New BB tag to do rainbow text...
 

This is a fairly simple hack that allows you to create a new BB tag to do
rainbow colors with text. It is only a few lines and the only file affected
by it is admin/functions.php.

You can see a sample output in this thread: http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread...hreadid=225576


Note1: This hack has been done and tested on VB 2.2.9
Note2: Using other BB tags within the rainbow tags will convert the underlying HTML code in to rainbow text. :D

Note3: You can find the revised and BB code friendly version in this post

Note4: You can find the version that displays the full spectrum of colors in this post.

Looks good;)

Please add your hack in a .txt file rather then showing it like this. Thank you.

Hehe cool little hack :)

Cool hack :) ... However, I have some problem with some unicode characters. They will show as #xxxx, not as the real unicode charaters. Would you please point out what should I do ?

I wonder if you can point me to a thread in your forums so that I can see what you are seeing. :)

Zzed, I figured out how to take the black background out but how do I make the rainbow text the same size that is set for the message? It is bigger than the regular message text.

Great hack, by the way. :)

Thank you Boofo. :)

Here is how you fix the font size. ;)

Change this line in dorainbow()

To this:

That was quick. Thank you. :)

Here is what I changed to make the background transparent.

It works, but is it the correct way to do it? :)
