Custom Fonts in Posts

I am looking for any way to arrange that a member can set a custom font face, color and size in their control panel that will be their default font for typing in posts.

Anyone?

custom coding? That would be the only way I could think of to do this.
I actually had wanted to do the same thing once. Looked at vB.org and asked around. That's the answer I got. It would have to be a hack or custom coding. I don't think anyone has attempted either yet. At least, not the last time I looked around at .org.

Hmmm.. Should we code that? I saw some people wanted for that, too.

I did find a product on vbulletin.org and just finished applying it and it is working great. It actually applies to change to even a user's past posts

The only 2 problems I see with it right now are:

1. No setting for Bold

2. It does not remember the default setting a person uses. So if a person makes a change to their fotn settings they remain in place unless they go back to control panel - edit options it goes back to the default of Ariel - 2 - black. So if a user needs to make a change in the edit options setting for something else they will also have to reset their font settings.

The product is at

Unfortunately, that hack was written for 3.5.0, RC2. So you will, indeed, run into issues of one kind or another, sooner or later.


Whal - you have something in mind?

What is RC2 ?

I am using V 3.6.5 and I made sure people using that version said it was working fine except for the defautl setting once you go back to CP

RC is "release candidate". Kind of a test version before they release the "stable" version.
Sorry, I just assume that most people are using 3.6

Yep, why not code something like that? But I don't promise to do because I am so silly nowadays. :wave:

Another thing I would "tweek" form the original hack is that when typing a post it does not show your font color size and face as per your default seting. It only appears after you submit the post.

haha - well it ain't gonna be me, I am not a coder.

theres a hack like this for 3.6, i have it on my board, they can set their font and color in the usercp.

ill find it, being im on a proxy now on my site i cant get to the ACP, but i will later :)

Thanks Chase! I'd love to have this for a clients' forum :)
