Change color of signature text, globally?

[kellijaebaeli]

Is there some way to customize signatures, globally, on my board? If it helps, I"m using the Latte theme.
I want to change the color of the signature text, to set it apart.

I'm hoping that someone either knows of an extension, or can show me what coding needs changing, and how to do that. I've done some code changes, but am not a coder.

Tested this quickly:

styles/prosilver/theme/content.css

FIND:

Code: Select all

/* Post signature */
.signature {
	margin-top: 1.5em;
	padding-top: 0.2em;
	font-size: 1.1em;
	border-top: 1px solid transparent;
	clear: left;
	line-height: 140%;
	overflow: hidden;
	width: 100%;
	}

Change to:

Code: Select all

/* Post signature */
.signature {
	margin-top: 1.5em;
	padding-top: 0.2em;
	font-size: 1.1em;
	border-top: 1px solid transparent;
	clear: left;
	line-height: 140%;
	overflow: hidden;
	width: 100%;
	color: red;
}

Change red to whatever color you want.
Purge the cache when you're done.

Thanks

latte - stylesheet.css - line 5022

Code: Select all

.signature {
  border-top-color: #e8e1cf; 
  color: #c05555; }

Choose your color for the second line color: #xxxxxx (# and the color code from the picture)

Note: if a user specifies a color for the signature in ucp, the color chosen by the user will be displayed for his signature. Unless you disable the BBCode tag: Allow BBCode in signatures: in acp (ACP - GENERAL - Signature settings on the left).

To change the color for the signature in Prosilver:
color.css line 397

Code: Select all

/* Post signature */
.signature {
	border-top-color: #CCCCCC;
	color: #c05555;
}

Tried this, using EditPad. Saved original file with different name, for safekeeping.
Changed/added these lines, saved, ftp-uploaded, overwrite the file, opened, refreshed a post to look at signature and nothing has changed.
DO i need to clean cache or log out and in?
ADDENDUM: tried logging out and in, and also purging cache, and still, no changes.|
Might it have something to do with the warning on the stylesheet saying not to edit the css?

DO NOT EDIT stylesheet.css!

Edit .scss files instead. See http://www.artodia.com/phpbb-31-tutoria ... ile-theme/
If you have any questions, please ask on support forum at http://www.artodia.com/forums/

On another post, i mentioned that the rigamarole i had to go through--THOSE instructions were insane. Several pieces of software to download and confusing, vague instructions...SO I opted to directly edit css anyway (as i've done a few times before in the past without a problem).

yes you must purge the cache after any edits to style files and refresh your browser.

however, since you are apparently going to be doing a lot of changes you should do this;
admin panel, left menu near the bottom: Load settings.
change "recompile stale style components" to yes.
purge the cache
refresh your browser.

now, when you make changes to the style files and upload them back, all you have to do is refresh your browser to see the changes.

Okay, i did that. THANK YOU.
Will see if that helps.

Thank you, ELias. That worked to change the color. I am using Latte theme, but i searched the code for "sig" and found the proper area. Appreciate that!

Hello kellijaebaeli, please take a look:

My mistake - because I felt stressed because color changes in the prosilver belong in the color.css and not in the content.css. But the style Latte is in SASS configurated, so of course it still needs to be adjusted. And yes the stylesheet is not allowed to be changed

Signatur color changes in style Latte:
Download and install this ext: https://www.artodia.com/threads/sass-co ... -3-1.2186/

Insert in _custom.scss

Code: Select all

/* Post signature */
.signature {
	color: #c05555;
}

insert in _custom_config.scss
// $post-signatur-text-color: #c05555 !default; // Signatur color

Go to acp - CUSTOMIZE - Compile Themes (on the left) - Style Latte is displayed

Code: Select all

Latte
Style path: styles/latte/ 	SCSS files have been recently updated. Recompilation might be needed.

Click on: Compile theme purche the cache - The change was accepted and is displayed in my adapted style.

Did it work or did it not work?

I'm confused.

just a quick note... if you are making a lot of style changes to 1 style, any future updates that will have to be applied will undo all of the changes. in that case, i made a very simple extension that does all of my changes so when i update my styles, i don't have to redo them every time i update my styles

[Tastenplayer]

You're right, of course. But the style latte is configured with SASS and already contains two custom files where you have to add your customizations.
And if a change should be integrated directly into the prosilver, then at least in the correct css!

[kellijaebaeli]

Yes it finally worked, but all the other problems meant that i gave up and changed to prosilver theme, hoping to have more support. The latte theme is problematic in so many ways, and there's very little real support.

I don't have time to do things the hardest way. I need the path of least resistance, while still getting something close to my goals.

You've been very nice and helpful, but I think sometimes the coding geniuses on here forget that it's not everyone's forte. It doesn't make us stupid, it just means our skills are elsewhere and all this falls under "necessary evil." I don't understand why those with the skillset don't create more accessibility for those of us who aren't good at some of these technical aspects. I have never understood why so many people think that complicated is better than simple. Occam's Razor should rule here, but it doesn't seem to.
