Changing Text color of the header Featured Listings

[loudmouthclassifieds]

Currently my Featured Listings header's color is grey. How do you change it to a different color, where can I get different color codes and where is this located to do this in the template editor.

Sorry, I am new to all of this.

Thanks....Ray

Ray,

You need to provide us with more information in order to get assistance with this.

What version of the software are you using?
What template are you using?
The default featured ads doesn't have a banner at the top, did you purchase something that does this?
What page is this that you are seeing this? the home page?

It is usually a good idea to include your 68 version and template information in your signature, that way all of your posts will automatically include that basic information.

Thanks Mike.....

I am on the v4.0.9 version. I am trying to change the color of the words featured ads on the home page (home.tpl). I believe it is set on the default color gray.


Thank you....Ray

The words "Featured Listings" is only set with the h2 element which is defined in the style sheet.

What you may want to do is edit that in the home.tpl file itself by defining a new class for it.

Around line #36 find this:

<h2>{$smarty.const.LANG_FEATURED_LISTINGS}</h2>

Change that to something like this:

<h2 class="featured">{$smarty.const.LANG_FEATURED_LISTINGS}</h2>

Then in your style.css file in your css folder in your template folder define your new class. I would recommend that you copy the h2 declaration and then make it a new class like this:

.featured { font: bold 2em Arial, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; padding: 0; color: #xxxxxx}

replace #xxxxxx with the hex code of what color that you want as well as change any of the other parameters that you would like to.

Don't forget to backup both your home.tpl and style.css files before editing them. You may also want to add comments within the new files so that when you go back, you'll know what you changed from the original.

Hope that helps,
-Mike
