I have been trying to figure this out, and have asked in the forum before, but only as a side note. Now however, it's becoming more of an issue, so I decided it needs it's own post:)

Basically, any linked text inmy content items are showing up blank...they seem to get assigned the same color as the background of the page. This isn't template specific, it's happened on every template I've downloaded from here. I am wondering though, if it must be something wrong with my joomla install or something? Since noone else has mentioned they have this problem. I can correct the problem by highlighting the linked text and clicking the css button and assigning it a new color...but that is just a pain to do for EVERY linked text item. It also underlines all links...want to stop that also. So does anyone know where I can go to change the default setting for text links in content?

Thanks,

It's happening on every template I've tried. Now if you higlight them, you can see them...but otherwise, they are not visible.

It is also like that  where I am using the vortex template. Also had the issue on thedooleygang.com where I am using the sporticus template. Just haven't been able to figure out exactly how to fix it. I tried looking in the css for where it had text-decoration: underlined and a fff color assigned, but I think when I changed that, it did fix them, but also changed my menu links, which where fine the way they are. So is it perhaps a blanket statement that is assigning the style to a bunch of different areas and I need to pick the content item links out of the bunch and give them a different style? What confuses me though is why this isn't effecting anyone else.

Edit: From looking through my css files, it seems like maybe this is the area that is causing it. I found this in the tempalte.css file:

table.headlines div.moduletable h3,
.componentheading {
   text-decoration: underline;
        /* see style css */
}

a:link,
a:visited {
   /* color: see style css */
}

a:hover {
   color: #333;
   text-decoration: underline;
}

And this in my style css:


table.headlines div.moduletable h3,
.componentheading {
   color: #f26522;
}
      a:link,
      a:visited {
   color: #ffffff;

}

So the question is..do I need to seperate one of those? And if so, which one is the one that is for links in content? None of them sound like they should be. Maybe it's the div.moduletable h3?

there is more than one css file per template. have you looked in the template specific one. template_css.css is a general css file while when you pick a color variation you have other css elements

it's not happening to everyone because the issue isn't a code issue and it must be something you've changed/added

I know about the other css files. I was showing you parts of templatecss and of the style one. I think I changed that line some time ago in order to make my main menu text white..guess it was also styling my content links?

It would help if you post a link to the site.

Hi again,

Here is a Snapshot of the bottom part of my site.

I'm using Synapse and it happens in 4 out of 10 styles (which I'm planning to use them all)

These are the ones that once the link is clicked, the color matches the BG color at the bottom:
Style3
Style4
Style5
Style6

Thanks a lot for your time and help!
