Just a thought here and that is with this part of the code:

if (!settings.msg_ca_size || settings.msg_ca_size <= 0) { // if the text size is undefined or is less than or equal to 0, set it to 18 (px).
caSize = 18;
}
else {
caSize = settings.msg_ca_size; // otherwise, set the text size to the setting in the plugin UI.

so that it will inherit the default forum text size?

Just to note, I added the letter u in the word plgin.

I had just picked 18px if that setting was undefined or if someone entered a 0 or negative number (not sure why, but there you go). You can set that to whatever you want, as that only gets enforced if there's nothing, a 0, or a negative number in the UI settings. The idea behind this plugin, is to be basically "in your face" - saying "hey! you've got a message!" type of thing. Hence, the reasoning behind a larger font size for default if nothing entered.

It was not intended to "blend in" with the rest of the forum - which is why it doesn't look for forum default colors or font-size. They can be manually put in the UI, but that would probably mean multiple copies would have to be run - each running only on selected theme(s).

Yeah, I thought I had caught all of my typos. Better a typo in the comment rather than the code though.

Nothing like a good cup of coffee and doing the same here. Did not do any template mod's on that theme and figured because of all the mod's I did to it over the years, I felt it best to just remove it and install a new theme.

When you have time, can you take a look at the post above yours and see if that can be done.

We went to a new page, aRMY83 - look above your post.

Understood and allow myself to say "thank you" for a great plugin!

Hello Lynx I found this fantastic plugin, and it's exactly what I need, however I was wondering if it was still editable. It does not show up under the "Build" section of my plugins. The default settings are nice, but I would really like to customize it; whether through editing or CSS. Is this possible? Thanks for your time.

stygianink,

I could have sworn that I had submitted it in editable format. However, according to a PB Admin, I'll have to resubmit as editable to make the library entry editable. Not sure how long it'll take to get approved.

Just out of curiosity, though, what type(s) of customization(s) were you looking to do?

[stygianink]

Lynx I am sure what I would like to do can be done with CSS by targeting the correct elements, but I would like to change some of the text as well. That is why I had been wondering if it was still editable. The problem may be the forum that I am using it on, as I am an admin, but not the original admin who created the forum. Do you happen to know if that would be the case? Either way it is a fantastic plugin and I am most grateful for your quick response. If it is too much of a hassle to change or resubmit, it's honestly not that big of a deal (so don't worry about it on my part), it still works wonderfully. My only suggestion or feedback would be making it globally visible, as at the moment it only displays on the main forum page. (However I am unsure as to if that was intended or not, or whether that can be changed.) Again, thank you so much for your time.

Hi!

It was brought to my attention (an oversight on my part) that the library version is 1.0.0. I do have, however, a version 1.0.1 that should be editable. The plugin itself is very basic, so there's no element to target with CSS (which is why the colors were added in as options).

As it may be a few days before I can get around to re-submitting, go to this post ( support.proboards.com/post/6875371 ) and there's a download link for version 1.0.1. I would recommend deleting version 1.0.0 from your plugin manage page first. That download link should give you an editable copy. I believe it's heavily commented so you can see what does what.

Let me know if that version isn't editable or if you run into any problems.

Hello Lynx

Just installed it and yes it is editable:

The title bar text color is not changing color for me, regardless of what I put in the field for it.

[Former Member]

Is the author for this plugin still around? I still have the issue I posted above.

[Lynx]

Sorry for not catching your original post on this issue, @deathkatt2 - I had not received a notification for it.

I'm looking into the issue now, but it seems to have stopped working on my test forum as well. I'll update here when I can get a fix for this.


EDIT: In the interim, you may want to change the background color of the title bar so the white text stands out more. My apologies for the inconvenience.

[Lynx]

@deathkatt2,

With some help, the problem has been found and I've submitted an update to the plugin library. The new version number will be 1.0.1 if/when it's approved.


EDIT: The plugin has been approved. Please download the latest version and let me know if you still have an issue with it.

[Former Member]

Lynx,

It seems to be working correctly now. Thank you.

[Former Member]

This would be ok plugin if I could change message(non english forum) and link color.
