Custom theme text aligning center problem

Djinn · Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2009 4:45 pm

I know this must sound basic to some. Since we converted to RavenNuke, our custom theme is aligning center instead of left like before the conversion. I tried to some extent and fix it. I have limited time and was wonder if anyone here would know off hand what and where to add the code to elevate this pest. Thank you in advance. Bill

Look in your themes style/style.css and find a line that looks similar to this

Code:

p
{
text-align: center
}

If you change center to left, it should change it for you. It may be under body or something else. Make a back up of the file before you edit it just in case something gets boogered up.

Thanx, Nuken. I tried that single property already and didn't work for me. I wonder if the ravennuke.css has anything to do with it. I'm pretty good with CSS and this has me threw a loop. I tried my theme in a PHPNuke site and it works fine. I just can't find what selector is overriding my style sheet. Weird

What is the URL for the site?

Make sure you cleared your Cache after making the change!

The site is closed for now due to it being hacked

try posting the snippet of html that isn't displaying text as you like... a link to what theme you are using might help too.

If you're still unable to resolve it, zip the theme and email it to me at

The whole theme is center.
We have our site up and running but CLOSED to the public for maintenance and repair.
Our old PHPNuke 7.9 was hacked and we converted to the now RavenNuke_v2.30.01.
Our theme has to many bugs now that we are running a tight and secure RavenNuke.
We haven't yet secured NukeSentinel.
Also, we don't trust PHPNuke anymore and never will use it again.
So, with that said, that makes us a little apprehensive to open the site just yet.

Ok.

well i looked at that theme for quite awhile, wish I could say there is a quick fix; but that theme has it's share of compliance errors... Sad

It would probably take more time than I can donate to get it fixed up.

Try the tidy html validator addon for firefox, and see if you can get some of the errors cleaned up. After you have that running you will see there are alot of broken font tags, which might explain why css changes weren't helping you. The CSS needs validation too, there is a syntax error in one of your declarations (" instead of ') and at least one element was defined more than once.

It's going to take some work and time to get this theme working right. If it were me I'd probably look at restyling one of the stock rn themes like fisubice (which is similar to setup of your theme) rather than fix this one.

If you don't have time, I'm pretty sure there are some good xmas themes out there that don't have these problems.. If memory serves me right I believe Jaded has one available.

Yeah, we knew that and that's why we wanted to just fix the alignment and get the site back up asap.
We have no reson to buy a theme since we all code pretty well.
I'll have to revamp another theme from scratch.
We did this theme 6 years ago, so alot has changed since then.
But, the theme is original.
Matter of fact, our members had giving us links to sites that copied our theme to some extent.
It's time we make a fresh theme.
Change is always good.

It sucks that our arcade no longer works.
I don't have time to work on the code for that to get the ('PAGE_GAME',) difine to populate right.
Maybe I can try to secure that code next.
Thanks for the second eyes, spasticdonkey.
I will keep you informed and show you the final results of our new theme!
Peace and love from up above, Bill

I modified the theme, Slash.
Slash is light and use's the default subSilver forum.
I made my own icon's etc. with Photoshop CS4 and Illustrator CS4.
We recoded to get the theme name to run the correct path's.
My arcade works fine here since the file path's are the same.
Now we have to get NukeSentinal to run right. That's a diffrent topic.
Thanks for all your help and support RN community.
A special thank you to Floren who was instrumental in helping us merge all the data from our old data base. Djinn
