Forums: Color Tags
-
Color tags are just another possible kind of formatting for the posts in TPT Forums.
It consists in converting automatically hexadecimal color notation-applicable texts into links or small images containing a link to a Color Hexa website of corresponding color.
E.g.:
"#755658" in the post editor becomes
.Isn't it smart?

It can be magically done actually. Here: ●
Forum posts support HTML tags, but the usage of them is limited, so you can't do everything with them like embedding another website.
This is how I did it:- For the link, I used the <a href="URL"></a> tag.
- For the colour, I used the <font color="#HEX"></font> tag
- To make the circle huge, I used 4 <big></big> tags.
- For the circle, I used the "BLACK CIRCLE" unicode character which is U+25CF.
- Because it's a special character, instead of copying and pasting the character straight away, I used one of its HTML entities which are ● (A decimal HTML entity) and ● (A hexadecimal HTML entity).
If you don't know HTML, then you probably won't be able to understand a thing from what I said.
Anyway, the code I used to make it possible is:<a href="http://www.colorhexa.com/755658"><font color="#755658"><big><big><big><big>●</big></big></big></big></font></a>Edited 7 times by Mrprocom. Last: 27th Dec 2015 -
I am good at HTML and I've never imagined that it would be possible. All that remains now is to automatically replace the #HEX notations when the Post button is clicked. Awesome :3
