Hi

I want to know how to change module header properties(like background, font properties of  title of module).

In the module options, i could only change properties of contents of module which is displayed below the header.

Any suggestions or solutions.pls reply asap.

Thanks,

Swaminathan,

The module header is controlled by the container that the module is using.  You can change the container for a specific module through that module's settings page (in the Page Settings section, under Basic Settings, there is a Module Container setting).

To change the default container across your site, go to the Site Settings page.  In the appearance section, you can choose a Portal Container and Admin/Edit Container.

You can install new Containers though the Skins page (under the Admin or Host menu).

Finally, the containers live in the Portals folder, in the Containers folder under your specific portal (or the _default portal for containers not specific to a portal).  From here you can make changes or copy existing containers to make different versions.

Hope that helps,

Hi Brian,

As shown in one of your show case sites, www.gymnasticsmedia.com, I just want to change only the bg color  and font color of module header.

I don't understand, if i want a bg color of orange and text font color of white for all module headers, then what kind of container should i install.

Awaiting your suggestion asap.

Thanks,

Swaminathan.

If all that you want to change is the colors, it's probably easiest to just change the CSS file associated with your containers or skin, whatever is controlling the colors right now.  You can use FireBug for Firefox to inspect what styles are controlling the background and font color of your containers right now.  Then you can change those styles, or override them in your portal stylesheet.  Without being able to look at the container myself, it is difficult to see how to help you out more than that.

Hope that helps,

Hi Brian,

Using firebug i managed to change the module header properties. but bg color comes just behind the module title and not for whole header.

font color is coming fine.

To check what controls the border color of module, firebug does not shows which style sheet controls it.  Instead it just shows only the corresponding tag which

controls border color as shown below. Hence i could not change border color of any module in my portal since i don't know which style sheet controls it.

element.style {
border-bottom-color:#000000;
border-bottom-style:solid;
border-bottom-width:1px;
border-left-color-ltr-source:physical;
border-left-color-rtl-source:physical;
border-left-color-value:#000000;
border-left-style-ltr-source:physical;
border-left-style-rtl-source:physical;
border-left-style-value:solid;
border-left-width-ltr-source:physical;
border-left-width-rtl-source:physical;
border-left-width-value:1px;
border-right-color-ltr-source:physical;
border-right-color-rtl-source:physical;
border-right-color-value:#000000;
border-right-style-ltr-source:physical;
border-right-style-rtl-source:physical;
border-right-style-value:solid;
border-right-width-ltr-source:physical;
border-right-width-rtl-source:physical;
border-right-width-value:1px;
border-top-color:#000000;
border-top-style:solid;
border-top-width:1px;
}

Awaiting your suggestion for both issues that i face asap.

 

Thanks a lot.
Swaminathan.
