Message body background colour by username

[petrolskin]

I am writing some integration via showcase and would like to be able to have a unique post background colour whenever a service account posts in a thread, so they stand out. Either in the comments system or via the thread id that showcase can use.

Can you point me in the right direction please Bob?

The best way to do this would be to use a dynamic CSS selector and then add the classes via Extra.css

for example:

<div class="myclass-{$user.user_id}">

then in Extra.css

.myclass-12
{
background-color: #123456;
}

brilliant, thanks Bob. I'll have a play around with that.

For showcase comments, you'll need to use {$comment.user_id} (pertaining the the template nflj_showcase_comment)
