Any idea where I can edit the bbcode css attributes such as the amount of top and bottom padding/margin for the INDENT bbcode tags? I need to make lists and sub (and sub-sub) lists without using complicated bbcode and not have a bullet point show up.

Example:
I want to make this:



Look like this:

I have split your topic - Use a different editor? - in which you posted your question because it is a different question and I have moved your question to a category that more appropriately deals with such matters as the appearance of bulleted list items.

I would draw your attention to an answer I gave similarly only a short time ago, namely Full screen forum.... , in which I want to remind people about the general approach that we take in relation to generalised, broad issues caused by the Joomla site template choices that people have taken.

The appearance of bullet pointed unordered lists in Kunena is invariably resolved by an appropriate use of CSS code that overrides whatever rules are used in your Joomla site template CSS file. If we had more information about your site (and therefore what CSS rules are involved in your site) we may be able to help you. However, the easiest way for you to resolve this issue yourself is to learn to effectively use Firebug for Firefox (or other web design tools), develop an appreciation and understanding of CSS, and apply these principles in your webcraft. I hope that some of this information will help you and others seeking to overcome similar problems that people may have. :)

Using rhuk_milkyway on J 1.5.23 and thanks for splitting topic.

I did use Firebug to find the general ul css and it says it's located in kunena.forum-min.css in which I edited the list-style-type line and changed 'disc' to 'none'.

Seems this works for only one post though which is strange - the next time you create a ul it adds the bullets back in. But your saying that Kunena uses the Joomla template css for uls/ols?


Actually this isn't about uls or ols, it's about the indent bbcode tag that created my example. I believe indent *might* use the blockquote tag but i'm not sure. Any insight?

Look at the HTML created by your website. You will find that ordered or unordered list items comprise <ol><li> ... </li></ol> HTML tags. There are no <blockquote> tags used. For example, look at the following list:
  • Item 1
    • sub-item 1.1
    • sub-item 1.2
  • Item 2
    • sub-item 2.1
    • sub-item 2.2
      • sub-item 2.2.1
      • sub-item 2.2.2
I created this list with the following Kunena BBCode:
Code:
[ul] [li]Item 1 [ul] [li]sub-item 1.1[/li] [li]sub-item 1.2[/li] [/ul][/li] [li]Item 2 [ul] [li]sub-item 2.1[/li] [li]sub-item 2.2 [ul] [li]sub-item 2.2.1[/li] [li]sub-item 2.2.2[/li] [/ul][/li] [/ul][/li] [/ul]
Look at the HTML source of this page and you will see that there are no <blockquote> tags in this posting.

Again, I say to you, you are asking us to give a generalised answer to a specific problem that affects your website and we do not know anything about your website.

People should never directly modify the file kunena.forum-min.css. We have said this hundreds of time. Do not directly modify the file kunena.forum-min.css! If you want to override the CSS in that file, add specific CSS rules to the end of your Joomla site template CSS file.

Please read the FAQs page, especially the section How do I change the colours of my template in Kunena?

Read again the options you have available to you in the article My Joomla template is making a mess of Kunena .

Thanks for the reply.
I know how to create it using uls but the guy I am making these forums does not, and I have no desire to teach him. Using the indent tag is much simpler for everyone:
Code:
Top Level [indent]Second Level[/indent] [indent][indent]Third Level[/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent]Forth Level[/indent][/indent][/indent]
If you create a post like this and use Firebug to inspect it you'll see what is in the attached screen shot. They are blockquotes, not lists.
What I am trying to do is figure out where the website is getting the css from that determines the spacing around those blockquotes in the indent bbcode tags.
Is it coming from Joomla or from Kunena?

Firebug says it is coming from kunena.forum-min-css and I tried a template over-ride using 'custom.css' to no avail.

Thoughts?

EDIT: plus, using the indent tag doesn't use bullets which is what I was trying to avoid in the first place.

I have asked you twice now to show us exactly where, on your website, you have this issue. You have not done that.

Perhaps someone else can guess better than me what you need to do. I am not going to guess or spend any more time on this issue if you cannot offer information that assists.

If you believe that using the
tag is better for you then, by all means, use that tag. I have to admit that, until I read this topic I have never before heard of the "indent" tag! :blush:

If you believe that it's better for you to directly modify the kunena.forum-min.css file (in spite of all the best advice to the contrary) then, by all means, make changes there if that's what you want to do.

If you do not know how to modify CSS then I suggest, with all due respect to you, that you engage a professional to make the necessary changes you need to make.

If you understand how Joomla works then you would also understand that your Joomla site template CSS file is the place that is ultimately responsible for how your site appears. I think that answers your question about whether your formatting problem arises from Joomla or from Kunena (no matter what changes you might make, or choose to make, to the file kunena.forum-min.css).
