This is an older MOD, but the topic containing the info about it has been archived and is currently not available so I am posting it again.

quote:

If you are using v3.1 SR4 (actually it should work with just about any version), download this file:

http://www11.ewebcity.com/dssdbs/files/colortemplates.zip

Now unzip the file and upload the colortemplates.asp and admin_config_colors.asp to your forum directory.

There will already be an admin_config_colors.asp file so just overwrite it.

Now when you goto Admin Options --> Font/Table Color Code Configuration

you will have a new option at the top for color templates. the one labeled Default is the Default colors that the forum started with. Just click on Use Template and your colors will be back to the default colors.

Yes, anyone can use it.

To add other templates, just take a look at colortemplates.asp, you'll see how the existing templates are done, just use them as an example.

I would just like to add that the admin_config_colors replacement that pweighill wrote is pretty usefull also.
It's a popup color picker. Find it here.

I have updated pweighill's file to include the templates. You can download it here.

What would be the easiest (or best) way to let the individual user select the color template of his or her choice? I know Alan implemented this on his site, but I believe that was just the table cell background and overall background color of the main page.

I'd like to let the users customize the site colors, if possible.

I couldn't think of a gracefully way to do what you're saying otherwise i woulda attempted something like that. It'll be neat if there's this feature to let the users set their own templates for the forums.

Couldn't we just add all the color configuration fields to the members table then on the first page have a query pull those values and set the values in a cookie which is requested on all the pages? or would that slow the forum down too much?

Keyword here is "graceful", although that idea would probably work but you wouldn't want to bloat the forum_members table any more than it already is with all the extra forum layout variables and duch.

OK, this is a kind of comment plus a question all in one.

Firstly if you are using the standard 3.1sr4 package then you will recieve errors with the pop-up color config. Due to the following entry in the admin_config_colors.asp

strSql = strSql & " C_STRPAGEBGIMAGE = '" & Request.Form("strPageBGImage") & "', "

on line 63.

I have added this field to the CONIG table - and hurrah!! I don't get anymore error messages.

Now the question bit

I included the following in the <BODY> section of inc_top.asp

background="<%= strPageBGImage %>"

and I get nothing - Now I'm confused as to what if anything I am missing - If I hardcode an image it's fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I checked that.

There is only one instance of BGcolor in the inc_top.asp, in addition it does work with the hardcoded image (ie background="test.jpg").

I'm still none the wiser

Thanks for the reply tho' ...

Being on the slow side ...

Could someone draft up a _setup.asp for this so I can see how you would script the addition of the DB Fieldname?

Thanks a bundle.

it sounds like you do not have a standard version of the forums, the STRPAGEBGIMAGE field is not a standard forum field.

This is great Richard, thank you. Also the easiest MOD so far LOL.

Too bad it doesn't have a way to edit the templates or create new ones....unless I'm missing something (probably)
