New Posting Features - User selected default posting font and color

Hello,

This mod allows users to select their default posting font and color. You will have to select this at registration and can update it whenever you want in profile.

First you must make two new single selection menu user profile fields. Options for them are below.

Profile field one:

Title: Default Post Color

Description: What color your posts show up as?

Options:

Black
Blue
Green
Red
Pink
Orange
Purple

Set Default: Yes, but no first blank option

Display Order: Doesnt Matter

Field Requiried: Yes, at registration and profile updating

Field Editable by User: Yes

Private Field: No

Field Searchable on Members List: No

Show on Members List: No


Profile field two:

Title: Default Post Font

Description: What do you want your default post font to be?

Options:

Arial
Arial Black
Arial Narrow
Book Antiqua
Century Gothic
Comic Sans MS
Courier New
Fixedsys
Franklin Gothic Medium
Garamond
Georgia
Impact
Lucida Console
Microsoft Sans Serif
Palatino Linotype
System
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Tribuchet MS
Verdana

Set Default: Yes, but no first blank option

Display Order: Doesnt Matter

Field Requiried: Yes, at registration and profile updating

Field Editable by User: Yes

Private Field: No

Field Searchable on Members List: No

Show on Members List: No

Now go to the user profile field manager, and jot down the two field numbers of the new fields listed on the right side of the two fields. Along with that, write down what number goes with what field. Please note this is not the display number, its the number next to it that says fieldX

Template Edits:

Go to your styles postbit/postbit legacy (whatever you use)

Find:

<!-- message -->

After Add:

<font COLOR="$post[fieldX]"><font face="$post[fieldX]">

Replace: The first red X with your default text color field number
The second red X with your default font field number.



Find:

<!-- / message -->

Add Above:

</font></font>

You are done, hope you like it!

These template edits are not working if you are using this hack

If you setup within mentioned hack "no comment type" or postbit flipped" option these templates will not work
Does anyone know way around this !?

Update~ Installed but not working. It's in the UserCP/Edit Details as it should be but when I direct what font and color I want to use and save, it doesn't work. I'm not sure what I did wrong.......sigh......

I had the same problem, had to hire someone to get it working for me. It worked great until my site was upgraded to the 4.0 version.

Sorry Mellymonster, I hope by now you have it working

Notice to new members: Don't waste your time installing this until support is offered. It is not working properly for most of us, and it took a decent amount of time to do, so DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH IT unless you are certain it will work!! (Most likely will not work!!)

I really liked having this hack/product when it finally worked. Now since my upgrade to the 4.0 version, it doesn't work anymore.

Is there a new 4.0 version update for the "User Font and Post Color"? Please and thank you!
