[Plugin: Participants Database] Participant database list CSS question

    I’m loving discovering the Participant database plugin. I think it’s just what we need to manage our local currency business directory.

    I have a question about formatting the list generated by pdb_list. I understand from other posts that I need to modify the theme CSS. What I’m wondering is where is the code that is telling it how to format the list now: font, alignment of columns etc. In other words, what is making it not already formatted like the rest of my theme body text? (The font is different, for example.)

    I would just like to see what it’s being told before I start changing it.

    Also, is this being formatted as a table, or something else?

    Many thanks,
    Evelyn

    evelynlw,

    I suggest you use Firefox with the FireBug extension installed. It can show you quite clearly what the CSS is doing on any element of a web page. You can also edit the CSS in real time to see how your changes will work.

    The plugin does not, for instance, change the font in any of it’s style sheets, so what’s happening there is your theme is defining the font in such a way as to leave the output of the plugin unstyled, and so the default font is showing up there.

    Thanks, xnau, this is very helpful. I will try that Firefox extension. And I had been guessing that maybe a default style was showing up, but I wasn’t sure.

    Thanks! Super plug-in!!
