Coloured title threads

[Guardian-Angel]

Hello

Further to the help I received Solved topic coloured threads I now have another question.

This helped me to change the colour of a title and to remain that colour on the main page as well as when using View New Posts.

I now have another Forum with a topic in that Forum that I would like to change the colour.

The code in that link won't work for the new Forum. I apologize I'm not that good with codes.

Can someone advise how I can change the colour of another Forum/Topic leaving the original Forum alone.

Well, did you give the new forum a new class?  It can not be forumcolor1.

Hi,

Do you want to change the color from the topic's title? Or the forum itself? Topics won't work using the previous code. If you want to colorize the topic titles, there's a function within the Admin CP that will do the trick. You may find it in General >> Messages, MP and E-mails >> Config >> Colorize topic titles (the pathway should be something like that, I don't remember all the names by heart though). This option should enable you to color the topic titles.

If you want to change the forum's color, you just need to do what they already taught you in the previous topic (also remembering SLGray's tip that you must create another CSS class if you want a different color).

Regards.

This is my original one which worked perfectly.

Code:

<span class="forumcolor1">Forum Title</span>

Code:

.forumcolor1 {
color: red; /* change the red to any color you want */
}

This is the second one, which messes up the first one. It shows colour when looking at the home page, when going into the topic the threads are coloured, but when choosing view new posts it shows up as per s/cap below. Where as before when choosing view new posts, they remained coloured all the time.

Code:

.forumcolor2 {
color: blue; /* change the red to any color you want */
}

First one


Second one

Where is the span class for the second code?

[Guardian-Angel]

Code:

<span class="forumcolor2">Behind The Scenes - Moderator Group</span>

See if clearing your browser's cache helps?

[Guardian-Angel]

It didn't help. I removed it all, and did it over again, still the same.

Hi,

Can you post the links where your problem is located at?

I will post test in each of those threads. When you get there, choose "view new posts"

Let me know when you want me to do that.

ETA: unless that page already takes you to my latest view new posts, you can see the two threads that are coloured in the sub description but not the title. If you go into those threads you will see they are coloured.

Hi,

For me, they aren't coloured at all:



Is this the right category? If not, just go ahead and post us these 'tests'.

Regards!

[Guardian-Angel]

Go look now if you can. You won't see the blue thread, it's hidden.

You will see the red one.

[Ace]

Hmm, so what you're trying to say is that this part here:



Should be red and it isn't, right?

[Guardian-Angel]

I'm saying when you "view new posts" the title is not red.

Your screen shot is not view new posts.

When looking at the main forum, this is what you see.



When you view new posts, it changes to this.

[Ace]

Oh, okay. Finally got it.

New posts are, regardless of the topic's original color, set to get the colors set by you on the Admin CP to be the default in the forum. There's a way to do this in JS, although it's a bit tricky because it involves getting numerous elements throughout the page and I can't personally help you in this matter. Maybe Ange Tuteur can assemble you this code.
