Post subject: Posting Font/size/colour Help
Hi All

I wonder if it is possible to make my Font/size/colour the same each time I post without having to set it each time?

I did try the search function on the site but wasn't getting anywhere.

Thanks for any help that can be offered

Well if you want the same style on anyone's post you'ld need to change it in your stylesheet Dragon

Thanks for the reply Joshua

Couple of questions :

1. Would the change everyone's font/size and colour? I'm really looking to just change mine

2. I have looked at style_m_blue.css but don't have a clue where I'm changing text, any chance you could point me in the right direction please

Thanks again for your help

Stylesheet

Well if it would be only for you, you might as well forget the stylesheet (I think I would start exploring style_m_blue_colors.css if this was what you wanted).

How about creating one custom bbcode (hidden or visible in the editor) in acp for all changes you need ..this way you would only need one bbcode.

EDIT: if hidden you type the bbcode tag, if visible everyone will see the button and can use it

Thanks Joshua

Is the adding of BBcode on icy v2? or am i able to do it on 1.3.0.53b?

Sorry to be a pain in the butt

Unfortunately this is version 2

You could try using wordcensors as a workaround maybe and replace using bbcodes


Joshua203 [ Sat 01 Sep, 2012 00:07 ]
Post subject: Re: Posting Font/size/colour Help
example:

Code: [Hide] [Select]
censor= [mytext] replacement= [u][b][i]

and
Code: [Hide] [Select]
censor= [/mytext] replacement= [/i][/b][/u]


Now when you type [mytext] testing [/mytext]

you get testing

Thanks again for your reply Joshua

I think if I did that it would again change everyone's text looks like im going to have to try to upgrade to icy2

Again though thanks for your help

Post subject: Re: Posting Font/size/colour Help
It would only be possible to use by people that know [mytext] exists

Upgrading is a good idea anyway

You're welcome ...maybe someone else has more ideas

Post subject: Re: Posting Font/size/colour Help
try using the bbcodes correctly?

if you open with a-b-c you close with c-b-a

EDIT: global switch ....hmmm good question ..does it exist?

Let's wait for an expert, for me it worked instantly on your version.

Don't worry about a little mistake.. you wouldn't believe how many I make hahaha

Post subject: Re: Posting Font/size/colour Help
Thanks ever so much for your help thought Joshua, you are an expert it's me that's the problem

I went to my profile and turned off always allow swear words and its worked a button would have been great but at least this is easier for me

Told you that you was an expert Thanks Joshua

Far from an expert, especially if it comes to icy phoenix, I just don't give up easy

I'm glad you found the problem all by yourself, good job Dragon!

Your Welcome, greetings,
...Joshua203

PS ... you can make the tags as short as you like as long as it's unique.

Post subject: Re: Posting Font/size/colour Help
Thanks yes I found that I made them [t] [/t] but there is a problem with the swear words and if people have it set to allow them then they see tags I found a section about it but messed it up as I had to play with the database somehow I got the site back but I think its unstable now my head is spinning now as I want to upgrade to icy2 but keep all the posts that users have made.

Wish me luck

<<<< my head is always spinning

I don't know what you messed up, so I can only say "do you have a back up proir to your DB edits?".

Anyway at your request.... GOODLUCK

Post subject: Re: Posting Font/size/colour Help
Joshua not sure if I should be posting here or not but I wonder if you could help me with my original question now I have Icy2?

I did try to set it up using custom BBCodes but got a content error To refresh I would like to set it up so i have a default Font/Colour and size like
Code: [Hide] [Select]
[font=Comic Sans MS][size=14][color=#ce0202]Test[/color][/size][/font]


Any pointers or help would be great


Joshua203 [ Mon 03 Sep, 2012 13:44 ]
Post subject: Re: Posting Font/size/colour Help
Pointers are really already written in your acp but ooohwell...

bbcode:
Code: [Hide] [Select]
[mytext]{SIMPLETEXT}[/mytext]


replacement code:
Code: [Hide] [Select]
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 14; color: #ce0202;">{SIMPLETEXT}</span>

As a side note... just remember to add single quotes when specifying a "multiword" font in CSS or style definition... also it's a good practice to add several choices, because some fonts are not present on all systems.

In CSS
Code: [Hide] [Select]
html { font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 100%; }


In HTML
Code: [Hide] [Select]
<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14; color: #ce0202;">{SIMPLETEXT}</span>

Thanks for the tip

Another side note on the side note... Symbol should be rendered only on IE (don't know if it works even on 10). Comic Sans is only for windows systems...
