Top Posters - Post Count

Where are you changing the number? How are you calling the function?

I changed the number in the code in SSI.php file, where the original post of this thread said to place the code, and to call it I am using the built in TP function to call it.

I guess one of my failings is that I don't use many of the built-in functions. I prefer to use a php block and write the code myself.

Open TPortalBlocks.template.php. Search for

Code Select Expand


ssi_topPoster(5);


Change the number there.

I know this topic has not been active in awhile, and I have the block working as posted, but unlike some of the previous posters...I want the font smaller. I am using this in a phpbox...is there a way to control font size there? Also, the names appear to be double spaced...how about single spaced.

I have tried changing it in the SSI, but I guess I am changing it the wrong way...I keep getting errors or no changes.

Thanks,

The font is controlled by your style.css file of your theme you're using.

Thanks IchBin...I will look in that file.

Thanks...I looked at the styles.css for the template I am using, and I found this section:

/* A code block - maybe even PHP . */
.code
{
   color: #000000;
   background-color: #dddddd;
   font-family: "courier new", "times new roman", monospace;
   font-size: x-small;
   line-height: 1.3em;
   /* Put a nice border around it. */
   border: 1px solid #000000;
   margin: 1px auto 1px auto;
   padding: 1px;
   width: 99%;
   /* Don't wrap its contents, and show scrollbars. */
   white-space: nowrap;
   overflow: auto;
   /* Stop after about 24 lines, and just show a scrollbar. */
   max-height: 24em;
}

However, no matter what I change the font size to...it does not change.

I am still thinking it needs to be added in the ssi.php file, yes...no?

I am still thinking it needs to be added in the ssi.php file, yes...no?

well it depends, the easy way is to just change the font tag in the ssi file or you could make your own css to control this.

Actually, that was my original question...how do you insert a font tag in a php file (proper syntax).

Thanks,

Wally
