So what exactly is a NETQUOTEVAR, and where can I find them ...

[simonwar]

I have modifed lots of templates without really understanding what i am doing, and now got stuck with something and need some depth in my knowledge to go any further.

I am trying to reduce the font size of the

Price: £X.XX (Excluding VAT at 17.5%) line that is part of Act_RightProductLine.html

I opened this file and see NETQUOTEVAR:PRICEEXPLANATION and only assume this is it.

Preceeding this is

<span class="actxxsmall">

...and modifying this does nothing ?

So is there font size knowledge within NETQUOTEVAR:PRICEEXPLANATION, or am i barking up the wrong tree completely.

Oh hang on something has just worked, i added the

<span class="actxxsmall">

just before NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE and thats modified
Price: £X.XX

but (Excluding VAT at 17.5%) is still the same ?

Can anyone straighten me out.

Simon.

font sizes are controlled by actinic.css

open this file in notepad, locate where it says

.actxsmall{
font-size:xsmall;
color:NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLORCSS;
}

change font-size:xsmall;

to read

change font-size:xxsmall;

Also, the template you are looking for is Act_ProductPrice.html

This contains the product price, tax and discount information.

Not working ...

Hi folks,

Thanks for the detail, a few points though.

I am OK with actinic.css controlling font sizes, however throughout the many templates of Actinic font size is controlled by the code, as in this example;

		<TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="MIDDLE">
			<A HREF="NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLINK"><B>NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONNAME</B></A>
			<br><span class="actxxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONTEXT</span>
		</TD>

and I presume that actxxxsmall calls the details from the css, well it works anyway.

What I am trying to reduce the font size of the pricing details, as I originally indicated.

Price: £X.XX (Excluding VAT at 17.5%)


Now, again I only presume, when your in Actinic and click on the product in question;

Layout > Product Layout > Edit

When i do this it opens the text file Act_RightProductLine.htm

Here you will find lots of NQV's etc and I am trying to decifer this detail to modify the line in question. I have tried to change 'actregular' to 'actxsmall', and so on but nothing changes in the Actinic view.

Need more help.

Regards, Simon.

Simon,

When the text file Act_RightProductLine.html is opened, is this in Notepad?

If yes, then after making your changes you need to have selected 'save as' in Notepad and changed file type to 'all files' to overwrite the existing Act_RightProductLine.html template. If you just saved, Notepad will have created a new file called Act_RightProductLine.html.txt and Actinic will not recognise that as a template file and will not use it.

Please check this (you might need to open the amended .html.txt file, edit, select all, copy - then reopen the .html file, edit, select all, paste before doing a 'save as'.

The <span class=" tags that you see are normal html used to apply css values to a variety of html elements without having to specify a full list of elements in the css file, and actxsmall, actregular etc are css pseudo elements created for use with the span tag to control font size and weight.

If adding </span><span class="actxxsmall"> in front of NETQUOTEVAR:PRICEEXPLANATION in ActRightProductLine.html is not having the effect you want, or if you want to affect each element of the pricing individually, make your changes in Act_ProductPrice.html as suggested in post #2 by AJ.

The (Excluding VAT) bit is referenced as NETQUOTEVAR:TAXMESSAGE in that template.
