Formatting CSS very difficult (for me)

[dax702]

Now that I have all the entries imported, I would like to change fonts, colors, etc. I am finding this very difficult to do. For example, I would like to have a different color background behind the body of the guestbook entry. Would also like to change the color of the text in the Name/Title area (dark background with light colored font for example), same with email address in that title bar area.

So far it seems like I am only able to have one color for the name/title and body, and a diff color for the date.

Maybe it's possible to change these things, but not for the average end user like me

there are some changes, you can do through parameters:
font color, font color for date, background color (under heading) and border color...

there cannot be hundereds of parameters for every item, it can be set by CSS... so if you want to change other items, look at CSS:
components\com_phocaguestbook\assets\phocaguestbook.css

or look at:
components\com_phocaguestbook\views\phocaguestbook\tmpl\default.php

this is a template for guestbook view, there you can add e.g.:

style="color:blue" into the html tag you want to change... e.g. row 179, add 'background:red' into the style attribute for background color of a content...

Other values: font-family, font-size, ... should be changed by your template... Phoca Guestbook doesn't set these values, so they are taken from your template

Thank you, this makes more sense now, I just have to become familiar with it more.
