Question When using firebug to look at code, how can you tell which php file the code is located in?

Thx for the reference to the other post. I've already been faced with your point when upgrading from 1.5.9 to 1.5.11....and I agree.

I'm not going to worry about the button any longer. The reason I wanted to move the search box over in the first place is that the expand/collapse button is invisible on my page due to its color, and hence I thought it was just blank space there between the search box and the border (such as due to padding). I probably wouldn't have cared even then except that I right-justified the advanced search link in the profile box under the search box and hence it'd be just a bit cleaner if they were aligned with one another. Again, not a big deal...and certainly no need to spend any time investigating.

Perhaps, though, that could be something to consider for future versions if it's not been addressed already. FWIW from a newb, it seems to me the other links in the profile box would be better as just additional tabs above (Announcements of course is already in both places).

Thx.

This has been a really interesting discussion. The further we have delved into the matter, the easier it has become to see what's at the heart of the matter. So, all of this discussion that went off into server-side scripting, and why Firebug is useless in this regard, simply boils down to the fact that you have an image that's camouflaged against the background colour of your website.

Well, easy problem: change the image! Use a contrast colour for the image.

No, that was just an example to illustrate my question about trying to find the php files.

Hi Inphx,

I run into this problem sometimes because I have to find where particular code is "hidden" also. This is how I do it:

1) Use firebug and highlight the element you want to find the code to.
2) look in the HTML for a class or ID.
3) Use windows search or some other tool to search all files in that folder for that class or ID - you should find the accompanied PHP in whichever files that show.

Alternatively if you just don't want it to display you would just use firebug to find the css element and add a "display:none;" to it, assuming no other element shares the same class or ID.

Thank you!

rodvoid,

I have tried your method using an FTP program and thru the Cpanel file browser to search for "ktopiclocked" and I have had zero luck finding the .php file. I want to add text to the right of the padlock icon.

Can you find it?
