Question Altering size of text fields

Hi,

My first Kunena install went swimmingly and I have adapted the default_gray template to suit our site (basically made the grey bits purple). Easy.

In fact, the ONLY glitch that I've found is the 'Personal Text' and 'My Location' text entry fields in the My Profile page - they are too long for the skinny site design we are using: www.nevadabase.co.uk

I have no idea how to control the length of these and from what I can make out from my Firebug (code reading plugin for Firefox) there doesn't seem to be any CSS attached to this. Which means I probably need to do some kind of hack right?

Where would I start with that?

Thanks for any replies,

Albert

Could I also be cheeky and ask: how would you change the "Administrator has disabled public write access." to something more friendly like "Please login to post post or reply to messages." ?



edit: I should mention that I've read the posts that say this is found in the language file - but I can't find any such file in my Kunena setup...

The language file you can find in

administrator / com_kunena / language / kunena.english.php

Amazing - thanks for pointing those files out for me.

I've got a couple more questions if you'll bare with me:

1. How can I format the "Forum Tools" link? I've tried various CSS classes but it doesn't respond to any changes. I need to change the hover colour because it is defaulting to purple, which is the same as the background it is sitting on...

2. Can I get rid of the "search forum" box at the very top. This is redundant since, once the + icon is clicked, another search box appears. I have no problem just using this second (somewhat hidden) search box since searching will not be too important on this forum.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,

components / com_kunena / template / default_ex / kunena.forum.css

line 1273

#Kunena a.forumtools:hover {
color:red;
text-decoration:underline;
}

2. Can I get rid of the "search forum" box at the very top. This is redundant since, once the + icon is clicked, another search box appears. I have no problem just using this second (somewhat hidden) search box since searching will not be too important on this forum.

components / com_kunena / template / defailt_ex / header.html

change this with this
