Hi there.
Is there any chance to assign an individuall css to the comments from members of a certain group?

Would be great, i.e. to highlight posts by admins or mods.

cheers,
stahl.

    I'm pretty sure that the CommentNotice (Role tagline) class could be utilized in such a way.

    One would define the color (e.g. #f7f7f7) of a role's comment background instead of it's description (e.g. Administrator). But that would require some theme-tweaking.

    Just tested it - works like a charm :] If you're willing to sacrifice the Role tagline, I can post the changes that need to be done to the theme. Just tell me which theme you're using.

    Oh. Thanks! I'm using the standard theme! :)

    In /themes/vanilla/styles/default/vanilla.css find this:

    #Comments .CommentNotice { padding: 6px; font-size:13px; text-align: center; border-top: 1px solid #D9999A; border-bottom: 1px solid #D9999A; background: #FEE1E1; color: #850406 !important; margin: 10px 0px 10px 0px; }
    and replace it with:

    #Comments .CommentNotice { margin: 0; padding: 10px 0; }
    Then replace comments.php in /themes/ with » this file «.

    Now in Roles & Permissions settings you can put whatever CSS styling you wish for a role. Just put it in the Role tagline field.

    For example:

    border-left: 5px solid #ccc; background: #f7f7f7
    Whatever you put in that field gets wrapped in style="/role-tagline/".
