Should make clear to dumbmos like me who never read anything properly that the template to patch is the one at .../components/com_fireboard/template/default/joomla.css NOT the Joomla site template css or the one you can reach via Fireboard so it's joomlaXplorer or ftp time folks but quick and painless.

Thanks. Now lets hope this gets included in the next release

So this is wrong?

And I have done all that. I have put that in every joomla.css I could find. Both the one in the com_fireboard and the default css for my template...I'll say it again! "IT'S DOES NOT WORK" Maby it's just me..or perhaps somehow I've done something wrong.....

Probably done something wrong.

This code can go in EITHER the CSS file of your Joomla template OR your forum.css of your FireBoard template. I don't think there is any file actually called joomla.css anywhere so I don't know what you're modifying. The Joomla template CSS file is usually called template_css.css.

Restore your clean versions of all the CSS files you have altered and try adding it FIRST to the active Fireboard template (forum.css) you are using.

What version of FireBoard is this anyway?

This is 1.0.4 fireboard.

I have clean css files now. I added that code to forum.css in components/com_fireboard/template/default and nothing happened.


Now, there is a joomla.css file in the same directory
components/com_fireboard/template/default

should I try that now?

Are you using the default template right now?

yes, with joomla style enabled

P.S. I have to have joomla style enabled..or find some way to make one of the templates match exactly my template.

Log out, clean your browser cache or open the site up in another browser to see if there is actually a change or not.

Nope, nothing happened. Shall I try the joomla.css now? or what?

The only other thing I can tell you is to install the web developer plugin for Firefox and use it to identify that area. FORGET that the joomla.css file even exists. It does NOTHING. Once identified add it to your forum.css file and make it any size you want.

Using Joomla style is not really recommended as it does not take full advantage of the template. My suggestion is to check the stickies and learn how to modify your templates so you don't have to use that option. Using the add-on I mentioned will help you do that.

Your Joomla template is obviously over riding SOMEthing in your FireBoard CSS file. That fix should have worked.

the funny thing is that I do have the web-dev plugin.....hmm...I'll go look again.

Apparently the text field is called:

thats what it identifies as in the html through put anyway.

In forum.css I found this

I changed it to 800px but nothing happened.


Do you think I could find someone that would help me mod one of the FB templates to match my joomla one?
