A few remaining issues in member images galleries

Why do I want to do an if/else if I want to do is just permanently change the existing URL?

Home page CSS

Ning To Jamroom

Michael -

I am using a clone of the default ningja skin and I have not added a thing in the way of code that might be unique to my site that would create a new class that should not be found in the default CSS.

In the case of the Forum posts example I am not interested in changing the space between the name of the category and the next line but the line-height in the next paragraph. I want the spacing to be more consistent with the spacing of the text in the about.

One reasons for my confusion? index.css does not show up in the list of css files I can edit within the ACP.

Another source of frustration is that I am sitting in a hotel room with a really lousy Internet connection that makes working in developer mode worse than unbearably slow.

Home page CSS

Ning To Jamroom

I am struggling with getting the text formatting for the various panels on the home page to match more closely. My challenge is finding where the CSS is for each.

I am looking to change the line-height of the text in the Forum posts section (top left). The spacing needs to be a little looser. I can see where to change the size of the font (.normal in text.css) but if I try to add a line-height to that css rule it doesn't do anything (and there's no setting I can find in the ACP).

Similarly, I want to tighten up the spacing in the Activity feed. Where is the CSS for this? If it's in the ACP I can't find it. I am happy to work directly in the CSS files but it's not obvious to me where the classes are.

There are two different image sizes and three different text formats for Latest Profiles, Top Groups, and Upcoming events. I would like there to be one image size and the text formatting needs to be consistent.

Same for the Blog. The text is too large and I want to take everything down a size.

But it's not obvious where to make the changes.

Any help would be appreciated, I want to get this up and live ASAP and these are some of the issues that are keeping me from doing it.

I was away from my desk all day ... any thoughts?

Brian:

If so I don't see it.

There's a call to footer.tpl inside /skins/activeskinname/footer_profile.tpl and there is no stats section within the skin's footer.tpl file.

Going to the user profiles module there is no footer.tpl.

@brian -

One change I want to try on my site, just to see if it solves my issues. I am still testing the UX of the images gallery.

What I would like to do is modify the destination URL for the Images:XXX label in Stats. Right now it's going to the same place as Gallery. I want to change it to :

path/membername/gallery/membername/all

I don't want you to change it, I just want to know where to change it and how - so I can change it back if I don't like it.

TIA.

Smiley sources for module use

Brian -

.svg for smileys is not a priority at all. But, having seen .svg here and not on the list of supported file types it got me to wondering.

Here are some:

What about support for SVG files? I know that Chrome, Safari, and Firefox support them. They look pretty darn good and would take good advantage of the pixel height parameter.

I will take a look at this and get back to you. I understand not wanting to have different meanings across different skins.

Home Page Activity Inconsistency - Gallery

Ning To Jamroom

okay, ahhh ...

it's not in the Activity module, it's in the Galleries module. In this context, Activity calls Gallery to do something and is formatting the return.

There is no item_action in the Activity module.

I am going to guess that this is somewhere in the docs, but what are the respective divisions of labor between:

item_index
item_action
Item_detail
item_list
item_bundle
