hi guys,

i need your wisdom again please.

i installed the fabulous (hey, i love it) Advanced Contact Form (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1352) but would like to highlight the app bar entry that it added as CONTACT.

is there a simple way to make it bold or an i possibly causing myself more grief later ?

post in the mods support topic so that those that use the mod and the author can help you.

i was going to do that but i also thought that it might be handy for one of the OTHER app options - like the "Home" button, for example.

i was hoping i could address all app bar modifications in one hit.

or do you still recommend that i approach the mod writer ?

we dont know how that mod author added the option to the menu. depending on how it was added it can have a different way to change it to bold. best to ask the mod author.

i see.

thanks for explaining that ... on second thoughts, i will leave it as it is.

I might as well be happy that it works and works well.

thanks again for your wonderful, prompt service 8) !

P.S. my forum is running very smoothly, i just need more content !

actually, regardless of how the menu item was added, the bold or color can be done via CSS....

every button is defined
e.g. <li id="button_calendar">


so, just target the id of whatever your mod author called the button and specify the css to use bold.

firstly, thanks for jumping in ...

BUT i have no idea where to find the point and in what program to modify ? i wouldn't know how to figure that out easily as i am missing out on some fundamentals unfortunately.

i looked for " <li id=" and got back too many files :(

i also don't mind if you ask me to do my own research, but i must try, right ?

LATER:

i did find where the button is set though" grep -r "CONTACT" /var/www/html/Themes

/var/www/html/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php:$txt['contact_form_default_tab_label'] = 'CONTACT';
/var/www/html/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php:$txt['contact_form_default_tab_label'] = 'CONTACT';


and then i tried grep -r "contact_form_default_tab_label" /var/www/html/Sources

/var/www/html/Sources/Subs.php:                         'title' => !empty($modSettings['contact_form_tab_label']) ? $modSettings['contact_form_tab_label'] : $txt['contact_form_default_tab_label'],
/var/www/html/Sources/ManageSettings.php:               array('text', 'contact_form_tab_label',     '24', 'postinput' => '<span style="color: #444444;" class="middletext">' . $txt['contact_form_label_default'] . $txt['contact_form_default_tab_label'] . '</span>'),

hmmm ... i think i really should ask the mod author, it would save time in the long run.

thanks again :)

i just found the "SUPPORT AND COMMENTS FOR THIS MOD" so i added this.

Ummm... No and no again...

Look at the forum as a website.
Figure out what the button is named
Then add the correct definition to the index.css file for your theme(s)

i have been trying the index.css route but haven't worked out it's [the button] name.

another member has been kindly helping me via PMs and he also suggested the css route so i added a section that we thought would work but it failed to bold it.

Look at the HTML code for your page
Firefox+firebug is my weapon of choice...

Find the button, find the name.

Add
#button_name { font-weight: bold; }
To index.css

yeah, thanks, it's button_contact and IT WORKS !

amazing.

thank you, i added:

#button_contact { font-weight: bold; }

i'm very happy now and have learned something about CSS today; a good day.

thanks guys.
