Username colour?

amphios

Is it possible to change the username colour? I know if you go into the users in the dashboard and edit a user and say add < b ></ b> tags, it changes it bold on some things but most it actually adds the tags. So it looks like < b >Amphios</ b>. I'd like to be able to change colours without it showing the tags. Is it possible?

I'm not sure it could be done on an individual/group basis.

AfaIk the username takes its colour(s) from the hyperlink colour associated with the Datalist.

You can change the colour using:

.DataList .Author a{color:#FF0000;}

in a custom css file.

Just one user or all of them?

amphios

Just a specific user, or a usergroup.

amphios

Thanks, just wondered if it was possible.

RedTwentyFour

it can be done individual too, if you put them in groups, you can do it like this:

.role-administrator .Comment .Meta .Author a { color: #FFC125 !important; }
.role-moderator .Comment .Meta .Author a { color: #0ecae9 !important; }
.role-member .Comment .Meta .Author a { color: #ffffff !important; }
.role-guest .Comment .Meta .Author a { color: #ffffff !important; }
.role-banned .Comment .Meta .Author a { color: #444444 !important; text-decoration: line-through !important; }

I'll try this out! So I just put this in my custom.css ?

amphios

Thanks that worked like a charm, any way to make it so it's not just IN discussions, but everywhere?

amphios - I think you'd need to use Firebug or something similar to check what actually calls the user names on different pages, and then try to adapt the code for them.

amphios

What about if I'm using Chrome?

RedTwentyFour

element inspector to the rescue. also, firebug is also avalible for chrome.

Do I enter these in the custom.css files in whatever theme I'm using or would i just have to make my own custom.css file and enter them in?

whu606

@x4135

Yes, where you have a custom theme enabled, use that custom.css file to make changes.

ddumont

You don't need firebug in chrome... ctrl+shift+j

@whu606

hi it's not work for me too :(, n i don't use minify

whu606

Safeman - what have you done to try to make it work?

If you are using a custom theme, and you set a valid css rule in the custom.css file, it really should show in your pages.

x4135

@ whu606 I enabled "Minify" and it started to work. But how would I make it pop up on my profile and everything else then just on threads?

Cache issue me finks. Delete .ini files ( info on vanilla how to do this )

whu606

@x4135 - I'm not sure what you are asking.

If you want a css rule to affect one type of page only in Vanilla, append .Pagename before the css rule.

For example,

.Profile, .DataList .Author a{color:#FF0000;}

Don't work...

?

peregrine

it DOES work if you put the classes in the page.

you could use roletitle plugin if you don't want to do it yourself

I don't want to represent roles! Can It be done without roletitle?

Open your own topic, explain in as much detail as you can what you want exactly and then let's see if you can make it work.
what you did now was to hijack an old topic and that is frowned upon.
So, own topic, good explanation of what you need and let's see if you can accomplish what you want.

A new topic: yes! But: Not for a same question!
Continuing here is better because this is not a completely solved topic! It will prevent to repeat above offers like this:

If I open a new one, it will start with:

Then @peregrine will say: "you could use roletitle plugin if you don't want to do it yourself"
And I say again: "I don't want to represent roles! Can It be done without roletitle?"

peregrine

Start a new topic and explain exactly what you want to display and what you want to do and display a link to an image and circle the item you want to color.

and yes the original question was answered.
