How to format/edit forum/post integration

I couldn’t dig this up anywhere.

After choosing to have cross posting activated, the link:

Join the forum discussion on this post

 

appears at the end of the blog posts (and on the front page of my site for these blog posts).

My question is, how can I work with the formatting of this?  As you can see, it doesn’t appear to be displaying correctly.  I couldn’t find anything in the templates or options to work with this.

What kind of formatting are you trying to apply?

I cant get the retarded tinymce to show my code, so will try to explain…

Around the a href tag of the link is a div class="sfbloglink" style…

Try adding styling using that class and see if you can get what you want…  remember, you can also apply styling to the link (a href stuff) inside of that span…

That’s the thing, I can’t find the file to edit this.

Which theme template file should I be looking for this?  I thought it would be the page.php page.

You will need to define this class in your themes style.css file. I cannot do this in the forum CSS as the forum CSS is ONLY loaded when the forum is displayed so it needs to be added to your theme.

Editing PHP codes and theme files in the theme editor would be the long hard way to do this. Mr Papa hinted at the easy way.

in the SFP Manage Options page there should be a tab labeled LINK.

You can alter the location of the link (top or bottom of the post / topic) as well as the text of those links. Since it is parsed raw text you can also add any html or DOM tags you need right in the text edit box. SFP parses the text for the ICON tag (That lil’ chain link thingy, removable) before sending it (raw) to the display element.

Assigning a SPAN, DIV or IMG tag with style information inside that text box is totally acceptable. Define the tag with a CSS Class or CSS ID that is already defined in your blog theme is also acceptable and will make integration into your theme much easier.

Got it.  Figured out how to format that actual link. 

But how can I alter the positioning of the link itself.  Not moving it top to bottom which I see is an easy option to choose, but moreso moving it up (line break, etc.)

If you see on the front page of my site: http://www.searchmarketingguys.com, the link to the forum has an extra line brake and is too bunched up to the next post.  Is there a way to move this up slightly?

What CSS did you put in place for the ‘sfforumlink’ class?

Is there a way to have both?

Is there free standing code that could be included elseware to produce the link?

 

Thanks,

Sorry - maybe because it’s real early in the morning but I don’t really understand the question! Both what?

it seems to be your formating on the above post that is moving the link down… from this vantage point it’s dificult to see exactly where the problem lies… however:

moving the link to the top of the post (perhaps making it an IMG that you can work with) should do the trick…
