Links Automatically bolded with a specific color.

[Loyalty4Life]

Please look at this link for an example:

http://www.basketballboards.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=76656&forumid=14

Do you see how the link in the first post is in bold with a dark blue color? Can this be done with vB3? Could someone show us how to do it? I'd really love to have this on my site!

Any help is appreciated. Thanks. :)

open file functions_bbcodeparse.php

find function handle_bbcode_url

there find

if ($type == 'url')
{
// standard URL hyperlink
return "<a href=\"$rightlink\" target=\"_blank\">$text</a>";
}

and there you can change everything :)

So...

if I wanted to have the exact same thing on bbb.net, only have the color be #006600, can you show me what to edit and what to add? I'd really appreciate it! :)

not sure if i understood you properly but going off of xenon's instructions, open up the
file functions_bbcodeparse.php with notepad or whatever and then in there do a find (control and f) function handle_bbcode_url, there you should be able to follow the below quite comfortably :)

if ($type == 'url')
{
// standard URL hyperlink
return "<a href=\"$rightlink\" target=\"_blank\">$text</a>";
}


and replace with
if ($type == 'url')
{
// standard URL hyperlink
return "<a href=\"$rightlink\" target=\"_blank\"><font color="#006600">$text</font></a>";
}


don't forget to back up your files pre-hacking

sabre, you have to escape (\) your quotes within the string ;)

After many trial and error periods, I was able to get it to work by taking out the quotation marks.

Thanks fellas for the help!

Hmmm... I have a question. It now works, but I'd like it to be slightly modified. I'd like there to be no underline when not hovered, but have an underline when hovered. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Xenon? :(

There is no need to bump posts untill at least 24 hours have past. Thank you.

[Loyalty4Life]

Alright, I think I've waited more than 24 hours. ;) Any help with how to remove the underline from the links? Thanks.
