: section/category formatting
: cjdietz January 07, 2009, 09:11:50 AM
probably a stupid newbie question, but...

1) I've checked "hide" on category/section titles in the article manager...  so why are they still showing up on the webpage?  (http://67.15.245.5/~jigsawcr/)

2) Since they are showing... I've looked in the CSS trying to figure out how to edit it to increase font size/weight (it looks funny to have a tiny little line above a larger article title).  Haven't figured out for sure what section applies...  none of the h1... h5 seem to be the correct one -- it looks like it's currently the same as the body text (12pt) and all of them are larger than that already... so where do I edit this?

thanks! :)

okay... i figured out #1:  I was using category blog on the menu and needed to go to the menu item and check off "no" on "show page title" under the system parameters.

#2) -- still confused and have added a similar question -- changing the font-size for h2 in the css doesn't appear to have any effect.   I wanted to make that larger, but don't seem to be able to?  or am i editing the wrong header -- from what i could read of the css it looks like the header with the titlebar icon would be h2....  ???

what's really weird is i have the same css on my localhost as the online version and yet the localhost has a much larger font for the same headings on the page...??? why??? and why can't I seem to adjust it???

sorry for the newbie questions... :-[

Hello, there are many h2 settings in the css depending on where the h2 appears. If you're adjusting the content titles you need to look for contentheading in the template_css.css file and adjust the font size.

Thanks!  that worked!   :)

now...   ;)  I wanted to adjust the padding as well to bring the text down on the page a little (was looking too scrunched).  but the graphic didn't move down??? 

code:
table.blog .contentheading, h2 {
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    background:url(../images/titlebar.gif) no-repeat;
    font-size:1.6em;
    font-weight:bold;
    line-height:normal;
   padding-left: 25px;

You can try:

margin-bottom:5px;

okay... figured out moving the image (added 0px 20px to the right of the url reference)

but I have not been able to figure out how to change the regular article font size... i've tried both in the body section and in the s5_main section.  i can change it to 14, 18 20px, it doesn't matter -- it still displays the same.  i even tried 1.4 1.6em etc.  so i figure i've got to be looking at the wrong spot, but for the life of me I can't figure out where the right spot would be?

Hi, it's on line 248 in template_css.css under

td, div {

thanks! :)

It had a slightly unintended effect, though...  increasing the font-size in the article increased the font-size of the text on the top menu tabs and right-hand menu as well.  Didn't really want it on the menus (made my top tabs too long for one thing!  So I guess I'm stuck with the smaller font.

Other than that, the site is starting to look pretty good!  I really like the template for this site.... http://67.15.245.5/~jigsawcr/
