Customize style sheets in V3.1 ?

[Frank71]

Hello,

first some comment to the new version - i don't like your template , but I like your work you have done in V3.1 - great !

Now my question:

In admin setupt I can type for the categoriy links font face and size or better a style. If I use a style, the font tags are blank:

->FONT FACE= SIZE=><B><A HREF="browse.php?cat=2&PHPSESSID=e6c4763e6cf9b8496 8bc698e9db8bfe6" style="font-size: 11px; color: #0033cc;">Board Games</A></B<-

I think this is not so good for the code, bad to check it by codecheckers and space for noting.
So I want to delete FONT FACE and SIZE
-> Where can I do this ?

After this I want to use only extern style sheets. This will also save space and time (there are a lot style tags in the code !).
So I have to find the place there style=" is definded and change it to a class=".
Then I can choose the class direct in the admin setup and define it with hovers and something else in my extern style sheet.
Where can I change this ?

Hope someone can help.

Yes, but at the result is correct. Most browser will take style tag as higher priority. Although you have FONT FACE = arial, but if you set style to verdana, browser will use verdana.

So I want to delete FONT FACE and SIZE
-> Where can I do this ?

It is in /lib/category.class.php, search for display() function, about line 454. Or just go to line 586-587, change this code:

$category .= "$image <FONT FACE=$cat_font_face
SIZE=$cat_font_size>";

$category .= "<B><A HREF=\"$cat_url\"
style=\"$this->cat_link_style\">
$cat_name</A></B> $html_number_of_links \n";

Thats great, thank you !!

I had some problems in the past with older browsers to show font size 2 and so I want delete all this font tags.

Next question:
Is it right, that the name of a category only is given in the category class ?

I'm preparing Indexu for a second language and created a new field "name_en" and now I'm searching all the codes, where "name" is used and there are a lot

But for me, only the display categroy name function and the funtion to order them.

Yes, indexu system is centralized. What you're looking for in in category.class.php. Indexu class file is self-explained. I have put a lot of comment on it so you can modify as you need.

In top of class, I have listed variables/attribute and function/method you can use. Just search for what you need.

  var $separator = "::";
  var $header = "";
  var $image_path = "";
  ..........................

  
  // GetAccessPermission($cat)
  // GetContent($cat)
  // GetMetaKeyword($cat)
  // GetMetaDescription($cat)
  
  // Display()
  
  // UpdateNumberOfLinksInAllCategories()    
  // UpdateNumberOfLinksInCategory($cat_id)
  // GetAddLinkPermission($cat)
  // GetCategoryName($cat)
  
  // DisplayCategoryListBox($cat,$show_main_category=false)
  .........................

Ok, this is the next job - the first indexu with more then one language is coming sone

But first I'm fighting with css:

I removed all font and faces for the category and it works fine, ok withou t one thing - > this my css:

A.katlink:link {font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; color:blue; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica }
A.katlink:visited { text-decoration: none }
A.katlink:active { text-decoration: none }
A.katlink:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#ff9900 }

My knowledge is, that I should online define what I change, but I have still a active color in my links - the rest works fine ??!!!

And after that I'm searching for the playe where I can give the "category_path_with_link" a class ?!
