mailto form

Where can I edit the mailto form, when I choose email article it opens a form with the color 1 sheme.

thanks

Hi, yes but from Style1 (default) are only colors of buttons nothing more.

This mailto component is not overridden by template - so search here:
components\com_mailto\views\mailto\tmpl\default.php

As you see it uses:

Code: Select all

<button class="button" ...

to change it add style="background:YourColor"

or create your own override rule

thank you

There is something I still don't understand there is a /templates/gk_magazine/css/system/mailto.css but when I edit that nothing changes, after that I saw in the code the link to the templates/gk_magazine/css/k2.css, the elements are all there the button, text and border styles, how come it doesn't change the appearance of the mailto form?

And the reason why I don't understand that is when you say it is not overridden by the template and it still uses the #4d90fe and #fec64d on hover which are the style1 colors and those colors have to be written somewhere and no matter which file I edit changing those color when I inspect the element in chrome it still tells me in the CSS rules that in /index.php/component/mailto/:95 that the button.hover has a background #fec64d. Where is that specific file with that code in it?

after that I saw in the code the link to the templates/gk_magazine/css/k2.css, the elements are all there the button, text and border styles, how come it doesn't change the appearance of the mailto form?

"Mailto form" is for Joomla articles not for K2 items, probably that's why.


Why don't you used simple CSS based on ID from component

Code: Select all

#mailto-window button.button  {background:green !important}

This should work for buttons in popup Mailto form. Try it. Relax this is only button in place where almost nobody clicks

I'll give it a shot I know it's not important it's just the thing when something is bugging you , but at least I get it now, the thing between joomla articles and K2 items, makes sense now

thank you

Yes, K2 can be difficult to understand.
Probably soon Joomla 3.x will be so advanced that you will not need to use K2.
Read my article (comparison) --> http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... oomla-3-1/

Ok now I get the whole picture, I was also wondering why both and which to use.

Thanks
