SO FRUSTRATING!

Unable to change the color & size of Ja Slideshow 2 DESCRIPTION (using Joomal 1.5.23 and cannot upgrade because of an Auction mod that is not available in 1.7 or above).

SITE I’M WORKING ON IS HERE: http://siteground210.com/~blackst5/new_joomla1.5/

I have looked in template.css, style.css and the template.css for the BLACK color
I have add the following code to template.css to no avail:

.ja-slide-desc p
font-size:13px;
}

.ja-slide-desc-inner h3{
color:blue!important;
}
.ja-slide-desc-inner {
color: red!important;
}

CAN SOMEONE HELP ? MOST GRATEFUL.

Hallo cybernun!

We’ve spoken before! 🙂

First pay attention to my signature and second can you set your css optimistation in the template to off.

With optimisation on one can’t see the right css file as they are compressed. Whilst you are building the site it is best to set the css optimise to no and also “enable development mode” to yes. That kills out cache so that you can see changes immediately. As you set for live you set them all back.

Can I ask exactly what you are trying to achieve?

Thanks, Swissa. yes…you have helped before.
Yes. The description for each image in the Ja Slideshow. I have changed the text in the module but I cannot locate how to change size & color.

Thanks for setting that!

Now, if you right click on an object you can see the correct css.

i.e. @ http://siteground210.com/~blackst5/new_joomla1.5/modules/mod_jaslideshow2/assets/themes/travel/style.css

line 64

.maskDesc .ja-slide-desc a, .maskDesc .ja-slide-desc h3 {
color: #fff3d8; /* change this to the colour you want */
font-family: 'UbuntuRegular',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 200%; /* you can change the % or you state a pixel amount ie. 13px */
margin-top: 10px;
display: block;
}


you can see the color and size for the header and change it.

For the following line – sub description? – it looks to be located on line 74 of the same file

.maskDesc .ja-slide-desc p {
color: #b89a85;
}

If you want to change the size of the second line you can edit the code to be e.g.

.maskDesc .ja-slide-desc p {
color: #b89a85; /* you change the colour here */
font-size: 200%; /* you could also say 14px if you want */
}

I hope that helps you cybernun!

I will try now. You are amazing but what do you mean “right click on an object?”

I right clicked on the slideshow and don’t understand. I do not see the file.

Sorry! :-[

Heh, I’ve been involved with Joomla for only 3 months and forget that I’m still an idiot.

If you highlight any element with then click with right button ( in chrome, safari or firefox) then there is an option to “inspect element”. This will give you the file and then you can search for the exalt place.

I learnt this through getting it wrong more than getting it right :-[ but if you are confused I can find you the video for firebug for you!

Well I did highlight and right click and ‘inspect element did not come up. WAIT A MINUITE…you mean in Firebug? Then, yes, send link to video. I really need to learn it. Spend too much time hunting for element sources. You are really kind to help. Thank you so much. :-*

:-[ I have to admit I don’t use firebug. I do it all with Chrome and right click the mouse but I promise you if an idiot like me can get it then you’re going to be streets ahead of me!
