Hello,
I noticed that a major update of EasyDiscus is available, I have a lot of changes and new styles in EasyDiscuss custom.css file, should I assume that all these changes will be lost?

Thanks,

Lorenzo
Hello Lorenzo,

It depends on what has been modified or changed. EasyDiscuss 5 is a major update and there will be structural changes. We have made a lot of improvements on the theme files as well as the core itself. You should look at the blog post regarding EasyDiscuss 5 from https://stackideas.com/blog/easydiscuss-50-beta-released

... ok I see, I can start again all my settings in custom.css file
In this new version is there a dashboard to adjust main settings as title color, font size, .... or everything must be written in custom.css file?

Hello Lorenzo,

It needs to be adjusted in the custom.css file. Unfortunately it doesn't make sense for us to add a settings for every single styling behavior of EasyDiscuss as that would only cause a huge bottleneck for EasyDiscuss

not for every style but at least main settings: title color, title size, text size, ... especially since your classes seem to be variables ...
For example, how do I change color blue which is recurring and used everywhere in the forum, I hope I won't have to target each tag to change the color?

With EasyDiscuss 5, we use variables in the css. You can override it using:


body .si-theme--light {
--si-ui-link: #000; // This changes the link colors to black
--si-primary: #000; // This changes all the primary colors to black
}

Hi! In your ED documentation, the "Creating Custom Template Overides" link is broken. FYI. I specifically want to learn how to make the titles and content font larger. It's very small.

Thanks! Image attached

Hello Brett,

Thanks for the input on this, we'll fix the docs shortly. At the mean time, you can refer to the docs at https://stackideas.com/docs/easydiscuss/administrators/templating/template-overrides

Can you provide us with the link to your site so that we could inspect? EasyDiscuss 5 uses "rem" units instead of "px" where it would inherit from your Joomla template. I believe your template is probably powered by an older version of Bootstrap where it fixes the font size for html elements to be at 10px

Here is a link to the discussion forum (in development) showing the text that I need to better format (image attached): https://lawyersinfocus.com/answers/do-you-have-to-report-inheritance-money-to-irs

Here is the link to the homepage showing a Easydiscuss module at the bottom where the text font size and color look small and doesn't match the rest of the site (image attached) : https://lawyersinfocus.com/

Thank you for any help!!

Hello Brett,

Since EasyDiscuss 5 now uses variables in the css, you can easily change the text colors using variables like this:


body .si-theme--light {
--si-basic--700: #888;
}


As for the module, you can download and upload the attached file into /modules/mod_easydiscuss_recentreplies/tmpl/

By the way, please start a new ticket if you still need help.

Brett. I had the same problem with very small text.

Go to Settings > Layout then make sure "Use REM sizes in CSS" is OFF.

It cured it for me
