You need to edit the custom.css for that template. With will change the font,and text color.

To take out the [ ] you have to edit pgm-auto_menu.php and add this file to you template dir.

Hi A Snowden

Mike is quite correct, for the colour and fonts, you'd have to set up a custom.css in your template directory. To change the way it displays, i.e. the brackets etc. would be to copy the pgm_auto_menu.php from root folder to your template folder and then edit it to suit your needs.

What I normally do with the TMENU is to place it inside a table:
<table width="95%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" class="bottom-menu">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#A8B9D3"><div align="center">#TMENU#</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Obviously you'd have to change the above background color to your own.

Then in my custom.css I do this:

/* TMENU Links */
.bottom-menu {
FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10px; COLOR: #5173A7; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.bottom-menu a {
FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10px; COLOR: #5173A7; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.bottom-menu a.link {
color: #5173A7;
text-decoration: none;
}
.bottom-menu a.visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #5173A7;
}
.bottom-menu a.hover {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #2E518D;
}
.bottom-menu a.active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #2E518D;
}
/* TMENU Links END */

Again, all you'd have to do now is change the color and font size.

See http://soho-templates.edisc.co.za for examples of what the templates look like that I use this method on.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your help, but what I really need to do is change the way the #TMENU# appears ie, in most templates it looks something like this.....

I want to be able to remove the brackets [] and maybe change the look in other ways.

email me at mike@armaswebdesign.com so we can talk. I can make any change you need to the tmenu.

Has anyone made progress on this? I have searched through pgm-auto_menu.php 100 times already an not found any reference to the brackets, nor to the opening div <div id="smt_tmenu">. Can someone point me to a line number in the file or anything?

This should be an easy fix.

The module you look for is actually pgm-realtime_builder.php. Search for "$main_textmenu" and you will find this line of code:
$tmenu = "<div id=\"smt_tmenu\">[ $main_textmenu ]</div>";

Removing those two bracket characters surrounding $main_textmenu should do it.

AWESOME! Thanks so much, that's all I needed. I knew the answer had to be out there, but I had spent an hour already searching all the module files with no luck.

This works only temporarily... they always come back within 24 hours. Is there someway to get these brackets gone for good! Please help! (Mathetos and I are working on the same project)

There are two folders this file is stored: public_html and public_html/sohoadmin/client_files/base_files/. The former gets overridden by the latter whenever you log into sohoadmin.
