CSS help wanted for page nodes

[Simon R]

Jake - as you nicely helped my CSS issues for the portal - how do I apply the same to a node page created with this add on ?

I can't find the right name to reference in the extra.css

Incase you have slept since helping - the node page is http://www.ippn.co.uk/forum/index.php?pages/Qualifications/ and the styling you helped with is on the home page

Also I must be being dim but the site sidebar doesn't show on the node page

 

[Jake Bunce]

See this thread about adding a sidebar to page nodes:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/add-sidebar-to-pages.26353/

For the categoryStrip styling, add this code to EXTRA.css:

.pagenode_container .categoryStrip
{
	@subHeading
	@categoryStrip
}

Or you can add on to the existing CSS you added before, like so:

.EWRporta_Portal .categoryStrip,
.pagenode_container .categoryStrip
{
	@subHeading
	@categoryStrip
}

That will enable you to use the categoryStrip class in your page node like you did on your portal.

Thanks Jake - I'm slowly understanding all this and NEARLY was on the right path

Love your addon - so simple ....

One last question (well for now) should I be coding all the page html in the node Template html box - or somehow calling a template I create in teh template list ?

You can do it either way - I use both on my site.

Thanks Brogan - I'll leave it as is - as coding template hooks may be a recipe for disaster

 

[Paul B]

You don't need to code any hooks, just create a template, add your HTML to it and then just do an include in the page node HTML field.

I do it this way for my "home" page as there are up to 10 separate sections, which I have created as individual templates.

Thanks - its a steep learning curve but one for idiots like me to get to know

 

[Simon R]

If I create a Node page can I display the contents of that page in a thread ? I've got the Parse HTML add on installed

 

[Paul B]

You could embed it as an iframe.

BTW, I split the posts off from the add-on thread as they're not really related to that.
