Post Background Color - Version 1.03b

Hack: Post Background Color
Version: v1.03b
Author: MarcoH64

Description
Create Color Schemes, set specific colors for different styles to match the styles colors the best. Give usergroups permissions to attach
a color scheme as background to a post. Great to allow Admins/Moderators to highlight important posts in a thread for example.

Features
- Create Color Schemes
- Override the default color for a Color Scheme for each Style if needed.
- User Usergroup permissions to allow/deny the use of background colors
- On posting/editing, optionally choose a background color
- Choose (vB Options) if you want the background color to be applied to the messagetext, the postbit info, or both.
- Create background images or gradients (thanks to applehat for the idea ;))

Nice work mate :)

Very nice I will install.

Did you also add some color schemes?

PS I will be gone out of the country in an hour, so i won't be able to give more support until next week.

Install code was missing a new column in the post table. Version 1.01 with updated install code released. Just do an overwrite install.
Sorry no time to look into this anymore. It is probably a left over from an attampt to show the colors in the dropdown (which didn't work, somehow the colors didn't show).

Will remove this when i come back.

Error

Change

Attached is the product XML with the above fix done to it.

BUG: If you try and turn it back to NONE, it will not let you.

A Temp. Fix would be to add your alt2 (or alt 1) color as a selection called Default or something to that extent.
