list bullets with JB Type in Intrepid

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

I am building a site in Intrepid for a client

I want to add some bullets to lists without removing the subtle dotted underline for each list item.

I recall seeing an option to add some simple colored square bullets and copied the code style but can't successfully recreate the bullets.

I recently installed JB type and the JB Type JCE plugin and now have the font-awesome icons and some other styles showing right in JCE. I cannot find any colored list bullets.
I also don't see the small colored square bullets on the JB Type page.

Were the square bullets discontinued? What options do I have for bullets besides the colored larger discs or the black and white font-awesome icons?

Do you have an example of the icons you are refering to?

I can't quite seem to find the examples you are looking at

Looking at the zip file I can't see any list items graphics in there

thanks

Thanks Paul -

Sorry to be so late getting back to you. Somewhere on the Joomla Bamboo site, i fund a page about JB Type that had some colored square bullets that would display with this code :

<ul class="jb_green">
<li>your text</li>
</ul>

There was a selection of at least 8 or more other colors besides green. A little colored cube displayed as a bullet.

the little cubes aren't showing in my site when i use the code, nor do i see them as an option in the JCE editor dropdown, like i see the other custom styles.

Should they be there?

It's on this page: item # 7: docs.joomlabamboo.com/joomla-extensions/jb-type-documentation

ah ok

sorry thought you meant multi coloured in the single bullet

Yes those styling elements are there but it won't work using jbtype like that you need to use the JBType synax
{ jb_listred}{/jb_listred}

You could use the style you have and use a background image from the jbtype media folder but then you would need to create custom styling

You could try nesting the jbtype syntax inside <li></li>

Cheers

no you don't

The custom styling I was referring to was to get your unordered list html to work - you would use the background image from jbtype but it wouldn't be using the jbtype plugin at all

The syntax for jbtype will work standalone but it needs the brackets to work and the correct code - the example I gave has a space to ensure it renders in this thread
