Hi,
This is probably a very easy question to answer - How do I change frontend CSS?
I just installed phpWCMS today, and want a to develop a site with same layout as phpWCMS main site. I have the layout and template work done. I also replaced frontend.css file (into proper dir using ftp), but it doesn't seem to be taking effect.
When viewing source I get this...
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="phpwcms_template/inc_css/">
Getting the picture? How do I fix this?
By the way, I have already tried pasting the stylesheet into frontend css field - when i click 'save css data' button, I just get a blank page!
Also, my <head> info seems complete when viewing source, so what kind of info goes into that field (in the backend)?
Thanks for any help,
Mark

hello
you have in the backend the default css if you got admin menue!
and when you create an template you have a drop down menue where you can choose between print.css and frontend.css. always loot that there is choosen frontend.css!
and then...

thanks for replying.
In my "edit template" area, I have three dropdown boxes:
- css file
- html head
- js onload
However, there are no choices in these fields. When I click on 'css file' it is blank!
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
I have just double-checked all permissions. They are correct.
Question:
Should the folder called ' inc_css ' be set to 766? That is the way I have it set up currently.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark

if your frontent.css is in the correct folder and the permissions are correct then it may be that you have a syntax error in your frontend.css. this is unlikely to throw and error informing you of this but it is very likely to just stop proccessing the subsequent css data.
eg. if your error is near the top of the frontend.css thne non of you css will be processed, giving the appearance of no css file.
thanks

problem is solved. not sure what it was, but I had to clear out mySQL database, and start from scratch. Seems to working well now, and CSS is behaving in front and back ends.
Thanks pappnase ... you are very generous with your knowledge and time.
