Can we easy change the size of the Headlines on the artivles?

[siggen]

Hi!

Im considering bying your products, but for me, the headlines seems small and not easy to read. I dont want them to look as Links, if you know what I mean. Also, is it possible to make them in bold, choose to align them to the left, right or centre, and use different textstyles too?

Is it easy to change that, so it really looks like a magazine?!?

Hope to hear from you in this regard!

Hi,

It's all in the css. Everyone seems to complain about my fonts :rolleyes:
But yes, you can edit the templates and/or the CSS and make them what you'd like

By the way, there is an option in vBmagazine where you can force a style.

Nop, Im not complaining, just wondering, as I am a neewbie at this, I really have to ask, cause how to change things like that is something I know nothing about...

Is it difficult to find it, and change it? :o

Force a style on the article itself, or the headline, or both?

Force a style all over. Let's say you find yourself a nice template at vbulletin.org and would like to use it just for magazine, you can.

Usually the css is defined in admincp style section.
Editing the templates is also very easy.

It uses the regular vbulletin tcat, thead, alt1, smallfont etc ...or you can define your own.

Being able to force a style sounds great, but when it comes to the tecnical part of it, thats where Im lost, cause I just dont know how to edit them, what they are named etc, and what variables to change...

Do you have a help file that explains that if I buy the program? Would make it a whole lot easier to start using it, if you know what I mean, ecpesially as Im kinda a newbie at this...

[vBcover]

No, sorry, this is 100% vBulletin stuff. You might want to ask any style related questions at vBulletin.com

They also have lots of free pre-made styles available at vbulletin.org, plus there are a ton of commercial styles available. We also have a client who deals with styles and does a nice job at it. Look for Santai

I am not really looking to change the style, as Im kinda happy with the default one, but thx for your advice!

My main consern is to be able to understand, and actually be able to change the font, size etc for the headlines and possibly for the articles themselves...

To change fonts, size globally, it's in your style css. To do so just for magazine would be in the templates. If you don't know anything about css, you might want to ask someone to create one for you. That will take any person with some basic experience less than 5 minutes to do so.

One last thing, is it possible to selct who has access to edit and post on the magazine? I was thinking of only moderators and administrators, and not ordinary members, as Im planning to use this as a news bulletin where we publish new Issues regulary on our site for our members...

Is this possible?

You set that by individual users. In other words, if you don't want for a moderator to have access to that part of a magazine or want to make a trusted regular user an editor but don't want for him to be a moderator on the site, you can do that too. As admin, when you are in magazine forumdisplay (which are the archives), at the bottom you will see an option to add an editor. You can also set that in admincp -> forums by adding a moderator/user for that specific forum.

All articles/threads posted in magazines are automatically put in moderation and display only when you publish issue. So you could safely, if you want to, allow your users to submit articles. That will help you populate your magazine (you can always delete/move the ones that you do not want) OR, you can set individual usergroups for forums permissions directly in admincp not to allow anyone to not even submit articles (but why would you?)

Sounds great!

And is it also easy to put the thumb of the magazine like the "previous issue" box on the magazine page on our front page as well? Is there a simple solution to that as well in your program?
