ColorizePost

[spazz]

okie dokie

my tech support actually installed this mod. i don't see it under premissions. But it seems like in the profile under layout options that the code is there. but the scroll bars are blank accept for text? I have no idea.

I was finally able to install ColorizePost 2.0 (SMF 1.1.8 ) and my posters are ecstatic.  This is, by far, their favorite feature of the entire forum.


I only have two questions; they may be issues you've heard of before but I've not found them on this thread.

1.)  Is it normal that when you have a default color/font set in your profiles and you quote someone in a post, the quote loses all its color and font and becomes very small and hard to read? 

2.)  Is it normal that what you type appears black as you type, no matter what your default is and doesn't appear as color in Preview (even though it does post correctly)?



If these are not normal and there are file edits you recommend, I would really appreciate it.



It is an amazing mod and my posters just love it.   There is a "What Is Your Favorite Feature" thread and this won, hands down. 


EDIT:  I  just read back over this and I somehow manage to make the word "normal" seem sarcastic.  I don't mean to do that, at all.  I botched that.  *grin*  Thanks.

This mod will only use the color, size and font style for displaying posts. They are not used anywhere else (typing, previewing etc.) They are not saved in the database so when you quote a message, the features are lost. The size of text in a quoted message will depend on the text size defined in your CSS.

Thank you for explaining it; I understand, now.

My posters have always asked me to try to find something that would let them set a default color in their profiles so that they wouldn't have to select a color every time they post and they are ecstatic about this mod; I can't tell you how happy they are.  *grin*

Thanks so much!

If your custom theme isn't supported, you have to edit your Display.template.php file manually.

@xxwckdxx
I'll get back to you.

<edit>
Your Load.php looks fine.  This mod detects the theme a poster is using and the color works only if the poster and the reader are using the same theme.

Bulakol sorry didnt update this post i restored a backup because i was having a couple other problems and i got it working anyway to add "bold, italic, underline" in the future?

[Bulakbol]

Opps sorry. I didn't notice your reply. I am not sure if I will add those features. I was thinking that posters can use the bbc so I did only the color, font and size.

What do I need to add to my Display.template.php file?

@Tracey12
Which theme are you using?

OverViewLight.

Attach your Display.template.php and I'll try to look at it when I have time.

I am using SMF 1.1.8 & downloaded the first version on this mod (because I did not like the drop down color choices. I wanted to give my members the option of using hex codes). How would I go about removing the part of this mod that makes it so the poster and the reader have to be using the same theme for this to work? I use the Highlight Message Backgrounds mod and made it so every theme displays the same light gray background so that all font colors are possible to read no matter what theme a member is using. So, this part of this mod is useless to me. Thanks in advance for your help. This is a great mod.

@flamechica
Thanks for using/trying this mod. I am very busy right now and rarely have time to look at my mods. But I will check the code when I have time and remove the theme checking lines.

[flamechica]

Thanks that would be greatly appreciated.

Did you forget about me? 

[Citizen Erased]

I have the same question as flamechica.

Is there a way to show the font color in all the themes (at the same time)?

I made some weird changes in load.php, but none of them work, so I need help.

Please, (God) help us! (?)

[Bulakbol]

Sorry guys. Very busy still. I will let you know when I am done removing the theme checking lines.
