Merged "Invisible text"

Hi,

Greetings everybody. Thanks for this application

I just upgraded to 1.7 on my site repertorioamericano.org/index.php/foro7 there you will see that text is white and backround is white too. I tried on css but did not get the text to be black or any dark color.

How can I fix this? I also notice there is a problem on the forum size when using Chrome.

Greetings, Marco

Hello,

Do you have looked with firebug if you can change something ?

Look at the file ../templates/autodealer-et/css/styles.css at line 5

body {
color: #FFFFFF;
font: 13px/1.5em Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif;
}

Comment-out the line that refers to color, as you see below:

body {
// color: #FFFFFF;
font: 13px/1.5em Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif;
}

If you have a problem with the "forum size" using Chrome, please start a new topic about that issue and say exactly what is wrong with the forum "size". Thank you.

Xillibit, Thank you, I did not know this addon from firefox, it's great.

sozzled, You are terrific, I just followed your advise and the problem was worked out. thank you very much.

Hi,

I have had a read through the forums and wiki but am still not fully confident of the issue or how to resolve it.

The text colour is not visible as it clashes with the back ground. It's occurring in the categories, who is on-line, statistics, posts and topics etc.

The forum can be found here - formula18uk.cloudaccess.net/forum.html

I understand that it could be something with Joomla but in either case, I am not sure which element to amend.

When I get home later, I will be trying to use the recommended developer tool but thought if there was an obvious/simple solution, then someone may be able to point it out.

I am using Joomla 1.7 and the latest Kuena, too.

Thanks in advance.

mafooy: Your problem stems from line 33 of your Joomla site template (../templates/tx_gravity/css/style3.css) whioh has the rule:

.tx-content th a, .tx-content td a, .tx-content td {
color: #F3F3F3;
}

Comment it out. For other people reading this topic, please look at How do I change the colours of my template in Kunena?

Hi Sozzled,

Thank you for that. Looks a lot better than the option of blending with the site template as that created it's own problems relative to the colour of category headers.

As i thought would happen... it has now altered the formatting of my Eventlist table!

Sorry to hear about that but your subsequent problem is something you can probably fix with special CSS directives used by the Eventslist component.

Your Joomla site template controls everything on your site. If you change your site template, you change everything, and (as many people forget) the site template CSS is the last piece of CSS loaded by Joomla. Therefore, any CSS loaded by any Joomla extension (like Kunena or Eventlist) is subject to being overriden by your site template. The easiest way out of these problems is to remove as much unnecessary CSS from your site template as you can ... or find a better site template. It can take a few days to do those things.

Thank you once again.

Having had more time to read up and look into this, i understand what your saying.

Being new i can understand (on most occassions) where to look but it's another matter applying the fix!

The first few users that registered to the forum were listed as both users in the Joomla area and Kunena, too. This seems to have stopped and the new users are only showing in the Joomla list. No settings have been altered, though.

To be honest, from a CSS point of view, i wouldn't yet know what a good template from a bad one!
