TipsThis is similar to the tip about adding a custom icon to Premium Member badges . For this tip, we'll show you how to display a custom icon next to all Member Titles. Note that the same icon will be displayed for all titles in the example, since there is currently no way to differentiate member titles from a CSS standpoint. First, let's see what our sample Member Title of "Dude" looks like without any styling: 1. First, let's focus on simply adding an icon. You can inject a Font Awesome font...

Tips❤️"How to put a widget in the main left column of the homepage" was one of the first questions I asked Hoop about during Beta, and I have seen many others ask the same question since.

Tips❤️One of the new features is support for Font Awesome font icons. The advantage of using font icons is that they can scale to different sizes without distorting whereas using images can't scale without distorting or adding blurriness. New to the applilcation are text-based member badges instead of image-based badges. If you want to add some extra flair to your premium member badge, you can inject a Font Awesome font icon with some simple custom CSS. First, you must select which font icon you...

TipsFor the top navigation menu, if you want to have each menu item change color when you hover it, add this custom CSS: /* the following sets the background color for the menu item on hover */ .top-bar-section li:hover:not(.has-form) a:hover:not(.button) { background-color:#444444; } .top-bar-section li.active:hover:not(.has-form) a:hover:not(.button) { background-color:#444444; color:#fffff0; } /* the following sets the text color and icon color for the menu items on hover */...
