Set Category Color

[memeadmin]

Do I need to edit the CSS file to specify colors for new Event Categories? It would rock if there was a way to define these colors in the Setup Tool - next to the name could be a standard color picker or even an HTML Hex # field?

Currently this can only be one via editing the CSS file. The ability to do this via the Setup Manager is on the wish list, but isn't expected to be released for some time.

Which CSS file will change the category colors?

[Brian]

The one in theme/default.

[Sam]

I made the changes and uploaded it, but it is not getting picked up. When I am in the event manager, and look at the category dropdown list, it still has the old colors.

[Brian]

Copy those CSS category changes (only) to the system theme too. That way they'll show up in the event manager.

That worked, except that I have added two additional categories and now show up with a white bk gr, not the 'category 10 & 11' that I added to the CSS.

Where can I tell it that I added more categories?

BTW, Thanks for your extreemely quick responses!!

[Brian]

In the Event Manager? I just check the code (in case I forgot to change that part when adding the extra categories), and everything appears correct.

What does the category part of your CSS look like? Can you paste it here or PM it to me?

[Brian]

Try numbering your categories like this:

.s21
.s22
...
.s29
.s210
.s211
.s212

The s2 remains constant.

Thanks! That fixed it.
