Want members to be able to choose the font color of their usernames in posts?

[high]Step 1[/high]
[high]Go to User Profile Fields >> Add New User Profile Field[/high]

Choose A "Single-Line Text Box"

[high]Title:[/high] "Color of Your Username"

[high]Description:[/high] Type in the color in which you will like your username to be. Keep in mind that writing the colors in text does not always work, so try and format it like this: #ff0000 (that code is for red).

[high]Display Size:[/high] 11

[high]Max length of allowed user input:[/high] 7


[high]HIT SAVE[/high]


[high]Step 2[/high]
Now go to edit your postbit template and search for this code:

$post[musername]

Replace it with this

<if condition="$post['fieldx'] != '' ">
<font style="color:$post[fieldx]">$post[musername]</font>
	<else />
$post[musername]
</if>

X will be the id for the field in which you created. To view the id of the field created go to the "Profile Field Manager" and find the field ID of the field you made. (This appears under the "Name" column). It should show as fieldx where x is the ID.


[high]HIT SAVE[/high]



Want them to be able to choose the font as well?

[high]Step 1[/high]
[high]Go to User Profile Fields >> Add New User Profile Field[/high]

Choose A "Single-Line Text Box"

[high]Title:[/high] "Font of Your Username"

[high]Description:[/high] Type in the font in which you will like. For example for tahoma, type in "Tahoma", without the quotations.

[high]Display Size:[/high] 15

[high]Max length of allowed user input:[/high] 20


[high]HIT SAVE[/high]

[high]Step 2[/high]
Now go to edit your postbit template and search for this code:

$post[musername]

Replace it with this

<if condition="$post['fieldx'] != '' ">
<font style="font-family:$post[fieldx]">$post[musername]</font>
	<else />
$post[musername]
</if>

The X in font-family will be the id for the field in which you created. To view the id of the field created go to the "Profile Field Manager" and find the field ID of the field you made. (This appears under the "Name" column). It should show as fieldx where x is the ID.


[high]HIT SAVE[/high]

[high]AND WE'RE DONE![/high]

If you want them to be able to choose both color AND font, only do step 1 in each part, and then replace:

$post[musername]

with

<if condition="$post['fieldx'] != '' ">
<font style="font-family:$post[fieldx]; color:$post[fieldx];">$post[musername]</font>
	<else />
$post[musername]
</if>

The X in font-family will be the id for the field in which you created. The X in font-color will be the id for the field in which you created before. To view the id of the field created go to the "Profile Field Manager" and find the field ID of the field you made. (This appears under the "Name" column). It should show as fieldx where x is the ID.


[HIGH]Current Add-Ons[/high]
Exclude Certain Colors



[HIGH]Planned For Next Version (So Far)[/high]
- Have a pop up that allows you to pick a color and then shows the code for that color.

If you have any other ideas feel free to post them!

Wouldn't this mess with your html marking in the usergroups, though?

Would be nice if it could show up in other places like "who's online".

The html markup in the Usergroup settings for highlighting the names of the Admins, Mods, etc.

Screenshots would also be a good idea gio . Also this should overwrite your usergroup markup just like boofo said, so if you have html markup usegroups, I would be careful.
