great hack, but i just added a cusom Vb code in adminCP for this very thing

using the {option} command to change colors

Matt87 · #43 08-15-2002, 03:27 PM

I thought about doing that, but there was some problems...

SgtSling · #44 08-16-2002, 03:11 AM

The following is an example of how I have mine:

vB Code tag: glow
vB Code replacement: <span id="glowtext">{param}</span>
vB Code example: [GLOW]Glow[/GLOW]
vB Code explanation: whatever you want to add
Use {option} ?: no

Go to Styles: [edit style properties] on whatever style you want

Head Insert:

Look for:

Code:

.thtcolor {
	COLOR: { tableheadtextcolor};
}

and add after: and before </style>

Code:

#glowtext{
filter:glow(color=FFFF00,strength=3);
width:100%;
}

and there you have it.

Thank you Boofo for that very insightful answer. You care to elaborate? What is the vbcode for this.

I would use it if our forum wasn't so light. Good work though.

The big problem with that is you're stuck with yellow as your glow colour. I tried it that way, then tried this:

vB Code tag: glow
vB Code replacement: <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" style="filter:glow(color={option},strength=2)"><tr ><td>{param}</td></tr></table>
vB Code example: [GLOW="#fedcba"]glowing nicely[/GLOW]
vB Code explanation: This adds a user specified coloured glow around text.
Use {option} ?: yes

It adds a specified HTML colour code or named coloured glow around text and puts it inside a table - which can be troublesome - but I'm working on a sneaky workaround on the method you posted.

I had it set up so that users could put their own colors in it but I had a certain user who seems to be color blind (although, as my wife, I love her dearly), because she kept using these colors that would blind a bat.

the original textfile instructions of this hack need to be updated, there is a huge error that makes this hack un-usable.

where it says

PHP Code:


			
Now RUN this following MYSQL QUERY:



INSERT INTO bbcode VALUES (998, 'Glowred', '<table style="filter:glow(color=red, strength=4)">4</table>', '[GLOWRED]Glow[/GLOWRED]', '', 0);

INSERT INTO bbcode VALUES (997, 'glowblue', '<table style="filter:glow(color=blue, strength=4)">4</table>', '[GLOWBLUE]Glow[/GLOWBLUE]', '', 0);

it should say

PHP Code:


			
Now RUN this following MYSQL QUERY:



INSERT INTO bbcode VALUES (998, 'Glowred', '<table style="filter:glow(color=red, strength=4)">{param}</table>', '[GLOWRED]Glow[/GLOWRED]', '', 0);

INSERT INTO bbcode VALUES (997, 'glowblue', '<table style="filter:glow(color=blue, strength=4)">{param}</table>', '[GLOWBLUE]Glow[/GLOWBLUE]', '', 0);

or you get nothing but a glowing 4 where the glowing text should be - other than that, good hack.
