Announcement link colour

[MickDoneDee]

Hi, I'd like to change the announcement link colour to yellow instead of blue to make it stand out. I was told to modify forumdisplay_announcement.

I've had a look at the code and I'm not sure how to modify it. I'd like to make the text yellow using #FFFF99. Can someone help?

I'm referring specifically to the title link colour as it appears in the thread list - not the message text. At the moment it is #22229C.

Regards, Mike
Using vB 3.0.0

The default code is:

<tr>
<td class="alt1"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/announcement_$announcement[statusicon].gif" border="0" alt="$vbphrase[announcement]" /></td>
<td class="alt2" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadicons']">5<else />4</if>">
<div>
<span class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]">$vbphrase[views]: <strong>$announcement[views]</strong> <a href="announcement.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]$announcementidlink"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a></span>
<strong>$vbphrase[announcement]</strong>: <a href="announcement.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]$announcementidlink">$announcement[title]</a>
</div>
<div>
<span class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]">$announcement[postdate]</span>
<span class="smallfont"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$announcement[userid]" target="_blank">$announcement[username]</a> ($announcement[usertitle])</span>
</div>
</td>
</tr>

Replace it with this:

 <tr>
 <td class="alt1"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/announcement_$announcement[statusicon].gif" border="0" alt="$vbphrase[announcement]" /></td>
 <td class="alt2" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadicons']">5<else />4</if>">
 <div>
 <span class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]">$vbphrase[views]: <strong>$announcement[views]</strong> <a href="announcement.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]$announcementidlink"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a></span>
 <strong><font color="22229C">$vbphrase[announcement]</font></strong>: <a href="announcement.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]$announcementidlink">$announcement[title]</a>
 </div>
 <div>
 <span class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]">$announcement[postdate]</span>
 <span class="smallfont"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$announcement[userid]" target="_blank">$announcement[username]</a> ($announcement[usertitle])</span>
 </div>
 </td>
 </tr>

Thankyou for your help. Actually, it was $announcement[title] which I wanted to change colour - not $vbphrase[announcement].

So, I modified this section to:

<strong>$vbphrase[announcement]</strong>: <a href="announcement.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]$announcementidlink"><strong><font color="FF0000">$announcement[title]</font></strong></a>

which made the announcement title link red. Yellow and orange didn't work very well against the grey background. Anyway, I am happy with the final result. Thanks again. I thought nobody would find a solution.

My bad, I misread your post. I'm glad you got it worked out successfully, though!



Take care,
