Alot I think are self explanatory but people want them to re-assure what they think. Just respect that instead of trying to show how dumb people are.

Read the template release rules, it specifically says to put in a screenshot. So respect what the admin wants to get the most out of every modification.

Thank you.

Oh really nice !
Good work ffdcsite ! :D

[assassingod]

(My theory- Tony=Git:))

Anyway, yeah, I know I shoulda:p

Thanks Dave:)

I say it how it is. If you have any disgareement go re-write the submission rules. Not my problem.

[assassingod]

Sorry about that, I was kiddin. You were right, and then again, im the git:)

Anyway, enough spam. I still cant get the default to be black, Although I havent tried this on my board yet(will do now) You could put;
<font color="#{whatevercolouryouwant}"> right before
<font color="#$post[field*]">$post[username]</font>
EDIT: I have tried this and it has failed.:( I didnt think it wold work in the first place
I suppose that could over write the profile field until a user changes the colour.

Just a though, Ill go try it out:)

Anyone else have any idea's

[Tony G]

If you think thats spam, you've seen worse.

It doesn't work because it needs to be inside the font tag of those codes. Otherwise it won't overwrite the other font tags.

[assassingod]

I know. Ill try what you said now.

[MustangBST]

How do I allow only certain groups to change their color?

Or if I can not do that how do I make my Mods and Admins Name a different color?

[Tony G]

Don't think thats possible via a Template modification.

[assassingod]

Best I can think of is editing thier name manuelly, which I dont think works. Methinks Tony is right, try vB.org

[Tony G]

Then you would have to remove it from the UserCP so they couldn't change it.

]to show white color default run this query

UPDATE userfield SET field5='FFFFFF' WHERE field5=''


if field 5 is your color usernames field :p
sorry for my english...

[assassingod]

Nice going [Dx] I add this to the instructions

[Xanthine]

Basically you copied my install file and called it yours: http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24

At least give credit next time would you.

[imported_Tweak]

ANyone Know how to make the Usernames BOLD?

[Bad Bunny]

Yes, add <b> </b> around the places that use them. heh
There may be a different way, but that is how I would do it.

[Lostuk]

@Dx,

I tryed your fix
UPDATE userfield SET field5='FFFFFF' WHERE field5=''
But that just rolls up a sql error fella:(:(

Thanx will kep looking

Well I didnt copy your install file. However these 2 mods are very alike. I have never seen that one before. Sorry:(

Edit: Lost;
Have you changed the field number to the field number at your forums? (I.E, if the number is 6(sixth user profile field, run this query:

UPDATE userfield SET field6='FFFFFF' WHERE field6=''

Simple:)

[Lostuk]

Yup got it:)
Thanx fella
Works a treat,nice work

[Wren]

Pardon me, but what is "running a query"? Because my usernames are black now too, and I would really love to fix this asap. *gets tons of PMs*

[assassingod]

You can run queries from phpmyadmin.
There is a tutorial of it somewhere. Let me find it for you.

[imported_SylEm]

didn't work for me. Maybe your description isnt specific enough.

[assassingod]

What didnt work?:) Running the query or installing this mod?

[imported_SylEm]

well I did all the text in the postbit, and it doesnt work. It shows up, but when I try to make a color, the color never shows up on the username.

[assassingod]
