First of all thx to all folks in Request forum that helped me on this one. Second I don't really think you can call this a hack but here it goes.

Description:
This hack makes description forum cells to have mouseover effects. It will change the color from second alt color to the first one as you go over it with the mouse.

Enjoy! More to come! :)

For some reson where you see that it says #some number for color that should saying firstaltcolor and secondaltcolor

Hmm, I don't understand, what ten and where to put [i] [ i]

Awesome, thanks, but I got a question:

can this be done on the threadlist, and if so, how?

Great idea! I'm 99% that it can be done. I'm gonna try to work it out now.

I got it working. :)

Just go to templetes and pull out forumdisplaybit and find:
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left"

And replace it with this:
td onmouseover="NavRollOver(this)" onmouseout="NavRollOut(this)" bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left"

Only thing it is it doesn't work for announcements cell, you have to edit that cell too to get it working.

*If you see bgcolor="#SOMENUMBER" put firstaltcolor there.

It sets the mouse over localy but does show you what templates to modify. vb.org now has a template modification section to post these modifications.

Hi,

I know how much you guys hate newbies, but here goes.

I've tried modding every single part of VBB to get this to work, with no luck.

I suspect I'm adding it to the wrong 'head' part, can anyone explain in a little more detail? In which <head> tags where should the code be inserted?

That would be the 'headinclude' template. And no, we don't hate you! ;)

Damn, not working. Shame, it's an excellent hack. Had a look in headinclude, there's no <head> tags in there, looked everywhere else with so much as half a head tag, no luck there either. I'm off to play GT3, if anyone figures this out (or gets it working) post below!

There are no head tags in headinclude, but that is the template that is inserted into <head></head> by the script.

Smachol, you're a genius, thanks a million. I'm off to get cellhover working, god damn it, and I won't stop until those cells blink on and off..

I wish I did, but no. Sorry! I don't use this effect myself and was only passing through to help with the <head> thing.

Add something like this to the <td>:onclick="window.location.href='forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]'The url in the onlclick should mimic the url for the link in the cell.

Well, I tried that FWC but it actually removed my links, both when putting it in the <td onmouseover and by itself.

This template mod (with onclick functionality) was released several months ago on vb.com. Here is the thread. There are a couple colors that are backward, and you don't want the onclick on the replies box because it breaks the javascript. But, it gives you the color change on hover with onclick.

I did see that, and there is another one posted there that I am now using as it seems much simpler then the one you posted.

It's here:

The only thing is it only links the cells on the front forum home, not in the threadlist though. When I try adding the same code to forumdisplaybit, the mouseover works but the link does not, and also the font changes for some reason.

By the way, Mods, Email notification seems to have stopped working for me for some reason.

Simpler does not necessarily mean better. :)

True, but I got it, here's the link for anyone else.

Nice modification, I just added it... I didnt want the one where you can click the cells, so this is ideal :)
