Highlight to read text

[sydney078]

Is anyone working on this yet?  Something that would allow to post something and not have to be seen by anyone who doesnt want to know- ie spoilers??

make the text the same color as the bg and when someone wants to read it they have to highlight it.

[sydney078]

Sure, but not everyone is smart enough to remember the color code all the time- would be much easier if a MOD/HACK was made to do this

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

so you pust a YaBBC button to set the font the same colour as the background instead of just using the colour drop down menu?  

if your background colour is not on the dropdown you can always add it...

not all of us are php or html experts- That is why we come here for help on our board- No need to roll eyes about it

sorry, I diddnt mean to sound like that

The problem with this mod is that the colours are alternated between 2 colours so you'd have to add 2 and remember which one its on/

[sydney078]

Ok- I found where I would need to add it in the post.php

Here is the last color listed
<option value="LimeGreen">$txt[275]</option>

Now say my bgcolor is #0040c0

How could I add that color to the list?

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

like this:
<option value="#0040c0">Colour Name</option>

Just add it underneath (or where ever you would like it on the list)

I think that should work, let me check.

Test

[Edit: Yeah, thats it, you could just put your text in the message body by doing this:

Code Select Expand

[color=#0040c0]your text[/color]

[sydney078]

No- I mean, how can I add that to the drop down meanu- That color choice- None of the members will remember that color code and I dont understand how the script in the php is written since it has $txt

would all I need to do is put

<option value="#0040c0">$txt[276]</option>

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

Yes, but not with $txt[276] because that is got from the alaguage file and that will be taken, if its just for your site, just type the colour name in post.php because your site is only in 1 language, right?

[sydney078]

oh.. I see - thank you for your help and the very fast replies

[groundup]

if you have alternating colors than you can just make a table with a standard color.
