Any chance to change the "topic title color" ?!?

[kyle007]

I want a topic's title red...Only one topic's...And also  wanna make it bold....

Any way to do this ?
_________________________________________

Solution :

Sources/MessageIndex.php :

Code (find) Select Expand

// 'Print' the topic info.

and above it, add

Code Select Expand


$color = $row['ID_TOPIC'] == '6395' ? 'red' : '';
$weight = $row['ID_TOPIC'] == '6395' ? 'font-weight: bold;' : '';


*6395 is the topic ID,changeable....
___________

Then down below

Code (look for) Select Expand

'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0">' . $row['firstSubject'] . '</a>'

change it to to...

Code Select Expand

'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0" style="color: '. $color. '; '. $weight .'">' . $row['firstSubject'] . '</a>'

If you mark it as a sticky topic, you can change the CSS for .windowbg_sticky to show it red. Otherwise, I don't think there's a way to do it.

It's quite possible. Make it so that only admins can use BBcode or HTML in their post titles.

@Spaceman-Spiff ; it's true but,i just want to change one topic's color...


@ccbtimewiz  ; i didn't understand  what you said,pls can u explain it?

[Eliana Tamerin]

ccbtimewiz, that will cause bbc and html characters in the page title, which won't render properly.

[Bulakbol]

There's a way to make all topics color red. 

[ccbtimewiz]

ccbtimewiz, that will cause bbc and html characters in the page title, which won't render properly.

Simply strip HTML tags in the page title.

Code Select Expand

strip_tags($context['page_title'])

[Eliana Tamerin]

Allowing HTML tags opens up security and layout destruction possibilities. BBC would be much safer, though I'm not sure there's a strip BBC function.

[ccbtimewiz]

...

You would obviously use BBcode in the title. Then when it converts into the title, it would obviously be HTML seeing how BBcode transgorates into HTML. At that point, you would strip the HTML.

There's no difference.

Back to the topic. 

The MessageIndex.template.php refers to the topic link so you can't change the color from there. You have to change the color in the Source file. And if you are willing to edit your MessageIndex.php, here's my solution.

Code (find) Select Expand

// 'Print' the topic info.

and above it, add

Code Select Expand

$color = $row['ID_TOPIC'] == '122' ? 'red' : '';

The number '122' is the topic id number. Change it with your topic id and change the color.

Then down below

Code (look for) Select Expand

'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0">' . $row['firstSubject'] . '</a>'


and replace with

Code Select Expand

'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0" style="color: '. $color. ';">' . $row['firstSubject'] . '</a>'

@JohnyB ;

thx,i think it's the solution,but i could't find "// 'Print' the topic info." in MessageIndex.template.php, i use a different theme,couldn't find it even in the default theme... :S

Also the other codes started with "'link' => '<a href="'......."

?

[Bulakbol]

Sorry if my message confused you but if you will read it again, you'll find out that I was talking about Sources/MessageIndex.php and not the template. The file you have to edit is Sources/MessageIndex.php and you can find it in the Sources folder.

[kyle007]

OMG Thx so much JohnyB , it really works...Thx...

Sorry but a little que, can i make that topic also "bold" ?

[Kender]

style="color: '. $color. '; font-weight: bold;">


just a snip of what you have already changed with the edit to make it bold

[kyle007]

Ops, all the topics became bold with both of yours way..... 

[Bulakbol]

If you don't like Kender's way, then we have to change our codes.

Replace the

Code Select Expand

$color = $row['ID_TOPIC'] == '122' ? 'red' : '';

with

Code Select Expand

if ($row['ID_TOPIC'] == '122')
$link = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0" style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">' . $row['firstSubject'] . '</a>';
else
$link = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0">' . $row['firstSubject'] . '</a>';

and the

Code Select Expand

'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0" style="color: '. $color. ';">' . $row['firstSubject'] . '</a>'

with

Code Select Expand

'link' => $link,

[Kender]

Code Select Expand

$weight = $row['ID_TOPIC'] == '122' ? 'font-weight: bold;' : '';


Code Select Expand

'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0" style="color: '. $color. '; '. $weight .'">' . $row['firstSubject'] . '</a>'


[kyle007]

Kender thx but what should i put between the color and bold codes ?

Code Select Expand

$color = $row['ID_TOPIC'] == '6395'  ? 'red' : '' ? 'font-weight: bold;' : '';

[Kender]

reread my message

you would put my first line of text above or below the $color =

then you would modify the link text to read what i wrote in my second line

Code Select Expand


$color = $row['ID_TOPIC'] == '6395' ? 'red' : '';
$weight = $row['ID_TOPIC'] == '6395' ? 'font-weight: bold;' : '';


then change the link to...

Code Select Expand

'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0" style="color: '. $color. '; '. $weight .'">' . $row['firstSubject'] . '</a>'
