[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.

Don't worry about that...just pretend it isn't even there.

I've spent some time today getting this mod to work on 3.6.8 -- including the addition of font size too.

First, add a Personal Font Size field to the User Profile Fields. Make the options
Use Forum Default
medium
large

Or you can size by points
9pt
10pt
11pt
12pt



Then, in the postbit template the replacement for:

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

Is

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

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

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

Again, the "fieldx" instances need to be replaced with the three field numbers from the User Profile Field Manager. The first three can be in any order. The second three need to match the proper field numbers for font, color, and size.

Hope this helps someone.

Now when someone quotes your post, the color doesn't show up, anyone know how to make it work in quotes as well?
