I have a requirement to white label (specifically changing header logo/menu/font colors) our existing asp.net web forms site per each customer. Customer will be able to pick the colors they want for the site.
The site is a portal and consists of multiple web sites. I don't want to use themes or different master pages because we don't have the bandwidth for restructuring the app heavily. As far as I can see I have a few options. I want to know if there is more or someone knows any other better/best way to do this. The first two options may be similar but one could be better performance.
Have a dummy css class for all the "color changing" sections - say customColor.
Examples
<div class="menu customColor" />
<div class="header customColor" />
menu and header css classes contain all styles but the color.
Programmatically add color to this css class when the master page loads. Pseudo code : Page.Header.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("<style type=""text/css""> .customColor { color: blue }");
Have a asp.net ashx handler return whiteLabel.css that contains customColor { color:blue }; and add this css to the page dynamically.
It is not that many elements in every page that needs to change. You can have a function in each page that sets the appropriate colors from the database.
I assume my options pretty much are dynamically changing css or programmatically setting colors to individual elements.
Also I would think it may be better to do option#1 than #2 because does css get cached on #2? This will make it difficult for companies to change colors.
Does all your pages use a common MasterPage?
If so, then I have once used setting a class for body or may be a div wrapper like:
<div class='<%= GetCustomClass() %>'>
<div class="menu customColor" />
<div class="header customColor" />
</div>
GetCustomClass is a static method that will return say class1 or class2 based on customer's selection.The css will look something like:
class1.customColor{color:blue;}
class2.customColor{color:red;}
Hope that helps.
Let's rule out option 3 also, it may fail to reskin the page if a javascript error occurs during the page load.
That leaves option 1, although you might want something a bit more readable:
<style>
.menu.customColor { color: <%= menuColor %>; }
.header.customColor { color: <%= headerColor %>; }
</style>

I'm looking for the method to put a label and text in a div, within a class.
I have this html:
<div class="awpcp-subtitle">Contact Information</div>
<a href="https://adsler.co.uk/wp-user-test-dashboard-
2/awpcp-reply-to-ad/13/madame-bovary/">Contact
Anonymous</a>
<br/><label>Phone:</label> 7576XXXXXX
<br/><label>Location:</label> London, UK
</div>
<div class="showawpcpadpage"><label>Price:</label>
<strong>£ 3.00</strong></div>
<div class="fixfloat"></div>
I want to put the label 'phone' within a div class and, if necessary, the text after it in a div class.
Basically the aim of this is to be able to select the label 'phone' and the text after it, and give it a background color.
I don't know where I would insert it in given html, or even what it would lool like?
Im guessing somewhere after 'Anonymous,'
so:
Anonymous</a> div class="Phone:"><label>Phone:>.
</label>
and then continuing with existing code:
<br/>label><Phone:></label>7576XXXXXX
<br/>..........
First of all, I would suggest you go through some basics of HTML. This would be a good start: https://www.w3schools.com/html/
Now coming back to your question, you could enclose it like this:
<div class="awpcp-subtitle">Contact Information</div>
<a href="https://adsler.co.uk/wp-user-test-dashboard-
2/awpcp-reply-to-ad/13/madame-bovary/">Contact
Anonymous</a>
<div class="phone"><label>Phone:</label> 7576XXXXXX</div>
<div class="location"><label>Location:</label> London, UK</div>
</div>
<div class="showawpcpadpage"><label>Price:</label>
<strong>£ 3.00</strong></div>
<div class="fixfloat"></div>
Here, I have removed the <br> because you were using it to make that Phone and Location display in separate lines. Since we are using <div> tags are block level element by default, the contents of it will be displayed in separate lines.
So, now you can change the color of those two boxes like this:
.phone{
background-color: red;
}
.location{
background-color: yellow;
}
And lastly you asked about how to do this in Wordpress. As you may already know Wordpress uses Themes, you have to check which one is your current theme (the one that is running in your website). This can be checked via visiting Wordpress Admin Panel --> Appearance --> Themes. You will see the current active theme's name in that page. Now you have to use an FTP Client or the File Manager in your cPanel to access the following the location: /wp-content/themes/yourthemename/ in your server. Here, youthemename is the name of the theme that you noticed in the previous step.
Once you are in that folder, you would see a bunch on template files. I would suggest taking a close look at each file if you are unsure. Or its better you get a basic idea of Wordpress first before editing it. Take a look at this: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/
Once you find out the template file has this HTML code you wanted to edit, simply open it and make the changes and save it. You are all done. If you are using any Cache plugins in your Wordpress, you might need to purge the cache if you don't see the changes when accessing the webpage.
That being said, my writeup might give you a small confusion. That's why I suggested to have a look at the basics first. Otherwise you have to hire someone who would be ready to do that specific changes for you.
Hope it helps.
I would like to modify quite a large amount of styles on a page through a customisable panel. When a user clicks an option, the content on the page will completely change based on whatever was clicked.
This cannot be a scenario where a class is appended to a parent element and use CSS/LESS to adjust accordingly. For this scenario (for requirement reasons) the CSS needs to be internal on the angular component HTML.
