I am refering to the green arrowas you have on this forum next to Home | Forumt etc. On my forum all of the arrows are pushed to the left, they look like this:


–> –> HOME Forum etc.

| |


Can I turn them off ? or make them look like here ? I think this is due to not having enough space for the forum as my sidebar takes some space.

Sorry, Here it is: http://polishstudent.co.uk/sf-forum/

I have started to turn off some of the text using the
toolbox to make the forum look and especially fit to the space better. But if
you could give some direction what extra I could do? Maybe deleting some
picture files would help.

It will almost certainly be something to do with your theme CSS styling. One of us will take a look.

Open up your theme stylesheet and find this entry:


.entry img {
padding: 4px;
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
float:left;
display:inline;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
margin-right: 15px;
margin-bottom: 15px;

}


The problem, as usual, is with that 'float:left' statement. I would start by removing it and then take a look to see what effect it has on the rest of your site

:> You know what this means :>. I have changed this
line to /*float:left;*/. And the forum looks so much better. I will now start
turning ON some of the text in the toolbox. I checked my site it
looks like this change had no effect on it. Will keep you posted here. Thanks
for the quick solution.

Jobs for today:

- Next thing I will do is delete the phpBB forum :>

- Get your forum ready

- Translate some of the text to Polish and look at the
forum picture buttons

- Play with the forum’s colours.

- Go to sleep 24:00 or maybe later.

PS: The arrows look good now.

Sorry, I know this has been covered ad naseum and I know what the fix is too.

The breadcrumbs are all off to the left.  I found the .entry in the stylesheet and have copied it below:

/* Begin Images */ .entry img { float: <?php echo ($mandigo_options['no_text_wrapping'] ? 'none': 'left' ); ?>; margin: 3px 10px 3px 0;


I removed the left reference and it broke the entire site (though the breadcrumbs looked great).  Any ideas?

This is from your theme stylesheet? Weird.

A CSS directive starts with a class/id name followed by an opening brace. The follow the rules which take the form of a directive and a setting. The whole thing is then finished witha closing brace. In your case you seem to have php in there as well I'd start by removing everything between the opening and closing braces. See what happens. Always keep a copy though just in case.

It's the Mandingo theme (you can see it here to see what I mean).  It has a CSS stylesheet, but right up in the top of it, it states that it's only there so wordpress can update correctly and to use the style.css.php for any modifications.

I can upload the entire file (actually, can I?) for you to view, or you could download it yourself.  Either way, it's tricky.


I did what you suggested and now it reads .entry img {}.  Works fine.  I've kept a copy just in case something turns crazygonuts.  Thanks!

its does the same as an ordinary php file creating html…  the css file is in php but creates css when parsed by php… its invoked slightly different from the header file…  its a “normal” way of injecting php into css and pseudo changing css on the fly…
