Font color that actually changes font color

Feature Upgrade · Api · Created by Lysander_works

font -font-color -font-code -color-text

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

The 'change font color' option only changes the font color in editing mode, not in preview or published view mode. There does not appear to be any font codes native to the html language. I tried [f] [/f] and [font] [/font] and didn't work. I'll even put a test here.

How does this feature request address the current situation?

The font color button is already on the upper ribbon, so one would assume it changes font color in the document structure, not just for the editor's view. The button would therefore be changed to add the font color specification code, whether it be html, css, or whatever is easiest.

What are other uses for this feature request?

Presentation and organization can be enhanced this way. A category or format type of articles that are bolded or hyperlinked within an article can show up in a different color. By default, the color changes on text that is hyperlinked (red on default theme, but it's different in other theme selections). That hyperlink color, or just font color in general should be overridden with a font color code insert. If this function does exist, I cannot find it. I've searched all over the place. So if it does exist, maybe the way to find this function can be upgraded instead.

The Team's Response

I am really sorry but this is already a grandmaster feature

The button is working. Just for Grandmaster+.

Unfortunately, that button isn't actually broken - it's a Grandmaster feature (Here's the codex article that mentions it, down in the Coloured Text section). The reason it isn't working for you, and for many others, is that the bbcode being used in the background isn't available for your membership level! I'm not sure it would be possible to make available to lower membership levels due to the fact it could be used to emulate other features of higher membership code, so possibly the font colour button should be removed entirely from that editor to prevent this kind of confusion in the future.

OMG! I can't even begin to tell you how much this is is frustrating. I have so many color coded things that I put in some of my articles and it's a NIGHTMARE to change the color, then save it, then look at the preview and NOTHING changes! hell! It also fucks up with the centering sometimes!! It's so frustrating!!! Please fix this!
