    vBSEO Installed with 1 small issue

    Everything went smoothly on the install and i am sure I will have a lot of questions as I read into how to effectively use the tool.

    One question:

    The "Linkback" link at the top of each thread is not consistent with the rest of my theme, and my theme designer does not know where to look for it in vBSEO templates. Can someone tell me where I can find it in the templates to change the color to match the theme?

    Try the vbseo_linkback* templates.

    I'm his theme designer, and I've not been able to find the Linkback link in the templates.

    Please see the screenshot, attached. I've circled the link in question, which is of course on the toolbar above the posts, on showthread.

    I'm simply trying to change the background color to match the rest of the toolbar, but can't find it. I looked in the vbseo_linkbackmenu template, to no avail.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    It would be the vbseo_linkbackmenu template exactly.

    Mike, I looked there, as i stated above.

    This is the code in that template -

    Code:
    <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="linkbacktools_menu" style="display:none">
        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead">$vbphrase[vbseo_linkback]<a name="goto_linkback"></a></td>
        </tr>
    <if condition="$vbseo_linkbacks_no">
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imagesfolder]/vbseo/goto_linkbacks.gif" alt="$vbphrase[vbseo_goto_linkbacks]" /> <a href="#linkbacks">$vbphrase[vbseo_goto_linkbacks]</a></td>
        </tr>
    </if>
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imagesfolder]/vbseo/linkback_url.gif" alt="$vbphrase[vbseo_linkback_url]" /> <a href="$vbseo_linkback_uri" onclick="prompt('$vbphrase[vbseo_linkback_url_popup]','$vbseo_linkback_uri');return false;">$vbphrase[vbseo_linkback_url]</a></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imagesfolder]/vbseo/linkback_about.gif" alt="$vbphrase[vbseo_about_linkbacks]" /> <a href="misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=linkbacks">$vbphrase[vbseo_about_linkbacks]</a></td>
        </tr>
    <if condition="$vbseo_bookmarks">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead">$vbphrase[vbseo_bookmark_share]</td>
        </tr>
        $vbseo_bookmarks
    </if>
        </table>
    </div>

    The div class at the very beginning is, by default, vbmenu_popup. That the background of the linkback on his forum is red, is strange in itself, because the background color in his main css for vbmenu_popup is white.

    At any rate, I changed that to tcat which should have changed the background to match the rest of that toolbar. But it does not.

    I'm stumped!

    Ok I found the culprit -

    It was actually in the vbseo_linkbackmenu_entry template. I needed to change div class="vbmenu_control" to tcat.

    Mystery solved!
