Individual CSS for Comments from individual Groups

Stahlblau · August 2008

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/".
