On the ad entry form, a few fields defined as optional appear with required colors and some required appear with optional colors. This is not consistent for all optional/required fields nor for ones I've defined vs those provided with AdsManager.
I'm using Rocket Theme's Chapelco template on Joomla 3.2.
Is this a template issue? Can the color explanation at the top of the form be turned off?

It's a CSS issue. I think your template is settting a background color on textfield. Check with firebug tool for example to fix the css.
The color explantation could be removed only by override views/edit/tmpl/default.php

thanks for sharing

I've searched through the forum and this issue is brought up a number of times. In most cases, the suggested best solution is to use an override. For those of us who aren't programmers, we need more information. I checked the joomprod.com/documentation/doc-view-override.html psge about overrides and while it does a good job of describing where a php file should be placed, it doesn't say what should be in that file to ensure correct required/optional field color.

If I understand correctly I need to copy the default.php file from components/com_adsmanager/views/edit/tmpl folder to the templates/protostar/html/com_adsmanager/edit folder (am using the ProtStar template).

Once I have the php file copied, how do I modify it?
