Changeing colours of text/links in templates

Im trying to change the colour of certain links, and text, but not all, in some templates.

Ive tryed changeing <smallfont> to <smallfont color="#000000">

for black but it doesant work. and <smallfont color="black"
that doesant work either.

I have no clue how to change some but not all link colours.
Maybe <a href color=#FFFFFF> or summit link that.

Admin CP -> Styles -> Modify

You can edit the link color(s) there

I know you can change all the link colour's there but I dont want to change all, just some.

And is the line Im putting into the template's to change colour of select bits of text correct?

Well, you could add some extra tags in your css file. For example, you could have <smallfont> for one color and <smallfont2> for another color.

That would do the trick for sure.
When you say my css file do you mean the cp.css file?
What should I put in this to sort a differant color for smallfont2?

Thanks for all the help.

Well, the easiest would be to simply create a new css entry. In your "headerinclude" template, you could include the following:

NEWFONT {BACKGROUND: none; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000}

Then in your code you can use <newfont> as a tag for a black font.

Remember, you'll need to add other elements, such as font size, etc.

Hope that helps!

Here's the code example for that. Add a new set of styles in your header, and you can also have seperate colors for the links, and hover:

.leftcolumn { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000}
.leftcolumn a:link { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #000000}
.leftcolumn a:active { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #000000}
.leftcolumn a:visited { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #000000}
.leftcolumn a:hover { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #FF0000}

Then its just a <font class="leftcolumn"> THE TEXT</font> of the text you want.

This is the code for the left nav links at www.shivasite.com if you need a example.

Thanks a lot for the help guys.

I added a new font for the white text to make it black and it works.

Just have to sort the links now, Ill try adding that code now.

I cant get it to work.

All I need is an alternate link color that can be used anywhere on the forum. This alternate link should be white and the hover color red. Im a noob at this.

What should I put in the headinclude template and how would I use the alternate link rather than the standard?

Your forum looks really cool by the way shiva. Must of taken weeks to get it looking like that.

Do this:

1. Go to your headerinclude template in your Admin Control panel

2. Search for

.thtcolor {
	COLOR: {tableheadtextcolor};
}

3. Just after that and BEFORE the </style> tag insert the following

.new {
	COLOR: red;
}

4. Change the color (currently "red") to whatever color you want.

5. Save Changes

6. Go into any template and change the start of any link tag, aka <a href=> to the new class to see the new color

<a class="new" href=...>
