Conversation with ChatGPT about CSS for the top image and the database view

The ChatGPT link sharing isn’t working and the copy paste below doesn’t include the screenshots. So i’d need to manually add screenshots below if i want to share this with Cam or review the ChatGPT conversation for the full context

The final message at the bottom of the page instructs me to provide the HTML code and i think i could do that by going into the inspect

update- i tried doing this and chatgpt said it was too long, so i think that i should not try this any more and its better to ask Cam than chatgpt here

I need help with CSS. I'm adding the following code on super.so and it's making my header image darker than originally. Here is the old code and new code that im trying to add. How can I adjust the new code so it doesn't make the cover image darker Old Code: .notion-collection-card__property:last-child, .notion-collection-list__item-property:last-child { background: none!important; border-radius: 0px!important; color: var(--color-text-default)!important; font-size: 16px!important; font-weight: 300!important; opacity: 1!important; position: static!important; } :root { --primary-color: #202B3F; --color-text-default: #F4F0DF!important; --color-bg-default:#000000!important; --button-bg-color: #202B3F!important; --button-text-color: #ffffff!important; --mobile-menu-background-color: #FFFFFF!important; --list-item-border: #E1E9FF; --list-item-hover: #F1F5FF; --page-width: 1280px; --button-rounding: 50px!important; } .notion-header__cover:after { background-image: none!important; } #page-index .notion-text, h1.notion-heading:first-of-type { text-align: left!important; margin: 0!important; } .notion-toggle { display: none !important; } New Code: .notion-collection-card__property:last-child, .notion-collection-list__item-property:last-child { background: none!important; border-radius: 0px!important; color: var(--color-text-default)!important; font-size: 16px!important; font-weight: 300!important; opacity: 1!important; position: static!important; } :root { --primary-color: #202B3F; --color-text-default: #F4F0DF!important; --color-bg-default:#000000!important; --button-bg-color: #202B3F!important; --button-text-color: #ffffff!important; --mobile-menu-background-color: #FFFFFF!important; --list-item-border: #E1E9FF; --list-item-hover: #F1F5FF; --page-width: 1280px; --button-rounding: 50px!important; } .notion-header__cover:after { background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(251, 252, 255, 0), rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 98%)!important; } #page-index .notion-text, h1.notion-heading:first-of-type { text-align: left!important; margin: 0!important; } .notion-toggle { display: none !important; } [id^="page-blog"] .notion-property__text.notion-collection-card__property { padding-left:0px !important; } .gallery .notion-collection-card__property.notion-semantic-string { line-height: 1.6rem !important; }

ChatGPT

To adjust the new CSS code so that it doesn't make the header image darker, you need to modify the background-image property of the .notion-header__cover:after selector. The current code applies a linear gradient that darkens the cover image. If you want to remove or reduce this effect, you can either remove the gradient or adjust its transparency.

Here are two options:

Option 1: Remove the Gradient

If you don't want any gradient overlay, simply set background-image to none.

cssCopy code
.notion-header__cover:after {
      background-image: none!important;
}

Option 2: Adjust the Gradient Transparency

If you want to keep the gradient but make it less dark, adjust the transparency of the second color stop.

cssCopy code
.notion-header__cover:after {
      background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(251, 252, 255, 0), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 98%)!important;
}

In this example, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) makes the overlay less dark. You can adjust the 0.5 value to increase or decrease the darkness (0 being fully transparent and 1 being fully opaque).

