Warning, this is for ADVANCED user's ONLY!

On lefora, we give admins acess to the CSS so they can change the look and feel of their forum. We have plans to improve this interface greatly, but in the meantime, you can type in CSS overrides in your admin panel to change your style sheet. We'll post some hacks here.

Warning:  Any chances you make to your CSS will be lost when you change your theme.  So keep a copy of it.

How do I access my CSS?
Click "Forum Admin" -> "Themes" -> "CSS"




How do I know what values to override?
We recommend using the 'Firebug' plugin for the Firefox webbrowser.  Here's a tutorial.


What future changes do you have in the works for the CSS editor?
We'll probably show a read-only version of the CSS above the input box so it's easier for developers to work with.

Changing the Color of Unread Posts

So in the above example, the text "#xposts .unread .header {background:#FFFF88;}" will alter your forum to highlight the header of all UNREAD posts to make the header yellow.  You could play around with changing this color or loading an image in the header for unread posts.

You could also change the color of the entire background of the reply by adding the field: "#xposts .post.unread {background:#FFFFFF;}"

Is It possible to make a css sheet that overlays the whole forums? as long as all of the links are still there?

you would still have to override our stylesheet and paste those values into your CSS editor, you couldn't just 'replace' it with a new one.

chief, will changing the CSS setting make it easier to navigate from the different posts. Now when you try to go to the last post to reply it takes you a random page. Say I am at all catagories, I click on the fresh post showing, it doesn't take me to the last post. Can that setting be changed ?

no, we're working on improving that, currently, it takes you to the top of the topic, and you will have to scroll down to see the new posts (we can't just take you to the new posts cause of indented threads, new posts could exist in multiple areas within the topic.

Well actually you have to go up and click newer to get to the page to scroll down.
However we have found by looking at all topics, then clicking on the highest number, it will take us to the page with the last post. I t would be nice if when one click , on any of the topics, from any place you can read a topic would take you to the last post to reply

you want to add a flash widget (i don't think cbox is flash), a good flash widget is www.chatango.com, also meebo.com offers meebo rooms.

Here's how to embed flash widgets:

you can't put a chat room between your topics, you can put it either on the sidebar, or directly in a new topic, by pasting the flash into a new topic (use the media editor, with the 'embed pictures/embed video' buttons.

This way you'll have a new topic (maybe labeled 'Chat') that ppl can visit, make the topic sticky so it's always at the top, you can even put it into multiple categories.
