Editting search listings fields

[spaceboy]

How do I go about editting the search listig table fields?

I've tinkered around with showlistings.tpl with limited success...

I'd like to change the font size, width, color and alignment of the various columns... which goes beyond the power of the default css file. Also, I need to fix the way the "short description" currently still shows the text of the css style class.

What is the best way to assign new unique css classes to each column? The way I've done it works, but seems to nullify the highlight, bold, featured modifications to the style. Where do I find the class="{$entry.class}" code?

This is what I've done so far... it's a bit of a mess:

Where do I find the class="{$entry.class}"

That is assigned through the searchresults.php, category.php, and toplistings.php files. If you have the developer edition you can open them and probably search for something like $row['class'] or just search for featured and that should point you in the right direction.

I'm still confused... I'm assuming class="{$entry.class}" is a css defined class used in several files? Is this correct?

If so, in which file is it's style define? is there another css file somewhere?

Ok, in searchresults.php, category.php and toplistings.php 68 looks at your database to see if the advert is highlighted ,bolded or featured.

If you wish to change these you can a:

In the style sheet look for

PHP Code:

/* Featured Listings
 * td.featured handles the display of featured listings
 *
*/
td.featured{
    background-color:#F1F1F1;
}
/* Highlighted Listings
 * td.highlighted handles the display of highlighted listings
 *
*/
td.highlighted{
    /*background-color:#CAE6CE;*/
    background-color:#FFF7D2;
} 


Or the other method is to simply remove the {$entry.class} and put in your own class="myclass"

Hope this helps

Also you have an error in your code on showlistings.tpl

PHP Code:

<td class="highlighted"><a href="listing/4/Lifestand_Standing_Wheelchair.html"><strong>Lifestand Standing Wheelchair</strong></a>
          
          <br />
          
         class="highlighted">The best standing wheelchair on the market w/ Emotion power-assistwheels.  &nbsp; <a href="listing/4/Lifestand_Standing_Wheelchair.html">more...</a></td> 


This is the code form your page. You can see that after the first hyperlink closes </a> you have a <br> and then class="highlighted">. You need to go in and remove this from the code
