Moderated Posts Background Color

[Merjawy]

This little code will change the background color of your moderated threads/posts to make it easy to spot by you and your Mods.
It helps with busy forums.

I tested it on vB 4.2.0 but should work on older versions. I use postbit_legacy.

Install:

Step 1:

In postbit_legacy template look for:



<div class="postbody">



Replace it with:



<div class="postbody <vb:if condition="$show['moderated']">moderated</vb:if>">




Step 2

Also, in additional.css, add this code



.postbitlegacy div.postbody.moderated {background: #F5DA81;
}




Change the background color to what you prefer

If you enjoy my mod, please consider marking it as "Installed". Any comments are welcome.

Great Idea. I'll give it a try.

[Merjawy]

Enjoy. Thank you... Please mark installed :)

The owner of a forum where I provide tech support wanted this. After installing it for her, I realized how handy it is. Now using it on 4 forums. :)

[Merjawy]

Glad you liked it... Enjoy :)

Is the coloring visible to all, or just mods and admins?

Just mods and admins. If a post is in moderation, no one else except mods and admins can even see the post.

As I noted above, I'm now using this on four vBulletin 4.2.0 PL3 forums.

It's working perfectly on 3 of those. However, on the 4th it isn't working at all.

Using this code at the top of additional.css:

.postbit div.postbody.moderated {background: #F5DA81 !important;
}

Any ideas as to why this would NOT work on that one forum? What are the likely conflicts that might prevent it from working?

Fixed: Never mind. I had forgotten to make the edit in the postbit template on the problematic forum. :o

Does something like this exist for the thread list as well?

Try this in additional.css

.threadbit.unapproved .nonsticky {background: #FFCCFF;}

Anyway to use this in conjunction with this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=247094

So that the moderated posts have a different background color for mods and admins but look normal for the post author.

I have both mods installed, but I want the background color to only change for Mods and Admins, but have the post look completely normal to the poster, even though nobody else can see the post.

I just tried this on my 4.2.2 forum and it didn't work. Did I do something wrong?

[ForceHSS]

You must of I done it on my 4.2.2 site and it worked

[MarkFL]

I just tried this on my 4.2.2 forum and it didn't work. Did I do something wrong?

This worked for me...did you grab the closing brace of the CSS selector (the code to add to "additional.css")?

Nice of you to offer. If I can't get it going on another go-round I may hit you up. Thanks.

[My Hattiesburg]

Ah, OK, I see where I screwed up. We use postbit, not postbitlegacy, and I didn't change that in the additional css code.

Works now, thanks!

Theres a mod for this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=315361

[Dave-ahfb]

can somebody give an example of how to use this on the search results?

I added the if statement to the search_results_postbit, then tried the css with the original and also tried the css by changing .postbit to .searchbit. neither worked.

Do you still need help with this?

[Inzvestor]

4.2.3 also uses postbit not postbitlegacy

A handy mod
