Specify font changes within News Fader text lines

[GooRoo]

Forum URL: gooroosgruntz.proboards.com

I have tried HTML format {font color=...} and UBBC {color=...} but both just show up as strings around the text I intended to change.

One line, for instance, should read "SPAMmers definitely not welcome" (we have been getting someone continually creating accounts and posting about Kitchen remodeling) ... but what is intended to modify the font (size and) color just appears before and after the text to be changed.  Note that I do not want to change every bit of text in the News Fader, but just selected text in various lines that are displayed.

Hi gooroo

I am at your newsfader, and i can't see an issue myself. Could you expand on what the problem is, or direct me to the exact part which is an issue.

Or perhaps you have removed what you added and wasn't working. If so, could you temporarily put it back in so i can see.

GooRoo, I don't believe it's possible to use formatting with this news fader. There is, however, a plugin that will allow html formatting. Go search in the plugin library for "V4 News Fader" and see if that might work.

[Craig]

You can format. I have links and bold in mine, and i see gooroo has above. It is limited so not all ubbc will work there. I assumed the font color [but have since tried it] would as it doesn't affect the newsfader like an image would. Perhaps they would consider allowing font colors.

Good to know Craig. I had tried, but all the coding was visible, so I figured you couldn't do it. I know you can with that plugin, though.

Aye. I can see the sense in not allowing all the BBCode. It is not really intended for images, and tables etc, but for font color, i feel, it should be able to be changed, so hopefully it will.

The news feed only parses light BBCode. The tags permitted in light BBCode are:

[b]
[i]
[u]
[s]
[a]
[sup]
[sub]

The V4 News Fader plugin allows HTML, but it also turns the news feed into the news fader which is a whole container above your forum's content.

At least now I know that UBBC is the way to go, and not HTML.  Still, the lack of any font control is a downer.  I will have to look seriously at the V4 News Fader plug-in.

GooRoo, use the V4 plugin and you can do a lot more with it. I have the V4 plugin installed on my board and love it.
