Help changing "more info" & modifying stylesheet

Hello All!

I have two questions... things I've been struggling to find aswers to. It's now time to ask for help....

  1. I have been working at trying to find information to change the page names of my "more information" categories. I have changed them in the english.php file, but this isn't changing the heading on the web page.
    I'm sure I've done it before, but can't for the life of me, find it anywhere.
    HELP!

  2. I have added a background to my side boxes. What I want to do is keep the background in the left column, but replace the background in the right column, making it white again. I'm not sure how to write this into my stylesheet. Can someone help?

I have added a link as an example for both issues...

http://www.jemenvy.com/index.php?main_page=page_3

I would really appreciate any help that anyone can give me. I've got to have the website ready very soon, and I'm totally stuck on these two points

Thanks so much!

Re: Help changing "more info" & modifying stylesheet

While I'm thinking about it... I'm also having difficulty with the "Currencies" heading.

The font is larger than the rest of the sidebox fonts, and it doesn't seem to want to change.

I'm not sure why this happened, but any suggestions on how to fix it would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.

Re: Help changing "more info" & modifying stylesheet

For your first issue: (From the FAQs)

To change the name of page_2, page_3 or page_4

open the appropriate file includes -> languages -> ENGLISH -> page_?.php

make the changes to fit your needs
define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Page ?');
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Page ?');
then save the file to

includes -> languages -> ENGLISH -> CUSTOM -> page_?.php and upload to your server (We use CUSTOM for your template and ENGLISH for your language by default. These generic terms should be changed to the name of the template/language you are using.)

Good luck!

Tim

In your style sheet change where it says:

.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {
    margin-bottom: 1em;
    background-color: none;
    border: none;
    background-image: url(../images/text_back.gif);
}
```To something like:

.leftBoxContainer {
margin-bottom: 1em;
border: none;
background-image: url(../images/text_back.gif);
}

.rightBoxContainer {
margin-bottom: 1em;
border: none;
}

Kind regards,
Christian.

Yes, that fixed it!

I knew approximately, what and where it needed to be changed. Just wasn't 100% sure who to break it up.

Thank you kindly, Christian!

The font is larger than the rest of the sidebox fonts, and it doesn't seem to want to change.

It is because the Currencies heading text has <label></label> tags around it which it shouldn't have. You can either remove them in the sidebox currency template or in your stylesheet do the following...

Change...

h4, h5, h6, LABEL, h4.optionName, ADDRESS, .sideBoxContent, legend, .larger{
    font-size: 1.3em;
}
```..to read...

h4, h5, h6, h4.optionName, ADDRESS, .sideBoxContent, legend, .larger{
font-size: 1.3em;
}


I've not tested the above but I think it should work.

Kind regards,
Christian.
