Log Yourself In/Create an Account

[2johnsons]

On the home page/ index page I want to change the color of the text "Log yourself in" and "Create an account" I was able to change the roll over color but not the actual text color. I want it to stand out, right now it just blends in.

 

Thank you for any help.

Two ways.

 

They're links.

 

You can change color of the anchor attribute in the stylesheet. It will look something like this:

 

A {
 color: #000000;
 text-decoration: none;
}

The problem with that is it might change more than you want (link colors elsewhere on the page).

 

If you want to change just those links another way would be in /catalog/includes/langauages/english.php, this code:

 

define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a>? Or would you prefer to <a href="%s"><u>create an account</u></a>?');

to

 

define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a style="color:blue;" href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a>? Or would you prefer to <a style="color:blue;" href="%s"><u>create an account</u></a>?');

Note that I added this code TWICE in there:

 

style="color:blue;"

Of course you can choose your own color or use a 6 hex digit color equivilant (i.e #000000 for example).

Thank you for the information it worked but I lost my mouse over effect (text changing to another color) how can I get that back as well as keep the new color?

Make a new anchor style in your stylesheet with the attributes you want, like this:

 

A.new {
 color: #000000;
 text-decoration: none;
}

Then use it in the code like this:

 

define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a class="new" href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a>? Or would you prefer to <a class="new" href="%s"><u>create an account</u></a>?');
