-   -   Adding Colors to text with UBB Code (for those who want color in their sigs) (http://www.ironworksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68683)

Sazerac 06-06-2001 10:40 AM

For those wanting to add color to their signatures, you can use the following UBB codes.

You can add color to text by enclosing it in [red][/red], [blu][/blu], [yel][/yel], [grn][/grn], [blk][/blk], or [wht][/wht]. The results will be red, blue, yellow, green, black or white, respectively.


[red]Red [/red]
[blu]Blue [/blu]
[yel]Yellow [/yel]
[grn]Green [/grn]
[blk]Black [/blk]
[wht]White [/wht]

These colors override those set for a given board, but not the color set for links in your browser. (i.e., you CANNOT color links this way).

N-Joy!

Okay, let me give it a whirl...found something new:

Red Text
Blue Text

Test...

http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz.gif

Nope...

Well, I'm finding all these sites with information on how to use UBB color, but none of them work here...maybe Ziroc doesn't have those tags enabled?

hmmm...

back to the drawing board.

Oh, there's UBB code for it, Ertai. It's just not working on OUR FORUM!! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/mad111.gif

*sigh*

still searching for a solution...

http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz.gif



Sazerac 06-06-2001 03:24 PM

Okay, here's the scoop...

from everything I'm reading, these particular codes are customizable, meaning that they probably have to be initialized by the webmaster. They do not automatically work for all UBB applications.

Oh Ziroooooooccccccc.... http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/338.gif Pretty please? (if it's possible).

Sazerac 06-07-2001 02:49 PM

Our forum doesn't have them enabled, Moridin. Apparently, the codes aren't universal, like HTML...they have to be "turned on" by each particular forum.

Wah 06-07-2001 03:17 PM

On a little wondering.......shouldn't we disable those useless functions like "disable smilies" and enable more appropiate functions like "preview" instead?

If UBB Boards (notorious as they arehttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif), are the "high quality" boards that they're meant to be. (lacking a preview is NOT a good idea AFAIK)

Maybe some functions come as board standards and you have to "buy" additional upgrades like preview (bit stupid I know!).

Just a thought.http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

slackerboy 06-07-2001 03:25 PM

ok, according to some info i read in another location. the ubb color codes can only be used by doing a mod of the ubb software. it is a user made modification for the boards. and i dont think ziroc has that mod.

Sazerac 06-07-2001 04:03 PM

You can use the < font color="#xxxxxx"> codes for the color (HTML)...see Cloudy's post on that down the page a bit.

But you can't use them in the signature file. That's why we're trying to get it turned on for UBB, which CAN be used in the sig file.

Damn, let us know when you figur it out.

DawnChaser 07-04-2001 09:37 AM

the tag has to start with the "font" keyword, as in:

< font Color=Red >This is red text< /font > "without the spaces I added"
<font Color=Red>This is red text</font>

< font face="comic sans ms" Size=8>This is "COMIC SANS MS", Size 8< /font > "without the spaces I added"
<font face="comic sans ms" Size=8>This is "COMIC SANS MS", Size 8</font>

<Table><TR><TD Style = Filter:glow(Color=Black, strength=3)><Font Size = 3 Color =White face="comic sans ms" >"HTML training!"</Font></TD></table><marquee direction=right behavior=alternate>http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/elf.gif</marquee>
