craigob Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I had an older install of oscommerce from 2006 that worked really well and I customized a lot, I recently decided to upgrade my store to the latest version and have gotten stuck on changing the colors of the box borders (on main page) from that light blue to black, I have looked at the style sheet and changed a lot but so far the color change has eluded me. I have completed the upgrade apart from the color.. what am i missing that's different ? Thank you
MrPhil Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 What CSS entries have you tried changing, and how? Have you successfully changed other CSS properties, so you know you're hitting the right files and editing them correctly? If a CSS entry is being ignored, check if you have a hard coded style= or a <style> in the page that is overriding your CSS file properties.
craigob Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 FOUND IT!... It was in the jquery-ui-1.8.22.css file, I was just hitting the general style sheet css inn the root.. that brings me to another question, IN the older version there was a "column_left.php" that lived the includes folder, no sign of it now, I used to have an image on top of the categories box and editing the column_left.php file was the way to do it
MrPhil Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 The page structure was changed considerably between 2.2 and 2.3. There is now no column_left.php, so you'll need to understand the new structure (CSS-driven) in order to customize it.
craigob Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 hmmm thats not good, guess I better do some reading, any idea where to start?
