I’m working with Perch (yes, still) and was wondering if I can use the navigation styles created with the FW css menus action to style the content for the navigation created by perch. Can these be externalised.
Or, how can I style the navigation that perch produces when a new page is created. Currently I just get bullet points and no styling.
Anything outwith FW and the styles it can produce and I’m stumped.
My point is that you need to know what type of element you want to target. Is it a list? What type of list? Does it use a class or id? So by looking at either:
The Perch template used to generate the menu.
or
The source code for the page.
You can determine exactly what you want/need to style and then we can help you target those pieces with the appropriate CSS.
Can you post the menu template or a link to a page that uses the menu?

I need to add styles before perch generates anything, its for the side nav I have. Its the targetting I’m being dim on.
Its an unordered list. Its the styling I’m interested in figuring out and how and best way that is applied.
Here’s a sample page: http://www .pkht.org.uk/fornavigaion.html The navigation along the top will remain the same its the side navigation that will be added by cms.
Realize this is probably pretty basic stuff but my brain works in a visual sense and things like this need to be BIG, BOLD and Underlined.
Can I take the elements that the css menu action created, put them together into an external style sheet and link ref from the head ? and that style sheet targeting a particular div ? Or recreate the styles of the menu; padding, dotted underline etc. ?
Or recreate the styles of the menu; padding, dotted underline etc. ?
I think recreation may be easier because the FW elements will be named differently to the CMS generated ones anyway - so by the time you have renamed them all you would be as well to recreate.
Can I direct styles to a particular div ? I assume so but…
_ I’ve lost all enthusiasm for this particular project, the momentum has gone and just can’t get back into gear. probably happens to us all at some stage:(
Its styled differently from the top navigation, its the left hand sub navigation or similar looking, as per above link. That’s cool news though, something to tackle at the weekend.
