Question K1.6 RC3 - List bullet missing (also k.com)

I had a fair idea in the back of my mind this was exactly the kind of response I would get from you. I make it a habit to search tirelessly before I post and I have seen a number of your posts where you treat people this way. Please pardon me for trying to post information that might help others and, above all, asking a question in a support forum. What on earth would make me think I have that right? You can be rest assured you will hear much less out of me from this point forward. But, before I go to the quiet side, a few things I would like to point out:

(a) I did not say this didn't work for me. Matter of fact, I said I greatly appreciated the help you provided and that your fix did provide some help.

(b) I do know how to modify CSS and I understand and know how to use minified CSS. I modified the files in the correct way, I simply did not think it was necessary to lay out all the steps I took in a post. I assumed that stating I made the changes was a fair corner to cut. I was not aware you would conclude that I am incapable of correctly performing the task. Speaking of cutting corners...

(c) I asked the question about the file name simply because you did not provide a file name. I do believe it was about 30 years ago in computers 101 that I learned the importance of being very specific with regard to file names. Perhaps you missed that day? I though it prudent to make sure the error was not that I was tweaking the wrong file.

(d) Lastly, I appreciate you posting some links that actually work! On the other hand I certainly did not learn what little I have by reading your sparse and/or incomplete articles.

Gentlemen,

This is CSS. Currently Kunena leaves the definition of bullets or not, or custom images to the Joomla template. We simply inherit the bullet setting from the Joomla template. In our case the main Joomla template removes bullets as a style from lists in general.

We should probably add this to our css definition. Let me check.

Ok - here is the deal:

Kunena currently does not assign it own class to lists. Its a regular ul element that takes on the formatting of whatever the Joomla template defines.

If we want to change that behavior, we really need to introduce a new css class and reder it in the bbcode parser.

I'll point Ron to this thread to get his input.

Yes, this list is inheriting from the template style. When you add a nested list, there's no style set for that so that's why you see the bullets for those. We should probably force bullets on lists in posts in case the template CSS is trying to be "smart".

Now fixed in SVN.

Thank you all for the help and contributions in this thread. Please pardon my outburst earlier. I let my emotions get the best of me. :blush:

Thanks, mtupstairs, and I agree that I blew off a little steam, too! :blush:

I spent about three-quarters of an hour figuring out a solution. I intended a quick-fix response and I didn't have the patience (you might say) to give a fully comprehensive answer. If we were to dot every i and cross every t every time we reply, I think most people would soon get bored.

I think we're all good, now, and my apologies if I came across as a bit more gruff than usual.
