How about a setting in profile to select default font and/or color for the member's post?  I know I've seen that before, I think on an ikonBoard.



[edit] changed title [edit]

What exactly does this option do. I didn't get it. Do you mean every usergroup should have another colour in posts?

I think he means setting a default font and color for the messages you post on the forum. You can change them using SMFC and I think he wants to set set the default per user in the profile.

I mean let each member select their own font color/style so their posts will always default to that color/style unless they select a different color/style ... and um... I'm female.

Sounds like it would probably be a very simple Mod, actually.. I'll look into it when SMF is available.

Thanks Brian

I know one person on my forum ALWAYS does every post in blue sup.

^{something like this.}

I know I've thouhgt about adding this feature to my board at least...

-[Unknown]

I'd definately be up for that feature :)

Thanks,

-mark

Well, considering that next time I set up a forum, I'm planning to disable the font, size, color, shadow, glow tags (at least), I most probably would not care for this feature.

I can see, though, how many would value it, if not built-in, as a mod at least.

In a forum I created, most users had their own style, certain combinations of the above mentioned tags and sometimes even move. That's where I got the phobia that made me want to disable them all in the future. :P

Perhaps this is what you're after?

-[Unknown]

I stuck this on... The only thing I could find was in the profile, under layout and settings there were two new windows... The description for each was ":" - just a colon... so I don't know if these are boxes for the colour setup or not.. and if they were, how do you use them?

Thanks,

Mark.

Not working for me. I tried in RC2 and RC1. Also I have to manually add the language to the Modifications.english.php even though the Package Manager tells me that the installation was successful.

It also adds a checkbox to Current Theme Settings, with no desciption to it..

add this to your Modifications.english.php
$txt['bbc_before'] = 'Automatic BBC Before Posts';
$txt['bbc_after'] = 'Automatic BBC After Posts';
$txt['disallow_auto_bbc'] = 'Disallow automatic BBC';

but even so, it's still not working now unless I am adding the tags incorrectly.

So do you put the open bbc tags in the first box in your profile, and the close bbc tags in the second box?

Yes, from what I understand. That's what I did, I tried simple bold tags but it doesn't work for me.

Oops, not "add above", "add before"...

It works! Great stuff!

Nice one. Works great. I really like it.  :)

Just out of curiosity, where exactly is that custom information stored (tags)? I don't see them stored in the database anywhere.

It's in the themes (theme options and settings) table.

-[Unknown]

If a message is wrapped with this new mod using a color tag, for example, and another one is used again in the message, wouldn't this nest them?

It only does this when posting.  If you edit a message, it doesn't add them.

The downside is that if you quote a message, it also doesn't add them.  It also doesn't work with quick reply.  It was a quick patch and really only meant to show how it could be done....

-[Unknown]

So is it a possible feature then? ? ?

The "auto bbc" is a big hit in my forum.

Will this mod by any chance make it in to 1.1?

worked like a charm thanks!

I am also wondering if it could be made a default feature in 1.1 ;D

I think it's better as a mod.

Little problem on Log Errors of 1.0.1 :

8: Undefined index: bbc_before
File: /var/www/html/community/Themes/default/languages/Post.italian.php (eval?)
Linea: 881

PS : my italian language is correct ;)

Just make this:

      if (trim($options['bbc_before']) != '' && trim($options['bbc_after']) != '')

Instead this:

      if (trim(@$options['bbc_before']) != '' && trim(@$options['bbc_after']) != '')

-[Unknown]

Work fine ! ;)

Thank you :)

Quote from: madfiddler on January 22, 2005, 09:00:08 PM
Why?

Cause then only those that want it install it. :)

Apart from those not using the default theme... but who arn't capable of understanding the package and doing it by hand ;) er :(

This mod needs to be updated.

Also, I am getting errors... LOTS of them...

-[Unknown]

Did you do this?

-[Unknown]

Yes, I did...

But somewhere along the line I must have replaced the Post.template.php file with an old backup and it was missing again. 

Thanks

if ($message == '' && empty($settings['disallow_auto_bbc']))
{
if (trim(@$options['bbc_before']) != '' && trim(@$options['bbc_after']) != '')
$message = @$options['bbc_before'] . "\n\n" . @$options['bbc_after'];
else
$message = @$options['bbc_before'] . @$options['bbc_after'];
}

Is that right?

I thought I had this fixed, but I am still getting pages and pages of errors.  All occur during action=post either to a board or a pm

8: Undefined index: bbc_before
File: ... /forum/Themes/default/languages/Post.english.php (eval?)
Line: 640

if ($message == '' && empty($settings['disallow_auto_bbc']))
{
if (!isset($options['bbc_before']))
$options['bbc_before'] = '';
if (!isset($options['bbc_after']))
$options['bbc_after'] = '';

if (trim($options['bbc_before']) != '' && trim($options['bbc_after']) != '')
$message = $options['bbc_before'] . "\n\n" . $options['bbc_after'];
else
$message = $options['bbc_before'] . $options['bbc_after'];
}

Try that.

Can someone please make the mod [Unknown] posted in this thread compatible with 1.1, My users are loving this!
Maybe it should be standard feature.

I would like to see it on version 1.1 too

please?

This should work For 1.1 RC1 ONLY!

<search for>
   // Finally the most important bit - the actual text box to write in!
</search for>

I can't find this one... I'm using the classic theme

nevermind, I figured it out..

Thank YOU!

 :)
I am going to try this.
Thank for your effort!

any update for 1.1RC2 yet?

it works on rc2 almost perfectly on rc2, just doesn't work with quick reply..

Any updat for 1.1 rc3 ??

Please

thanks Dyrome

http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=408

We used this on our forums but I can't get this to install with 1.1.1

If you are not getting "Failure" notices but instead don't see a link to install or are getting a message saying the mod is not compatible with your version of SMF try going to the package manager index page on your forum and adding ;version_emulate=1.1 to the end of the url and then pressing enter to run the url. This might work if the mod was specified to only install for certain versions. If you actually happen to get a failure message on a file though, then don't proceed.

if there´s another option for every user to set a default font ?

does this work for 2.0 RC3?

can we get this on new version 2.0 please guys
can we have  colour mods to change board names/ membergroups/ etc for version 2.0
can we also have a colour membergroup legend  for version 2.0
tidy child boards version 2.0

i dont want much do i lol
thx guys i know your all busy but these would be most greatful

I can only echo KIMBAL'S post I would love to see these same mods available on this version for my forum too, maybe a few more on the cosmetics side as well to be honest, more colors etc in the boards. Our member's are questioning our thinking about upgrading to this version but I am confident we have done the right thing and at the end of the day I believe in moving forward with software, not back. We all appreciate your all busy people but can we please have more mods asap.
