Personal Font/Color in Posts

Allow users to change what color/font their posts are in threads Via UserCP

[high]Step 1[/high]
[high]Go to User Profile Fields >> Add New User Profile Field[/high]

Choose A "Single-Line Text Box"

[high]Title:[/high] "Your Font Color In Posts"

[high]Description:[/high] This is the color of the font in which will appear in your posts. (Ex: #ff0000 is red)

[high]Display Size:[/high] 11

[high]Max length of allowed user input:[/high] 8


[high]HIT SAVE[/high]



[high]Step 2[/high]
[high]Go to User Profile Fields >> Add New User Profile Field[/high]

Choose A "Single-Line Text Box"

[high]Title:[/high] "Your Font In Posts"

[high]Description:[/high] This is the font in which will appear in your posts. (Ex: Tahoma)

[high]Display Size:[/high] 15

[high]Max length of allowed user input:[/high] 20


[high]HIT SAVE[/high]


[high]Step 3[/high]
Now go to edit your postbit template and search for this code:

$post[message]

Replace it with this

<if condition="$post['fieldx'] != '' OR $post['fieldx'] != ''">

<font style="font-family:$post[fieldx]; color:$post[fieldx];">$post[message]</font>

 

     <else />

$post[message]

</if>

Replace the first x in the condition statement with the ID of the ?Your Font Color In Posts? profile field, and replace the second with the ?Your Font In Posts? profile field. The X in font-family will be the id for the field in which you created in the first step and the X in color will be the id for the field in which you created in the first step. To view the id of the field created go to the "Profile Field Manager" and find the field ID of the field you made. (This appears under the "Name" column). It should show as fieldx where x is the ID.

Is there a way to keep it from showing what color you're using in the user profile?

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but you can also make the font option a pull-down menu. Keep in mind I know almost nothing, but instead of this:

Step 2
Go to User Profile Fields >> Add New User Profile Field

Choose A "Single-Line Text Box"

Title: "Your Font In Posts"

Description: This is the font in which will appear in your posts. (Ex: Tahoma)

Display Size: 15

Max length of allowed user input: 20

I did:

Step 2
Go to User Profile Fields >> Add New User Profile Field

Choose A "Single-Selection Menu"

Title: Your font in posts

Description: Select the font you would like to set as default for your posts.

Options:

Arial
Arial Black
Arial Narrow
Book Antiqua
Century Gothic
Comic Sans MS
Courier New
Franklin Gothic Medium
Garamond
Georgia
Impact
Lucida Console
Lucida Sans Unicode
Microsoft Sans Serif
Palatino Linotype
System
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana

Set default: Yes, but No First Blank Option

Field Required: No

Field editable by user: Yes

It's easier, because (from my understanding) they don't have to try to guess what fonts are available. They just click the pull-down and select. Everything else is the same.

It's working in my forum, anyway.

Any chance of a drop down for the colours too?

Cheers.

<div id="post_message_$post[postid]"><if condition="$post['field9'] != '' OR $post['field10'] != ''">

<font style="font-family:$post[field10]; color:$post[field9];">$post[message]</font>

hmm not working for me.

Font colour = field 9
Font = field10

if i done it wrong can u correct it for me please

[cOuNtErFiET]

anyway to get this applied to the vbShout some members have been complaining that they want the font color they pick to stay instead of having to re-pick the color when they refresh or click on another forum and all of that...im sure just have to edit the vbshout code to call the if statement right? Below is what im thinkning...

<if condition="$post['fieldx'] != '' OR $post['fieldx'] != ''">
<font style="font-family:$post[fieldx]; color:$post[fieldx];">POST_SHOUTBOX_MESSAGE</font>
<else />
POST_SHOUTBOX_MESSAGE
</if>
