About, find field, font size, image insertion, etc

posts: 28

I am a newbie , and really tried hard to resolve the following issues, with no success:

  • I'm ok with setting the home page (a blog page in my case), but don't know where to set the "about" pages.
  • Would like to remove the "find field" just over a blog page.
  • Would like to reduce the font size of the module titles, but have no success so far. I tried to to add something in the cusyomized CSS (as for site title) but didn't work
  • do I have the possibility to say to Tiki to send events once a day instead that on the moment ?
  • I tried to insert a new image using the icon in the blog toolbar: load a picture in the library, but the docum says to then just click on the picture icon and the the upload window will close and the photo will be at its place


I need some help to make another stepsmile.

Thanks

Gaston

Simply create a new Wiki page named "ABOUT" See http://doc.tiki.org/wiki

Simply disable the "ALLOW SEARCH" option for the blog. See http://doc.tiki.org/blog

You'll need to use CSS for this. See http://themes.tiki.org for help

You can specify Watch emails on a daily basis. See http://doc.tiki.org/watch

Thanks for helping.

First, let's say that I already made the house tour. But it is a big house with a lot of furnitures, and a lot of notes about it...

For the search, I searched through the modules and disable everything (just to see). The find box over the blog post is still there.

For the "event watching", what I'm trying to find, is if it is possible to receive a daily message with all the events in one message instead of one message for every event.

For the font size, I already added in Look and Fell, Miscellaneous section, custom CSS:

  1. sitetitle {

font-size: 26px;
}

  1. moduletitle {

font-size: 14px;
}

It works well for the site title, but not for the module title. I probably missed something ?

If you know, please share your knowledge with me and later I will do the same with others.

Thanks,

Gaston

To make sure that we're on the same page, please specify which Tiki version you're using.

The Allow search option for the blog is on the page when you create the blog. Please see the docs, here for details.

Yes, enable the Daily Reports option. Please see the docs, here, for details.

I'm not sure which theme you're using, but normally, the moduletitle is enclosed in a SPAN element. As such, you'll need to use something like:

Copy to clipboard
span.moduletitle {font-size:14px}


There's a lot of good material on http://themes.tiki.org (and http://twessentials.keycontent.org) on how to customize a theme.

Just a note about the module title size: all themes as far as I know use h3.box-title to specify the size. (the .moduletitle span was added at some point but I'm not sure what function it's supposed to have).
