You can manually remove the theme checking from posts. In Display.template.php, find

Code Select Expand

if (isset($message['member']['theme']) && $message['member']['theme'] == $context['user']['theme_id'])
$color = !empty($message['member']['post_color']) ? $message['member']['post_color'] : (!empty($message['member']['group_color']) ? $message['member']['group_color'] : (!empty($message['member']['post_group_color']) ? $message['member']['post_group_color'] : ''));
else
$color = '';
replace with

Code Select Expand

$color = !empty($message['member']['post_color']) ? $message['member']['post_color'] : (!empty($message['member']['group_color']) ? $message['member']['group_color'] : (!empty($message['member']['post_group_color']) ? $message['member']['post_group_color'] : ''));

If that works, you can also remove the same code from PersonalMessage.template.php. It is a temporary until I update the mod.

Sorry it took me a few days to see this. It worked! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

flamechica
My pleasure. If you have other issues or request, let me know. 

[flamechica]

Sorry to be a pain, but I recently noticed that this mod must be having issues the with Member Color Link mod. So, the default color for every member is the color of the membergroup color instead of black. Could you help me fix this?

[Bulakbol]

@flamechica
If no color is specified in their profile, primary group or post group online color will be used instead. Would you like to use the default color if they don't choose any color for their post/message?

[flamechica]

Yes, I think the default color would work better. The way it is now is confusing my members. lol.

Bulakbol, I went ahead on my RC1.2 test forum and set the emulator for RC1 and installed this, since I'll be moving my posters up from 1.1.10 soon and they will be angry with me if we don't still have this mod.   

It works beautifully, but, if you have time, could I PM you a test login so that you can set up your profile defaults and try posting in order to take a look at a strange behavior that occurs in the reply box as a poster is actually typing?   The words in the reply box become invisible as you're typing and you must drag your mouse back over them to see them.  It's not a big issue and I can live with it, but I wondered, since I installed the RC1 on a RC1.2 forum, if some file will eventually have to be modified when this is made available for RC1.2?

So, is there a way to change the default color to black?

Great Mod!! Works perfect with 2.0RC 1.2!!
I wanted more color options to the drop down menu, Was disappointed because the earlier version I was able to type in the color I wanted BUT that didn't stop me 

So I went into ./Themes/default/Profile.template.php OR if you have a custom theme
./Themes/your custom theme/Profile.template.php

I looked for this

Code Select Expand

<option value="black"

Copied this

Code Select Expand

<option value="black" style="color: black;">', $txt['black'], '</option>

Pasted it anywhere within the color selections

                    

Code Select Expand

<option value="red" style="color: red;">', $txt['red'], '</option>
<option value="yellow" style="color: yellow;">', $txt['yellow'], '</option>
<option value="pink" style="color: pink;">', $txt['pink'], '</option>
<option value="green" style="color: green;">', $txt['green'], '</option>
<option value="orange" style="color: orange;">', $txt['orange'], '</option>
<option value="purple" style="color: purple;">', $txt['purple'], '</option>
<option value="blue" style="color: blue;">', $txt['blue'], '</option>
<option value="beige" style="color: beige;">', $txt['beige'], '</option>
<option value="brown" style="color: brown;">', $txt['brown'], '</option>
<option value="teal" style="color: teal;">', $txt['teal'], '</option>
                                         
<option value="navy" style="color: navy;">', $txt['navy'], '</option>
<option value="maroon" style="color: maroon;">', $txt['maroon'], '</option>
<option value="limegreen" style="color: limegreen;">', $txt['limegreen'], '</option>

Renamed to the color I wanted
                                        <option value="black" style="color: black;">', $txt['black'], '</option>
               <option value="red" style="color: red;">', $txt['red'], '</option>
               <option value="yellow" style="color: yellow;">', $txt['yellow'], '</option>
               <option value="pink" style="color: pink;">', $txt['pink'], '</option>
               <option value="green" style="color: green;">', $txt['green'], '</option>
               <option value="orange" style="color: orange;">', $txt['orange'], '</option>
               <option value="purple" style="color: purple;">', $txt['purple'], '</option>
               <option value="blue" style="color: blue;">', $txt['blue'], '</option>
               <option value="beige" style="color: beige;">', $txt['beige'], '</option>
               <option value="brown" style="color: brown;">', $txt['brown'], '</option>
               <option value="teal" style="color: teal;">', $txt['teal'], '</option>
               <option value="navy" style="color: navy;">', $txt['navy'], '</option>
            <option value="indianred" style="color: indianred;">', $txt['indianred'], '</option>
               <option value="maroon" style="color: maroon;">', $txt['maroon'], '</option>
               <option value="limegreen" style="color: limegreen;">', $txt['limegreen'], '</option>


THEN I went to ./Themes/default/languages/Profile.english.php OR if your custom them has it
./Themes/yourcustomtheme/languages/Profile.english.php

I found this

Code Select Expand

$txt['personal_color']

I copied this

Code Select Expand

$txt['black'] = 'Black';

Then Pasted it within the color list

Code Select Expand

$txt['red'] = 'Red';

$txt['yellow'] = 'Yellow';
$txt['pink'] = 'Pink';
$txt['green'] = 'Green';
$txt['orange'] = 'Orange';
$txt['purple'] = 'Purple';
$txt['blue'] = 'Blue';
$txt['beige'] = 'Beige';
$txt['brown'] = 'Brown';
$txt['teal'] = 'Teal';
$txt['navy'] = 'Navy';

Should look like this
$txt['red'] = 'Red';
$txt['indianred'] = 'indianRed';
$txt['yellow'] = 'Yellow';
$txt['pink'] = 'Pink';
$txt['green'] = 'Green';
$txt['orange'] = 'Orange';
$txt['purple'] = 'Purple';
$txt['blue'] = 'Blue';
$txt['beige'] = 'Beige';
$txt['brown'] = 'Brown';
$txt['teal'] = 'Teal';
$txt['navy'] = 'Navy';

And your Done!!


But I still would like this option to add your own color without going through this.. Is there a way to do this??? Thanks for your help!!

[HELLSXD]

I have a problem, I uninstalled the mod, then I tried to install it again and I got:

Duplicate entry 'board_post_color' for key 1

any help?

[linette97]

Can anyone help with the question above that I posted a month ago?
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=217033.msg2349408#msg2349408

Thanks!

EDIT: 1/19/2010 (Yet ANOTHER MONTH HAS PASSED )
I had to un-install the mod since I upgraded to 2.0 RC2. Many of my members are asking for this feature back.. Will this be updated to work with RC2? & if so why not have it like it was before with choosing your own color text to type in like I mentioned above

[XtcruleZ]

Will this work for SMF 2.0 RC2?

[XtcruleZ]

Anyone care to update this thread or maybe even the MOD itself to work with RC2 ?

[XtcruleZ]

Anyone? Bueller............?

[DilSe]

Will this work for SMF 2.0 RC2?

hello to all please any help for 2.0 RC2 thanks

[distante]

Looks like I'm not the only one who wants this excellent mod for RC2

[XtcruleZ]

You are not the only one, but it seems no one wants to do it for us.

[!RFAN]

and for smf 2 rc3 ??

[Shades.]

I too would like this mod to be updated for RC3!
