Default Post Template

I can't remember if I asked before, but is there a way to set up a default post template in the IC boards that everyone would use? I kind of want to make it all blend in together with the skin.

Hey • Ambrose •

Is this a template which people would use when making the post, or how posts are actually displayed?

[• Ambrose •]

How posts are displayed. They wouldn't have to use style tags since the template would be there. They would just need to fill it in. I do need to add a couple of fields for roleplaying purposes (such as tags and time entries.)

I'm just adding in now that I found where to edit it, in Post List.

<div class="message">$[post.message]</div>

I just need to make sure it only affects the IC boards. Is there a way to do so?

What kind of changes are you trying to apply to your posts?

[• Ambrose •]

If you don't mind, I will show you the template I'd like to make default for everyone to use.

It would appear like that. Now I couldn't figure out how to make the hovers right over the dialogue, so I had to put it in an extra box that's hidden, and appears whenever someone needs it.

I only want it in the IC boards (under the COURIRNU category.) All the other boards, so far, are OOC.

I'm not able to give you the exact template at this time. You may need to seek additional help in the Coding Help board. For now, you can go ahead and apply this code to the header of the category that houses your IC boards. The header can be found in your admin panel > structure > headers and footers > a category of your choice.

<style>
   .posts .post .message {
margin: auto;
background-color: #eaeaea;
       width: 400px;
       height: 400px;
       line-height: 20px;
       overflow: auto;
       font-family: Rajdhani;
       font-size: 12px;
       padding: 10px;
       text-align: justify;
   }
</style>

Okay. I tested it and saw that it worked. It did put my own template into another box, so I will ask Coding Help for some help! Thanks!
