Automiatc Specific User Text Colouring

[mastram]

The mod is simple, it allows you to set a specific colour for a usergroup you set so when a member of that usergroup post it is automaticly posted as the colour you've set. however the colour can be changed if the user seletes a different colour from the text colours

Please note you will have to edit the code to any layout(s) you have and want it to show on.

First login to your admincp --> Style Manager --> Edit Templates

In your postbit find

<!-- message --> 
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div> 
<!-- / message -->

replace with

<!-- message -->              
<if condition="(in_array($post['usergroupid'],  array('6', '#', '#', '#')))"> 
    <div class="VIP_$post[usergroupid]" id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div> 
<else /> 
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div> 
</if> 

<!-- / message -->

where the # are you put the user groups id for example if i wanted to set my admin, id put

<if condition="(in_array($post['usergroupid'],  array('6')))">

after you are happy with this click save.

If your using legacy, make sure you edit postbit_legacy instead of or aswell as postbit.

once this is done go to your Main CSS and add in "Additional CSS Definitions" the following

 .VIP_# { color:#000000 }
.VIP_# { color:#ffffff }

# replace with the group id and click Save.

Remember that if you have more then one forum skin you will have to edit the code thoughout them inorder for it to show.

this is for 3.7.3 updated template

Find this

<!-- message -->
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
			$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_start]
			$post[message]
		</div>
		<!-- / message -->

Replace with this:

<!-- message -->              
<if condition="(in_array($post['usergroupid'],  array('6', '#', '#', '#')))"> 
    <div class="VIP_$post[usergroupid]" id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div> 
<else /> 
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_start]
$post[message]</div> 
</if> 

<!-- / message -->
