I cannot get my changes within the Custom Dynamic Forms Style Sheet to be implemented on the form???

I would like to customize the form with the style sheet but I can't.

HELP

Is this question about the DataSprings Dynamic Forms module?

Hi guys... I just ran across this thread. If it is Dynamic Forms I would make sure (after saving the page  and existing settings) hit the F5 / Refresh within the browser. DNN and Dynamic Forms does not reload the stylesheet file except for initial load etc... If you have problems you can visit the Data Springs Forums or open a support ticket.

I did already try that.

I came to the conclusion that my skins have been modified to over ride the form style sheet.

not nice.

Thanks for the advice. I do have another question. I am trying to get around and use the form features to get it looking the way I would like.

But, when I try to use the "add field to same row dot net nuke" I the field box is way off to the right?

The label is fine.
Any thoughts?

This is usually best handled by changing the Dynamic Forms .MainTable { } stylesheet class. If you change the table width to be fixed or not 100%. Also you can use the features to add the field label and field to the same table cell (either in module configuration, general settings or somewhere else). For any more questions though you might just post to the main Dynamic Forms forums so that we don't hi-jack this DotNetNuke Questions forum here on DNN Creative...

Chad,

We don't mind if you contribute here.

Hi Chad!

Yes of course you are more than welcome on here - heineken in Las Vegas ;-)

It's good for the readers of DNN creative to see how different modules can be configured and implemented,

Cheers!

Ok, my new favorite forum thread then Anyone can post questions or comments for Dynamic Forms or any of our other modules and we would be happy to answer any questions here!

Thanks guys...

Still having problems implementing the style sheet.

Is it possible that a custom skin is overiding the form style sheet?

Its possible... The best way to test this is to go to 'View Source' within your IE or Firefox browser and search for .css to see what skin files are being rendered. You should actually see the full URL to load the skin file and make sure its being rendered within the page.

When you say 'problems' are you referring to any specific stylesheet class/stylesheet area you are wanting to implement specifically?

If you wish to view the CSS that your DNN portal is reading - the best tool is the web developers toolbar, check out: Troubleshooting DotNetNuke Skins it outlines the techniques for quickly finding problems such as this with the web developers toolbar.

Ok,

So, I reviewed the web developer tool.

Awesome!!!

But, the Custom dynamic CSS still won't accept the styles I dictate.
I tried to find any correspondance with the other CSS that govern the page but I cannot find them.

The tool seems to indicate css styles that don't exist in the custom css sheet?  Do they or can they be added?

Also, I am still at a lose as to why the edits I make to the fields in the dynamic forms custom css that already exist are not displaying and I don't see these in other style sheets that supposedly govern the page, module, default, etc?

Any other trouble shooting

Hi. Ok, well it might help if you let us know specifically an example or instance when you are wanting an area to change thats not. For example, are you trying to change the background color of the table, or maybe make a specific field label appear red while the others are not?

Well here is a list of all stylesheet classes used throughout the Dynamic Forms module. The 'template' custom stylesheet that is included within the initial configuration might not include all of these...

Also, this is assuming that you are using the custom stylesheet option (otherwise the module renders the standard DNN stylesheet classes such as NormalTextbox and NormalBold etc...)

DynamicForms_Maintable
DynamicForms_Label
DynamicForms_Textbox
DynamicForms_DisabledTextBox
DynamicForms_RadioButton
DynamicForms_DisabledRadioButton
DynamicForms_ComboBox
DynamicForms_DisabledComboBox
DynamicForms_Link
DynamicForms_RichText
DynamicForms_DisabledRichTextBox
DynamicForms_Country
DynamicForms_DisabledCountry
DynamicForms_DisabledRegion
DynamicForms_CheckBoxList
DynamicForms_DisabledCheckBoxList
DynamicForms_CheckBox
DynamicForms_DisabledCheckBox
DynamicForms_ListBox
DynamicForms_DisabledListBox
DynamicForms_Summary
DynamicForms_ServerSideSummary
DynamicForms_FieldError
DynamicForms_Captcha
DynamicForms_RequiredField
DynamicForms_Compare
DynamicForms_RegularExpression

You might also review this demonstration which highlights using some of the custom stylesheet classes within it.

Also -Keep in mind that you can choose to 'Override the field label and field stylesheet class' directly under Advanced Field Options within each fields configuration.