Is it possible to have a value in the component TS like this:
myNewColour: "red"
That can then be used in an internal style sheet that's inside my angular component.html like this?:
<style>
.myContainer { background: myNewColour }
</style>
<!-- HTML Content -->
<div class="myContainer"> Stuff </div>
Any help with this would be appreciated! :)
"Internal in the HTML template" is called inline style ;) Apart from that, you can use ngStyle like so
<tag [ngStyle]="{'background': myNewColour}"></tag>
EDIT if it makes your code too long, what you can do is simply
let customStyle = {
'background': this.myNewColour
};
And in your tag, simply
<tag [ngStyle]="customStyle"></tag>
super css noob here.
I'm using a wordpress plugin called visual composer which allows you to name a Row (it's like a block element) with a Row ID or a Class name. I'm trying to have it so when a user hovers over this row and when they click it, this clicking will simply take them to another page within my website.
It allows for an area to have the css for this class or ID that I can associate with the tag, but after searching I'm either searching the wrong thing or can't find it but I am looking for the css that would allow me to do this!
You can't only use css to link to other page, you need javascript. For example the class name is linkPage:
document.getElementsByClassName('linkPage')[0].onclick = function(){
location.href= 'some url...'
}
<div class="linkPage">linkPage</div>
You'd need to inject a bit of JS into the theme that listens on window for a click with the desired ID or class, then call window.location.href = URL or something of that nature.
CSS doesn't have the power to cause browser location changes.
CSS
CSS (Cascading Style Sheet), as its name states, defines a set of rules and properties for an HTML page you wish to style (stuff like colors, size, asf); and user interaction (even as minor as pointing to an URL) are not part of its scope.
Basic
Talking about a giant like WordPress and a strong plugin such as Visual Composer, extremely old and standard features like link/image/table asf are always to be found. You may have a look at visual composer's "Raw HTML" feature (https://vc.wpbakery.com/features/content-elements/) in combination with a regular "a" tag (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp).
Editable
Asking how page linking can be achieved through editing of a CSS file, then you might as well look into different editable content types of the plugin - such as HTML or JS.
Click on table row
Best approach to have table cells/rows clickable would be by the use of JavaScript; see Adding an onclick event to a table row
Link using jQuery and Javascript (easier method):
$(".link").click(function(){
window.location.replace('https://www.example.com');
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
Link using pure Javascript (harder method):
x = document.querySelectorAll('.link').length;
y = 1;
while (x => y) {
document.getElementsByClassName("link")[y].onclick = function() {
window.location.replace("https://www.example.com");
};
y++;
}
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
I am using ng-view to render dynamic data on my page. When the page loads, if I use static html I get this (top):
When Angular loads the page the data is there but it's like the element is still empty (bottom).
If I make even the slightest adjustment in Chrome dev tools, the items snap into place but I cannot get them to prefill without using CSS to make them static sizes, which doesn't work because text is different sizes. The elements in question have CSS of inline-block.
As you can see in this screenshot, I have tried two ways of populating the data, both with the same result:
<div class="cd-rating" ng-class="caseData.scoreClass">
<span class="score" ng-bind="caseData.adjustedScore | number:0" ng-cloak>N/A</span>
<span class="verdict">{{caseData.recommendation}}</span>
</div>
Here is the what the HTML looks like in the browser:
<div class="cd-rating medium" ng-class="caseData.scoreClass">
<span class="score ng-binding" ng-bind="caseData.adjustedScore | number:0">349</span>
<span class="verdict ng-binding">review</span>
</div>
If I hard-code that HTML identically, then it renders perfectly. It's only when Angularjs renders it that the elements are collapsed, appearing if there is not content.
I would also like to add that I am using RequireJS and manually bootstrapping the app instead of using the ng-app directive, in case that matters.
Any ideas on how to make the view fill the elements?
EDIT: Here is a video that demonstrates the behavior: http://youtu.be/zTwv-o6mWRM
I am not able to figure out what exactly you mean by the "..data is still there but the element is empty.." - the only issue that I find with the rendering by AngularJS is that the "Review" (button?) is overwritten with the number.
Looking at your code (which, as #Wingman4l7 suggests needs to be posted in the question rather than as a image), I see that you are using bindings to define a class dynamically. Instead, can you use the ng-class directive and see if it resolves the issue?
That is, replace:
<div class="cd-rating {{caseData.scoreClass}}">
with
<div class="cd-rating" ng-class="caseData.scoreClass">
instead and check if the issue gets resolved?
I have a page with error message hidden using display: none;
When page loads, the error message was shown briefly and then went away. It seems ccs applies slowly to the page.
How can I improve the user experience and not allow the error message to display when loading?
The page also loads a table using Ajax call. Could this affect how css applies to the page?
Thanks.
Simply add style="display:none;" to the actual html elements or div's on the page that you don't want to show initially. You can't rely on the CSS file right away. For example:
<div class="error" style="display:none;">
<span class="myerror">Hello World!</span>
</div>
Other than this exception for the hidden areas, it's typically best to keep all your css decoupled from the page and in an external file.
If you call your CSS file with <link> then you should try to put your CSS in <style> instead. Should be faster. As the external file needs longer to load then <style> which you have in the same file.
