I want to increase the size of the Topic Font on the Message Index

I want to increase the size of the topic font on the message index.

Where is it specified?  MessageIndex.template.php?

What code can I use? Where do I insert?

I tried doing this on CSS but couldn't isolate just the topic tritles on the message index page.

Thanks!

1.1.21

Bump up

I suggest that you upgrade to 2.0.11 and then work from there, since 1.1x is at end of life and will cease support completely, shortly.

Unless support has already stopped, can I get an answer?

We have a high volume board with a lot of customization - upgrading is not a solution to this request nor a simple undertaking.

We will eventually invest in an upgrade.

I haven't actually used 1.1.x in years and my 1.1.x test site was deleted over a year ago...   So I don't know exactly...

but, yes, the code is generated in messageindex.template.php

Yup, 1.1.x is ultra-primitive and doesn't have the required id's and classes for CSS targetting. The code in MessageIndex.template.php is this part:

Code Select Expand

echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';


If you want to tweak it in the CSS I'd just assign a class to that span. Something like:

Code Select Expand

echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '" class="topic_link">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';


You'll probably want to do the same thing for the unread posts and unread replies listings in Recent.template.php:

Code Select Expand

<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/show_sticky.gif" align="right" alt="" style="margin: 0;" />' : '', $topic['first_post']['link'], ' <a href="', $topic['new_href'], '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" /></a> <span class="smalltext">', $topic['pages'], ' ', $txt['smf88'], ' ', $topic['board']['link'], '</span></td>


And:

Code Select Expand

' , $topic['is_sticky'] && !empty($settings['seperate_sticky_lock']) ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/show_sticky.gif" align="right" alt="" style="margin: 0;" />' : '', ' ', $topic['first_post']['link'], ' <a href="', $topic['new_href'], '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" /></a> <span class="smalltext">', $topic['pages'], '


Those gruesome piles of hyena droppings are a bit trickier, because you don't have a handy span in the markup to throw a class at. What I suggest doing is changing $topic['first_post']['link'] to $topic['first_post']['href'] (which will still work) and then wrapping that in a span. So:

Code Select Expand

<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/show_sticky.gif" align="right" alt="" style="margin: 0;" />' : '', ' <span class=""topic_link">', $topic['first_post']['href'], '</span> <a href="', $topic['new_href'], '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" /></a> <span class="smalltext">', $topic['pages'], ' ', $txt['smf88'], ' ', $topic['board']['link'], '</span></td>


And:

Code Select Expand

' , $topic['is_sticky'] && !empty($settings['seperate_sticky_lock']) ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/show_sticky.gif" align="right" alt="" style="margin: 0;" />' : '', ' <span class=""topic_link">', $topic['first_post']['href'], '</span> <a href="', $topic['new_href'], '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" /></a> <span class="smalltext">', $topic['pages'], '

Actually I had brain in neutral with that last post and forgot a bit. You'd need to add in the anchor tags for the first post link for it to work in Recent.template.php. So for this:

Code Select Expand

<span class="topic_link">', $topic['first_post']['href'], '</span>

Substitute this:

Code Select Expand

<a href="' , $topic['first_post']['href'], '" class=""topic_link">', $context['subject'], '</a>

Then targetting .topic_link in the CSS should still deal with them all.

Thanks so much. We'll work with this.
