The ask button on the timeless theme does not seam to be affected by changing its colour in settings - can you point me to CSS to change this colour?
Thanks
Hello Nick,

Can you please provide us with the Joomla back end access as well as the FTP access so that I take a look at the button on your site and provide your with the necessary codes, please advice. We need this information to determine the issue quickly.

Thanks:)

Hello Nick,

Sorry for the late reply. You can change the colours using the codes here
#discuss-wrapper .discuss-headers-wrapper .btn-ask {
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#777777,#dddddd);
}

Just change the #777777 and #dddddd Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Thanks but where do I find this code - there are quite a few .less files which seem to compile the css? Or can you create a custom over-ride css file?

Hello Nick,

Could you show us the link to you discussion page in your site, I am unable to use http://www.belkingreenroom.com.au/index.php?option=com_easydiscuss without hitting a fatal error, please advice?
You could just past it in at the bottom of your template.css in HomePageTemplate using FTP and it should apply.

Thanks

Sorry I mean't the site is working OK - however I am having trouble still trying to customise the button colour I a have updated in CSS by inserting css in my template however something is still over-riding my styles? I want to make a few style adjustments mostly to button colours ultimately but it seems extremely difficult to edit the timeless theme?

Hello Nick,

As you can see that there many codes for the changes, I had change the color to green. I had replace your css hack with the ones below.

div#discuss-wrapper .discuss-headers-wrapper .btn-ask {
background-color: #73D44C !important;
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#73D44C,#73D44C) !important;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,0 0,0 100%,from(#73D44C),to(#73D44C)) !important;
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#73D44C,#73D44C) !important;
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top,#73D44C,#73D44C) !important;
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,#73D44C,#73D44C) !important;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#73D44C', endColorstr='#73D44C', GradientType=0) !important;
border-color: #73D44C #73D44C #73D44C !important;
}

I've disabled stylesheet compiling - this seems to have fixed it - however I need a pointer to the place to customise the email notification styling if possible?

Hello Nick,

To edit your email notification please go to:

Backend > EasyDiscuss > Settings > Notifications > Email Template

Here you will find your email template and you could edit from there:

Great thanks,
is there an easy way to test email notifications - I've set up a cron and would like to test email formats for each?

Hello Nick,

You could replicate the cronjob by entering the URL with:
http://www.belkingreenroom.com.au/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron

Hope that helps, or just go to Backend > easyblog > settings > notification > and set email processing to Send emails on page load,
this will send the mail when you refresh on easyblog page.

Thanks:)

Sorry I'm on that page but I have no setting for email processing - is this in one of the templates? I'm receiving no emails presently?

http://www.belkingreenroom.com.au/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron doesn't seem to work - Im presuming this is because my Cron isn't working?

Hello Nick,

I'm sorry for the confusion and had accidentally given you the instruction for EasyBlog,
cronjob: http://www.belkingreenroom.com.au/index.php?option=com_discuss&task=cron
I tried running this but with a 404 error, this means your cronjob won't work, had you set up something to disallow this, please advice?

Please go to Backend > EasyDiscuss > General > Maintenance > Send email when the page loads to 'yes'
Screenshot --> http://screencast.com/t/KTG0Odav
This will send the email notification on page load.

Thanks:)

Hello Nick,

The outlook might gives this because it does not follow the content inside the COM_EASYDISCUSS_EMAILTEMPLATE_READ_THIS_DISCUSSION, you could try and set the HTML with width in the inline styling for example.

<a href="<?php echo $postLink;?>"
style="width: 300px; background-color:#FBB033;border:1px solid #FBB033;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;border-radius:15px;color:#000000;display:inline-block;font-family:sans-serif;text-transform: uppercase;font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;line-height:27px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;" target="_blank"><?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYDISCUSS_EMAILTEMPLATE_READ_THIS_DISCUSSION' );?>   »</a>


Thanks:)
