[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.

Hi there,

I get this message when I try to install your code..

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ']' in /home/sites/3-cubed.net/public_html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3587) : eval()'d code on line 128

First, the error FENIX is getting is a syntax error... check to make sure you're opening and closing all of your quotes.

I haven't had a chance to play around with making this work in quotes, but here's what I got set up on 3.6.8 that seems to be working very well...

First, create 3 new fields via User Profile Fields -> Add New Profile Field

Field 1:
---------
Type: Single-Line Text Box

Title: Default Post Color

Description: Set the default color for your posts in hexadecimal format (e.g. #FF0000 = red). Hexadecimal color codes work like this: #[red][green][blue], with FF being the highest and 00 being the lowest. Look up hexadecimal in Wikipedia if you'd like a more in depth explanation.

Max Length: 9
Field Length: 15
Required: No
Editable: Yes
Searchable: No
Member List: No

----------
Field 2
----------
Type: Single-Selection Menu

Title: Default Post Font

Description: Set the default font for your posts.

Options:Arial
Book Antiqua
Century Gothic
Comic Sans
Courier
Courier New
Garamond
Georgia
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Verdana
[whatever else you want to add/remove, etc.]

Set Default: Yes, Including first blank...

Required: No
Editable: Yes
Searchable: No
Member List: No

----------
Field 3
----------
Type: Single-Selection Menu

Title: Default Post Font Size

Description: Select the default size of the text in your posts.

Options:9pt
10pt
12pt
13pt
[whatever else you want to add/remove, etc.]

Set Default: Yes, Including first blank...

Required: No
Editable: Yes
Searchable: No
Member List: No
-------------------------------

Take a look at User Profile Field Manager and record the field names (e.g., field5, field6, etc.) for the fields you just created.

Now replace COLOR, SIZE, and FONT in the below code with your field names.
it's bold, because it's important

-------------------------------
Find and replace in Postbit Templates -> postbit:

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

with

<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
<if condition="$post['COLOR'] != ''">
   <span style="color: $post[COLOR];">
</if>
<if condition="$post['FONT'] != ''">
   <span style="font-family: '$post[FONT]';">
</if>
<if condition="$post['SIZE'] != ''">
   <span style="font-size: $post[SIZE];">
</if>
    $post[message]
<if condition="$post['SIZE'] != ''">
   </span>
</if>
<if condition="$post['FONT'] != ''">
   </span>
</if>
<if condition="$post['COLOR'] != ''">
   </span>
</if>
</div>

-----------------------------
Find and replace in Postbit Templates -> postbit_legacy:

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

<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
<if condition="$post['COLOR'] != ''">
   <span style="color: $post[COLOR];">
</if>
<if condition="$post['FONT'] != ''">
   <span style="font-family: '$post[FONT]';">
</if>
<if condition="$post['SIZE'] != ''">
   <span style="font-size: $post[SIZE];">
</if>
    $post[message]
<if condition="$post['SIZE'] != ''">
   </span>
</if>
<if condition="$post['FONT'] != ''">
   </span>
</if>
<if condition="$post['COLOR'] != ''">
   </span>
</if>
</div>

I hope this helps... if I have time, I'll look into dropping in a color chooser and making it work in quotes.

Any idea to port this on VB4?
