Controlling text attributes for category headings
Hello, I would like to be able to control text attributes for category headings. I had a look at include_css.html but did not figure it out. I would specifically like to change the color of the category name (link) to stay black without changing the color of the forum names (link).

thanks
bob

Do you mean the Category name on the post pages, for example:

Home: Products: Gossamer Forum: Discussion:
Reply to: Controlling text attributes for category headings

or do you mean the name on the category listing page, for example:

Gossamer Threads Inc. [-]
Announcements
Site wide announcements relating to new products, updates, etc. This board is read only.

Thanks for the reply Jason. I am referring to the name on the category listing page. In addition to controlling the text, i am wondering which template creates that?

Hi Bob,

It's in the category_list.html template. Inside this template, there is a <%loop everything%> tag that loops through all of the categories and forums. The category name and link itself is about 6 lines below the 'loop everything', on a line starting with '<%if cat_depth%>...'.

Thanks again Jason. I can see where you are pointing me but after a few trial and error attempts I am still not getting it. Please help me with an example.

The link text before the category collapse/expand +/- text - I would like for that to be black instead of the color of the link text. No what I mean? In the example text you provided above this would be the Gossamer Threads Inc. part.

The text color of the cat links is changeable in include_css template. Look here:

a:link {
color: #1f1d6b;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}

The mouse over and visted link attributes are there too.
