php code background colour, change it to white :@

unwashed potato! · 8 Feb 2008 at 02:25

anyone know why the background colour of the code box has gone back to the horrible dark blue? they changed it to a lovely white but just noticed it is no longer this.

if you're reading this and have the powers that can do fix it please do, everyone here will thank you for it.

e.g.

PHP:

 <?php 
try{ 
    $conn=$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "", "");// or die ('Cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()); 
    mysql_select_db("kimmystr_wordpress");// or die('Could not select database '); 
    $pauthor=$_POST["author"]; 
    $pcontent=$_POST["comment"]; 
    $result = mysql_query("insert into wp_comments(comment_author, comment_date, comment_content) values('$pauthor', now(), '$pcontent')");// or die('Fail'); 
    header('Location: http://www.kimmystravels.co.uk/wp-content/themes/main/messages.php?result=success'); 
  } 
  catch (Exception $e) { 
    header('Location: http://www.kimmystravels.co.uk/wp-content/themes/main/messages.php?result=fail'); 
  } 
?>

Code:

[COLOR=#000000] [COLOR=#0000bb]<?php 
try[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]{

Yeah, I was wondering why it was changed back too :confused:

GravyMonster · 8 Feb 2008 at 09:01

I think they changed it to white, then a day or two later updated vB which reset it back to default.

but then they did put it back to white again and it was white for ages, only recently has it gone back to blue.

Code:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain(forums.overclockers.co.uk) {
    div.alt2[dir=ltr][style] { background:#fff !important; }
}

you could just do that in userChrome.css couldn't you? No need to install styles

GravyMonster · 8 Feb 2008 at 11:50

Cheers Sic, thats a really handy extension.

gumbald · 8 Feb 2008 at 12:04

I noticed it too the other day.

Can we change back to white please admins! Saves me installing plugins on all the systems I use when avoiding doing work

That's only slightly useful though, as not everyone will do that.

Yeah but Stylish makes it easier to switch them on and off and indeed to create them in the first place. It's just generally nicer to have.

Sic · 8 Feb 2008 at 19:42

yeah fair point. I like to have as few extensions as possible, though.

exactly, harldy anyone will do this and then again in the future it stops someone asking for it to be changed. Im sure they dont mind as they had it white before, just perhaps havent noticed.

on a side note has anyone else been having problems with ff and typing in this text editor in that when i press the apostraphe key and then slash key it opens ff quickfind? anyone know why it might be doing this and how to stop it?

tolien · 8 Feb 2008 at 22:42

It's been pointed out.

It's deliberate - the apostrophe (FAYT Link) and slash keys (FAYT Text) are different forms of Find As You Type.
It shouldn't be firing when you've got a text box selected though, but AFAIK that bug's been fixed for ages.

It's definitely been fixed for a while, because it was for about ten minor releases the most annoying Firefox bug by far.
