Hello,
I have a problem with a slightly old version of multiflex 3 (http://drupal.org/project/multiflex3). It doesn't display bullet points (unordered lists). It displays ordered lists just fine. Has anyone else had this problem or one similar to it? Thanks very much
Jon

The demo links to a page with ul’s and they have image bullets. Do you have the images?

Why not update to a less slightly old version?

I believe multiflex 3 has an issue queue. Have you searched it to find anyone else who has this problem or one similar to it?

I have not done the things you asked and I will but can someone please direct me to where the images of the bullets are. Thank you very much.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found where the bullets are but I don't know in the code which image name they are looking for.

How does one point the theme to the bullet?

It's already in the css and it looks like it should work.
Here it is exactly on line 121

ul li, ul.menu li, .item-list ul li, li.leaf {
  padding: 0 0 .2em 1.5em;
  list-style-type: none;
  list-style-image: none;
  background: transparent url(images/menu-leaf.gif) no-repeat 1px .35em; /* LTR */
}

if all else fails you can throw an !important in it

ul li, ul.menu li, .item-list ul li, li.leaf {
  padding: 0 0 .2em 1.5em;
  list-style-type: none;
  list-style-image: none;
  background: transparent url(images/menu-leaf.gif) no-repeat 1px .35em !important; /* LTR */
}

the bullet should be found in "/theme/(themename)/images/menu-leaf.gif"

I run an open source inventing website - NeoMenlo.org.

Thanks very much, unfortunately, I have an older version of this theme and I am afraid to update because I'm afraid my extensive alterations to the theme will be lost. Could I insert the code from the new theme into my older version and expect it to work? or should I get help and possibly upload the css for someone to see? Thanks very much again, for all of your help.

You can always just insert the code and test it on your test site ;-)
It should work but you might need to find a similar rule and change it rather than just adding the new one.

If you still have problems -- post a link, so someone can have a look.

Firebug would be a great help to you when doing this sort of work, and it can help you understand how css does its job.

Unfortunately, firebug isn't available in Firefox 3. But actually I found the css code where the bullet point is:

.main-content ul {list-style:none; margin:0.5em 0 1.0em 0;}
.main-content ul li {margin:0 0 0.2em 2px; padding:0 0 0 12px; background:url(../img/bg_bullet_full_1.gif) no-repeat 0 0.5em; line-height:1.4em; font-size:120%;}

I checked and the image is there but its not appearing for some reason. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or is there an easy way to get back to Firefox 2 for testing? Thanks very much

EDIT: I changed the code from navigation to content, got confused

EDIT2: I have web developer working in Firefox 3, can I use that?

I have ff3 and firebug! you need 1.2.0b4. you need to remove the incompatible version if you still have it, and install the new addon from the mozilla addon site a.m.o .

I am not convinced that the image (../img/bg_bullet_full_1.gif relative to the css file) is there.
