Resize text for article category blocks

[Skhilled]

The frontpage blocks on my site have only categories listing articles within them. The article titles that are listed in each block all seem to be in bold. How can I make them "unbold" or even add other text decorations without creating a custom block and a custom php/html block and doing it the old fashioned way?

I searched but could only find this which didn't seem to help:

This shows the same way using Curves or a custom theme.

I think that the function TPortal_categorybox() in TPsubs.template.php is the one that holds the HTML that you need to edit for this. It may have some bold tags in it. Let me know if that's not it.

That was it. This is the function:

Code Select Expand

// category listing blocktype
function TPortal_categorybox()
{
    global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $scripturl;

   if(isset($context['TPortal']['blockarticle_titles'][$context['TPortal']['blocklisting']])){
      echo '<div class="middletext" ', (sizeof($context['TPortal']['blockarticle_titles'][$context['TPortal']['blocklisting']])>$context['TPortal']['blocklisting_height'] && $context['TPortal']['blocklisting_height']!='0') ? ' style="overflow: auto; width: 100%; height: '.$context['TPortal']['blocklisting_height'].'em;"' : '' ,'>';
      foreach($context['TPortal']['blockarticle_titles'][$context['TPortal']['blocklisting']] as $listing){
         if($listing['category']==$context['TPortal']['blocklisting'])
            echo '<a href="'.$scripturl.'?page='.$listing['shortname'].'">'.$listing['subject'].'[/url] ' , $context['TPortal']['blocklisting_author']=='1' ? $txt['by'].' '.$listing['poster'] : '' , '[br /]';
      }
      echo '</div>';
   }
}

This is the line you wish to edit to remove the bold tags:

Code Select Expand

echo '<a href="'.$scripturl.'?page='.$listing['shortname'].'">'.$listing['subject'].'[/url]

Hmmm, something is either wrong with this code or SMF. I code in the first one is exactly the same as the 2nd but if you use code tags try to preview it the bold tags disappear!!! There must be difference between the function code and just using the line of code...

// category listing blocktype
function TPortal_categorybox()
{
    global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $scripturl;

    if(isset($context['TPortal']['blockarticle_titles'][$context['TPortal']['blocklisting']])){
        echo '<div class="middletext" ', (sizeof($context['TPortal']['blockarticle_titles'][$context['TPortal']['blocklisting']])>$context['TPortal']['blocklisting_height'] && $context['TPortal']['blocklisting_height']!='0') ? ' style="overflow: auto; width: 100%; height: '.$context['TPortal']['blocklisting_height'].'em;"' : '' ,'>';
        foreach($context['TPortal']['blockarticle_titles'][$context['TPortal']['blocklisting']] as $listing){
            if($listing['category']==$context['TPortal']['blocklisting'])
                echo '<a href="'.$scripturl.'?page='.$listing['shortname'].'">'.$listing['subject'].' ' , $context['TPortal']['blocklisting_author']=='1' ? $txt['by'].' '.$listing['poster'] : '' , '
';
        }
        echo '</div>';
    }
}

Even in the quote it shows that line in bold but not the tags...

EDIT: Got to be something with the preview! The single line of code worked and showed the bold tags until I edited it using preview. Think I found another smf bug.

Code Select Expand

echo '<b><a href="'.$scripturl.'?page='.$listing['shortname'].'">'.$listing['subject'].'</a></b>

You can see it works in the above post and is because I did not use preview before posting it. If I try to modify it, it will screw up again.

haha, now go report to SMF.

Along with the rest I've reported. LOL

There is another one I keep forgetting to report as well...
