Mysterious <strong> tags

1 Sep 25, 2004 04:48    

I'm playing around with the custom skin and noticed the code says:

<div class="bSmallHead">
					Posted by: <?php $Item->Author->prefered_name(); ?>.
					<?php
					$Item->issue_time();
					echo ', ', T_('Categories'), ': ';
					$Item->categories();
					?>
					</div>

and the output looks something like:

<div class="bSmallHead">
		Posted by: MyName.
		12:09:52 pm, Categories: <strong><a href="http://www.whatever.com/etc?cat=1" title="Browse category">Announcements</a></strong>, 49 words &nbsp; <img src="http://www.whatever.com/img/flags/h10px/us.gif" alt="English (US)" class="flag"/> 		</div>

My question is, where did the STRONG tag come from? I'd like to remove it...or maybe I should just style the ".bSmallHead strong" tag directly?

I ended up styling ".bSmallHead strong a" in the css file and was able to get the desired result. But the question still remains...where does that STRONG tag come from?

PowerDesk (Win) = freebie, sort of a super intelligent file explorer. After installing, it will add "File Finder" to your right click context menu. To find otherwise mysterious code, I
-- place my cursor on the top b2evo directory,
-- right click,
-- select File Finder
-- click the Content tab
-- and enter one or two adjacent words/code I'm looking for
-- when the hit list appears, I replace that word with another, and choose "refine"
-- and checkmark the show-in-context box

There's a magnifying glass on the toolbar. Use it to see the file's innards.

Has saved me hours of hunting, while tweaking b2evo templates/skins.

Thanks Treo, but I used another search application I already have and was able to spot what I needed. I may check out PowerDesk, though. It seems useful.

Just to answer the question I raised...The STRONG tag was coming from the b2evocore file "_class_item.php". The code was the following:

function categories(
		$link_title = '#',
		$before_main='<strong>', $after_main='</strong>',
		$before_other='', $after_other='',
		$before_external='<em>', $after_external='</em>',
		$separator = ', ',
		$format = 'htmlbody'
	 )

I signed up to this forum just so i could say thanks for posting this thread. I would have never found that tag.

Treo,

Thanks for mentioning PowerDesk.

XP Explorer "search" is awfule. I've tried MSN Toolbar (which has a desktop search function, integrated with Outlook) but that falls short of what I want too.

I downloaded PowerDesk and followed your steps. I lost you on the "checkmark the show-in-context box" step (I couldn't find it).

Also, the magnifying glass (file preview) only works if you have the paid version, which is (currently) $49.99 USD.

The workflow you mention, however, does a great job of finding b2evo files that contain certain strings of code. (Just the free version - at first blush - appears useful).

Thanks.
