But i do give most of the credit to gio~logist for the idea even though i knew how to do this, dont wanna look like im taking credit for something i didnt do.Its like his for 3.5 except i added a color wheel link pop up. I dont have alot of coding experience, but template mods are not hard. Just wanted to kinda share this.

This is wonderful, I cannot tell you how helpful this is I was pulling my hair out trying to make font colors work.

Thanks so much for this.

This works for 3.8 also. I am trying to figure out how to add font size. And, you can do a dropdown menu for the font. It makes it much easier for the members to choose a font.

Not sure if anyone can help me here. I did get this to work on 3.8.1. I tried to add font size and got some success, but not complete success.

I create a profile field called font size. I did a drop down menu just like I did for the font. A little different than this mod, but it makes it much easier for the members instead of writing in the font. Anyway. I changed the code to the following

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post['field10'] != '' OR $post['field12'] != '' OR $post['field13'] != ''"> <font style="font-size:$post[field13]; font-family:$post[field12]; color:$post[field10]; ">$post[message]</font> <else /> $post[message] </if> 


That replaces
$post[message]
in postbit or postbit legacy

It works if you post in the quick reply, but when the page is refreshed, it goes back to normal. It is not staying the font size. I am not a coder at all. I just tried to duplicate what was done for the other two fields. If anyone can tell me what is wrong with the code, I would greatly appreciate it.

First off I'm not at all a coder but messed with this for days till I got font size to work.. I made a 3rd custom field for the font size and added to the code.. Its working fine for me..

Title = Font Size In Posts
Description = This font size will appear when posting. Example: 2pt, 3pt, 4pt, 5pt, 6pt, 7pt
Max length = 15
Field Length = 25
Single-Line Text Box
Field Required = no
Field Searchable on Members List = yes
Show on Members List = yes

Last Edit your postbit or postbit legacy Template whichever one you use.
Find this code:

Code:
$post[message]Replace it with this code:

Code:

<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
			$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_start]
			<if condition="$post['fieldx']!= '' OR $post['fieldx']!= '' OR $post['fieldx']!= ''">
<font style="font-family:$post[fieldx];color:$post[fieldx];font style="font-size:$post[fieldx];">$post[message]</font> <else />
$post[message]

</if>

	</div>

When you edit the font size in usercp enter value like this <font size = 3pt> Not sure if you need the pt or not but it works for me..
