Hey Joern,

I am using this image slideshow plug in called FCG Featured Content Gallery on one of my test development blogs.

maaximummedia.byethost7.com

Here is their web page.

The Gallery works perfectly

On both my casino style theme and my Wynton Magazine theme

I have another blog using the same Wynton Magazine theme

same log in details

located at mmtest1.byethost22.com

and I have the exact same settings and it is not working. Can you kindly help me with this. Maybe I have to change the file permissions or something?

Omar

NEVERMIND I GOT IT TO WORK.

My question from yesterday was how do you divide the Diadema theme into a 3 column theme like Wynton. Is that even worth doing or just get a theme that has 3 columns?

Lastly, if you look at the site in IE, it is left aligned, and the 3rd colume is off to the right.

Can you help with this.

By the way, how would you add a boxed border around each post.

I know it has to do with

background: url(../images/pborder.jpg) no-repeat bottom;

and then top, left, right.

Like if I wanted to create a box around each post.

For instance, on my siteThe left column in index.php is controled by

Let's say some code inside of a Div="leftcolumn" region.

I want each post in the category of let's say Ammazing Articles to have a thick border on all sides

So would that mean

creating a div region and then
in CSS
controlling border-top
border-right
border-left
border-bottom
and then border: solid; border-width: thin; etc.

I want basically Joern,

to Divide my posts into square boxes and have a border around them.

first: from upper post about 3rd column off:
there is a div borderright around that div homerightcol which makes this problem

the styling: actually you put a div id or class around some content and give it a name, like there is div id 'homerightcol'
an id is allowed only once per view, div class you can use multiple times.

As you already guessed you make a div class 'frontpost' around each post, starting after

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="frontpost">

here is title and content as before

</div>

and closing before

<?php endwhile; ?>

do this in all columns (3x) in index.php

now you have each post in a div and can add in style.css

.frontpost {
border:3px solid #CCCCCC;
}

It worked perfectly, Now what if I wanted to create some cell padding or space from one block to another

So it it is not like

U
U

but

U

U

Actually I figured it out. I put a
after the </div> tag after the endwhile statement.

Also, Joern the white container that holds the content, is that usually called freefloat or something like that? I tried changing it's bgcolor to black and also the background from #CCCCCC to #000000 and it wouldn't do. You know I noticed that when I make a change to my style sheet there seems to be a large caching delay before my browser will pool from the server and not cache and reflect these changes.

Oh Omar, do not put <b> or <br /> or any styles directly in a .php file.
This is what a style sheet is for.

try
.frontpost {
border:3px solid #CCCCCC;
margin-top:10px;
}
to get a distance from box to box

with another background and bold font and some distance of text to border:
.frontpost {
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #EEEEEE;
border:3px solid #CCCCCC;
font-weight:bold;
margin-top:10px;
padding:5px;
}

margin is outside the border, padding is inside
anything valid would work, the style.css is full of samples..

or black background and white text

.frontpost {
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #000000;
border:3px solid #CCCCCC;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-weight:bold;
margin-top:10px;
padding:5px;
}

all styling should be done in style.css and not in the .php file

Hey man, I got how to configure the div frontpost. I mean the entire white background of the blog. Or the background behind the blog.

So you see the blog container is white. How do you make it black. I tried a CSS edit and it didn't work. Also, what if I wanted to change the soft of off blue background of the page which is the background of the blog to let's say white.

Thanks. I am getting wordpress customization/css/php so much faster by having you be my mentor. I promise you if I ever come there, I am taking you out for a big Bavaria Beer:))))o

OH GUESS WHAT.

I FIGURED IT OUT !!!I am getting this. Hey man, what is the best way to put a banner at the top. Would you code it in the main index file after div =header.

Or put a div in index.php

Like <div="mainbanner">

and then reference it and position it in CSS

using .mainbanner

Also, I want to create a hover effect for the divides that we made.

The boxes. I want when you go over them, for them to change into a light grey color.

So our div is "frontpost"

So in other words

<div class="frontpost"

So in CSS, could you do #frontpost a hover {

List your properties

like background-color:#CC0033;

}

Wondering.

By the way, I was wondering how come

sometimes I see in CSS for a div tag

Just some things

Like margin auto
Or float:right

What about the rest of the div's properties, where do you configure it
Like background
right margin
left margin
etc. You said you don't position in php files, so then how do you explain the div tags that are references in CSS with only 1 or 2 properties. Are they laid out with internal to the php style/div tags/properties or with html.

Quick question. I want t
