a bit of a left margin. Good luck with the work.

I agree, a little margin would help.

Also the black text box for the slideshow is miss alligned in IE7 but ok in IE8, FF and Safari.

thanks sunrise and phil….

yea i had taken a much needed break to clear my mind while i tried to figure this one out…. the css i added actually applied to not only the placement of the text but to the frame pix as well…so everytime i adjusted it everything moved… i ended up creating 2 graphics for the top ( one solid and the other with just an outline if that make’s any sense then added some more css for the 2nd graphic and it worked like a charm…

when you view the site the mods with a solid header have a css suffix of ” _rounded ” and the mods with just a frame are labeled ” _rounded1 “….

take a look and let me know what you think…
