Default Font/Size/Color in a Post. · **Released**: 07-31-2005

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.)

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

Here is the code for the full list of default fonts.

This code is minus the size option.

I can get the font type and colour to change, but when I add additional font sizes, they don't seem to work?

applehat · #14 08-31-2005, 02:54 AM

donno? Post up your template and maby someone can help :-O

Mijae · #15 10-01-2005, 09:28 PM

Can you add an option to ignore these settings? I want my users to be able to use this, but I hate it :P

VaaKo · #16 10-04-2005, 06:38 PM

when I try to load the xml file in the plugin manager, it gives me this:

Code:

XML Error: XML_ERR_RESERVED_XML_NAME at Line 1
