Hi,

Looks like a cool mod!   8)

I am using SMF ver 2.0.11, have a semi-custom theme, and have 15 mods.

Is it possible to change the "display" from (OP)  to
(OP) {black} or
(OP) {maroon} or
(OP) {blue} ?

The idea is to "soften" the effect.

Thanks in advance,
Siirist

It looks like you could change it in this block?

// Show a link to the member's profile.
echo '
', $message['member']['link'];

// Is this poster the first poster? Also take in account any optional additional authors.
if (!empty($message['member']['is_topic_starter']) || !empty($context['add_authors'][$message['member']['id']]))
echo ' <span style="color:red">(', $txt['optv_original_poster'], ')</span>';

echo '

I think the span tag would also accommodate Hex values.  *heading off to my test site*

:)



*EDIT*   It does; works just fine.  Example:
<span style="color:#5599b6;">

Do not existed such change already? ... Possibly I mistook a modification I read somewhere already probare :)... In addition I leave the translation to the Latin Spanish :D

Modifications.spanish_latin.php and Modifications.spanish_latin-utf8.php
$txt['optv_original_poster'] = 'Autor del tema';

As you can see the other complementary changes to make translations in their respective topics;) or else tell me to send them to you!


Regards!

Purfect!!
However, I modified both the Display.template.php AND Modifications.english.php.

I ended up with just what I wanted -> (Original Poster)

I'd made mine "Author" but I like your choice much better!   ;)

Changing the color works great! Now, how do I change the size? The text is a bit 'in your face' so I'd like to make it smaller if possible.

modify the span tag style to include something like font-size:0.5em;

Kindred!   :D

Changed Display.template.php to this,
echo ' <span style="color:maroon" "font-size:0.25em">(', $txt['optv_original_poster'], ')</span>';
but size did NOT change

Changed Modifications.english.php to this,
$txt['optv_original_poster'] = '<font size="1">Original Poster</font>';
and it looks like this - the parenthesis are still "big"
See attached screenshot


Hoping to learn here, and don't think it merits starting a new topic as size it related.
Had you not posted, I was going to post "Just as I changed the color in the span tag style, change the font size by adding the font size, like this:
<span style="color:#5599b6" "size:8pt;">
Probably only one set of quotes ("blah blah blah")

Anyway, want to learn about font size. 
Sometimes it is like this > <font size="4"> (html only?), 
sometimes it is like this > Font Size=12pt, (using brackets [ ] only?)
and
sometimes it is like this > font-size:0.5em OR this > font-size:1em  (php only?)

Thoughts?

Be Well,
Siirist

no no no...

<span style="color:maroon; font-size:0.25em">

<span style="color:maroon; font-size:0.25em">

Removed my edits from the Display.template.php and Modifications.english.php and applied the code above to the Display.template.php.

:laugh:   .25em is tiny test

will raise to 0.5em or 0.75em   ;)
EDIT: Steve, I ended up using 0.65em

Thank you!!!

Thoughts on the size thing I asked about?

Be Well,

in other words, em is the way to go to keep everything relative to the things around it.
px, pt m etc are all absolute... and stay the same regardless of the surrounding responsiveness

% is just weird to use for a font...

Thank you Kindred.

Be Well,
Siirist

I went with .70em.

Thanks Siirist and Kindred! ;D

What is the code to change it from text to a image and can it be moved below the topic starter's name?

EDIT: How would you edit it so that the OP indicator isn't in the first post?

Damn, I wish I knew PHP right now.
