    • Do what James suggested.. publish it to a module that you stick in a static content item... then link to that static content item from your menu.

      Once you're at that point, post a URL here and with Firebug and Muffins, we will collectively try and paint the whole page black :)

    • Another solution is loading your video with a javascript tool like Rockzoom (there are a lot available) but playing with background (define a dark background with no transparency). It's already possible to embed Youtube videos, images, webpages, etc. If you have to use the player available with hyperion, I think it's possible to modify the code of the plugin that load the module.

    • Hi Peter,

      I lost this thread... took me a while to find it again. I rarely venture beyond the water cooler ;)

      See attached for what I managed to get with Firebug.

      Is that what you're after?

    • Yes, but only for that page, I don't want other pages to be effected.

    • Hmmm... bit tougher if only want it on that page... as the elements you need to modify are outside the component body and hence won't be affected by a page class suffix.

      Three steps:
      1.) Remove all the css you added earlier (the -15px margins etc)
      2.) Try and get the following css above the element we need to style.
      #main-content {
      &nbsp; &nbsp; background: #000000 !important;
      }

      The best way to do that would be via REMOVED but it probably won't work in j1.5 even in legacy mode. If you can convert it to 1.5 native, great, otherwise, look for something similar in the JED that works for j1.5.

      One last option is to stick the css right into the code. This will break xhtml validation but who cares, really.

      Turn off code cleanup in your WYSIWYG Editor, or turn off the WYSIWYG Editor completely and then paste the following into the BANNER module position.
      <style type="text/css">
      #main-content {
      &nbsp; &nbsp; background: #000000 !important;
      }
      </style>

      Make sure this module is only published on the page in question.

      Let me know if that works.

    • Or you can use one of James' suggestions at
      www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?t=22175&rb_v=viewtopic

      Eg. Put the following code in index.php of your template, but be more specific... maybe target by the itemid to make it only load on that page.
      <?php if (JRequest::getVar('view') != 'frontpage') : ?>
      &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  <style type="text/css">
      &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  #main-content {
      &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  background: #000000 !important;
      &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  }
      &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  </style>
      <?php endif; ?>

    • I added two templates, modified second template's css and assigned frontpage to the second template, maybe not the best solution but works for me.

      Thank you for helping, (at a later date might try Mark, James solution)
