Posted hyperlink colour question.

[leftie]

How can i change the text colour of hyperlinks that users have posted without it affecting the colour of the forum link's buttons. All i have tried is to change the colour on the css options but like i said it affects forum links too.

You need to create new CSS classes:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Main CSS (in the menu) -> Additional CSS Definitions

Add this code to the bottom box:

.alt1_postbit, .alt1_postbitActive
{
	background: #F5F5FF;
	color: #000000;
}
.alt1_postbit a:link, .alt1_postbit_alink, .alt1_postbitActive a:link, .alt1_postbitActive_alink
{
	color: #22229C;
}
.alt1_postbit a:visited, .alt1_postbit_avisited, .alt1_postbitActive a:visited, .alt1_postbitActive_avisited
{
	color: #22229C;
}
.alt1_postbit a:hover, .alt1_postbit a:active, .alt1_postbit_ahover, .alt1_postbitActive a:hover, .alt1_postbitActive a:active, .alt1_postbitActive_ahover
{
	color: #FF4400;
}
.alt2_postbit, .alt2_postbitActive
{
	background: #E1E4F2;
	color: #000000;
}
.alt2_postbit a:link, .alt2_postbit_alink, .alt2_postbitActive a:link, .alt2_postbitActive_alink
{
	color: #22229C;
}
.alt2_postbit a:visited, .alt2_postbit_avisited, .alt2_postbitActive a:visited, .alt2_postbitActive_avisited
{
	color: #22229C;
}
.alt2_postbit a:hover, .alt2_postbit a:active, .alt2_postbit_ahover, .alt2_postbitActive a:hover, .alt2_postbitActive a:active, .alt2_postbitActive_ahover
{
	color: #FF4400;
}

Change the color codes appropriately.

Now edit the postbit:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Postbit Templates -> postbit or postbit_legacy (depending on which layout you are using)

Replace all references to alt1 and alt2 with alt1_postbit and alt2_postbit, respectively.

I thought what I posted in your other thread was OK personally.

It's definitely cleaner, if you don't mind editing your template.
