Forum Name Colors

[Blindchild02]

Is there a way i can set the color for each forum name to a different color??

say i want general discussion to show up red.... is that possible

Just put html color tags around the forumname.

that's what i did... however, then it shows the html tags in your title when you enter the forum ;]

[Blindchild02]

i did that, but it doesnt work in firefox

that's what i did... however, then it shows the html tags in your title when you enter the forum ;]What tag did you use?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Just tried on 3.0.7 and put a '<font color="red">forumtitle</font>' and it works like a charme.

[Gio~Logist]

And did you click on the forum and notice the title on the browser also shwos as <font color="red">forumtitle</font> ?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Nope, just showing the forumname in red.

Using IE

Edit: Tried it now on a local almost unhacked testboard, but i have done this on many production boards before without any problem.

[Gio~Logist]

so your telling me that on the top of the browser.... in the part that uses the code <title>.... it has red font?

[Blindchild02]

oops.
well i fixed it, i forgot the # for the hex code, it doesnt show in firefox without that @.@

and yes, at the top it does say <font>Forumname</font>

[Blindchild02]

no man... TOP OF THE BROWSER

<font color="green">*gio~logist rubs in marco's face what hes been trying to say for the past 1/2 hour*</font>

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Lol, well to fix that:

edit forumdisplay.php, find in the bottom:

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('FORUMDISPLAY') . '");');

Then add above:
$show['forumtitle'] = strip_tags($foruminfo['title']);

Now edit the FORUMDISPLAY template, and replace '$foruminfo[title]' in the <title> tag with '$show[forumtitle]'

Will show up fine now
