User group meeting

Our June Meeting will be 7:00 PM Thursday, June 23, at the St. Louis Artist's Guild, Two Oak Knoll Park, in Clayton.

We will meet in the Children's' Gallery on the second floor. (For those of you who came in April and May, this is the same area.) Enter the building through the side door with the ramp, and look for the stairway just ahead and on the right, a short distance inside. Go up one flight and then through the second floor doorway, into the main hall. Look for an open gallery area to your right at the end of this hall. That's where we will meet.

Wifi will be available, so bring your laptop.

At this point, we don't have an agenda, but anyone wanting to make a presentation, please shout out here.

Here's a map to the Guild: http://tinyurl.com/ycff7vq

Is anyone coming to this meeting? Since we have a small group, it is very helpful if you will either comment here, or use the sign-up form, so we can know if this is on or not.

So, who plans to make it?

I plan on making it, but I just found out I may have a soccer game. I hope to know for sure this afternoon and I'll let you all know.

My wife and I just had our second child a week or so ago, so I won't be in attendance for a while. The free time just got extra scarce as you can imagine, lol. I'm sorry to miss out, but hopefully it won't be too long before I can start making the meetings regularly again.

Congrats!

Congratulations on the new family member. :)

Sounds like we are on

It sounds like we have enough to consider the meeting a go.

In case you have never used the signup feature, be aware that it is useful both for meeting organizers, (which should be transitioning over to our new leaders, but they haven't jumped in and taken the reins yet) and it is useful for you, too.

If you sign up at the signup tab, you will get a reminder the day before the meeting. I find this very useful.

Great meeting!

We had a really good turn out this evening. It was good to see all the new faces. Glad everyone could make it!

Jean

Really good to see the interest

Mark EWERS's picture

Agreed, it was good to see so much new interest and discussion. Sorry I had to get on the road before the meeting was done but I had a promise to keep. :)

Doug, in case you need it, here is how line 105 of file style.css should read:

#primary-menu .primary-links {
background: url("header-b.jpg") no-repeat scroll left top #C0D5EB;  font-size: 0.79em;
}

Note it's good practice to copy Drupal's theme files to your own /sites/themes/ folder, rename it to something like mypushbutton, and modify those files rather than modify Drupal's own theme files. It's not a big deal with an older theme like pushbutton but because the /themes folder is technically part of Drupal core it's one you should replace during the update process. Naturally if you replace the entire /themes folder you'll overwrite your changes, which would be bad for the look of your site.

no problems on leave time

I don't think the meeting went much past the time you left. Everyone else was about ready to call it an evening, too.

Not quite working

Hi Mark- Thanks for the tip on the CSS file; however, when I modify line 105 to the above code, my image (header-b.jpg) disappears. My code now looks like:

.primary-links a:hover {
color: #000;
}
#primary-menu .primary-links {
background: url("header-b.jpg") no-repeat scroll left top #C0D5EB; font-size: 0.79em;
}
#primary-menu .primary-links h1, #primary-menu .primary-links h2, #primary-menu .primary-links h3 {
font-size: 2.3em;
color: #369;
}

Did I mess something up somewhere? Thanks again for the help.

Doug

Hi Doug, Just put everything

Mark EWERS's picture

Hi Doug,

Just put everything back the way it was and add the background-color modifier:

#primary-menu .primary-links {
background:url("header-b.jpg");
background-color:#C0D5EB;
font-size: 0.79em;
}

That should do it

I put everything back

EggPlant's picture

the way it was, adding in the background-color modifier, but still no luck. I even went back to the original code and I still don't have my image. I don't recall doing anything that would have messed up the image, but I must have done something. I'll poke around and figure this out. Thanks a lot for the help.

Doug

It looks like you removed the

Mark EWERS's picture

It looks like you removed the background URL. This line: background:url("header-b.jpg"); is gone. That's the line that causes your image to render as the background for that element.

If you replace line 105 in its entirety with the code in the previous post you should be OK.

As an alternative solution to rendering the color, you could also have the image repeat. Try replacing line 105 with this code:

#primary-menu .primary-links {
    background: url("header-b.jpg");
    background-repeat:repeat-x;
    font-size: 0.79em;
}

This will cause the image to repeat itself seamlessly to the right no matter how wide the browser window becomes. Because the background color for the image is constant the effect works really well.

What about the cache?

jpro's picture

Doug, are you working on this live online? If so, do you have caching enabled for the site? If so, you may need to flush that.

Jean

still struggling..

EggPlant's picture

Hi- I'm changing the style.css file on my local machine and uploading it to the web server. I don't have caching enabled, but I flushed it anyway and that did not make a change. I downloaded my live style.css file and I do see " background:url("header-b.jpg") ".

I tried the above repeat code but still my image is missing. Not sure what's going on. The image is definately there (http://www.knowledgeclips.com/themes/pushbutton/header-b.jpg) and the only file that I've touched in the past few days was style.css.

You need to close the

Mark EWERS's picture

You need to close the declaration on line 105 with one of these: }
Put it on its own line between this: font-size: 0.79em;
and this: #primary-menu

so that lines 105 and 106 look like this:

#primary-menu .primary-links {
background: url(header-b.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
font-size: 0.79em;
}
#primary-menu .primary-links h1, #primary-menu .primary-links h2, #primary-menu .primary-links h3 {
  font-size: 2.3em;
  color: #369;
}
