Change of Forum Appearance |
Forum in Ucoz system is made as tables and users have no access to the HTML code of these tables. This is so because the majority of users don’t have enough knowledge to edit HTML code correctly. That’s why forum structure and form are constant, you can only change forum appearance/design. Forum has three templates: 1. General appearance of forum pages.
These three templates + CSS permit to make an individual forum and preserve all uCoz functionality. The part of CSS that refers to forum:
Code /* ===== forum Start ===== */ /* General forum Table View */ .gTable {background:#E1E1E1} .gTableTop {padding:2px;background:url('http://src.ucoz.ru/t/999/3.gif') #559B36;color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;height:21px;padding-left:10px;font-size:11px;} .gTableSubTop {padding:2px;background:url('http://src.ucoz.ru/t/999/8.gif') #FFFFFF;color:#559B36;height:20px;padding-top:8px;} .gTableBody {padding:2px;background:url('http://src.ucoz.ru/t/999/4.gif') bottom repeat-x #FCFCFC;} .gTableBody1 {padding:2px;background:#FFFFFF;} .gTableBottom {padding:2px;background:url('http://src.ucoz.ru/t/999/4.gif') bottom repeat-x #FCFCFC;} .gTableLeft {padding:2px;background:url('http://src.ucoz.ru/t/999/4.gif') bottom repeat-x #FCFCFC;font-weight:bold;color:#559B36} .gTableRight {padding:2px;background:url('http://src.ucoz.ru/t/999/4.gif') bottom repeat-x #FCFCFC} .gTableError {padding:2px;background:url('http://src.ucoz.ru/t/999/4.gif') bottom repeat-x #FCFCFC;color:#FF0000;} /* ------------------------ */ /* Forums Styles */ .forumNameTd,.forumLastPostTd {padding:2px;background:#FFFFFF} .forumIcoTd,.forumThreadTd,.forumPostTd {padding:2px;background:url('http://src.ucoz.ru/t/999/4.gif') bottom repeat-x #FCFCFC} .forumLastPostTd,.forumArchive {padding:2px;font-size:7pt;} a.catLink:link {text-decoration:none;

Quote a:link {text-decoration:none; color:#559B36;} "link" subclass is used to specify styles of hyperlinks which a user haven’t visited yet Quote a:active {text-decoration:none; color:#559B36;} "active" subclass is used to specify styles of active hyperlinks Quote a:visited {text-decoration:none; color:#559B36;} "visited" subclass is used to specify styles of hyperlinks of the pages, already visited by a user. Quote a:hover {text-decoration:underline; color:#000000;} "hover" subclass is used to specify styles of hyperlinks with the mouse cursor over
Quote td, body {font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size:8pt;} td – this means that we specify settings for the element <td> (when we specify settings for this element in CSS all tables will have these settings on default) Why don’t we write this in separate lines
Quote td {font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size:8pt;} body {font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size:8pt;} but in a new line? Because it’s easier. If you want to set different styles for these elements then just separate them. You can also add one more element if you need:
Quote p, td, body {font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size:8pt;}
Quote form {padding:0px;margin:0px;} input,textarea,select {vertical-align:middle; font-size:8pt; font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica;} here we specify styles for the elements <form>, <input>, <textarea>, <select> It is not necessary to write styles for each element separately: I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.

1) In you browser click View -> Source (How do I view the source code of a web page (in different browsers)?. If there is no separate class for the element then add it to the template (via Control Panel) and to the CSS with the necessary parameters. Example: Open CSS of the forum and find "posttdmessage" in the section /* Posts View */.
Code .posttdmessage {padding:5px;font-size:8pt;} We can see that only padding and font size are specified. We can change the size and add color, and the class will look as follows:
Code .posttdmessage {padding:5px;font-size:10pt;color:#CCCCCC;} I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.
