Hey Alex,

I’ve just tried copying that snippet you pasted for ‘sp_thanks_user_stats‘ and it seems to work fine. I put it just underneath the username under the avatar in spTopicViewDesktop.php.

I then realised that because the classes associated with the function don’t specify a font colour, it’s inherited from spTopicViewSection..

spTopicViewSection doesn’t have a colour set in the first release version of Reboot, although it has been added to the next version which will be released soon, that doesn’t help. So – as a fix you should add:

#spMainContainer .spTopicViewSection {
    font-color: #000000;
}

– to your stylesheet. Child theme or not, this is already fixed in the next update so will remain working for you.

As for reputation, you can’t cut off a function with <span>’s like that. Try something like:

sp_thanks_post_user_reputation('tagClass=spCenter spPostUser', 'Reputation:');

Hope that helps!

Where do I add the color code?  In reboot.php?  Also, the reputation works, however it shows as the numerical reputation instead of the stars?

Yes – reboot.php

For the thanks function to work properly you need to add the class spPostUserThanksReputation. So – as the codex has it:

sp_thanks_post_user_reputation('tagClass=spCenter spPostUserThanksReputation', 'Reputation:');

should work.

This is what I have: 

sp_thanks_user_stats('tagClass=spCenter spThanksUserStats', $spThisPostUser->user_id, 'Thanked %THANKED% times');
sp_thanks_post_user_reputation('tagClass=spCenter spPostUser', 'Reputation:');

This is how it shows up in the forum:

#spMainContainer .spTopicViewSection {     font-color: #000000; }

Is there a specific line I have to add it to?

I already answered this above in post 4…

Thanks, but you really didn’t address my follow-up question:  I have added the code just like I was told, however it’s showing up as this:

# load the rtl css file if needed
if (isset($_GET['rtl'])) {
 include('reboot-rtl.php');
}

I did address the question., i said you need to have a specific class in the function call and showed you the code that was needed to show the stars. The code you are using is incorrect – it needs the class. copy and paste it from my post above.

As to the colour rule then paste it in anywhere after line 36 which is the closing php tag. It has to be somewhere with the rest of the actual CSS rules. There us a small php block at the top and the bottom so just make sure it is in the large middle section somewhere.

I have this as the code:

sp_thanks_user_stats('tagClass=spCenter spThanksUserStats', $spThisPostUser->user_id, 'Thanked %THANKED% times');
sp_thanks_post_user_reputation('tagClass=spCenter spPostUserThanksReputation', 'Reputation:');

It still shows up as this:

} else {
 include('base-reset.css');
}

?>
#spMainContainer .spTopicViewSection {
 font-color: #000000;
}

#spMainContainer a:link,

Curious.

Can you try changing that line for this:

sp_thanks_post_user_reputation('', 'Reputation:');

that is removing the tagClass code just leaving two single quotes instead.

IKE: Can you conform if it matters where the CSS goes for the topic view colour?

All that did is shift reputation to the left a space:

 Thanked 238 times

Then I need to set up some data so I can try this. Perhaps the Codex is wrong on this one which would be odd as I know they are all tested before being written up.

I know this worked on default, as I had it like this before.  

So what was the code you placed in the Default theme? because the theme doesn’t change the way the function works.

I can’t remember what I had there as I did not do a child theme and an update erased it.  Though I used the instructions from the codex to add it.
