list item images and cms

Freeway
1

Hi,

I’m going around the block (bend) trying various permutations without success.

I’ve previously used the ‘list item images’ (and items fix) action with success (great) but now have a situation were I need to style bullet points with cms (pulse). The list item images action when applied to a div doesn’t as I see it transfer info to the external style sheet… So there’s a disconnection.

Basically to sort it I need to ‘See’ what goes where. class; before/head, after/head, up the /head and were on a style sheet do I put the info, does it matter on a style sheet. etc.

Help appreciated.

The best way to do this is to make a new blank FW page with your list and the action applied.

Then look at the styles created in the published HTML and if you have named your items distinctly you should be able to see exactly the CSS created.

Once you have that CSS you should be able to add it via Page>HTML Markup to your FW page in the before end head slot to create your effect.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for that, good idea recreating on a clean sheet.

This is what I get:

  • yes
  • no

    • But as its the client creating the list with pulsecms I need to have it in a separate external style sheet I think and that’s were I don’t know what goes where. What goes on the php page as a markup and what goes on the style sheet.

Still struggling with this through my ignorance.

I can get a bullet point to appear on my page with the relevant graphic but I cannot get the list to respond accordingly. This is cms so the client is creating the bullet points, the list.

I’ve added this: ul {list-style:url(Resources/bull2.gif);} to the freeway created sheet1.css. Its knowing how to instruct the list to play ball that’s beyond me.

I’m sure its simple if you know what to do:-o

You need to know the name of the container that the list will be in and create a style to target your ul within that ie

#mycontainer ul {{list-style:url(Resources/bull2.gif);}

Post a link to an example page

Hi Dave,

Thanks for persevering.

I was actually working through that permutation, trying it out on the freeway style sheet and the pulse style.css without any result. I’m missing something, besides brain cells.

When I did the wee list test I got this in the body:

  • So assuming I have the correct ‘code’ inc. : #textareatop ul {list-style:url(Resources/bull2.gif);}

    ???

    Enough !

    Shall try again in the morning.

Hard to tell without seeing the page

Hi,

Here’s the test page with the bullet points: www.holidaycottagebute.co.uk/bptest.php

I’ve added: #textareatop ul {list-style:url(Resources/bull2.gif);} to the style sheet (created by FW) and nothing else.

what next apart from a coffee ?

SORTED !!!

Answer is to paste the ( #textareatop ul {list-style:url(Resources/bull2.gif);} ) into the page between styles tags. I also have it on the styles sheet.

Now I imagine that I could create that in the styles palette so it will go straight onto the page ?? Not sure how I would place it there otherwise ?

Anyway, I know what to do now. phew !

Page>HTML Markup in the before end head section

<style type="text/css">
<!--
#textareatop ul {list-style:url(Resources/bull2.gif);}
-->
</style>
