newsletter subscribe mod and css

[baccalao]

I have put the "newsletter subscribe only" mod to my cart. This means a new page are added - subscribe. The CSS does not work for this page. I understand I have to make changes to the CSS-file, but do not understand how? What should I put in here? If anybody could help I would be happy.

can you give us a link to the page you're talking about?

and what you are trying to do with it?

Thank you for answering. The problem I had disappeared when I moved the cart from local to server outside. For a reason I do not know. But there is still one more challenge. In the left column, there is the oppurtunity to make a newsletter only subscription. I want the background here to be gray as well, like the rest of the column. I'm a little lost in the css so I would be thankful for help. Take a look at www.skolseg.no

i would just add the following to your CSS under the sideboxes section:

#subscribeContent{background-color:#CCCCCC}

should work fine...


let me know if you have any problems.

Thank tou - 50% success. This gave me gray color in the box, except behind the letters. So the background color for the text was still white. I had to remove the line you gave me, after testing, 'cause it were not so pretty.

oops... forgot with that particular sidebox you need to do a little editing in the template. gimme an hour or so, and i'll take a look.

[pensive612]

find the tpl_subscribe.php file in your templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_subscribe.php

and give a div id to the 2nd line. (line 13, i believe)

so it looks like this:

  $content .= '<div id="subscribeBox">';

then in your CSS you can add:

#subscribeBox {background-color:#ccc}

should fill color in the rest of the blanks...

Sorry, it did not solve the problem.

To do it clair. I put your line into the start of the tpl_subscribe.php, so it starts like this.

$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="subscribeBox">';
$content .= zen_draw_form('subscribe', zen_href_link(FILENAME_SUBSCRIBE, '', 'SSL'), 'post', '');

And in the css, below sideboxes I put this two lines

#subscribeBox {background-color:#CCCCCC}

#subscribeContent{background-color:#CCCCCC}

May be I have done something wrong?

I don't know the context of this file, but if you are creating a div that wasn't there before, you also need to make a </div> at the end of the relevant area. This might be causing the problem...

Good call, Glenn. I forgot to mention that part...

hopefully it worked out.
