[SOLVED]

Turns out the template file needed "fordesc", not ".fordesc". I'm not sure why but it appears to be fixed.


I want the forum description text to be a different color than the class it used, but I wanted that class to stay the same in order to use it elsewhere. So this is what I did:


/{STYLE}/theme/colours.css

I added:


Code:
.fordesc {
   color: #FFFFFF;
}


Then in...
/{STYLE}/template/forumlist_body.html

I changed:

Code:
<dt>
               <!-- IF forumrow.FORUM_IMAGE --><span class="forum-image">{forumrow.FORUM_IMAGE}</span><!-- ENDIF -->
               <a href="{forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}" class="forumtitle">{forumrow.FORUM_NAME}</a><br />
               {forumrow.FORUM_DESC}
               <!-- IF forumrow.MODERATORS -->
                  <br /><strong>{forumrow.L_MODERATOR_STR}:</strong> {forumrow.MODERATORS}
               <!-- ENDIF -->
               <!-- IF forumrow.SUBFORUMS --><br /><strong>{forumrow.L_SUBFORUM_STR}</strong> {forumrow.SUBFORUMS}<!-- ENDIF -->
            </dt>


To...

Code:
<dt>
               <!-- IF forumrow.FORUM_IMAGE --><span class="forum-image">{forumrow.FORUM_IMAGE}</span><!-- ENDIF -->
               <a href="{forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}" class="forumtitle">{forumrow.FORUM_NAME}</a><br />
               <div class=".fordesc">{forumrow.FORUM_DESC}</div>
               <!-- IF forumrow.MODERATORS -->
                  <br /><strong>{forumrow.L_MODERATOR_STR}:</strong> {forumrow.MODERATORS}
               <!-- ENDIF -->
               <!-- IF forumrow.SUBFORUMS --><br /><strong>{forumrow.L_SUBFORUM_STR}</strong> {forumrow.SUBFORUMS}<!-- ENDIF -->
            </dt>



Yet the text on the forum won't change color to as I specified. I refreshed everything and cleared the cache but the text won't turn white.

Am I missing a step?

Have you tried it this way?

Code:
<dt>
               <!-- IF forumrow.FORUM_IMAGE --><span class="forum-image">{forumrow.FORUM_IMAGE}</span><!-- ENDIF -->
               <a href="{forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}" class="forumtitle">{forumrow.FORUM_NAME}</a><br />
               <span class=".fordesc">{forumrow.FORUM_DESC}</span>
               <!-- IF forumrow.MODERATORS -->
                  <br /><strong>{forumrow.L_MODERATOR_STR}:</strong> {forumrow.MODERATORS}
               <!-- ENDIF -->
               <!-- IF forumrow.SUBFORUMS --><br /><strong>{forumrow.L_SUBFORUM_STR}</strong> {forumrow.SUBFORUMS}<!-- ENDIF -->
            </dt>


Not sure if changing div class to span class will work but worth a try I guess.
