RE:CMS Menu configration

Hi Wassim,

1. The part of your CSS could look like (example taken from the sample Corporate Site):

.horizontalCMSMenuItem, .horizontalCMSMenuItemMouseOver, .horizontalCMSMenuItemMouseDown,
.horizontalCMSMenuHighlightedMenuItem, .horizontalCMSMenuHighlightedMenuItemMouseOver,
.horizontalCMSMenuHighlightedMenuItemMouseDown,
.horizontalCMSMenuItemMouseUp, .horizontalCMSMenuHighlightedMenuItemMouseUp
{
font-size: 10px;
font-family: "Arial";
padding: 0px 10px;
background: url(../App_Themes/CorporateSite/Images/topMenuItemDivider.gif) no-repeat top right;
}

.horizontalsubCMSMenuItem
{
white-space: nowrap;
display: block;
font-size: 10px;
font-family: "Arial";
}

.horizontalsubCMSMenuItem, .horizontalsubCMSMenuItemMouseOver, .horizontalsubCMSMenuItemMouseDown,
.horizontalsubCMSMenuHighlightedMenuItem, .horizontalsubCMSMenuHighlightedMenuItemMouseOver,
.horizontalsubCMSMenuHighlightedMenuItemMouseDown
{
padding: 5px 3px;
min-width: 81px;
white-space: nowrap;
display: block;
font-size: 10px;
font-family: "Arial";
}

2. Please see here: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/creating_bizform_control.htm

You could add a field with Field type: Drop-down List and add options or assign a SQL Query for the selection of options for this Drop-down list.

3. You could add a Content before and after in web part Properties of your editable image.

The Content before could be:
<a href="facebook.com ">

and the Content after:
</a>

Best regards,

RE:CMS Menu configration

Hello,

Please find my answers listed below:
1) You can adjust the placement of the logo or text by adding content before in the properties of the given web part.
For more about this topic please see the following links:
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/common_web_part_properties_and.htm
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/modifying_web_part_behavior.htm
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/overview7.htm

2) For changing colors and other css settings please see the “CMS Site Manager -> Development -> Css Stylesheets”. The default stylesheet is the “Corporate Site“ stylesheet.
For more please see this link:
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/css_overview.htm

3) This you can change the same way as in point 2). You can find the css class of the given web part by searching for the phrases from the “properties” tab, “content before” and “css prefix” textbox in the used stylesheet.

4) You can change the size of the menu by modifying the css class of this menu. It is done the same way as in point 2,3.

5) This is also a css property. See the upper points.

6) You can use a page template. You just create a page template and create pages using this page, so you don’t have to design the whole page 30-times. For more about page templates please see the following link:
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/creating_a_page_template.htm

7) This is also a css and page template issue. Please check the points 2-6.

FYI: A simple css tutorial can be found at the following address: http://www.w3schools.com/css/
I would recommend you to go through our tutorial of creating pages in Kentico. I think it may help you to improve your skills. The tutorial can be found at our devnet page at http://devnet.kentico.com/Documentation.aspx .

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

RE:CMS Menu configration

Hello,

Ad 1) Could you please try following syntax?
into Content before: <div style="text-align: center;">
into Content after: </div>
You can alternatively try <div align="center"> and </div>, but it is the same.

Ad 2)
Unfortunately I am not sure what particular web-part you mean, but i suppose you want to format Editable region title property. For red color, size of 12 and arial font you can insert following string into this property in your web-part properties: <font color="red" size="12" font-family="Arial">Some your title</font>

Best regards,

RE:CMS Menu configration

hi, thank for the reply

yesterday, i wrote the syntax for the title region web part as you define above, i define it for about 28 pages,in my project, but the problem is when i wrote the syntax in this form: <font color="red" size="12" font-family="Arial">

the syntax work probably and normally but the problem is in font size which we define it as the size of 12 but unfortunately the font appears larger than the 12 its it appears asif we state is as a size of 18 or 20,

so, what can we should do in this case???

best regards,

RE:CMS Menu configration

Hello,

It seems, your region uses more different css settings, which would override the default text-height. Could you please check the following locations, if there aren't any other style settings regarding the font height?

1) The used style sheet in CMS Site Manager -> Development -> Stylesheets?
2) In the layout in the given page?

FYI: You can use the Firefox browser and the Firebug plugin to inspect css settings on a page to find all styles, which are applied on the given region. For more information see the following link: http://getfirebug.com/
