Chronoforms overwrites my CSS!

Hi everybody,

I'm using chronoforms and unfortunately it uses its own CSS e.g. for headings and therefore overwrites my template's CSS.

How to hack Chronoforms so that it uses fonts and font-sizes of my template's CSS? Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Taiko

Hi Taiko,

None of the recent ChronoForms CSS should over-write your template at all. I think it's all limited to cf_ clasees.

You can turn off the ChronoForms CSS & JS in the Form Gerenal Tab - or edit the CF css files to remove the troublesome css.

Hi GreyHead,

thanks for your reply! You're right!

Disabling Chronoforms CSS is not an alternative bevause I just want my forms to use the same headers (h1, h2, h3) as my Joomla template does. Unfortunately e.g. h1 in a form seems to be formatted as h1.cf_text or div.form_element cf_heading

I crawled through the css files but did not find where to change that my templates css is used for these. Could you please hint me to the right direction?

Thanks a lot!
Taiko

Hi Taiko,

Disabling the ChronoForms CSS/JS is what you need to do - please set it to 'Off' in the form General Tab and see if that makes the difference.

Hey,

unfortunately this destroys the whole layout of the form. I just want to change/disable the formatting off h1,h2,h3 in the forms. Could you show me where they are specified!

e.g. H1 is not sans serif and looks very ugly...


Thanks in advance!

Hi Taiko,

As far as I can see there is nothing in the ChronoForms CSS that will affect the styling of any <H?> tag.

PS Note that the styling used in the Wizard is for layout purposes only and won't affect how your for is viewd on your site.

Hi GreyHead,

in the wizard, the text element can be defined as H1-H3. Obviously this is NOT the H1-H3 of my template. How can this be adjusted?
Have a look at ...

Thanks🙂

Hi Taiko,

Sorry but it obviously IS from the CSS of your template. Take a look at templates/rt_solarsentinel_j15/css/template.css around line 6:

#ff-solarsentinel h1 {
font-family:Georgia,Times,sans-serif;
}

You're so right! Sorry for my blindness and thanks for your help!:)

Hi Taiko,

No problem - it's really hard to see things like that.
