CT_RN hyperlinks are white?

How can i change this to behave as normal hyperlinks that are colored, site-wide?

As it is, I have to manually add color code to hyperlinks if I want users to visually notice them.

Thanks!

tehw1n, have you tried to change the CSS styling within the themes/CT_RN/style/style.css file? You may also need to look at themes/CT_RN/forums/theme_info.cfg.

in the style.css i see the following;

Code:

A:link{font-size:12px; color:#ccc; text-decoration:none}


A:visited{font-size:12px; color:#ccc; text-decoration:none}


A:active{font-size:12px; color:#ccc; text-decoration:none}


A:hover{font-size:12px; color:#ccc; text-decoration:none}

changing these effects the module/blocks links, which I dont want.
I need articles and forum posts to display hyperlinks as normal only.

in theme_info.cfg i see a few areas to change.. but so far no change has made any difference that i can see.

Code:

...


$CT_RN[0]['body_link'] = '606EC5';


$CT_RN[0]['body_vlink'] = '5493B4';


$CT_RN[0]['body_alink'] = '338888';


$CT_RN[0]['body_hlink'] = 'DD6900';


...

Don't forget to refresh your page a few times or disable browser caching as CSS is cached - changes may not appear immediately.

double checked to see if caching was the issue - used different browsers etc.
not sure what theme_info.cfg actually affects... in terms of the part i quoted at least. but links are still white.

seems like a setting somewhere making all links white.

you could just add a custom class for the links you want to your CSS, for example:

Code:

a.sample:link {color: #212121;text-decoration:underline; font-style: oblique}


a.sample:visited {color: #212121}


a.sample:hover {color: #DEA65A}

then to use just add a class to your link
<a class="sample" href="........

i appreciate the suggestion, but not really a viable option for my end users.

now that i remember i guess i made a couple changes to the links too:

find - style.css
A:link{font-size:12px; color:#ccc; text-decoration:none}
A:visited{font-size:12px; color:#ccc; text-decoration:none}
A:active{font-size:12px; color:#ccc; text-decoration:none}
A:hover{font-size:12px; color:#ccc; text-decoration:none}

replace with
A:link{font-size:12px; color:#ccc; font-weight: bold; text-decoration:none}
A:visited{font-size:12px; color:#ccc; font-weight: bold; text-decoration:none}
A:active{font-size:12px; color:#ccc; text-decoration:none}
A:hover{font-size:12px; color:#ffffff; font-weight: bold; text-decoration:underline}

the blocks and articles both use the same class so change one, change em both... unless you want to edit some more Smile

is the themes/CT_RN/forums/theme_info.cfg file the only place to change the hyperlink colors in forums?

sorry to pester this, but still curious if anyone can answer my last question.

alterations i made to theme_info.cfg didnt seem to have any effect.
