Ok I have done the search bit (for hours ) and can’t find it.

I would like to have the quote stuff in a different colour so that it stands out rather than just the lines top & bottom.

Don’t want CSS nor boxes just a different colour.

Appreciate your assistance.

Neil.

Find this line in inc_func_common.asp (467):


fString = doCode(fString, "[ quote ]", "[ /quote ]", "<blockquote id=""quote""><font size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """


and in the <font tag, before the size property, add your color...

Hi Da_Stimulator (or anyone else)

I might have not explained myself correctly. I would like to have a different background color in the quotes thingie as above. Font color can remain the same, its just a different background color I was after.

And as a complete dumbie if some-one could tell me were to insert the code or changes that would be great..

Thanks,

Neil

You wouldn't be able to do it by just adding a color. This would probably be a separate MOD. In order to have a separate background for the quote, it would need to be in its own enclosed table.

Looks like you'll have to use CSS unless you want to convert it so that it doesn't use CSS. But this should at least pave the way a bit for you.

Find this line in inc_func_common.asp
fString = doCode(fString, "[quote]", "[/quote]", "<blockquote id=""quote"">

add the inline style property:
fString = doCode(fString, "[quote]", "[/quote]", "<blockquote id=""quote"" style=""background-color:#RRGGBB"">


RRGGBB equals the hex value of the color you wish to use.

Hey,

Thanks guys I think I have now completed all the mods etc. I ended up using the Background mod and it seems OK to me.

So we now have 3.4.05 with all mods working just fine; no problem.

I do really appreciate your help and assistance while I have been setting up our new site.

Donation on its way.

All the best

Neil
