NEW:

There is a new Profile field - MyCF CSS - go to your UserCP Profile to customise this.

Use CSS to customize the look of your MyCF Homepage - you can change the color of links, add a background image - anything you like!
Examples of CSS tags to use (you can cut and paste and change the HEX values:

body {background: #FFF000}
page {background: #FFF000}
a:link {background: #FFF000}
a:hover, a:active {background: #FFF000}
a:visited {background: #FFF000}
.tcat {background: #FFF000}
.theader {background: #FFF000}
.tborder {background: #FFF000}

If you want to use a image background instead, replace the body line with this (you can use an image that you've attached to a thread):

Body{background-image:url(type the image url here)}

Leave it blank for default.

Ok, I'm not seeing some of these do anything
.tcat
.theader
Also looking at the raw HTML, I don't even see these two tags in the page.

I keep breaking the navagation bar looks (Top & Bottom)

It appears to be re-using one of the other tags.
Current CSS Tags I'm using is

Body{ BACKGROUND: #bbbbff}
.time{FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; color:#ff2002  }
.alt1 {BACKGROUND: #888CCC; }
.alt2 {BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://www.gw4y.com/pgp/CF_PGP_Background.jpg);}
.fieldset {BACKGROUND: #A5A2BD; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; color:#257525 ; }

EDIT: Reduced it down, but still getting the gfx glitch ???

Mmm... it's not hard for me to do at all... You could add CSS to the custom HTML bit of the homepage...

How should I code the <div tags? Any recommendations?

After thinking about this I went and build a test page to make sure this would work. If you are still considering making the page more positionable, here are my recommendations.

Each table below the header should be wrapped in a new <div>, with a unique "id=" attribute. The 'id' naming convention is not important, as long as each one is unique. We can peek at the code to get these id's.

The table on the right of the page, (containing: CF avatar, Latest 5 CF Guestbook, and CF BIo) would have to be recoded into three distinct tables (nested OK). Right now they are a single table.

The entire page from the end of the header down to the bottom, including the footer, should be wrapped in a separate <div style="position:relative;">. This will ensure that the new CSS will not interfere with the header on top of the page. Position 0,0 would actually start after the header.

The footer will need it's own separate <div> with unique 'id'. This will allow the user to reposition the footer back to the end of the page. Without it, the footer would float up as the other <div>'s are repositioned.

These changes would make all of the contents re-positionable.

The user could also choose to prevent one or more of the <div>'s from displaying by setting it to display:none. Then the user would have complete control over what displays and what doesn't.

Erwin, just want to say thanks, I know the level of time and dedication you must invest into CF!

I have a realy cool backgroud but i can't see my font now can you change the color and size of your font?

thanks erwin! relay cool though

I made it easy to customize your MyCF page in your UserCP, Profile section.

You just go there and enter the appropriate background color, link to image, font type, colors, and your MyCF page will automatically be customized!

Go ahead and try it! Check mine out as an example:

I can't figure it out. The only thing I see is that I can only edit it using code. I don't know hardly any code at all so I can't do it. I have to just leave it the way it is.

Click on your own MyCF link, then click on the link to edit it in your UserCP, Profile, and just put in the info - no need to use HTML unless you want to customise the HTML section of it.

Okay I figured it out. Sorry about that Erwin! By the way, don't know if you noticed or not but there is a bug about the background image. I posted about it in the Bug Reports section. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.

 

[Black_Ivy]

I was really surprised to look at one of my posts today and see a MyCF link!

I tried it out, and it works great. Thank you Erwin, this and everything else about CF is brilliant.

 

[pgp_protector]

argh, I lost all the CSS settings I had
time to go find new settings all over

 

[VictorianVelvet]

Okay, this may seem like a silly request, but in the profile you can put in backgrounds and colors, etc. There is no way to check the page from there to see if the colors are working well with the page. It takes many links later to check to see if your page looks okay. Maybe I'm just the impatient type.

You did a fantastic job with the profile/homepage updates... you da man!!!!!

 

[cobweb]

Gaaah!!!!!!!

I'm stupid. I can't get the text colors to change at all. I was thinking about making my CF page match my genealogy webpage, but it isn't working very well.

I've entered the HEX codes for the text colors and I am still left with black, purple, blue and aqua no matter what values I enter.

Any HTML that I use in the HTML section only affects the bottom of the page.

 

[Mayflower1]

Help me, help me, help me, help me!!! Ahhh!!! I am pulling my hair out, losing my mind!!! How do you do image backgrounds? Where do you get the URL codes!!!

 

[Mayflower1]

Ahh. I actually figured it out with people's help!!!

That happened to me too until I entered the Number sign [#] in front of the code like this #FFFFCC

Erwin,

You probably already know this, but this is just to confirm that the health bar is now the appropriate length in the Firefox browser. Thank you.

 

[Mayflower1]

Now, Where do you use those codes? Anyone know?
