Hello.

I am very new at this and trying to figure out some final details. i have been reading forum after forum but just dont get these two things, please help!

Favicon:
i have uploaded my favicon.ico file into my sample folder and don't know what to do next without my index getting messed up and losing everything.
i am editing with textedit and opera.

also

Moving the build with indexhibit to my contact page. i pasted the code for it

  • Built with Indexhibit
  • to the contact page, but then all of my non link text on that page turned green and i want the contact info to remain white. and then im supposed to delete that code from the sample index.php, but all i see there is:


    Built with Indexhibit

    please please what do i do?

    Hi,

    1. I´m pretty sure you can just put the favicon in you root folder and it will work.

    2. You have edited in your css :

    1. body {
    2. font-size: 15px;
    3. font-family: "Arial";
    4. color: #1A9613;
    5. }

    Adding the green color there means ALL text which is not overwritten by some other rule will be green.

    Because you have a black site you could change that to white:

    1. body {
    2. font-size: 15px;
    3. font-family: "Arial";
    4. color: #FFF;
    5. }

    and then make your section titles green like this:

    1. #menu ul li.section-title {
    2. margin-bottom: 20px;
    3. border-top: 1px solid white;
    4. padding-top: 20px;
    5. margin-top: 20px;
    6. color: #1A9613;

    Hi, just upload the .ico file to your "root" folder, not into your theme folder ;)
    the rest is just some css in your style.css file.

    You gave all the text a green color like this: body { color:#1A9613;}

    To get what you want it´s better to use some lower selectors.:

    body { color:#fff;} change this
    .section-title{color:#1A9613;}
    #num1{color:#1A9613;}

    okay great thanks for the help.

    i have loaded the favicon.ico in the root folder but i'm still not sure if the favicon is working. wouldn't it show up to the left of my site name in the tab browser of my chrome?

    also how would i make the navigation arrows in my slideshow green without changing the links in the menu to green?

    Thank YOU!!!

    Hi, yes your favicon should be there but I can´t see it... http://zachdoleac.com/favicon.ico
    To make the arrows green try this:

    #p1 a {color:#1A9613 !important;}

    zdoleac / 2011-06-15 11:14:31   

    so that made the arrows green on the first picture of every slide show, but as soon as I hit next, the following arrows revert back to being white. I put the code in my sample style.css. was that correct?

    is there any type of code or something that I need to include to make the favicon.ico work?

    thanks for your help

    Hey,
    for the arrows change #p1 a{} to #d-image a{}

    for the favicon, as G470 mentioned it doesn´t seem to be in your root directory, try to move it there and see what happens.

    zdoleac / 2011-06-15 11:48:20   

    the arrows look great!

    so i am using cyberduck as my ftp uploader. i was under the impression that the root folder is where i would also see the "stats" folder and the "indexhibitv070e" folder. is that correct? because there is nothing that actually says root.

    thanks again.

    ... yes you´re right. this is your real root folder.
    But if I get you right, your domain points to the folder "indexhibitv070e" so this folder is your "root folder" for the domain. Just put the file inside the "indexhibitv070e" folder.

    This thread has been closed, thank you.
