Change vBCode color
 

How is this done? I've been told I'd have to edit functions.php, but what line and where? Anyone know? I need it to default to white, or something besides black anyway. :confused:

BUMP

What color are you talking about?

The color of the default text, when I use the Code button in a post. It defaults to black, so it seems.

See, unless you add a color tag, it looks like nothing on a black background. If you could direct me to where I can change that, I'd be much obliged. :)

Bump! :p

for the code tags, just add in a html color code <font color=red> </font> in the vB Code replacement field

and then they do [code] xxxx [ /code]

the color would be set automatically

Ok, thanks. But where exactly do I add that color tag? Templates? That's what I can't seem to find. I can't seem to find anything about it, or I don't know what to look for. :nervous: :paranoid:

Custom vB Codes under adminCP

i changed my quote tag to do this very thing

unless that [code] tag is internal, it should show up there

if not, somone with more knowledge will have to help

Yeah, it's not under custom codes. It's hidden elsewhere, I suppose. Anyone? :cross-eyed:

bump :dead:

admin/functions.php:

Thanks! I'll look for it.

Ok, sorry....I'm a bit in the dark here. What do I need to change in that line?

Change the first <normalfont> to <normalfont color=red> or whatever you want it to be.

Nope, I'm doing something wrong then. No matter where I add the "color=red", it still shows as black. :(

Doesn't regular HTML help either?
<font color="#FF0000"> </font>

From memory, the code in functions for the quote vBCode occurs TWICE. Make sure you make the changes for BOTH times the quote code appears.

Man, I did change it in both places. I tried the smallfont and also the normalfont. No change. It just stayed black. Can you give me a working example? :paranoid: I'd use normal html, but I'm not sure where to put it, or what to replace. :surprised:

And you're sure you don't have a custom vBCode setup for quote in your Admin CP that may be interfering? When I say both places, they are in 2 very different places in functions php, not the ones that are side by side.

Oh, well....I changed it in the two that are listed above.....just those two lines. I'm no code guru, so I don't exactly know what I'm looking for here. I've edited quite a few things, but this one has me baffled. :surprised: It's not that important, really. It just bugs me that you have to use a damn color tag to change it from black. :(

Bump....exact line refs would be much appreciated.

Bump! :(

Bump! Supposedly, this requires php hacking, according to vB. No one knows the answer? :(
I'm assuming, since the vbcode color doesn't appear to be in the html, that I'll actually have to define the color of the $vbcode variable somewhere in the php.

Bump

Somebody has to know where this can be changed. Once again, I ask....where can I change the default color? See, I have black on a black background. It's very irritating.

Can one of you gurus take a second and help me out here? This has gone unsolved since 06/2002, when I first started asking about it at vb.com. :confused: I'm going to make the jump from asking to pleading and begging now. Please! Oh please! :nervous:

I know no one likes impatient people, but it's been almost a year, so BUMP.

Bump

Bump

Enough with the bumps already.

Look for this:

// ###################### Start stripbrsfromcode #######################

and find the normalfont section in that function and modify it to your heart's content.

Ok, thanks for replying. And sorry about all the bumps. It's tough not knowing php. :(

Is there anything I need to know about tags in php? Someone in another thread was saying it had to be something like this:

Is that correct? Between the normalfont tags?

[edit] It worked!! WOOOHOOOOO!!! Thank you so much! I'd give ya a big hug if I could. :D If there's anything I can do for ya, just ask. ;)

But I found out something rather strange. Maybe you can help explain this one. I was convinced that the code font color couldn't be changed without hacking, until now.

This makes no sense at all. I was talking to another vB admin, and she said that that particular text color changes when custom styles/templates are used. Her code color defaults to white, and she has no idea why....since she never hacked that line. That would mean it can't possibly be in functions.php, correct? I mean, templates can't change php code, correct? Do you think there's some easier way to change it? I'd assume there's a template or style that can be changed, in light of this new info.
