Default Post Colour

Post by Netframe »

I'm on a roll with questions today, and I apologize...

I'm seeking a way to make it so admins and moderators have a post colour by default, so when they post, their text is a different colour.. I'm unsure on how to do this..

As an example.. on Blizzard Entertainment's battle.net, their mods, and admins post in blue text by default, with out having to use the font colour.

Thanks! :)

i've made a quick and dirty hack, maybe it can be useful

with my code, you can either colorize your posts by the poster's rank or his rank color

for prosilver, open styles/prosilver/templates/viewtopic_body.html

find : <div class="content">{postrow.MESSAGE}</div>
replace with :
<div class="content"><!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE eq 'Site Admin' --><font color="red">{postrow.MESSAGE}</font><!-- ELSE -->{postrow.MESSAGE}<!-- ENDIF --></div>
the above code is based on User's rank, e.g if the rank is Site Admin, it will show red color, else normal black message

Option 2:
<div class="content"><!-- IF postrow.POST_AUTHOR eq 'admin' --><font color="red">{postrow.MESSAGE}</font><!-- ELSE -->{postrow.MESSAGE}<!-- ENDIF --></div>
this code is based on username, if the poster is a user named admin, color will be red

You're the best!!!! Thank you so much!

Oh! One more thing... can I add 2 of those? One for my moderators, and the admins? I set up the Admins, but I'd like my mods to post in other colors too :)

yes its possible, if your mod's rank is for example called : Moderators, then you can alter the code as follows :

Code: Select all

<div class="content"><!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE eq 'Site Admin' --><font color="#AA0000">{postrow.MESSAGE}</font><!-- ELSEIF postrow.RANK_TITLE eq 'Moderator' --><font color="green">{postrow.MESSAGE}</font><!-- ELSE -->{postrow.MESSAGE}<!-- ENDIF --></div>
basically to add more, you do <!-- ELSEIF postrow.RANK_TITLE eq 'Moderator' --><font color="green">{postrow.MESSAGE}</font> just change the title in quotes and the color

Awesome! I have one more question... the colours are overriding white text... is there a way to fix that, or am I going to have to deal with it?

Like, I made a BBcode to bold and highlight text #FFFFFF, but it's now making it my admins colours, which is lightblue... is there a way to fix that, or ..?
