Want smaller description text in forum description, where can i change size?

redone

The text size is set. You could probably change this in the template if you wanted.

Easiest way would be to upload a graphic image and use that for your forum name and description.

Wich template ? Is there not a place to change it?

As I have said there is no "place" to change the size of the text. Looking at it closer you would probably need to edit the css of the theme and not the index.template file.

I will move this one to the graphics and templates section.

Can you help me to find the exact text/place where to change it? I cant find the right place, maybe it is because my english is not very good  :o

There's a file named: style.css or template.css i didn't remember now, in your theme directory... Open that file and look for the text you want to change...

LaBamba

When you advice me, tell the exact place, the place...?

The file is style.css, you'll find it in:

Themes/default/style.css

If you tell us exactly the text you want to change, we can be more detailed....

comatose

are you talking about the Description under each forum(category) name? is that what you want to make smaller?

Madley

I think LaBamba is gone.... he's only guest now. ???

comatose

Oh Well, I guess he was a one hit wonder.

I was gonna tell him he could do what he wants in the admin section in the boards area.

I would like too to do that. Do you know how?

comatose

go to "Admin|Boards" then click on Modify for the board you want to change, in the descriptions box add this:

<font size="2" color="#00FFFF">Category Description here</font>

You can change the font size number, the color in Hex format and the Description to what you want.
All this is, is basic HTML code in the description box. you can even do this in the category name(Board Name) also.

Thanks for reply :)

I have more than 130 boards..
U know what i mean.. ;) (I need to do it inside template).

comatose

I looked for the code to do this in template also, this is as close as i could find, sorry.
i'm not good enough at coding to try this with PHP code yet.

No matter. :)
Thanks, i have do it by ur way.

I've manage to find the way.

Here it is.

Copy the BoardIndex.template.php to your skin

Open BoardIndex.template.php and find:
', $board['description'];

Replace with:
<span class="smalltext"> ', $board['description']; echo '</span>';


And then do the same thing in MessageIndex.template.php

Open MessageIndex.template.php and find:
', $board['description'];

Replace with:
<span class="smalltext"> ', $board['description']; echo '</span>';
