Thread Title Fonts

[JonUrban]

Is it possible to make the font size larger in a specific thread?

We have a sticky thread with section rules, and would like it to stick out from the rest.

THANKS

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Threadbit Templates -> threadbit

Add the red code:

			$thread[movedprefix]
			$thread[typeprefix]
			<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" [color=red]<if condition="$thread[threadid] == X">style="font-size: 12pt;"</if>[/color]><if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><strong>$thread[threadtitle]</strong><else />$thread[threadtitle]</if></a>

Where X is the threadid of the thread. Change the font-size attribute to whatever you want.

That should work.

Thanks Jake - It works like a CHARM!!!

Jake,

One other thing, what about if I want to make the thread title font a different color, say red, just for that thread ID?

Add the blue code to the previous code:

			$thread[movedprefix]
			$thread[typeprefix]
			<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" [color=red]<if condition="$thread[threadid] == X">style="font-size: 12pt; [color=blue]color: red;[/color]"</if>[/color]><if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><strong>$thread[threadtitle]</strong><else />$thread[threadtitle]</if></a>

Thanks again, Jake! AWESOME SUPPORT!!!!

Okay, how about if you wanted the font change to affect ALL sticky-threads. JUST sticky threads. But automatically (not using threadID, but the sticky-bit).

[Jake Bunce]

For the if condition, use this:

[color=red]<if condition="$show['sticky']">[/color]

Is it possible to check for a specific text in a threadtitle?

I asked the same question as the TS did overhere : How to change the colour of a specific sticked thread?
But I will be using this thread to continue my questions.

In the link above I wrote:

Hi,

I am running into the following situation at the moment:

I have a forum with some sticky threads in it. Recently I posted an advert in that forum. This ad is also a sticky posting:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Forum A

Sticky: [Advert] Buy your Marsupilami here.
Sticky: Fawlty Towers is the best comedy series ever made.
Sticky: Series 1 was a little better then Series 2
Sticky: What are you on about? I love 'Full House'!
---------------------------------------------------------------

The problem now is that it seems that not much visitors and members read this add, as I can see by looking at the 'view' column.

Is it possible to change the title-colour of just this particular sticked [Advert] -thread, instead of all the above sticked threads? I need the advert to stand out from the rest of the sticked threads.

Help is appreciated,

I am going to try the tip of Jake:

Jake is using the threadID: <if condition="$thread[threadid] == X">

I am not a programmer ... but I would like to know if it is somehow possible to -instead of using the threadID- check if the threadtitle contains the text '[Advert]' and change the style based on that?

That way all threads with the text '[Advert]' will have this style automatically, cause I don't have to bother with the threadID's etc.

String functions are not available to template conditionals, so there is no way to check partial strings. You would need to modify the files to get that to work.

Thanks for explaining, Jake.

UPDATE:

I was going to do this after the 3.5.3 upgrade, because I had to revert the template. However, I noticed that the code had changed a bit, so the above solution does not fit the new template.

Can Jake or someone else show where to put the added code in the new template?

THANKS
