CSS template help

[mrlamont]

Hi, I found a CSS text glow effect code and I wanted to apply it to our member's names how would I do this.

The code I found is: 
[spoiler]
.text
{
text-shadow: 0 0 10px #c61a1a;
font-size:50px;
color:#c61a1a;
}
[/spoiler]
thanks for any help,
mrlamont.

Just add that to your CSS file without the spoiler tags (Admin Area > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet).

Hi Tim, thanks for responding. I have a question, Do I add this somewhere special and Do you know How I could selectively add member's to make their names glow.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.

Since he said just add it, you would add it to the bottom of the style sheet.

mrlamont, are you wanting to add it to EVERY member's name, and have it be the same colour glow for ALL of them? Or specific members?

If you want different glows for specific members, I would recommend using the Plugin of Peter's, for Styled Names. With that you can add by specific member or even group (I think by group).

It could save you a lot of hassle from having lots of different CSS in the Style Sheet (if you plan to have different glows for different members).


Also, if you want to add to people's names, you'd need to replace .text with a.user-link so it becomes:

a.user-link
{
text-shadow: 0 0 10px #c61a1a;
font-size:10px;
color:#c61a1a;
}

Stinky, I wanted to apply it to the different Staff groups. Also, I wanted it to glow a certain color for each staff group. But I'm just going to take your advice and go with the plugin thanks a lot for the help.

If you don't have too many groups, or if you do and don't mind.. you could use:

a.user-link.group-1
{
text-shadow: 0 0 10px #c61a1a;
font-size:10px;
color:#c61a1a;
}
a.user-link.group-2
{
text-shadow: 0 0 10px #c61a1a;
font-size:10px;
color:#c61a1a;
}

Add the bit in blue as many times for as many groups as you use it for. So if you have 5 groups, you will have that 5 times.
