You can use a tool called Firebug for Firefox which helps you find locations of code you would like to change. You can watch some video tutorials here:

It should be compatible as I am running Firefox 8 and firebug with no problems. Also this page states that version 1.8.3 is compatible with Firefox 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Managed to get Firebug working which helps a bit. Tells me which item I need to look for. Does anyone know which file its in. Template css maybe?

Can you provide a URL and specify the change you are trying to make?

You could add some CSS to accomplish this. Open this file:

http://www.theresearchsquad.com/templates/rhuk_milkyway_ext_16/css/template.css

Add the following code:

Code:
/* Added to reduce indent on sub menu items */
li ul {
    padding-left: 20px;
}

Also if you are not going to be using the top pill menu you can get rid of the images in the same file. Find this code:

Code:
table.pill {
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    padding: 0;
}

Add display: none;

While you're at it you might as well adjust your breadcrumbs pathway as it sits to the left too much. In the same file find this code:

Code:
#pathway {
    margin-right: 250px;
    margin-top: -2px;
    padding: 0 10px 8px;
    text-align: left;
    width: auto;
}

Change padding: 0 10px 8px; to padding: 0 22px 8px;

Always back up your files before making any edits.

Hi Markstein,

Would you mind taking a look at http://test.iscomputeron.com/jupgrade/ and try to see why "published on" and "written by" have a 40px left padding?

I've used Chrome and Firefox to check the code and all I can see is that it's inherited, but have no clue where to go to fix it (and also to make the font a bit smaller and more greyish).

Thanks in advance and sorry to hijack your thread dsotm44.

You can see by inspecting in firebug that the Published on and Written by have classes (published and createdby) but there are no CSS rules in your stylesheet for these. You can simply add your own to your template.css file and style as you wish such as:

Code:
.published {
    margin-left:  0px;
    font-size: 10px;
    color: #C9C5C5;
}
.createdby {
    margin-left: 0px;
    font-size: 10px;
    color: #C9C5C5;
}

Hi NICojUanes.

In the future it is better if you create your own topic about this as this thread doesn't have much to do with "backing up files". It's a better way for more people to see your post and help you out. ;)

When you want to edit a file you can download the file from your server to your computer. This can be done by using a FTP program such as Filezilla.

http://filezilla-project.org/

You download the file to your computer then make a copy of it. You can then modify the original file knowing that if you do something wrong you have the copy of the original file which you can reupload if needed.
