Help! I am new to Nabble and have questions

[leezam3]

Let me start by saying I have read through the forum and have seen that others have asked simlilar questions as I am about to but I am new to all of this and was either confused by or did not undestand the answers.

So here are my questions:

1) I am attempting to embed Nabble into an Interspire Shopping cart.  I have this working but I need to make it a single sign on.  So basically if a user has signed on to the shopping cart they are not prompted to sign in again when making a post and visa versa.  If they sign in to Nabble they are not required to sign in to the shopping cart.  I saw in the forum that this might be possible with parent apps but I don't know what a parent app is or how to use one.

2) I would like to remove the link at the bottom that says:  "See how NAML generates this page" and it appears I have to modify the NAML that generates the page but I cannot find which NAML to modify.

3) I have changed the appereance of the site and I am attempting to add css to make the background transparent.  But it is not working.  Here is the CSS I am using:  body, .nabble, .nabble .no-bg-color {
    background-color: transparent}

Please help as the site is on the verge of going live and we need to resolve these issues before we can!

Thank you in advance for your help and advice!

A parent application is any Nabble application (forum, blog, board, newspaper, etc) that has a sub-application (or child-application). This is not the solution for you as you can't make your Nabble application a child of the shopping cart.

2) I would like to remove the link at the bottom that says:  "See how NAML generates this page" and it appears I have to modify the NAML that generates the page but I cannot find which NAML to modify.

You are advised not to remove that link as it prevents you from making changes to your application.

Have you tried searching for "See how NAML"? To do this, click on the "See how NAML generates this page" link, and on the next screen click on the tools (cog wheel) button and select "Search Macros" from the menu that appears. Make sure you select "Macro source contains" before clicking the "Search" button. You should be able to find it there.

3) I have changed the appereance of the site and I am attempting to add css to make the background transparent.  But it is not working.  Here is the CSS I am using:  body, .nabble, .nabble .no-bg-color {
    background-color: transparent}

It may be the lack of semi-colon. Your code may be overkill. This works for me:

.nabble {
  background-color: transparent;
}

Thank you for responding!  I made the change to NAML link because I know my client will NOT want it there.

In terms of the other questions.,.

OK so how can I do this?

I tried adding the semi colon and tried your CSS and same result.  I still have a blackbackground and not a transparent one.

I'll have to leave this one to others.

Yours is an unusual request as, normally, if you're in the middle of buying something then you won't want to be troubled with getting yourself registered and logged on to a forum. If what you're buying is access to that forum, then you definitely need to integrate your payment system into the forum and not the other way round. Using a full shopping cart service seems overkill for that.

It may be best to re-post this question as a new topic, with a specific subject line, and providing a little more background, then one of the Nabble team is more likely to notice it and be able to offer better guidance.

As you say you have a black background, which is not the default, that must mean you have additional CSS code that operates more locally and so over-rides the code you and I have posted. We need to see all your CSS, perhaps with a screen dump showing your embedded forum to gain a better understanding of what is going on.

Hi leezam3 ,

Sorry, but you can't remove the NAML link. You may change it to something smaller like "NAML"  but removing is simply not allowed.

About the unique logon, it's not possible.