Choose the option that best suits your design needs. Here's how your new code could look with each option:

Ok I chose the first one. Now I'm trying to do 2 things: 1. Make the fully stretched image at the top be taller. I uploaded a taller image that is 720px high but It's condensing it to be much smaller. Do you know how to adjust the code or add to it so it doesn't make it so thin? 2. I want to make the database items titled Earn Respect and Join events smaller so that two items fit on the same horizontal line. How can I adjust the CSS to do this? Pictures are attached with the code and site display

ChatGPT

To address your requirements, you need to make adjustments in the CSS for both the header image height and the layout of the database items. Here's how you can achieve each:

1. Adjusting the Height of the Header Image

You can set the height of the header image to be 720px or any desired height. Add the following CSS to ensure the image height is maintained:

cssCopy code
.notion-header__cover {
    height: 720px !important;
    max-height: 720px !important;
    overflow: hidden !important;
}

2. Making Database Items Smaller

To make the database items smaller and fit them on the same horizontal line, you can adjust their width and set the display to flex. Add the following CSS:

cssCopy code
.notion-collection_gallery__content {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.notion-collection-card__property {
    flex: 0 1 calc(50% - 10px); /* Adjust 10px to the desired gap between items */
    margin-bottom: 20px; /* Adjust for desired vertical spacing */
}

Combining these with your existing CSS, it would look like this:

cssCopy code
.notion-collection-card__property:last-child, .notion-collection-list__item-property:last-child {
    background: none!important;
    border-radius: 0px!important;
    color: var(--color-text-default)!important;
    font-size: 16px!important;
    font-weight: 300!important;
    opacity: 1!important;
    position: static!important;
}

:root {
    --primary-color: #202B3F;
    --color-text-default: #F4F0DF!important;
    --color-bg-default:#000000!important;
    --button-bg-color: #202B3F!important;
    --button-text-color: #ffffff!important;
    --mobile-menu-background-color: #FFFFFF!important;
    --list-item-border: #E1E9FF;
    --list-item-hover: #F1F5FF;
    --page-width: 1280px;
    --button-rounding: 50px!important;
}

.notion-header__cover:after {
    background-image: none!important;
}

.notion-header__cover {
    height: 720px !important;
    max-height: 720px !important;
    overflow: hidden !important;
}

#page-index .notion-text, h1.notion-heading:first-of-type {
    text-align: left!important;
    margin: 0!important;
}

.notion-toggle {
    display: none !important;
}

[id^="page-blog"] .notion-property__text.notion-collection-card__property {
    padding-left:0px !important;
}

.gallery .notion-collection-card__property.notion-semantic-string {
    line-height: 1.6rem !important;
}

.notion-collection_gallery__content {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.notion-collection-card__property {
    flex: 0 1 calc(50% - 10px); /* Adjust 10px to the desired gap between items */
    margin-bottom: 20px; /* Adjust for desired vertical spacing */
}

This code will set the header image height to 720px and ensure the database items are displayed side by side. Adjust the calc(50% - 10px) and margin-bottom values as needed to fit your design preferences.

Regarding the image at the top, it is not a notion header image. It is just an image that's fully stretched to the max at the top of the page. You can see this in the screenshot of the notion page. Please rewrite the code with the understanding I want to make this image taller when fully stretched and it is not a cover image

ChatGPT

Thank you for the clarification. Since the image at the top is not a Notion header image but an image element, we need to target that specific image to adjust its height.

Adjusting the Height of the Fully Stretched Image

You can use CSS to set the height of the image directly. Assuming the image has a specific class or is a direct child of a specific element, you can set its height accordingly.

For example, if the image is the first image element on the page, you could use the following CSS:

cssCopy code
img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 720px !important; /* Adjust this value to your desired height */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensure the image covers the area without distortion */
}

However, it's more likely that the image has a specific class or is inside a specific container. Here are two scenarios:

If the image has a specific class (e.g., .top-banner-image):

cssCopy code
.top-banner-image {
    width: 100%;
    height: 720px !important; /* Adjust this value to your desired height */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensure the image covers the area without distortion */
}

If the image is inside a specific container (e.g., .top-banner):

cssCopy code
.top-banner img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 720px !important; /* Adjust this value to your desired height */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensure the image covers the area without distortion */
}

Adjusting the Database Items to Fit on the Same Line

To make the database items fit side by side, you need to ensure they are set to display as flex items within their container.

cssCopy code
.notion-collection_gallery__content {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.notion-collection-card__property {
    flex: 0 1 calc(50% - 10px); /* Adjust 10px to the desired gap between items */
    margin-bottom: 20px; /* Adjust for desired vertical spacing */
}

