Distinguish Moderator/Administrator Notes in a thread

On my forum, it is my belief that users need to be notified when moderator actions have been applied in a thread.
I.e. certain posts were edited, deleted, moved, or if the thread was moved, etc.

Usually I just type in blue font to distinguish such notes. However, anybody can use blue text so it was nothing special.

Well I created a fairly simple BB Code with CSS Table formatting.

It allows you to use a BB Code tag to distinguish the notes. For example, I could enter

Quote:

"[moderation]This thread has been moved to the Chit-Chat section[/moderation]"

and the outcome is displayed at the bottom of this post (Attechment: Screen1.jpg)

The horizontal rule ( <hr> ) is included.

You can customize the CSS to have the dashed border display in a different color, as well as change text size, font, color, etc.

To create this BB Code:

AdminCP -> BB Code Manager -> Add New BB Code

Title:

Code:

Moderator Notes

BB Code Tag Name:

Code:

moderation

Replacement:

Code:

<hr><br>

<style type="text/css">

table.sample {

    border-width: 3px 3px 3px 3px;

    border-spacing: 2px;

    border-style: dashed dashed dashed dashed;

    border-color: green green green green;

    border-collapse: separate;

    background-color: white;

}

table.sample th {

    border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;

    padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px;

    border-style: inset inset inset inset;

    border-color: gray gray gray gray;

    background-color: white;

    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

}

table.sample td {

    border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;

    padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px;

    border-style: inset inset inset inset;

    border-color: gray gray gray gray;

    background-color: white;

    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

}

</style>



<table class="sample">

<tr>

        <td><fieldset><legend>Important Moderator or Administrator Note</legend><font size=3><font color=blue>{param}</font></fieldset></td>

</tr>

</table>

Example:

Code:

[moderation]important note here[/moderation]

Use Option:

Code:

No

Remove Tag if Empty:

Code:

Yes

--
All other settings are optional. I have also uploaded an basic letter "M" for "Moderation" to use as a button for this code. It is already resized to 21x20.

--

Finally, to prevent regular users from using this BB Code, install Abe1's Advanced BBCode Permissions Modification.

Hopefully I've covered everything ;)

So just remove this :

Code:

table.sample {

    border-width: 3px 3px 3px 3px;

    border-spacing: 2px;

    border-style: dashed dashed dashed dashed;

    border-color: green green green green;

    border-collapse: separate;

    background-color: white;

}

To not have any border there right?

No, you have to remove all of this:

Code:

<style type="text/css">

table.sample {

    border-width: 3px 3px 3px 3px;

    border-spacing: 2px;

    border-style: dashed dashed dashed dashed;

    border-color: green green green green;

    border-collapse: separate;

    background-color: white;

}

table.sample th {

    border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;

    padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px;

    border-style: inset inset inset inset;

    border-color: gray gray gray gray;

    background-color: white;

    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

}

table.sample td {

    border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;

    padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px;

    border-style: inset inset inset inset;

    border-color: gray gray gray gray;

    background-color: white;

    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

}

</style>

Sorry I was just referring to the green border not the line border inside the green border.

I have attached a screenshot of the outcome if you remove the code I said to remove.

Also when you remove the code, replace it with this:

Code:

<table>

Nice idea, How to bring the total thing in the middle?

Sorry, I can't help you there. You would have to contact the author of that modification (Abe1) and ask why it doesn't work with your Chatbox.

Sorry :(
