Colored Names

[rhondairv]

I would love to have a way in profiles to let members have the ability to choose to color their names. Maybe a drop down where i can put colors in or even just the basic colors already in would be fine.

I had this when i had the shop installed, but i took it off and now all names are so bland and default.

you can already do that with UBBC codes.


when filling out the display name, add [color=red]name[/color]


no javascript required!

oh for real?? cool! easy peazy!

edited: i just went to change but it doesn't give me an option.

I was wrong anyways. display names cannot be altered by UBBC.

I think there will be potential issues if something is embedded in the display name to colorize it. and the easiest way to do it would be to give them a drop down of choices they can have.. otherwise it will take up more space.

This will have to be investigated.

The drop down is fine. We miss colored names.


EDITED:

GUESS WHAT! FOUND A CODE FOR THIS!!

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

/*Profile Selectable Username Colour - By iAlex - Open Source*/

if(document.modifyForm){
    var iDisTr=document.modifyForm.name.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode;
    var iColourTr=iDisTr.cloneNode(true);
    iColourTr.childNodes[0].firstChild.innerHTML='Name Colour';
    iColourTr.childNodes[2].firstChild.innerHTML='If you wish to have your name displayed in a different colour, insert the hex code here.';
    iColourTr.childNodes[1].innerHTML='<input type="text" size="35" maxlength="6" id="iColourInp" />';
    iDisTr.parentNode.insertBefore(iColourTr, iDisTr.nextSibling);
    var iPersonal=document.modifyForm.personaltext;
    var iColourInp=document.getElementById('iColourInp');
    if(iPersonal.value.match(/\[C01:(.+?)\]/)){
          iColourInp.value=RegExp.$1;
          iPersonal.value=iPersonal.value.replace(/\[C01:(.+?)\]/g, '');
    }
    if(document.addEventListener){
          document.modifyForm.addEventListener('submit', iSaveColour, false);
    }
    else{
          document.modifyForm.attachEvent('onsubmit', iSaveColour);
    }
}
function iSaveColour(){
    var iColourInp=document.getElementById('iColourInp');
    if(iColourInp.value!=""){
          var iPersonal=document.modifyForm.personaltext;
          iPersonal.value=iPersonal.value+'[C01:'+iColourInp.value+']';
    }
}
if(location.href.match(/action=(display|viewprofile|(user)?recent|(calendar|pm)view|search2)/) || location.href.match(/index.cgi$/) && document.title.match(/Preview/) && document.postForm){
    var iTd=document.getElementsByTagName('td');
    var i=iTd.length;
    while(--i){
          if(iTd.item(i).width=="20%" && iTd.item(i).className.match(/windowbg(2)?/) && iTd.item(i).vAlign=="top" && iTd.item(i).innerHTML.match(/\[C01:(.+?)\]/)){
                iTd.item(i).getElementsByTagName('b').item(0).firstChild.style.color=RegExp.$1;
                iTd.item(i).innerHTML=iTd.item(i).innerHTML.replace(/\[C01:(.+?)\]/g, '');
          }
    }
}
