Default Font/Size/Color in a Post.

Default Font/Color/Size in a Post
This hack will allow your users to set there default font that will appear in there posts from the User CP.


Yes, I know this can be done with custome user feilds, but I dont like those because they change on every persons site...this just makes more sence.
(Remember that this is a Product! Use the product manager!)

This releace does not have the plugin required to get the defaults for a user back out of the database so that users dont have to reset there defaults every time they visit the options page. If you want to write this part, be my guest. (Because I realy dont know how.)

Template Edits:

1) Open Modify User Option Templates -> modifyoptions

FIND:

PHP Code:

<thead>
    <tr>
        <td class="thead">
            <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('uopt_thrd')"><img id="collapseimg_uopt_thrd" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_uopt_thrd].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
            $vbphrase[thread_display_options]
        </td>
    </tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_uopt_thrd" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_uopt_thrd]">
    <tr>
        <td class="panelsurround" align="center">
        <div class="panel">
            <div style="width:$stylevar[formwidth_usercp]" align="$stylevar[left]"> 


ADD BELOW:

PHP Code:

            <!--APPLE DEFAULT FONT HACK-->
        <fieldset class="fieldset">
                <legend><label for="deffont">$vbphrase[default_font_TITLE]</label></legend>
                <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" width="100%">
                <tr>
                    <td>$vbphrase[default_font_DESC]</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>
                     
                        <select name="deffont" id="sel_deffont">
                            <option value="Arial">Arial</option>
                            <option value="Verdana">Verdana</option>
                            <option value="Lucida Console">Lucida Console</option>
                            <option value="Century Gothic">Century Gothic</option>
                            <option value="Times New Roman">Times New Roman</option>
                
                        </select>
            <select name="defsize" id="sel_defsize">
                            <option value="1">1</option>
                            <option value="2">2</option>
                            <option value="3">3</option>
                            <option value="4">4</option>
                            <option value="5">5</option>
                            <option value="6">6</option>
                            <option value="7">7</option>
                        </select>

                            <option value="Black">Black</option>
                            <option value="Blue">Blue</option>
                            <option value="Red">Red</option>
                            <option value="Green">Green</option>
                            <option value="Orange">Orange</option>
                            <option value="Yellow">Yellow</option>
                            <option value="Pink">Pink</option>
                        </select>
               </td>
                </tr>
                </table>
            </fieldset>  
        <!--/APPLE DEFAULT FONT HAT--> 


2) Open Postbit Templates -> postbit (or postbit_legacy)

FIND:

PHP Code:

$post[message] 


There may be DIV tags around it, leave those alone!

REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

    <if condition="$post[deffont] || $post[defsize] || $post[defcolor]">
    <font face="$post[deffont]" size="$post[defsize]" color="$post[defcolor]">$post[message]</font>
    <else />
    $post[message]
    </if> 


If you know any better way of doing what I am doing (like possibly pulling the font, size, and color options from the same place the editor pulls them) please tell me. I admit to being a n00b

Both if you use both, or in just the one you use. I do both because my members can choose what postbit look they can see.

ETA ~ I am using this is the very latest vb (3.6.7) and it is working fine. I added it after the upgrade was done to the board, it wasn't installed when I did the upgrade.

It's working on 3.6.7 for me, as well, but I'd still like to figure out how to get the thing not to reset whenever you go to UserCP > Options. That gets really annoying.
