User Color/Font In Posts Editable Via Profile

[ShadowOne]

Whats Up,
I was looking for something like this and couldnt find it for 3.6. But i do give most of the credit to gio~logist for the idea even though i knew how to do this, dont wanna look like im taking credit for something i didnt do.Its like his for 3.5 except i added a color wheel link pop up. I dont have alot of coding experience, but template mods are not hard. Just wanted to kinda share this.

Oh and uhm the usergroup permissions may take a lil longer than expected. Its not as easy as one may think. But I am working on it :D

[UncoderMom]

I dont know how to make a plug in either but Im sure there is a nifty TUT somewhere here on the org. :)

Cant wait to install later! This with usergroup permissions is JUST what I need! teehee

[bijju]

[mystic10]

this is what i did and placed in postbit

<!-- message -->
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]"><if condition="$post['field14'] != '' OR $post['field15'] != ''"> <font style="font-family:$post[field14]; color:$post[field15];">$post[message]</font> <else /> $post[message] </if>
</div>
<!-- / message -->

it shows in my profile but when i post a reply no change please guide

[PinkDaisy]

is there a way to interpret the size in this as well?

[joeycano]

How do you decide whether to modify postbit or postbit Legacy???

Also, for some reason the fonts don't change. Do I need to add fonts to some folder???

[joeycano]

Looks like no support here?

[Thelonius Beck]

I have found that you need modify them both or you will not be able to post at all. At least it worked like that for me with 3.6.8.

[Chachacha]

Its a great idea for a modification... but it doesn't include the selected color when someone quotes the user. Too bad, I really like the idea. I'll have to disable it until it works in quotes.

[joeycano]

Un-installed as there is obviously no support

[ShadowOne]

Looks like no support here?

Not understanding your problem... fonts change for me when i type in the font name...

[intricatic]

Is there any way to do this with a dropdown box, and have it save the value to the database so it won't reset constantly?

[Thelonius Beck]

I have installed this, but am having something of an issue.Members using IE do not see the changes in their posts. Any ideas?

[boomcar68]

It would be nice if there is an option where people can choose the availble fonts.

[Shaheen]

doesnt work for me**

[gibigbig]

thanks i used this for my site: animedreamz.net/forums
worked perfectly

[LisaJH]

Damn its not working for me either :S

[Medina]

It`s not working. When a member posting, it`s seems to work. But when a member leave the topic and come back and look at his reaction. It doesn`t still the same color and/or font.

But a administrator or a moderator doesn`t have this problem..


help.

[ChU v2]

Very good idea, I'm going to try and tweak the code a little bit for usergroup permissions and other options, if you don't mind

[za3bour]

does is support font size ?

[xtracate]

This is wonderful, I cannot tell you how helpful this is I was pulling my hair out trying to make font colors work.

Thanks so much for this.

[woffie]

This works for 3.8 also. I am trying to figure out how to add font size. And, you can do a dropdown menu for the font. It makes it much easier for the members to choose a font.

[woffie]

Not sure if anyone can help me here. I did get this to work on 3.8.1. I tried to add font size and got some success, but not complete success.

I create a profile field called font size. I did a drop down menu just like I did for the font. A little different than this mod, but it makes it much easier for the members instead of writing in the font. Anyway. I changed the code to the following

<if condition="$post['field10'] != '' OR $post['field12'] != '' OR $post['field13'] != ''"> <font style="font-size:$post[field13]; font-family:$post[field12]; color:$post[field10]; ">$post[message]</font> <else /> $post[message] </if>

That replaces
$post[message]
in postbit or postbit legacy

It works if you post in the quick reply, but when the page is refreshed, it goes back to normal. It is not staying the font size. I am not a coder at all. I just tried to duplicate what was done for the other two fields. If anyone can tell me what is wrong with the code, I would greatly appreciate it.

[Bigpheonix]

Thanks, i like it a lot

[oldfart22]

First off I'm not at all a coder but messed with this for days till I got font size to work.. I made a 3rd custom field for the font size and added to the code.. Its working fine for me..

Title = Font Size In Posts
Description = This font size will appear when posting. Example: 2pt, 3pt, 4pt, 5pt, 6pt, 7pt
Max length = 15
Field Length = 25
Single-Line Text Box
Field Required = no
Field Searchable on Members List = yes
Show on Members List = yes

Last Edit your postbit or postbit legacy Template whichever one you use.
Find this code:

Code:
$post[message]Replace it with this code:

Code:
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_start]
<if condition="$post['fieldx']!= '' OR $post['fieldx']!= '' OR $post['fieldx']!= ''">
<font style="font-family:$post[fieldx];color:$post[fieldx];font style="font-size:$post[fieldx];">$post[message]</font> <else />
$post[message]

</if>

</div>



When you edit the font size in usercp enter value like this <font size = 3pt> Not sure if you need the pt or not but it works for me..
