Need to make font bigger in part of template
 

The part of a thread's display for multi-page threads, on the top right and bottom right, that says "Page 1 of X, 1/2/3/etc"

I need to make that part more visible (larger).

I'm guessing the template that needs to be edited is: threadbit_pagelink correct ?

it currently has this line:

<a href="$address<if condition="$curpage != 1">&amp;page=$curpage</if>$address2">$curpage</a>

What/where would I add to it to force it to use a larger font size? (ie: 14pt)

Are you sure that is the template? Do this - - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code.

I come up with a different template on my site (if we are looking at the same thing - maybe we aren't?) and mine has class="smallfont" in the link, so why not just remove the class and it should be normal sized?

Ok I turned that on.

Style Manger - edit templates > Threadbit Templates > threadbit_pagelink

this is the contents:

<a href="$address<if condition="$curpage != 1">&amp;page=$curpage</if>$address2">$curpage</a>

I THINK that's it. I only posted that to help someone interested him helping me with my problem.

Anyway it doesn't matter - what I'm looking to do is change the font size of JUST the "Page 1 of X, 1/2/3/4" part that it shown at the topright and bottomright of each thread display page on thread that have multiple pages

Ok I think I'm overcomplicating what I want to do in my explaination of the problem...

The part circled in green (in the attachment) - I want to make THAT text *BIGGER*. Nothing else though. If I edit it in CSS Main to make that text bigger, it will make other text bigger as well.

I thought someone who knows PHP might reply " oh sure, you don't have to use the CSS Main entry for that font.. you can force it to use a specific font size by adding [code] to [this] template"

If after turning on the html template comments, you are being told it is the threadbit_pagelink template, then your style is different than mine. Mine (which is default) is shown to be the four pagenav (Page Navigation) templates and all four have class="smallfont" in the <a> tag and if I take it out, the fonts are all normal size. Or, I added style="font-size:14pt" to one of them, just to see what would happen, and the fonts got very large.

No no.. after turning them on, nothing happened. (nothing different that is). The forum still displays as it usually does. So I couldn't see what difference turning that option on did.

(this is for vb v3.6.8 - but I dn't think the templates that show this text have changed much over the last few releases a least)

Ok ok, I saw in another post you said to view the SOURCE of the page... ok.

It looks like it's in: <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: pagenav -->

I will check that now.

Ok, pagenav has this line in it:

<td class="vbmenu_control" style="font-weight:normal"><phrase 1="$pagenumber" 2="$totalpages">$vbphrase[page_x_of_y]</phrase></td>

I'm guessing this is the line that needs to be changed somehow so that a hardcoded font size is used??

You could just add the font-size to the <td> right there. That will just effect the part that says Page x or y though. You need to look at all four of the pagenav templates. I don't have a 3.6 board, so I don't know what the default templates are like for them, but if they have the smallfont class called, then try removing it as I did.

Yes there are 4 templates (wow that's a lot for a little piece of text! :) )

pagenav_curpage
<td class="alt2"><span class="smallfont" title="<phrase 1="$numbers[first]" 2="$numbers[last]" 3="$total">$vbphrase[showing_results_x_to_y_of_z]</phrase>"><strong>$curpage</strong></span></td>


pagenav_pagelink
<td class="alt1"><a class="smallfont" href="$address$address2<if condition="$curpage != 1">&amp;page=$curpage</if>" title="<phrase 1="$pagenumbers[first]" 2="$pagenumbers[last]" 3="$total">$vbphrase[show_results_x_to_y_of_z]</phrase>">$curpage</a></td>

pagenav_pagelinkrel
<td class="alt1"><a class="smallfont" href="$address$address2<if condition="$curpage != 1">&amp;page=$curpage</if>" title="<phrase 1="$pagenumbers[first]" 2="$pagenumbers[last]" 3="$total">$vbphrase[show_results_x_to_y_of_z]</phrase>"><!--$relpage-->$curpage</a></td>

(and the one I posted above this post).

Can you give an example of that one of these would look like to force a text size of say, 14pt ? (I don't know ANY html or php so I won't even guess) I see 'smallfont' listed there but I wouldn't even know what to replace it with.

Something like this:
See if that works.

Perfect! Just editing pagenav_curpag and pagenav_pagelink has it displaying MUCH more prominent now. Thank you !!!!
