Question Why did 1.6.1 change my link colour (and how to fix it?)

Why did 1.6.1 change my link colour (and how to fix it?) was created by Troneas
hi.

i updated from 1.6.0 to 1.6.1 and i'm using the Aphotic template (default).


after the update, my forum links changed colour to kunena's defaul blue #5388B4 instead of the one I was using.

This wouldn't be a problem (even though i don't understand why the upgrade is messing up my template CSS) IF now i wasn't able to revert it:

I try to edit my template CSS Aphotic > kunena.forum.css as before:

}
#Kunena a:link,
#Kunena a:visited,
#Kunena a:active {color: #D86E23;}
#Kunena a:focus {outline: none;}
#Kunena a:hover {color: #FFFFFF;}

BUT the site is still loading the colour #5388B4 instead of #D86E23...

any ideas?

ok. i am not quite sure why this was moved to the Templates and Design section since i found the problem and it has nothing to do with my template.


i solved this issue by editing the INITIALIZE.PHP file here:

$forumLink = $this->params->get('forumLinkcolor', $skinner ? '' : '#D86E23');

if ($forumLink) {
$styles .= <<<EOF
#Kunena a:link,
#Kunena a:visited,
#Kunena a:active {color: {$forumLink};}
#Kunena a:focus {outline: none;}
#Kunena a:hover {color: #FFFFFF;}



i'd say that after the infamous new kunena menu, this was yet another clever way to complicate and confuse the user unnecessarily.

Solved.

OK, I'm not sure why the the user thinks this issue has something to do with K 1.6.1 support. I moved this topic to the Template & Design category for the simple reason that the issue concerns a template that is not a core component that was developed or that is supported by the Kunena project.

Thank you, Troneas, for solving this particular issue. I am sure that there are many people who appreciate your contributions.

I would say that this was actually a disingenuous attempt to needlessly blame the Kunena developers for something that is not within their ability to control. Please check, next time you blame someone, who is responsible for what you have chosen to use.

this would all be true if the initialize.php file was located in my chosen template (ie: aphotic).

but its not.

its located in the Default (blue eagle) template, which comes with kunena, updated in this last patch, and for some reason its affecting MY chosen template CSS. so in essence i had to change the settings of a file in another template (kunena's default) to change mine to what it was.

but anyway, sorry about the previous rant.

Yep he is right, dunno why any changes in kunena.default-min.css or kunena.default.css

with class:

#Kunena a:link,
#Kunena a:visited,
#Kunena a:active
{}

#Kunena a:focus
{}

#Kunena a:hover
{}

DON'T work. U can change default blue #5388B4 color to something else - but it still dont work - dunno why. Instead, like Troneas wrote u need to change INITIALIZE.PHP in kunena\templates\DEFAULT\INITIALIZE.PHP

You can always add CSS to your main site template.css file to override Kunena's styles. That way, when you update, your changes are preserved.

bigmike0601:

Add this to the bottom of your main site template.css file:
Code:
#Kunena a:link, #Kunena a:visited, #Kunena a:active {color: #000000 !important; } #Kunena a:focus {color: #000000 !important;} #Kunena a:hover {color: #000000 !important;}

Replace the black color with the colors you want.
