Background color on surveylist

Background color on surveylist was created by rschipull
I'm trying to change the background color on the surveylist page. Where at in the template.css file allows me to edit colors and fonts, or is that not the correct file I should be looking at. Initially, I thought it was the body.default section, but that didn't seem to work.

thanks,

rob

Survey list is part of the template that is marked as default in Limesurvey. So if you made a copy of this template, it won't have any affect if you don't mark this new template as default.

My copied survey template is marked as default in the "Global Settings" "General" tab. Is there somewhere else I need to set my new template as the default, and is the body.default section on the template.css file the correct area to make changes to the background color for the surveylist page?

thanks,

rob

This depends very much on your template. Each template might define the background color differently.

Rob, can you give a link to the survey list page so we can view the source and applied styles?

Cheers,
Tony Partner

Sure thing: www.testcodeskills.com/survey/

My goal is make the font, background color, header, and footer the same on this page as I have on my homepage.

Well, given that there is no header or footer in the survey list page, I'm not sure what you want but adding these rules to the end of template.css in your template will insert some of the blue and green from your homepage. ( manual.limesurvey.org/The_template_editor )

Code:
body {
    background: none #1E73BE;
    color: #FFFFFF;
}
 
table.innerframe {
    border-collapse: collapse;
    border-spacing: 0;
    border: 0 none;
}
 
.survey-list-table {
    background: none rgba(89, 188, 217, 1);
}
 
h1 {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

If you want to more closely mimic the homepage, you will need to modify surveylist.pstpl to insert those elements. You can either copy those elements and styles from your WordPress theme or use a tool like Firebug for Firefox to copy them directly from the source.

tpartner,

I think this might be exactly what I was looking for. I'll take a stab at implementing your enhancements below.

thank you very much.

Just added in your suggested changes and my surveylist page did not change. I'm wondering if this is related to my other post about my copied template (testcodeskills) not being recognized as the new default template.

With regards to inserting the header and footer from my wordpress page, is it best to just copy the contents of the header.php and footer.php wordpress files and insert into the surveylist.pstpl file, or would it be easier to just reference their location in the surveylist.pstpl file. Also, where abouts, in the surveylist.pstpl file, would I copy or reference:

<table class="survey-list-table">
<tr>
<td class="site-name">
<h1>{SITENAME}</h1>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="survey-list-heading">
{SURVEYLISTHEADING}
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="survey-list">
<ul>{SURVEYLIST}</ul>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="survey-contact">
{SURVEYCONTACT}
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="language-changer">
<p>{LANGUAGECHANGER}</p>
<!-- <a href=" www.limesurvey.org " target="_blank">
-->
<!-- <a href=" www.limesurvey.org " target="_blank">The Online Survey Tool Delete - Free & Open Source
-->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image: url({TEMPLATEURL}gradient2.gif);
}
</style>
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script language="JavaScript">
jQuery.ready(function(){ correctPNG(); });
</script>
<![endif]-->

Thanks again for replying to my posts. They have been extremely helpful thus far.

I just went in and took another look and the color changes have taken effect. Must have needed a few hours to take effect for some reason.

Any thoughts on the Header and Footer question?

thanks,

rob

Just thought I'd follow up to see if anyone had any ideas on my header and footer question.

Figured I'd give it one more shot to see if anyone had any ideas on my header and footer question.

Is it possible for me to just copy, and modify, the surveylist.pstpl file in a WordPress page?

thanks,

rob
