CSS issue Can't Post
I'm using AM2 in a sort of out of the box fashion, that is I have not changed default styles, AM scripts are just inside our html.
However somehow the article title fonts have changed to an unacceptable style and I am not good enough with css to find where to fix it.
Browse to our site www.villagenewsonline.net and you can see the article headlines don't look so hot.
Any help?
Thanks
Mark

Haven't heard any comment on my issue. I also submitted a support ticket yesterday. It seems like only big issue get an answer as I can see from other posts.

You know I bought into AM 1 and then upgraded to AM 2, so we've had it for quite a while. I'm not a code guy I just schlep newspapers. So AM was supposed to be for those of us who didn't know much beyond html. Now it seems like it meant for folks who don't actually need it.

Oh well.

Thanks... again

Hi Mark!

They appear to be showing up as plain links for me -- can you let me know how you'd like it to look?

What you're describing is basically a design issue, so it's a little more than what we can help you with, but if you get a non-Article Manager page to look the way you want it to, we can help you integrate that into Article Manager. :)

Thanks for responding.

Let me try again. We haven't changed styles at all since the product was installed by Ross on our old AM template. The article headlines/links were bold. If you look follow the link or say click on the sport category you will see the bolded headlines.
All I want to do is get the default style back, the bolded headlines like we have on every page except the index page that you see when you browse to our site.
I has to be a CSS issue but I can find it. Maybe my question to you is what would the default, original, as you all design it CSS file be called for the default index page? If I knew that I may be able to locate the code that allows me return my headlines to bold.
Thanks again,
Mark

Hi Mark,

It looks like your using a design based on the classic templates, upgraded from Article Manager 1, so the default CSS that we use now isn't going to be much help. Your CSS is here:

http://villagenewsonline.net/artman2/v141_images/common/styles.css

If you try downloading Article Manager 1, you can try grabbing the default from there and comparing it to your current CSS. Alternately, take a look at the templates (the dynamic code will be different, but the styles should be the same) and you can see what's different with your templates vs. the originals.

From a quick look (we don't actually support design issues, but I took a glance at your source code) it looks like you've removed the <span> that tells the browser to apply the "summary_title" style. By default, we have this around each title:

<span class="summary_title">

...and I didn't see that in your template.

When making template changes, you'll generally want to keep a "last known working" backup. This way, you can easily revert back to a good version if anything starts looking wrong, or compare the current with your "last known working" so that you can make sure you don't lose anything that you want. :)

I hope this helps!

Donna
