could you post some screen shots of this?
also does this change every mod/admin post? or can they choose to have a few posts normal?

Hi,

I edited the reserved post for author to add a demo link and 2 screenshots.

In this version, all admin and moderators posts are colorized. In the next version, there will have a checkbox in posting.php to enable/disable this feature for the post.

Best,

awesome, I always wanted an Administrative comment, I'll have to edit the next version to have to use a picture of mine instead of just the background color changing

but AWESOME mod..

Hi, Théonaute !!!
Nice idea !!
One thing: there is a mistake in the install instuctions

In language/en/acp/board.php it says to add

Code: Select all

//Begin : Colored background messages for admin and moderators
$lang = array_merge($lang, array(
	'LOAD_CBGM_ADMINS'			=> 'Change background color for administrators\' posts.',
	'LOAD_CBGM_ADMINS_EXPLAIN'		=> 'When reading a topic, administrators' background color posts is change.',
	'LOAD_CBGM_MODOS'			=> 'Change background color for moderators\' posts.',
	'LOAD_CBGM_MODOS_EXPLAIN'		=> 'When reading a topic, moderator' background color posts is change, if moderators have moderators'permissions in the current forum.',
));
//End : Colored background messages for admin and moderators

It should write

Code: Select all

//Begin : Colored background messages for admin and moderators
$lang = array_merge($lang, array(
	'LOAD_CBGM_ADMINS'			=> 'Change background color for administrators\' posts.',
	'LOAD_CBGM_ADMINS_EXPLAIN'		=> 'When reading a topic, administrators\' background color posts is change.',
	'LOAD_CBGM_MODOS'			=> 'Change background color for moderators\' posts.',
	'LOAD_CBGM_MODOS_EXPLAIN'		=> 'When reading a topic, moderator\' background color posts is change, if moderators have moderators\'permissions in the current forum.',
));
//End : Colored background messages for admin and moderators

apart from that it works great

The MOD team will be uploading a fixed version soon ... my screw up on letting the parse error get through.

I'm confuse for this error in the install file

Thanks for reporting it.

Great mod!

My only problem is with the settings in the ACP. I can't seem to find or add them.

[I turned it off by using same default background color for moderators.]

will this work on a black background theme?

Théonaute · Post by **Théonaute** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 7:27 am

You can set a different color in the css.
There is an explanation about how to do this in the DIY instructions, in the bottom of the install file.

I just tried this out on my test board

I am using Divine Black and the black posting backgrounds override the mod/admin colors completely
