I was wondering what I need to do to have different background colors per forum ids?

if possiable- or even change the colors of the different modules I have for cmps.

Several ways to do it
- Get the class, and add a line in the FORUMDISPLAY template to change the background for the class.
- Use a plugin and add the background for the class.
- Use a different style for that forum.

in the forum display template would you happen to know the code I would need to enter?

Real basic....
<if condition="$forumid == x">
<style type="text/css">
yourclass {background: pink;}
</style>
</if>

well to test it I just tried to put it on the top of the forumdisplay

<if condition="$forumid == 1">
<style type="text/css">
yourclass {background: pink;}
</style>
</if>

You can't just put that at the top of FORUMDISPLAY. It needs to go within the <head> tags. Also, I told you to find the class you need to change. I *know* it is not called "yourclass" So, there is no way that will work if you don't put in a valid class.

couldnt fit all the code but here is where I put it in forumdisplay

<if condition="$forumid == 110">
<style type="text/css">
.forumdisplay{color: pink;}
</style>
</if>

You need to re-read what Lynne said and follow the instructions...
You CAN NOT put this code in the forumdisplay template
You must find for yourself the name of the class, it is NOT "yourclass" nor "forumdisplay." forumdisplay is a template name and NOT the template you need to add this code. You must add it to the HEADER so use "headinclude" template.

ok so I tried

<if condition="$forumid == 1">
<style type="text/css">
tcat {background: pink;}
</style>
</if>

and it sees to work- what if I wanted to add more then one forum id to that color?


whould I use array>

if condition="in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(147,1,3))

yes... the array should work but just use $forumid not $foruminfo['forumid'] if $forumid is already working for you.

well i used what I posted and it works for the most part but .tcat doesnt do the subfoums

you can see that they are still blue. not sure what class that is- tried .thead, td.thead, div.thead, th.thead and non worked- so im not sure what works?
