Color of Links

[Chris]

The shoutbox is not yet setup to process BBCode coloring but this is CSS coloring so if you want shoutbox links to be included you would edit what I posted and add an additional selector so shoutbox doesn't feel left out


<style>.post .message a[rel="nofollow"], .shoutbox .message a[rel="nofollow"] {color:red;}</style>

Works like a charm Elton but can't seem to get the shoutbox one to work.

blueshead... where did you place the shoutbox code?

Just replace the old code with the new one..

<style>.post .message a[rel="nofollow"], .shoutbox .message a[rel="nofollow"] {color:red;}</style>

Got it! Thanks for that info blueshead and I should have seen that in the first place:

<style>.post .message a[rel="nofollow"], .shoutbox .message a[rel="nofollow"] {color:red;}</style>

how about all links on the forum, last posted thread on the main page, any link in a post, anything in the infocenter, any link posted in an html table in headers/footers

I believe it can be done, I'm waiting for a response in this thread .. but, I wouldn't put it past Eton to come up with something. Having the ability to change the color link in v4.5 was an essential part for us ... to separate it from the rest of the links about the forum. I'm not a coder, but am puzzled as to why this is so hard to achieve.  That said, what do I know. lol

I tried putting Eton's code in the footer but it doesn't seem to work... maybe it's the browser? Does anyone else have this problem?

Hello Thais...

It goes in the Global Header, not the footer.

Ah sorry, typo. I meant header...

Just a thought and that being, maybe something got out of wack. Here is what I have in the global header:

<style>.post .message a[rel="nofollow"], .shoutbox .message a[rel="nofollow"] {color:red;}</style>

and it works just fine.

[Thaïs]

OK I changed the color and it's working now! Weird

[aRMY83]

Glad you got it sorted out.

EDIT: it may be that you used a hex number for the color. I tried this in the beginning and it would not work. It only uses named colors and nothing else.

Chris This works great, but what if I want to have the links bold? Also, you can make it so it will take a hex code instead of red, blue, green for example.
