CSS buttons v2.x

[Sawhorse]

This is a just in case you are having the same problem I was having and can't find the solution post.

I was trying to make a button smaller in width. I wanted it to be 65px and it was currently 80px wide.

I went into the /public_html/includes/template/YOUR TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet-css_buttons.css and tried to make the change. However, the change never stuck. I searched for hours trying to find out the solution. I could change the width in firebug but of course that is only temporary.

The solution is in /public_html/includes/functions/html_output.php at about Line #305 :

$min_width = 80; // this is the minimum button width, change the value as you like

All you need to do is change that minimum width from 80 to the width of your choice.

Do you guys think that the sliding doors method might be bit outdated? We now have CSS3, I know all browsers don't quite support it but it's definitely growing in popularity. With CSS3 we can add gradients and drop shadows to buttons without any images.

Would like to get your thoughts on this!

All I know about CSS3 is something I heard about IE9 supporting it in Oct of last year. I personally like to wait a bit for things to settle before I jump in. But, I agree that CSS3 seems to be the direction to go in the very near future for any new web pages. The old works, the new (most likely) will work better.

Hello,

Does CSS buttons work fine with 1.3.9h fresh install?
Please let me know if you installed it already.

Thanks

I have a question:
I am looking for something that changes the standard Prev/Next navigation into something like small buttons... does this module alloow that?

I played with all the modules before settling on Dynamic CSS Input buttons.

I just installed it again on a friends site and it works so very well.

I apologize for the quick response up there.

I have had to adjust a few things - forgot, but some of that is in my previous two post from a few months ago

....I don't have time as I'm leaving for a few days but will post here how I fixed the nav buttons.

If using Dynamic CSS Input buttons you have to make sure you've uploaded the includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_products_next_previous.php supplied with the mod to get the nav next previous buttons to line up properly. it only shows if there is more than one item in a category. without this file your buttons will just expand on top of one another.
