vb.org Archive - Personal Font/Color in Posts

First, the error FENIX is getting is a syntax error... check to make sure you're opening and closing all of your quotes.

I haven't had a chance to play around with making this work in quotes, but here's what I got set up on 3.6.8 that seems to be working very well...

First, create 3 new fields via User Profile Fields -> Add New Profile Field

Field 1:
---------
Type: Single-Line Text Box

Title: Default Post Color

Description: Set the default color for your posts in hexadecimal format (e.g. #FF0000 = red). Hexadecimal color codes work like this: #[red][green][blue], with FF being the highest and 00 being the lowest. Look up hexadecimal in Wikipedia if you'd like a more in depth explanation.

-------------------------------

Take a look at User Profile Field Manager and record the field names (e.g., field5, field6, etc.) for the fields you just created.

Now replace COLOR, SIZE, and FONT in the below code with your field names.
it's bold, because it's important

-------------------------------
Find and replace in Postbit Templates -> postbit:

Code:

<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>

with

Code:

<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">

<if condition="$post['COLOR'] != ''">

   <span style="color: $post[COLOR];">

</if>

<if condition="$post['FONT'] != ''">

   <span style="font-family: '$post[FONT]';">

</if>

<if condition="$post['SIZE'] != ''">

   <span style="font-size: $post[SIZE];">

</if>

    $post[message]

<if condition="$post['SIZE'] != ''">

   </span>

</if>

<if condition="$post['FONT'] != ''">

   </span>

</if>

<if condition="$post['COLOR'] != ''">

   </span>

</if>

</div>

-----------------------------
Find and replace in Postbit Templates -> postbit_legacy:

Code:

<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>

Code:

<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">

<if condition="$post['COLOR'] != ''">

   <span style="color: $post[COLOR];">

</if>

<if condition="$post['FONT'] != ''">

   <span style="font-family: '$post[FONT]';">

</if>

<if condition="$post['SIZE'] != ''">

   <span style="font-size: $post[SIZE];">

</if>

    $post[message]

<if condition="$post['SIZE'] != ''">

   </span>

</if>

<if condition="$post['FONT'] != ''">

   </span>

</if>

<if condition="$post['COLOR'] != ''">

   </span>

</if>

</div>

I hope this helps... if I have time, I'll look into dropping in a color chooser and making it work in quotes.
