vb3 Font Color Hack v1.0

Well my second one is in now, and I'm happy with its results

What does this hack do?

It enables your users to set their posts to display as a certain color.
Also comes equipped with an override feature that you can turn on or off to not view other members' font colors.

Hack comes with installer, un-installer, uses bitwise permissions for the override, and comes fully vbphrased.

What to do?

Queries to Run: (7)
File Modifications: (4)
Template Modifications (1)

Update

A Modification for a selection of colors from which the user can choose from is located [ HERE ].

And don't forget to enjoy.

upload the install_fontcolor.php to admincp directory and run for complete installation and steps.

Any comments, feedback, suggestions, etc. are welcomed. Please remember to respect my work and I would appreciate if you clicked install.

Screenshots and zip attached below.

Alright, check in the admincp if the phrases were inserted into the database just do a search for 'font_color'. If they show up then its probably the language that has to be recached, try to submit one of the entries and see if that recaches them if not I will come up with a solution.

And when you say default did it come with the French language installed OR did it come with English and you made the French phrases and then made that the default?

I don't understand it : "If they show up then its probably the language that has to be recached, try to submit one of the entries and see if that recaches them if not I will come up with a solution."

I found some font_color in the phrases.

vBulletin was installed in english and I put a french language and put it by default

Alright open install_fontcolor.php

find:

PHP Code:

    update_phrasegroups ( 'global' ) ;
    update_phrasegroups ( 'user' ) ; 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

    update_phrasegroups ( 'global', 2 ) ;
    update_phrasegroups ( 'user', 2 ) ; 


then reupload the new install_fontcolor.php to the admincp and run ONLY steps 4 and 5

ie: http://yourforum.com/admincp/install...lor.php?step=4

is what you should run.

That will hopefully recache the French language. Let me know if this works.

A little remark if someone use prefix on his forum :

Open file install_fontcolor.php

Ligne 61 : " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrasetype
Ligne 64 : " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase
Ligne 68 : " . TABLE_PREFIX . "language

Thanks for pointing that out, I will have to make some updates for that in the installer. Glad that we got the language problem sorted out

exactly what I wanted..... to have it for both font color and username color.... couldn't I just "copy" the hack and edit the templates and code to match $post[username] ??? or would it not be that simple

There would be no template edits necessary unless you wanted to have different colors for the username and their post, if not then the php file edit is all thats needed, and I just said to use a function call so you wouldn't have to have as much coding
