Modifying Font Size in Banner

11 years 9 months ago

Hi,

Apologies if this post has been duplicated.

Is there a way to modify the font size in the Banner, such that 2 lines of text fit neatly centered in the available space.

I could include the 2nd line text on the page however my preference is for it to flow across all pages.

I note that the banner only supports Bold, Italic and Line Break so I assume that adjustments would need to be made to the template itself.

I am New to FreeToastHost but have considerable experience with WordPress and have a background in Coding - HTML, PHP, Javascript.

The font size or style cannot be changed. The banner is the approved size according to the Toastmasters International brand standards.

Adding the line break will center your two lines of text. 3 lines makes the banner message go into the Top and bottom bars.

I am the current system developer.

I believe the font size, type, and color were set by Toastmasters per branding guidelines, so they cannot be change. (Brian may correct me on that).

In the last update, I added the ability to do the very minimal formatting that you get now. In the next update (in a few weeks), you will get underline capability, also. However, I don't there is much more flexibility that I can provide than that due to the branding considerations.

There are things I have tried to add flexibility to. However, the banner stuff is very much tied to the branding, so I am much more limited in the degree of flexibility I can offer there.

Thanks for the quick reply Guys.
Will need to go with the Tagline on page as unfortunately the tagline splits across two lines itself making 3 lines in the banner which then overflows the banner itself.

Probably should be a new topic but

Is there any thoughts around a preview page function? I am currently using a custom page with links to page under development to view changes that I make rather than having them visible in real time.

Eric,

What I currently do as a preview page is to have 2 tabs open at the same time, sometimes in different browsers even, then save in one, and refresh the other.

You could save the page as unlinked so that it is not visible to the public or to the club without the URL.

So your links go to the pages you are working on that you have made Unlisted, right?

You can maximize the editor window in the web pages screen.

A preview page is not out of the realm of possibility... just not a priority right now. Suggest logging it as an Improvement Suggestion in that forum section.

Here is what I would do... Make yourself an "Other Officer", then create your new stuff as Officer Only pages. This allows you to access them via the Members Only menu (at bottom) when you are logged in. By making them Officer Only, you limit the viewing of them to officers. Alternately, you can just change the page type from Unlisted to Officers Only for previewing.
