Need Help with a V3 arcade Mod

Evil Dave · 01-08-2007, 05:07 PM

I downloaded and installed the Champion Podium Mod for the arcade and it works fine. Only problem is the color on the podiums for the winners names needs to be changed. How and where do I do this? I have searched everywhere for the line to edit the color of the text, but cannot find it.

Can anyone Help?? I tried to get help on the V3ARCADE website but nobody is responding, and I don't think there is any support there anymore.

Thanks

Yes the link is evildaveshouseofhorror.com/forums/arcade.php

Please bear with the speed of the site we have been having some problems with the host.

Thanks

p.s. I did a search in all the templates and in the arcade.php file and couldnt find it. Maybe I was just looking at the wrong thing.

They have hardcoded that ugly yellow background into the template.

Code:

<td style="border-left: thin solid rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right: thin solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" bgcolor="#ffffcc" height="40">evildave </td>

Just do a search for the following in all the templates that came with it and delete every instance.

Code:

bgcolor="#ffffcc"

Or change the background color to something that goes with the text more if you want that podium look. The text is default vBulletin. You can overide it but I would suggest changing that ugly yellow first.

Ok I will give it a try

Thanks Very Much for your help

I tried that and no go. It is not finding it anywhere. When I got it, the instructions told me to edit the Arcade.php File which I did, and the Arcade Main template which I did. For some reason its not pulling up the code I need to edit it.

Any other Ideas?

Thanks

Ok it worked with my name, background is now black. Tried to search for it again and it didnt come up. so how do I change the other parts of the podium to a different color?

thanks

Looks to me like you got it. The same template is most likely used for each square. Though changing them to black made them blend with the outer border. You may want to play with the color till you like one and it still has a definitive border.
