List Manager Forum

I'd like to modify certain fields using css, so in the Fields Edit screen, I add a name in the CSS Class area. When looking at my html code, I can see this class on the input field of the form in the back end, but not on the front end list view. Am I doing something wrong? Or is that css class not used on the front end list view? Thanks.

Thanks. I see what you mean. On my site, I have several lists created by ListManager. If I use the 'lm_column_x" class, it will affect every list. Is there a way to target just the list or table on one page with css? I see id="###list_table", but it looks like ### changes each time the page loads.

I could use the page class created by Joomla, but unfortunately, the template I'm using has disabled the page class feature.

Thanks again.

Here's how I ended up getting it to work. This will use the current menu item's alias as the class for the page. It got this by modifying code from http://joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/5398/adding-custom-css-styling-on-some-of-my-pages

In the template's index.php file, add this ABOVE the doctype
(opening php tag)
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
$active = $menu->getActive();
$pageclass = $active->alias;
(closing php tag)

And add this in the body tag:
class="(openphptag) echo $pageclass; (closephptag)"

Then I could target the column using normal css:
body.aliasname th.lm_column_# {
width: 8em;
}
