Newb Question

[elmer166]

I have downloaded and Installed the latest version of Pligg with this Template. I had no problems installing and everything runs fine.

My questions are,

How can I change colors

How Can I change the text at the top left where it says Pligg

And how can I move around and delete some of the stuff on the right side bar.

I know I am a newb so please be gentle.

thanks

Scott

How can I change colors

Two possibilities:

1. If the colors are part of an image, delete the image in main.css (you'll have to find the location where the image is "defined" in main.css), create a new image with colors you like (in photoshop, or whatever), place it in you image folder, and dragg & drop it (<-in PSpad, anyway, otherwise define the path to you image yourself) to the same position as the old deleted image definition.

It should look something like this between the {} :

#header {background:url(../images/headerimage.jpg) no-repeat 100%;width:1024px;height:154px;position:relative}

(In this example I created an image in Photoshop, 'headerimage', to go underneath the title area 'header' of my pligg site).


2. Most of the time, in pligg (Molio-beat, anyway), the colors will not part of an image, but are defined in main.css with a color code (for instance the code for black is '#000') you can change them by simply changing the color code (you'll find the color code translators in programs like PSpad).

Example:

#header {background:#666}

Here the background of your header will be a shade of grey. Change the code to, for instance, '#c00', and you'll get a shade offff....red, if I'm not mistaken. Most of the background colors are defined in main.css. However, some background colors are defined in the file 'catcolors.css'. So make sure to look there as well. (same goes for the colors of borders).

Really, the hard part is finding the location where what you want to change is defined in main.css.

how can I move around and delete some of the stuff on the right side bar

Simply delete or change the order of definitions like these in you sidebar.tpl file:

{assign var=sidebar_module value="misc_links_1"}{include file=$the_template_sidebar_modules."/wrapper2.tpl"}


I hope this was of some use to you,
Good luck!
