I read through all the posts, But I'm stuck on how to change the Border.. It says your "CSS file for your forum - style.css in your theme."
But where do I edit this??? I'm looking through my theme & cannot find "style.css" Using Curve Default, Please tell me step by step where do I need to go to edit this for change of border color.
Thanks all!

Use your theme's index.css instead.

Ok, Looking REALLY hard I see /httpdocs/Themes/default/style.css.. Is that where I edit? If so How? Because I can not find the codes mentioned in the earlier post? Or do I have to just add them? Sorry, I'm usually pretty decent in all this code stuff but this one has got me stuck. Thanks for the quick response! Please if you can just tell me exactly what I need to do again.. I would really appreciate it

Hey,

A link to your forum would really help so I could see for myself exactly what file you need to make the edits in. Also, exact desired definitions on the new border (color, width, and whether it will be dashed or dotted) you are seeking could allow me to write the CSS for you.

Ok here is my site

I made you a member since guest do not have full access

Oh & I just want to make the border red

[Nick Whetstone]

Try opening /Themes/default/css/index.css and adding this to the end of it:

Code Select Expand

.mod_comment, .gmod_comment, .admin_comment
{
border-color: red;
}

It worked!! Thank you so much!!


But what if in the future, I wanted to make a background color inside the box, can that be done?

[Nick Whetstone]

Sure can... Try replacing the code I posted above with:

Code Select Expand

.mod_comment, .gmod_comment, .admin_comment
{
   border-color: red;
   background: yourcolorhere; /* Replace "yourcolorhere" with your desired background color ;) */
}

[linette97]

Thank you so much for your help!

[Nick Whetstone]

No problem at all. If you've got more questions, feel free to ask.

Can someone tell my if this is SMF 2.0 RC3 compatible ?

[Arantor]

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be barring a change of version tag.

Suggestion: backup forum then use the version emulate tool (Admin > Packages > Browse Packages > Advanced > enter SMF 2.0 RC2)

As far as I know it should work without any changes.

* Ha² updates the Mod for RC3.

Updated for RC3.

[KensonPlays]

Thanks Ha! When I upgrade, I will do this!

[Pegasys]

I installed this today on  RC3 (default curve theme)... and the permissions seem to be ignored. Even guests can see all 3 comment boxes.

* Set the permissions for globalmods and mods... and made sure the permission where not set for guests or regular members.

Anyone else having this issue or am I missing something?   

Thanks.

Are you saying that the guest can see the box, or that the guest can post the box? The permissions only prevent people from posting the box (using the [mod]/[gmod]/[admin] BBC), not from viewing it.

Hehehe... my misconception.  I misunderstood what the purpose of the comment blocks was for. The buttons are indeed hidden from those not authorized to use them.

Thanks. 

[Arantor]

Yeah, the idea is a big warning that makes the comments from admin/gmod/mod stand out more and makes it more 'official'.

[Autumn13]

Hi there, I love this mod! I was wondering if someone could help me on putting the buttons on Quick Reply as well? I have custom themes, so if you could just tell me where in the code I should look, that would be a big help:)

[Arantor]

Autumn13: What version of SMF?

Do you already have a mod that puts buttons in the Quick Reply area, if so which one?
