Font Colour Along With Replied Background Colour.

[Myztic]

When reading threads on my board.. I would like the second post to have a different font colour and background then the 1st post..

so the 1st post would be 1 colour and font scheme.. then the 2nd would be a different scheme.. and the 3rd would be the same as the 1st.. and the 4th would be the same as the 2nd.. and so on.

How do i change the font and back ground colour?

Thank you!

Well the posts background should alternate in color automatically.


NOT TESTED!

For the font color go into functions.php and find this:


if ($counter%2==0) {
$post[backcolor]="#13486D";
$post[bgclass] = "alt1";
} else {
$post[backcolor]="#1C5780";
$post[bgclass] = "alt2";
}


Below it add:


if ($counter%2==0) {
$post[textcolor]="{firsttextcolor}";
$post[textclass] = "text1";
} else {
$post[textcolor]="{secondtextcolor}";
$post[textclass] = "text2";



Then just change the <font> tags color around the $post[message] variable in your 'postbit' template to suit.

Also you must create the {firsttextcolor} and {secondtextcolor} replacements ;)

Let me know if it works ;)

I tried finding "functions.php" but apparently i am too dumb for even the smallest issues.

i dont know where it is.. i checked in myphpadmin... i looked in other places too but i couldnt find it.

where is it?

thanx

Its a file. Its in your FTP

[Dean C]

Hehe yes its a file located in your admin directory. Open it up and then do what i said :)

i went in there.. it looks like i could really screw something up bad. so i better not touch it.

but why does it require a hack just to change my font colour? there should be an option for that.. cuz this hacking stuff is too complicated.

[Logik]

There is no option. It requires hacking. Sorry. :(

[Dean C]

Indeed. Well if i had the time i would test this for you but i don't sorry :(

i changed this....

if ($counter%2==0) {
$post[textcolor]="{firsttextcolor}";
$post[textclass] = "text1";
} else {
$post[textcolor]="{secondtextcolor}";
$post[textclass] = "text2";

to..

if ($counter%2==0) {
$post[textcolor]="{firsttextcolor}";
$post[textclass] = "text1";
} else {
$post[textcolor]="silver";
$post[textclass] = "text2";

and it didnt work...

i also need to change the second background colour as well... because i think if i change it using my admin feature... it will also change the colour on my main page as well.. but i only want just the background colour of the every second post column to be changed.. and my main forum page to remain with the colour it has now..

...Thanx

Thats a rediculous hack bro. sorry. :)

[Dean C]

I said to place it below Mystic ;)

[Myztic]

I did place it below... just like you said..

have i changed the correct place for silver? did i add that part right?
