Default Font/Size/Color in a Post.

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.)

        <!--/APPLE DEFAULT FONT HAT--> 


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

[ffevo]

Anyway, That my memebers could just type in a color? and it will update to the database?

[rockerBOO]

I would suggest this to be instead of the font tag >_>

PHP Code:

2) Open Postbit Templates -> postbit (or postbit_legacy)

FIND:
    $post[message] 


There may be DIV tags around it, leave those alone!

REPLACE WITH:

    <if condition="$post[deffont] || $post[defsize] || $post[defcolor]">
        <span style="font-family: $post[deffont]; font-size:$post[defsize]; color: $post[defcolor];">$post[message]</span>
        <else />
        $post[message]
    </if> 


also for you ffevo

PHP Code:

 <select name="defcolor" id="sel_defcolor">
                            <option value="Black">Black</option>
                            <option value="Blue">Blue</option>
                            <option value="Red">Red</option>
                            <option value="Green">Green</option>
                            <option value="Orange">Orange</option>
                            <option value="Yellow">Yellow</option>
                            <option value="Pink">Pink</option>
                        </select> 


replace that in the hack with

PHP Code:

 <input type="text" size="20" name="defcolor" id="sel_defcolor" />

Bump! (work in 3.6?)

And what's the state of this hack? Does it use custom user fields or? Support Bold/Italic? Color?


Thanks!
Barry

[Zelos]

I'd also like to know if this works in 3.6.

[NoKz]

I have it installed and working great with 3.6. Thanks for this!

[dknelson]

I've just installed it on 3.6.1 and it works fine. Sure wish this hack hadn't been dropped though. There are a couple of things needed to complete it.

1. When the options are set, I wish it would retain them when you go back to view your set options.

2. I wish there was a "default" option at the top of each list so that a user could go back to default if they desire.

[SnapOff Racing]

anyone know if this hack or one idential has a bold option?

[apiasto]

great work been looking for it very easy to install thanx. wont mind the bold option
