[Using Sakai] lessons CSS

[Charles Hedrick]

> But it's tedious to discover - I take an existing page of links, view the source and uncover the classes

The help for the settings page does talk about how to do this, and lists the major classes you might want to define.

	• item-icon: This is for the icons that show on resources. For example, one useful setting is display:none. This disables any icons in your Lessons page. You may, of course, use body for any changes that should apply to the whole page.
	• breadcrumbs: the section with links to the page above, used in subpages and other items
	• title: the main page title
	• mainlist: the table containing the primary content. (Do not rely on this being a table. It could become a list in a later version.)
	• itemlink: the <a> for resources, etc.
	• itemtext: the text inside the <a>
	• itemdescription: the description field added by the author
	• textbox: the text inside a text block inserted by "add text"
	• commentsDiv: the whole section with student comments
	• commentDiv: a single student comment
	• author: the author's name in a student comment
	• specialCommenter: the author's name if the current user is the author
	• commentBody: the text of a student comment
	• studentDiv: the whole section for student pages
	• studentTitle: the heading "Student Pages"
	• studentLink: the <a> for an individal student page

If you see any problems — like changes have invalidated some of these but I haven’t updated the help file — please issue a Jira.

However looking at the Sakai 10 QA, it appears that the help text that I maintain — which is intended to document all features — has been replaced by pages that don't. The real help files are still there in the tool, but your site may not be showing them.
