Different Cell Color for Stickies

[Andrew111888]

What this modification does is change the td cell background color for a sticky thread when viewing a thread listing.

Please note the screenshots are from my 3.0.x release as there's no reason to make new ones.

Neat, I have a slightly different use for this utilizing your code. I want unanswered topics to be highlighted, so I changed

<if condition="$thread['sticky'] == 1">


to

<if condition="$thread[replycount] == 0">


And walla! :)

Thanks, installed.

I am running 3.6 Gold and I tried following your attached instructions by looking for the following line in the threadbit:

<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

and it's not found. Can somebody tell me which string of text to find, if 3.6 gold differs from previous versions?

thanks

[Andrew111888]

I have just confirmed that with a default 3.6.0 gold template, that line is indeed in the threadbit template.

Perhaps your template is out of version?

[bongwater]

Hmm, I guess I must have been looking at the wrong template , because I found it! This was a quick easy one.

Thanks *clicks install*

[Snake]

Thanks for the hack! I'll install it right away... :)

I realy liked the Idea from ericgtr

I modified it a little further.

2 options:

1) Highlight only 0 reply threads but no stickies (that is my choice)

<if condition="$thread[replycount] != 0">
<td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
<else />
<if condition="$thread['sticky'] == 1 AND $thread[replycount] == 0">
<td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
<else />
<td class="zeroreplybg" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
</if>
</if>

and for the css

.zeroreplybg
{
background-color: #ebf0d2;
color: #000000;
}


2) highlight both (same colors)

<if condition="$thread[replycount] == 0 OR $thread['sticky'] == 1">
<td class="stickybg" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
<else />
<td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
</if>

and for the css

.stickybg
{
background-color: #ebf0d2;
color: #000000;
}


Thx *install*

There's a way to have this working for all forums/thread/posts?

[DiSpy]

I found this code in threadbit in v 3.6.5:


<td class="alt1Active" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">


and replaced it with this:


<if condition="$thread['sticky'] == 1">
<td class="stickybg" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
<else />
<td class="alt1Active" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
</if>


...and don't forget to add:


.stickybg
{
background-color: #hex;
color: #000000;
}


to your CSS style definitions (and replace #hex with a color).

Thanks....

[mikewiemholt]

Thanks a bunch - instead of using a bg color I used an image which was nice ;)

Thanks again,

[iorkara]

Great Thanks Clicks Install

[Billspaintball]

Handy little idea :)

[dbembibre]

To extend the background in 3.6.x to announce as in the image 35356

In ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [desired style] -> Edit Templates -> threadbit_announcement

Find

<td class="alt2" colspan="$announcecolspan">


Change to

<td class="stickybg" colspan="$announcecolspan">



For 3.5 versi?n see the following post

[obmob]

Easy to use, thanks! :D

BTW: i think there is a typo in the install file it is this:

<td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

instead of this:

<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

[rooney72]

I modified advanced .css

.stickybg
{
background-color: #hex;
color: #750B10;
}

But the color is still light blue and NOT red as I want it

[yessir]

bg color = cell color
color = text color

[Dannyloski]

I might add this, subscribed for when i get home i can insall ...

Hey Guys -

I am trying to highlight the 'Sticky' thread topic but not sure how. Is this an FTP or CP (control panel) change? I want to draw attention to my 'Sticky' topics. I'm not a Geek so any details is very much appreciated.

Thanks

[rapidphim]

I am not able to read the txt file from here. Can some one please make it readable or post directly on the thread?

Also, is this compatible with 3.6.8?

[rb290]

Yea the .txt is hard to read!

[DJ2492]

This may be one of the dumbest questions ever but um well I am new to my vB Board and I was wondering where I would install the text that I got inside my text file :erm:

[Tom_S]

Nice addition ;)

[rolloffhill]

Works perfect.

[frostyIntrepid]

I did edit the css file and changed to #hex color but it doesn't seem to be reflecting on my forum.

Any idea guys?

[jackiereitz]

very quick and easy. Thanks

[NeoAntrax]

I did edit the css file and changed to #hex color but it doesn't seem to be reflecting on my forum.

Any idea guys?
I'm too :confused:

here you go all, or you simply copy all from the notepad and open word pad and past and it will be perfect:

Different Cell Color for Stickies
by Andrew111888

In ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [desired style] -> Edit Templates -> threadbit

Find the following line:

<td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

and replace it with the following:

<if condition="$thread['sticky'] == 1">
<td class="alt2" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
<else />
<td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
</if>

If that is not enough of an offset, you could also do what I did.

========== STEP 1 ==========

In ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [desired style] -> Edit Templates -> threadbit

Find the following line:

<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

and replace it with the following:

<if condition="$thread['sticky'] == 1">
<td class="stickybg" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
<else />
<td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
</if>

========== STEP 2 ==========

In ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [desired style] -> Main CSS -> Additional CSS Definitions

Add the following declaration:

.stickybg
{
background-color: #hex;
color: #000000;
}

and simply replace hex with the desired hexcode.
