Comments php script colour change

[DJ_pluto]

i have just got a free php comment script of the net. but the defualt theme is black text on white back ground.

 

Wile on my web site i have a dark back ground and white writing, so after many hours of php code readying and learning i have finaly managed to change most of the text into white exept for the last 3 text pices.

 

1. the "Name/ tilttle" of the comment/s

 

2. the "date and time" of when the comment was posted

 

3. the " comment/ text" which the user posted

 

 

 

from what i have found i belive i need to set the colour in this part of the script here but everything i have tryed hasnt worked.

 

 

1.  $COM_LANG['header'] = "Comments";

 

2.  $COM_LANG['months'] = array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");

 

3.  not sure where the code is for this :|

 

 

i have just started with php.

 

 

 

 

 

[thryb]

can you post the all code of when those are printed. Its more a html problem isnt it?

[DJ_pluto]

this is the theme file out of the comments script , if u look thrue most of the code u can see that ive changed most text into white already exept for the ones which are values.

this is the COM_LANG files it refers to.

 

<?

$COM_LANG['header'] = "Comments";

$COM_LANG['no_comments_yet'] = "No comments yet";

$COM_LANG['Name'] = "Name";

$COM_LANG['r_disc_name'] = "Field 'Name' must be not empty";

$COM_LANG['E-mail'] = "Email";

$COM_LANG['Notify'] = "Notify me about new comments on this page";

$COM_LANG['Dont_show_email'] = "Hide my email";

$COM_LANG['Text'] = "Text";

$COM_LANG['r_disc_text'] = "Field 'Text' must be not empty";

$COM_LANG['Submit'] = "Submit";

$COM_LANG['not_allowed'] = "You are not allowed to post comments here";

 

$COM_LANG['months'] = array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");

 

$COM_LANG['email_new_comment'] = "New comment on the page";

$COM_LANG['email_from'] = "From";

$COM_LANG['email_to_unsubscribe'] = "If you don't want to receive emails about new comments on this page use this link:";

 

$COM_LANG['unsubscribed'] = "You've been unsubscribed";

$COM_LANG['not_unsubscribed'] = "You are not subscribed";

 

?>

[thryb]

This is the style you can use to change everything

style="color: white; background-color: black"

 

Example, in your

     <textarea name="disc_body" cols="40" rows="13" wrap="VIRTUAL"></textarea>

 

you can add the first piece of code to change the BD and FG.

     <textarea name="disc_body" cols="40" rows="13" wrap="VIRTUAL" style="color: white; background-color: black"</textarea>

You can also add those to your DIV layer

 

background-color:black;

layer-background-color:black;

visibility: visible;

 

div#usernotes {
background-color:black; 
layer-background-color:black; 
visibility: visible;
}
div#usernotes div.head, div#usernotes div.foot {
background-color:black; 
layer-background-color:black; 
visibility: visible;
padding: 4px;
}
div#usernotes div.foot {
   text-align: right;
}
div#usernotes div.foot a, div#usernotes div.head a {
background-color:black; 
layer-background-color:black; 
visibility: visible;
}

 

I hope it help.

hmmm, thank you very much but i still cant seam to work out how to change to font color for the text.

 

http://www.oldschoolscratch.com/html/movies/comments/comments.php

 

thats a link of it working , everything which is in black writing needs to be in white

 

[thryb]

when I look at your source ... I see this

</div> <div class="note">
 <strong>swear test</strong><br />
 <small>27 Aug 2007, 06:03</small>
 <div class=<font color="white">"text"</font>>
 Your text ....
 </div>
</div> <div class="note">

 

 

<div class=<font color="white">"text"</font>> is wrong...

 

Look in your code for "<div class=<font" and replace it to something like

 

<div class="yourdivclass"><font color="white">$yourcode</font></div>
