Forums

Hello,

I have just installed ChronoForums to try it out on a new site. Is it possible to reduce the size of the fonts for the topics and postings? At the moment it looks rather large and means you can only see a couple of postings on a page?

Any help would be appreciated.

Andy

Hi Andy,

Please post a link to your page here or through the "Contact us" page so that I can check it myself!

Hello akirkby and Max
Actually, I also think that the fonts post are too big. But in the css file I shrink the fonts, put another color on the background, and now I have a, yet simple, but very beautiful forum.
I think ChronoForum has the potential to get to be a beautiful and functional forum.

See my forum http://infortreinoapoioaotreinador.com/index.php/comunidade-registo-rendimento/forum.html

Thank you, Max

Congratulations!! Nice work!🙂

hello
can you tell us in detail what you changed in the CSS file
I like your fonts and background
Thanks

Hello, jaccies
With google chrome, when you click with the mouse to the right on an element of the site (text font, background color, etc..), You choose inspect to element. Thus it is possible to change (present file and line).
Example: The font-size of the topic is too big?
Click in the text with the mouse on the right side, choose inspect element and right side appear several information. Looking for information regarding the css forum.css. In this file in line 715 is (or was in my version):

. cfu-content p {
font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 1.2em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
line-height: 1.4em;
}

I changed the font-size to 14px.

path to the file css: /administrator/components/com_chronoforums/extensions/chronoforums/styles/prosilver/theme

Send you my css file (by pm) and you see the various differences between my file and original.

Best regards

That works very well, as long as you go into the directory using FTP as you can't change it permanently with Chrome
