I need an EE3 Custom Template Tutorial (a simple one)

I have searched for some tutorials for simple custom templates using the EE3 Custom Templates Add-on. I’ve had no luck.

The Themeroller option looks even more complicated than hacking the CSS to do what I want… Please help. Thanks!

I already had found those links, which was why I was seeking something more tutorial like in approach. Thanks anyway.

Hi Brandon,

Maybe it will help to know what you’re looking to do with a Event Espresso 3 custom template tutorial? Do you want to create a new template, modify an existing template, load in some custom CSS, or something else?

I want to change things like the label column of the questions, the background coloring, etc. This isn’t immediately obvious using the Add-on. I’ve hacked some customizations in, but I’m far from pleased with my results.

Here’s the current website I’m working on:

Hi Brandon,

It seems that you are mostly focused on the CSS aspects (colours etc). Most CSS changes can be added to either the bottom of the themes style.css file or via a plugin such as My Custom CSS.

We do not have any tutorials regarding CSS changes.

There are many general tutorials already available on CSS and using a browser’s inspector:

Inspector
https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/index
http://cs.wellesley.edu/~cs110/lectures/chrome-inspect/inspect.html

CSS
http://www.w3schools.com/css/DEFAULT.asp
http://learn.shayhowe.com/html-css/

That is just a very small sampling of what is available.
