Link color in own modul

New Member Joined: Nov 10, 2006 Posts: 4

Well first sorry if this is not the right place to put this but i think its theme related....

I have created an own module thats really just a table list of drops in the World of warcraft game (not all just some)....
The name of the drops are links to thottbot so people can get all stats on the drops , there are blue and purple items and i need some links therefore to be blue and some purple...

I have tried almost everything i can figure also scanned the forum for clues but well i dont get any wiser Smile

Can say im newbie to php yes html isnt any problems and ive tried to do the table with html then use a module creator but then i end up with blank page not even theme showing...

I saw somewhere in the forum that the theme can override my colors i put in my module so i need a way to override the css file in the theme...
Perhaps there is a way to use an own css file for my module only....

Would be very happy if somebody could explain how to accomplish this and have in mind im newbee so pls tell me what code goes where and so on....

Thx

Well could do that but it means making an account for you as webmaster since only they can access this module and putting it in punlic here dont think so really.

And i dont think the question was so hard for an good php coder really so you have to see it (well you dont see it) Smile

because text is formatting as all text in all site that goes for link color to.

I will try to explain again oerhaps im hard to understand.

1. Want this to use purple as link color now its white as all text in site.

<td><a href="http://www.thottbot.com/?i=51822" target="_blank">Aegis of the blood god</a></td>

Tried to put link statement in body tag (dont work)
Tried
. " <td><a class=a.menu\" href=\"http://www.thottbot.com/?i=51822\" target=\"_blank\">Aegis of the blood god</a></td>"

and in style.css is a A.menu:link,active,hover and so on... dosnt work
Do i have to call the css file in the header of my module ? then how is the code for this.

2. made a module with nuketools module creator (coded page in html) then module creator did the translation.....

And page are working except i tried to call the style.css file in alpha theme i have tried so many ways i found in forum but nothing works.....
So what i really want is somebody to tell me how to call the style.css and pull a nother class from there that will give me my color.

Hope this clear things or il just give it up. Smile

there are a few ways of doing this..
most obvious one is to change the hyperlink in your css to #FF00FF

or change the link itself like this :

Code:

<td><a href="http://www.thottbot.com/?i=51822" target="_blank">


<font color="#FF00FF">Aegis of the blood god</font></a></td>

Try this

Code:

<td class="bluelink"><a href="http://www.thottbot.com/?i=51822" target="_blank">Aegis of the blood god</a></td>


<td class="purplelink"><a href="http://www.thottbot.com/?i=51822" target="_blank">Aegis of the blood god</a></td>

Then in themes/YourTheme/style/style.css add the following lines to the very bottom.

Code:




.bluelink a:link,.bluelink a:active,.bluelink a:visited {color:#134475}


.purplelink a:link,.purplelink a:active,.purplelink a:visited {color:#660033}