Combining these, your CSS would look like this:

cssCopy code
.notion-collection-card__property:last-child, .notion-collection-list__item-property:last-child {
    background: none!important;
    border-radius: 0px!important;
    color: var(--color-text-default)!important;
    font-size: 16px!important;
    font-weight: 300!important;
    opacity: 1!important;
    position: static!important;
}

:root {
    --primary-color: #202B3F;
    --color-text-default: #F4F0DF!important;
    --color-bg-default:#000000!important;
    --button-bg-color: #202B3F!important;
    --button-text-color: #ffffff!important;
    --mobile-menu-background-color: #FFFFFF!important;
    --list-item-border: #E1E9FF;
    --list-item-hover: #F1F5FF;
    --page-width: 1280px;
    --button-rounding: 50px!important;
}

.notion-header__cover:after {
    background-image: none!important;
}

.top-banner img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 720px !important; /* Adjust this value to your desired height */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensure the image covers the area without distortion */
}

#page-index .notion-text, h1.notion-heading:first-of-type {
    text-align: left!important;
    margin: 0!important;
}

.notion-toggle {
    display: none !important;
}

[id^="page-blog"] .notion-property__text.notion-collection-card__property {
    padding-left:0px !important;
}

.gallery .notion-collection-card__property.notion-semantic-string {
    line-height: 1.6rem !important;
}

.notion-collection_gallery__content {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.notion-collection-card__property {
    flex: 0 1 calc(50% - 10px); /* Adjust 10px to the desired gap between items */
    margin-bottom: 20px; /* Adjust for desired vertical spacing */
}

Ensure you replace .top-banner and other class names with the actual class names used in your HTML structure. This will make the top image taller and adjust the database items to fit on the same line.

You

This isn't working correctly. There are 2 issues: 1. The image is still not tall enough. It did not become any taller with this code. 2. There are now 3 database items on one line instead of 2. I want 2 database items on each line.

ChatGPT

Let's address both issues one by one.

1. Adjusting the Height of the Fully Stretched Image

To ensure the image height is set correctly and it stretches to the desired height, make sure the CSS targets the correct element and set the height property appropriately. Since it didn't work previously, let's try a different approach assuming the image is the first image element on the page.

cssCopy code
img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 720px !important; /* Adjust this value to your desired height */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensure the image covers the area without distortion */
}

If the image is within a container, target that container specifically:

cssCopy code
.top-banner img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 720px !important; /* Adjust this value to your desired height */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensure the image covers the area without distortion */
}

2. Ensuring Two Database Items per Line

To ensure only two items per line, adjust the flex-basis in the CSS for the .notion-collection-card__property:

cssCopy code
.notion-collection_gallery__content {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.notion-collection-card__property {
    flex: 0 1 calc(50% - 10px); /* Adjust the gap between items if needed */
    margin-bottom: 20px; /* Adjust for desired vertical spacing */
}

Combined CSS

Here's the combined CSS to address both requirements:

cssCopy code
.notion-collection-card__property:last-child, .notion-collection-list__item-property:last-child {
    background: none!important;
    border-radius: 0px!important;
    color: var(--color-text-default)!important;
    font-size: 16px!important;
    font-weight: 300!important;
    opacity: 1!important;
    position: static!important;
}

:root {
    --primary-color: #202B3F;
    --color-text-default: #F4F0DF!important;
    --color-bg-default:#000000!important;
    --button-bg-color: #202B3F!important;
    --button-text-color: #ffffff!important;
    --mobile-menu-background-color: #FFFFFF!important;
    --list-item-border: #E1E9FF;
    --list-item-hover: #F1F5FF;
    --page-width: 1280px;
    --button-rounding: 50px!important;
}

.notion-header__cover:after {
    background-image: none!important;
}

.top-banner img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 720px !important; /* Adjust this value to your desired height */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensure the image covers the area without distortion */
}

#page-index .notion-text, h1.notion-heading:first-of-type {
    text-align: left!important;
    margin: 0!important;
}

