Column_Left

[Guest]

Just the color of Column Left. Is there a way to change the color of the left column without changing all the columns color?

 

Thanks for your help.

I think you can add a class to the column *class="whatever"* and define it in the

stylesheet

 

*.whatever{

background-color: #FFFFFF;

}

*

 

 

between *'s are examples

}

.column_left{

background-color: #FFF000;

}

 

Didn't work. Any other suggestions or did I do it wrong?

[Winterchild]

what did you add to the column?

 

Looks like you're using a template contrib or something. In a clean install it goes as follows.

 

You go to index.php

there's a line saying this:

 

<td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" [B]class="column_left"[/B]

 

the bold shows the change you make.

 

then in the stylesheet you add

 

.column_left{
background-color: #FFF000;
}

 

I added it under

 

.infoBoxContents {
?background: #f8f8f9;
?font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
?font-size: 10px;
}

 

plus you need to change the color of the box. I believe it's:

 

.boxText { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; [B]background-color:#FFF000;[/B]}

 

But I don't know what it's like with a contribution

Thanks for your help. I will keep playing with it until I figure it out..

[Winterchild]

What contribution are you using?

Im using Center Shop..

[Winterchild]

As far as I know centershop shouldn't have an impact on my instructions.

 

Most likely if you can't do it my instructions were wrong :-"

 

Plus your site's not stock osCommerce and the site I tested this on is..

 

you can always try to add bgcolor="#FFF000" to the table column...

 

Anyway,

 

Good luck

What does the code for your index page/column look like?

[Guest]

<td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" class="column_left">

<!-- left_navigation //-->

<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_left.php'); ?>

<!-- left_navigation_eof //-->
