Personal Font/Color in Posts

Allow users to change what color/font their posts are in threads Via UserCP

[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] "Your Font Color In Posts"

[high]Description:[/high] This is the color of the font in which will appear in your posts. (Ex: #ff0000 is red)

[high]Display Size:[/high] 11

[high]Max length of allowed user input:[/high] 8


[high]HIT SAVE[/high]



[high]Step 2[/high]
[high]Go to User Profile Fields >> Add New User Profile Field[/high]

Choose A "Single-Line Text Box"

[high]Title:[/high] "Your Font In Posts"

[high]Description:[/high] This is the font in which will appear in your posts. (Ex: Tahoma)

[high]Display Size:[/high] 15

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


[high]HIT SAVE[/high]


[high]Step 3[/high]
Now go to edit your postbit template and search for this code:

$post[message]

Replace it with this

<if condition="$post['fieldx'] != '' OR $post['fieldx'] != ''">

<font style="font-family:$post[fieldx]; color:$post[fieldx];">$post[message]</font>

 

     <else />

$post[message]

</if>

Replace the first x in the condition statement with the ID of the ?Your Font Color In Posts? profile field, and replace the second with the ?Your Font In Posts? profile field. The X in font-family will be the id for the field in which you created in the first step and the X in color will be the id for the field in which you created in the first step. 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.

To use this hack for 3.6.2

Look for this in your postbit or legacy...

<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>
</if>

Replace with this...

<if condition="$post['fieldx'] != '' OR $post['fieldx'] != ''">

<font style="font-family:$post[fieldx]; color:$post[fieldx];">$post[message]</font>

     <else />
        <div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>
</if>

Don't forget to change the X's to whatever fields you specified originally.

I had to alter my code again.. something had messed things up... but not sure how many people use my version of the code here?

Updated my post! ^^

Fixed the glitches, made it work right, now only selected usergroups can use the function, but everyone will be allowed to still see what they used. Just their own posts wont be changed unless they too are in that usergroup.

Hi. I am trying to get this to work for VB3.6.2 and can't seem to figure out what I did wrong. I copied the codes, changed the fields and the font is the only thing that works. Unfortunately I want this for the color. Here is what I am using:

<!-- message -->
<if condition="$post['field8'] != '' OR $post['field8'] != ''">

<font style="font-family:$post[field9]; color:$post[field9];">$post[message]</font>

     <else />
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>
</if>
<!-- / message -->

Any help would be very appreciated!

You have your field#'s wrong. Try this...

<!-- message -->
<if condition="$post['field9'] != '' OR $post['field8'] != ''">

<font style="font-family:$post[field8]; color:$post[field9];">$post[message]</font>

     <else />
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>
</if>
<!-- / message -->

Oh? What version? My code is for 3.5.x I mean you can see a working version on http://forums.qj.net which I have it all set. =D Added a nice feature to premium users.

uhh, whenever I try to install this hack, it always disables Quick Edit, which sucks. Is there any way around it?
