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.

Cheers,

It shouldn't be too hard. Where I have the $post['message'] modified just do the same with the $post['username'].

I will look into the variables and give you a definate answer though.

alright thanks, that would help, but if you can't that's fine, I'm sure I can do it myself (I'm not THAT much of a newbie... and once I DO figure it out, I may release it as a hack...... can I have permission to use some of your code though?)

It doesn't currently support bitwise usergroup permissions, but it can be made to do so, just requires so more file and template modifications and then a few queries to insert the vbsettings, very possible if you want me to do it.

I would just make my code a function and then run the $post[username] variable through the function ( i believe the variable is actually $post[musername] ). Thats all that is required unless you wanted a different color for each the post and the username.

From what I can guess is that you used the text install, which is why I don't prefer to use text installs. In order for the text to show you need to cache the new phrases which I have done in the auto-install. In order to updated the cache run steps 4 and 5 of the installer.

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

That should fix your problem.

I don't understand, sorry ...
Which phrases ?

I installed the hack by the auto installer (html)

Is English still the default language and you created the French language as a different languageid?
