Excellent!

Quick tip: <font> tag is depreciated, use <span style="color:xxxxxx;">

Edit: Also, instead of <strong><font>, you would use: <span style="font-weight:bold; color:xxxxx">

That gives a rather different result, I know what I used is depreciated, but I used it to give me the specific result I was going for.

What kind of result does it give you?
If it displays as a block-level element instead of of in-line (due to the CSS applied do that location), then simply use: display: in-line; within the style attribute.

[King Rhyono]

I used strong because in the event the person chooses not to use a rank color, or doesn't qualify, their rank is black, instead of the dull color of a profile field value.

I use this in SniperBlue:

Code: Select all

<td class="postdetails" align="center"><b class="genmed"<!-- IF postrow.POST_AUTHOR_COLOUR --> style="color: {postrow.POST_AUTHOR_COLOUR}"<!-- ENDIF -->>{postrow.RANK_TITLE}</b></td>

Maybe I should alter my codes a little also.

Maybe I should alter my codes a little also.

Instead of <b> you can use <strong>[/b] but instead of [c]<strong><span> or <strong><font> combination, it?s best to use <span style="font-weight:bold;"> font-weight:bold will achieve the same long as <strong> or <b>. In this case, you might use all three elements in the style attribute: <span style="font-weight:bold; display:in-line;<!-- IF colour token --> color: {colour token};<!-- ENDIF -->">. This will allow the "bold look", but if you want to have a black look, you can set <!-- ELSE --> for the if colour token and set color:black;
If it appears to be a "block" or wraps unexpectedly, this is because of an inherited style, display:in-line will solve that.

Cool! Got it....

Code: Select all

<td class="postdetails" align="center"><span class="genmed" style="font-weight:bold; display:in-line;<!-- IF postrow.POST_AUTHOR_COLOUR --> color: {postrow.POST_AUTHOR_COLOUR};<!-- ENDIF -->">{postrow.RANK_TITLE}</b></td>

I'll have to look at this format in other places also.

thanks for this cool mod.

However is it possible to make it so that only custom ranks can be added in acp? (nothing to do with posts)

I don't quite know what you mean.