.notion-toggle {
    display: none !important;
}

[id^="page-blog"] .notion-property__text.notion-collection-card__property {
    padding-left:0px !important;
}

.gallery .notion-collection-card__property.notion-semantic-string {
    line-height: 1.6rem !important;
}

.notion-collection_gallery__content {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.notion-collection-card__property {
    flex: 0 1 calc(50% - 10px); /* Ensure two items per line */
    margin-bottom: 20px; /* Adjust for desired vertical spacing */
}

Make sure to adjust the class names (.top-banner or the appropriate class) to match your HTML structure. This should ensure that the image height is correctly set and only two database items are displayed per line.

You

I'm still having the exact same issues with the new code. How do I Make sure to adjust the class names (.top-banner or the appropriate class) to match your HTML structure? Where do I add this? Can you add it for me?

ChatGPT

To ensure the CSS applies correctly, you need to confirm the class names or selectors match the structure of your HTML. Here's a step-by-step approach:

Identify the correct selector for the image:

Inspect your webpage using browser developer tools (right-click on the image and select "Inspect").
Note the class or ID of the image or its container.

Identify the correct selector for the database items:

Inspect the database items and note their class or ID.

Update the CSS with the correct selectors:

Replace the placeholder selectors (.top-banner, .notion-collection_gallery__content, etc.) with the ones identified in steps 1 and 2.

Example CSS Update with Placeholder Selectors

Here is the updated CSS assuming the following structure:

The image is within a container with the class .top-banner.
The database items are within a container with the class .database-items-container.

cssCopy code
/* CSS for the top banner image */
.top-banner img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 720px !important; /* Adjust this value to your desired height */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensure the image covers the area without distortion */
}

/* CSS for the database items container */
.database-items-container {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.database-items-container .notion-collection-card__property {
    flex: 0 1 calc(50% - 10px); /* Ensure two items per line */
    margin-bottom: 20px; /* Adjust for desired vertical spacing */
}

Adding the CSS to Your Page

Add the CSS to the <style> block in your HTML:

htmlCopy code
<style>
/* Existing styles */

.notion-collection-card__property:last-child, .notion-collection-list__item-property:last-child {
    background: none!important;
    border-radius: 0px!important;
    color: var(--color-text-default)!important;
    font-size: 16px!important;
    font-weight: 300!important;
    opacity: 1!important;
    position: static!important;
}

:root {
    --primary-color: #202B3F;
    --color-text-default: #F4F0DF!important;
    --color-bg-default:#000000!important;
    --button-bg-color: #202B3F!important;
    --button-text-color: #ffffff!important;
    --mobile-menu-background-color: #FFFFFF!important;
    --list-item-border: #E1E9FF;
    --list-item-hover: #F1F5FF;
    --page-width: 1280px;
    --button-rounding: 50px!important;
}

.notion-header__cover:after {
    background-image: none!important;
}

/* New styles */
.top-banner img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 720px !important; /* Adjust this value to your desired height */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensure the image covers the area without distortion */
}

#page-index .notion-text, h1.notion-heading:first-of-type {
    text-align: left!important;
    margin: 0!important;
}

.notion-toggle {
    display: none !important;
}

[id^="page-blog"] .notion-property__text.notion-collection-card__property {
    padding-left:0px !important;
}

.gallery .notion-collection-card__property.notion-semantic-string {
    line-height: 1.6rem !important;
}

.database-items-container {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.database-items-container .notion-collection-card__property {
    flex: 0 1 calc(50% - 10px); /* Ensure two items per line */
    margin-bottom: 20px; /* Adjust for desired vertical spacing */
}
</style>

Ensure the selectors match your actual HTML structure:

Inspect the elements in your HTML to find the correct class names or IDs. For instance, if your image is inside a div with a class of .top-banner and the database items are within a container with a class of .database-items-container, the above CSS should work.

If you're still facing issues, please provide more details or the actual HTML structure (at least the relevant parts), and I can help you adjust the CSS accordingly.
