Changing Link Colours

[scottmcclean]

Hi there,
I have made some changes to my store which required me to change the main a:link colours to white. This has had a knock on effect that the Welcome Guest message now contains a white link on a white background.

To get around this I created a new css id for the link colours and tried to apply the style to the "index.php" under languages/custom. Unfortunatley this hasn't worked.

How do I go about changing these link colours?

Here is the amended code:
// Showcase vs Store
if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a id="blacklinks" href="%s">log yourself in</a>?');


Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Scott

default Zencart has a class called greeting. which is not added to CSS.

since you have modified the code . you could do the following to see if it works


add this

#blacklink {
color:black;
}

you could also do the following if you remove ID from <a>

.greetUser a {
color:black;
}

Hi tony_sar Thanks for your response, I have tried your suggestions but unfortunately they have not worked so I am probably doing something wrong.....

I added the following to the CSS: #blacklink {
color:black;
}

This gave no joy. I then added the class to the CSS and also removed the id from the index.php page but again no joy.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Cheers
Scott

do you have a link to your site ?
there might be some changes that we don't know about and looking at pages might give some result .

No link I am afraid as it is on our test network. I would be more than happy to provide any pages if that would help?

since no link and this looks like modified template . then i suggest on installing FIREBUG extension for Firefox browser and using that , try to identify your problem with the link and its color .

this extension allows you to modify CSS and your page look ( cached version only ) and see the effect of changes , once happy you can just make it available to your CSS files
