Typography CSS & Bullet Lists in K2 articles

Just upgraded from J2.5 to J3 and installed this J3 template from the downloads section (not the quickstart package)

For reasons unknown, I see some additional id selectors have been added to the typograpgy.styleX.css files in the css/typography folder, which plays a bit of havoc with bullet lists in K2 articles.

At around line 700 (depending on which style number you are using), you'll see;

Code: Select all

ul.gkBullet2 li,
#k2Container .itemFullText ul li,
#k2Container .itemIntroText ul li {
   background: url("../../images/style1/typography/bullet2.png") no-repeat 0 8px !important;
}

With that code, any bullet lists in K2 articles default to /images/style1/typography/bullet2.png - a red cross

For anybody effected, just delete;

#k2Container .itemFullText ul li,
#k2Container .itemIntroText ul li

and problem is solved. I hope that might help someone. Perhaps devs might want to update the template file download (I just downloaded a copy of the latest J2.5 version of the template and I see the code is added there too).

Many users asking about default bullet styling in K2 and possibility to use typography inside K2 items that's why you see this additional selectors.

Thanks for the reply bkrztuk. Yes, I can understand the requests for a default list styling for K2 articles. It could be a bit of a pain to add the class manually for those who don't know what they're doing and a default image makes life easier.

The problems it cause as I see it though (just my personal opinion and for what it's worth):
- the current default bullet being a red cross looks more like an error message than a bullet list. Perhaps make the default a green tick or a standard bullet marker rather than a red cross?
- the default K2 bullet overrides your template's built in typography in K2 articles. I really like Gavick typography, it's very comprehensive, looks good and I use it regularly. Suddenly though, I found it wasn't working in K2 due to the default image being set. It meant I had to remove the code to get it working correctly. That seems sort of counter-intuitive to me?

Just my opinion of course and I could be at odds with the rest of the Gavick community....? Anyhow, thought I'd mention it in case others might have been wondering why they had a red cross next to their content instead of a bullet marker and couldn't work out why?
