Hi There,
I am really struggling to change the notification style of my store.
When, say, the user puts the wrong password in, a small line at the top, hardly noticeable, appears. Is there anyway I can change this to make it more evident that the user has made an error?
See attached image with highlighted area on the top left. I would prefer a notification that pops up or is at least a bit more obvious.
Please help. I'm also not very adept in coding and CSS. I have just built this from the Joomla backend. Using VM3. Joomla 3.
This is really a Joomla templating issue
The message notification area of your template is responsible for the position of this display -
You can change the css for the size/color etc of these messages -
From your image posted - it looks like the message display is above your page header section.
You may want to move the message notification area into a more obvious place within your template, possibly just above the main content something like this:-
<jdoc:include type="message" />
<jdoc:include type="component" />
Investigate the css for the messages as well using firebug
Thanks man. I actually have no idea how to operate any CSS at all. So your reply is pretty much a different language to me. I'd be hoping there would be a simple setting.
As hutson says this is your JOOMLA template that is at issue here.... there is no setting - it is controlled by the template css and where it is positioned in your template
Ok so this is how far i've got (see attached). It's better, but still not clear. It also fades away very quickly. Is there any way to make it like a pop-up that the user needs to say "ok" to continue? I'm learning the basics if editing my CSS files within Joomla so nothing too complicated please. :)
Oh Yeah! I sorted it out with a plugin called WLI Joom System Messages :) :) :)
