[News block] Other colors on topic title depending on forum

Post by wood72 »

Your Portal Version: 1.0.0RC3
Your phpBB Type: Standard phpBB3
MODs installed: Yes

Boardlink: http://www.exalted-aoc.com/forums

What have you done before the problem was there?
I have searched this forum for answers.

What have you already tryed to solve the problem?
Nothing apart from searhing on how'to :)

Description and Message
Hi,

I have gotten your excellent portal up and running properly, but am missing a very useful feature I had on my old forums (phpbb2).

It is regarding the news block and how I can make certain topic titles stand out more than others. As an example I would like to have the posts done on the officers forums in a completely different colour so that they are not missed by the officers. I would also like to have the applications stand out more. This is more visible at my old forums: http://exalted-aoc.com/phpbb2/portal.php

So question is simple; is this doable? To have different colours on topic titles in the news block depending on the forum id?


To get some clever brains around here some ideas; Here is how the genius that helped me on the old portal did it (5'th response I think) : http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 7&t=817355

Shameless bump on this one as it really makes the portal a better place for us :)

This is the way it was done on phpbb2:
OPEN

portal.php

FIND

Code: Select all

       $template->assign_block_vars('recent_topic_row', array(
BEFORE ADD

Code: Select all

    $recent_topic_title_row = $recent_topic_row[$i]['topic_title'];
    if ( $recent_topic_row[$i]['forum_id'] == '134')
    {
      $recent_topic_title_row = '<span style="color: red">' . $recent_topic_title_row . '</span>';
    }
    elseif ( $recent_topic_row[$i]['forum_id'] == '14' )
    {
      $recent_topic_title_row = '<span style="color: pink">' . $recent_topic_title_row . '</span>';
    }
FIND

Code: Select all

    'L_TITLE' => $recent_topic_row[$i]['topic_title'],
REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

    'L_TITLE' => $recent_topic_title_row,
to use it change the 134 and 14 to the forum ids you want and the color: red and color: pink to whatever color you want.
So I assume it's the /forums/portal/block/news.php that needs this incorporated, but I just don't know how to :)

Somebody clever, please help! :D

Sorry for bringing up this topic again.

Can anyone help, please? I would also very much like this feature for my forum.

In the news block on the portal to have another text color for topicnames from
specific forums (one or more).

Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english.

Have a nice day everybody

Kind regards
