[Plugin] Multicolored Categories

[♥ ℒʊ√ ♥]

Brian Almost there. The categories and boards were corrected and are fine now.   (I still would never have seen that extra ending space in General)

However, the side bars aren't working.

And I added font color, but it's not working either ~  .dtt > .title-bar { background-color: #20B2AA; font-color: #FFD700; }

You need to give IDs to each of your sidebar containers, then replace the #sidebar-id portion of the CSS I provided with the ID you specified, preceded by a # symbol.

The text in the title bar is contained in an <h2> element that you need to address with a different selector. Also, font-color is invalid CSS.

.dtt > .title-bar h2 { color: #FFD700; }

Thank you.

Brian I don't know if you, or Wormopolis, are the one to ask.

In his weather plugin ~ the sidebar container needs to be ID as "weather". However, the quotes don't work in CSS style sheet. It shows a syntax error.

So ok, no problem, I can remove the quotes, right? But then the weather plug in date and weather condition is no longer centered ~ and it still doesn't color the background. 

I've left it without the quotes so you can check it out.

In your CSS, you have a declaration for #side-weather, so change the ID of your container (and only your container, not the contents inside of it) to side-weather.

Worked ~ and the type stayed centered.  Thank you.

Hey Brian, sorry for the newbie question, but how do I make this plug-in work for only one theme?

Plugins > Manage

Clicking on the Edit button next to the plugin will allow you to choose which themes it's shown on.

Awe, thanks.

Updated to 1.4.0!

Category matches should be a lot more precise now.


And for all the people who kept bugging me to add it: You can now select which themes you want your colors applied to.

[Mr. Tom]

On my forum (themeparkfunv2.boards.net) it's working completely fine, apart from on the category Theme Park Debate. It's showing the colour I want on the main homepage, but when I go into any board in that category, it goes back to the default theme colour. Weirdly, the other categories are fine.

Please help ASAP!

[Mr. Tom]

I just tried removing and re-installing this plugin, and it's doing exactly the same thing, on exactly the same category.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Mr. Tom, Brian will respond when he's online =)

[Mr. Tom]

Ok.

[Brian]

Mr. Tom, your category's name must be the same as its display name in Structure > Categories & Boards for the plugin to work its magic.

I'll add this information to the first post of this thread.
