CSS Styling

Where do I need to go to changing the CSS styling for the GYM sitemap and rss page? I have changed the colors in the CSS file in the GYM folder and in the style folder and nothing changes, even after I clear the cache. I am not sure where else to look that I haven't looked. Any ideas?

-Thanks

Well, if you are using prosilver, or a prosilver based theme (GYM only supports prosilver by default for now), you just need to activate the "load phpBB css" option in both RSS and sitemaps ACP. This way, the sitemap and rss will take the same colors and images as set in the forum without any further change.

In case you'd like to use a custom css for the feeds and / or sitemaps, you could deactivate the use of phpBB's css and mod the gym_rss.css and gym_google.css style sheets directly in the prosilver's theme's path in case you are using it or in the gym_sitemaps/style/ in case you are using another theme.

You can as well mod the .xsl files if you want to alter the layout, it's pretty close to regular templates.

I have the load phpBB css" option activated and it doesn't follow my color scheme for my site. I am using a prosilver based style.

have you uploded the GYM style files in prosilver_se/ too (the one supposed to go in the prosilver/ dir) ?

Yes I have...

I went back and re uploaded the css files and it takes my CSS but it doesn't look like it is suppose it. What template files control these pages? I tried to edit them and they didn't change even after refreshing the cache.

So, what needs to be done now that your site's css is used, is to implement the html code change you as well made in the xsl template. The xsl file used should be the one in your theme's template dir.
The cache to clear once done is the one in the gym_sitemaps/cache/ dir.
You may as well need to clear you browser's cache once done.

I understand about clearing the cache.

I am just not sure I follow what you said below. Can you eleborate a little more on this? I don't see a xsl template.

Well, your theme is based on prosilver, but there are more than only CSS tweaks in between the two, some html is involved in the templates as well.

So you need to copy the prosilver XSL templates in your theme's template dir and then, implement the required html code changes in them, in order to match the html code from your them better.

I assume that most of the difference will be to be found in the header and footer part, but there could as well be some in the body part.

Once you'll have edited the new .xsl templates, clear the cache to see the result.
