Module Class Suffix

Hi All,

Can some kind soul give me a simple explanation of "Module Class Suffix", at the bottom of the property of each module in admin.

Also (slighty off topic), Random image - what path do I put in for the "path to the folder". Currentl set as: mambo/images/stories/mypics/. Tried all ways - stll won't work!

Cheers,
Dave

In template_css.css you will find a general class for all of your modules. This class determines how your modules look and they will all look the same unless you assign a suffix to a given module. That module can then use different rules. Here is an example using the suffix _login which you might use with the login module if you wanted it to look different than other modules:

This one puts a gray background behind the module headers.

Code:

table.moduletable {
width:100%;
}

table.moduletable th {
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #E4E4E4;
border-bottom: #C0C0C0 solid 1px;
padding: 5px;

}
table.moduletable td {
font-weight: normal;
padding: 5px;
}

This one has no background.

Code:

table.moduletable_login {
width:100%;
}

table.moduletable_login th {
font-weight: bold;
padding: 5px;

}
table.moduletable_login td {
font-weight: normal;
padding: 5px;
}

I hope this helps,

David

Cheers David,

Answered brilliantly!

My css file is getting very long!

Hard to find things now!

Would you have any idea on this?
Thanks,

Make sure you comment on your css:

/*custom modules classes*/ for example. This will help you find things a little.

If you are using the built in Mambo module, i have never gotten that to work.
