This is a simple little hack taht allows users to specify a color by name or hex code in theor profile.

If they do (we'll use limegreen as the color they chose for examples) then all their posts from that point on will have
[color=limegreen ] and [/color ] surrounding them.

It does not retroactively affect previous posts. Only new ones.
If they post as limegreen for a day, then change to red, all their limegreen posts stay that way.

The hack involves adding 3 lines of code to 2 different files (same 3 lines for both files) and creating a Custom Profile field.

Yeah, but I'm lazy.

I just figured it'd be good for the next version (if you plan on updating). Thanks again for a nice hack.

Well, i'm glad to see people like this... it sat here for several days with no one relpying or installing it...

Yeah, it's pretty simpistic, but it's nice and people like it.

One of our members had fun annoying everyone... our table colors are #222222 and #333333

He used this and set it to #222222 so you could barely read what he wrote... or not at all!

For font... it's just the same. Just change all occurances of the word color to font...

It should be easy if you read the code.

Works great on version 2.2.0 as well.

Dalius · #25 03-01-2002, 09:59 PM

2.2.2 version please!

Austin Dea · #26 03-01-2002, 10:39 PM

erm....is it just me or does this hack seem way too involved....all i did was:

-added the profile field 'Color'

And in the postbit template, I replaced this

Code:

<p><normalfont>$post[message]</normalfont></p>

with

Code:

<p><normalfont><FONT COLOR="$post[field5]">$post[message]</font></normalfont></p>

of course, the [field5] should be changed to whatever that field # is..

Did I miss something, does this hack do something different?

and this should work on any version....i don't see any reason why not...

AD your hack worked for me just fine thanks!

Austin Dea · #28 03-03-2002, 12:55 AM

Zedd · #29 04-05-2002, 02:51 AM

Even that is too involed....you can just use

Code:

<p><normalfont color="$post[field5]">$post[message]</normalfont></p>

No need for two tags.
