hello
This is my first post here, so please be patient
I made my own customized template already. It still need some of my attention and i stuck with that:

Your IP Address is: /your Ip Address here/
Copyright © 2008 /yornamehere/. Powered by Zen Cart

This is a standard message which I would like to keep on the bottom of the site.

How I can change the color of that message? Simply because I want to have a black body / background / on this site.
But when I change that in CSS also above message change the color to black and basically is invisible.

I need something like :
body : #000000;
and that message for example : #ffffff

This has to be possible? Am I right?

Thanks
Greg

Find this in the stylesheet.css file

.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
font-size: 0.9em;
}

and add color:#XXXXXX; xxxxx being the hex value of the color you want.

Thank you!!!
That helps. I also had to change that:

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {

color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:visited {
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
}

the first one changed the color for white for "Zen Cart"
the second one changed the color for "YourName"

Thank u again that also maybe helps someone else.

That is me again
I went happy to fast




a:visited {
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
}

That change the color of "your name" but also change the color of text in all of the boxes in right and left column for white, and this is not what I was expect

What to do now?
hhhhheeellllppp

Find this in the stylesheet.css file

.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
font-size: 0.9em;
}

and add color:#XXXXXX; xxxxx being the hex value of the color you want.

You need to breakout the section that you want to be "special" by itself. So based on steveshs' post and say you wanted to make a change to #siteinfoCredits only.

Original code:

.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
font-size: 0.9em;
}

1) cut out #siteinfoCredits (be sure to leave a comma and a space between each group)

.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
font-size: 0.9em;
}
2) Paste new section below original code by itself and follow the pattern of the original code making sure to use open and closing brackets

.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
font-size: 0.9em;
}

#siteinfoCredits {
font-size: 0.9em;
blah blah blah;
blah blah blah;
blah blah blah;
}That way you are controlling that one category and not the whole line. You can do this for any that are grouped together for a more fine control of attributes.

I hope this makes sense and helps

Good Luck

thank u all
I will try that tonight again.
In the mean time I found the easiest way to me was a change a background for whole line.
But I will try again....
Thx again

[mcgregork]

ok, so here it is....
after I played with that code I found:

1. removing or changing #siteinfoCredits didn't change anything on my website
2. removing or changing #siteinfoStatus didn't change anything on my website
So at the moment I have no idea what they are for?

3. #siteinfoIP - this is responsible for whole line for IP - that is done
4. #siteinfoLegal- this is responsible only for Copyright © 2008 .
and for Powered by - that is done

But I still cannot fixed my name (after "2008") and ZenCart ( after "by") name which is still black???

I did something like that already:


.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
font-size: 0.9em;
background-color: #acacac;
width: 71.5%;
position: relative;
left: 175px;
top: 25px;
}

http://alluregifts.co.uk

but that is only fine if I will keep that line on my main wrapper but not on black body???

...Hope you can understand me

regards

ps.
yessssss........ I know I still have to fix the viewing my website over the IE. I don't know how yet, but maybe one day

Here is the code it is currently showing:

<div id="siteinfoLegal" class="legalCopyright">Copyright © 2008
<a href="http://alluregifts.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index
&amp;zenid=95c5006899492da3386bee6619988837" target="_blank">
AllureGifts</a>. Powered by <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com"
target="_blank">Zen Cart</a></div>

I looked at your stylesheet.css file and when to this section:

.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
font-size: 0.9em;
background-color: #acacac;
color: #FF0000; // I added this and it change the color
width: 71.5%;
position: relative;
left: 175px;
top: 25px;
}
So if you add a color: #(your color here); It will change the color of the words for everything EXCEPT your company name and the zencart info. Those two lines are controlled in your includes/languages/template_name/english.php file. If you did not copy your english.php file to your overrides folder (which you should have) it will then be includes/languages/english.php

You are looking for the line:

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright &copy;

Hope this helps

I'm glad somebody else has ran into this problem besides me. I tried all of the above a few months back on my first site and still haven't been able to get the colors to cooperate. This is the second Zen site I've set up and if it goes anything like the first, I just may resort to deleting the links and just leave the siteinfoLegal and legalCopyright as plain text.

If anybody has any ideas that work I'm more than willing to listen. You can see the sites here...

Hi I will tell you what my experience is related to my website, as I try to almost every single one line to change the color.....

1. This is the main location on ur server you have to edit:

/public_html/includes/templates/Your_Location/css/stylesheet.css

2. In edited stylesheet.css you have to find this:

.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
font-size: 0.9em;
}

I'd change that for my website to this:

.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
font-size: 0.9em;
background-color: #acacac;
width: 71.5%;
position: relative;
left: 175px;
top: 25px;
}


so I'd:
- add the color background for gray (#acacac)
- width 71.5% to ( to fit the contest area color)
- position: relative to setting on the position where I want to (as below)
left: 175px to moved to the center
top 25px to set up on the very edge of main contest are



3. I finally add another line here:

.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
font-size: 0.9em;
background-color: #acacac;

color: #ffffff;


width: 71.5%;
position: relative;
left: 175px;
top: 25px;
}

That was change the whole color of that line to white from (default)black

4. At the and you can also change the color fro hover :

:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
color: #a83131;
}

In my case when you pointed the mouse on links color changing to red


That all what I found with a huge help of this forum




But still don't know how to change the color of 'MY NAME' and 'ZenCart" in that line, the hover its change as I describe above to any color I will set up after #
Oh maybe I will try that:
#navCatTabs ul li {
color: #somethong here?;
}

Will let you know if that will work..
