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.

[turksengel]

thanks good idea ;)

[jugo]

Great idea.

/me installs.

[Andrew111888]

Thanks ;).

[Floris]

Cool, I like this! Tnx for sharing.

[alwafi]

thanks it's nice

[ehjay]

Mm, is it possible to have the color appear when announcements are unread -- and then have it revert to standard cell coloring once the user has read that announcement?

might be interesting to look into.

[quasel]

nice one

[Gizmo5h1t3]

nice addition, installed

[Kirk Y]

Cool. How could we do this for Announcements?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

[Andrew111888]

Yeah, that would just be editing the announcement template :).

[dbembibre]

If you want make the same with anouncement make de following
Edit forumdisplay_announcement

Search this

<td class="alt2" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadicons'] AND $show['inlinemod']">6<else /><if condition="!$show['threadicons'] AND !$show['inlinemod']">4<else />5</if></if>">
<div>


Replace with this:

<td class="stickybg" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadicons'] AND $show['inlinemod']">6<else /><if condition="!$show['threadicons'] AND !$show['inlinemod']">4<else />5</if></if>">
<div>

dosent work in my 3.5 Gold nothing changes..

[Kaliyoda]

Works great here in my 3.5 Gold - Installed - many thanks :D

[PennylessZ28]

No work on gold, background is a just white, but not the color I programed.

[PennylessZ28]

Works

[ggiersdorf]

care to explain what you changed? I cant get it to work on my theme never changes colors..

[Quillz]

Just installed it to my 3.5.0 test board! Great hack!

Edit the sticky_thread_prefix phrase with your HTML codes

<b><font color="red">Sticky: </font></b>
Hi, where can i find sticky_thread_prefix?

[Andrew111888]

Hi, where can i find sticky_thread_prefix?

It's a phrase as stated.

[TygerTyger]

This works fine on Gold (not tried assigning a specific colour). Thanks! Installed.

[Aeolian_X]

How do you assign a specific color? Mine color that was chosen is too dark for the font color.

[Aeolian_X]

The color seems to come from your table border setting. Only problem is, I can't change the link font color without changing it for everything.

[italks]

Installed thanks.

[ggiersdorf]

wow the support for this is great, Id love to use it but no one seems to respond.. As stated by Aeolian_X I cannot get it to change either..

[Andrew111888]

As I don't have a 3.5.0 Gold board and the admin demo is still only 3.0.7 I cannot test this hack to provide support.

But when half of the people say it works and the other half says it doesn't, I don't know how I'd provide support anyway.

[LJR]

Okay, and taking into consideration that I am thicker than a whale omlette, where can I find the sticky_thread_prefix bit?

Cheers

[Andrew111888]

....

It's a phrase as stated.

[LJR]

Okay, so we've established it's a phrase.

Now...where is it?

I can't find any reference to it in the templates or style sheets. So I am somewhat bemused. Mind you, this is only my first day with vBulletin.

[Andrew111888]

As it's a phrase, Admin CP -> Languages & Phrases -> Phrases would probably be a good place to look ;).

[LJR]

Doh!

Thank you so much. I found it. I'm sorry but I just didn't realise the meaning of "it's a phrase". So I have learned two things here.

Great mod/hack/whatever they call them here.

Thanks!!!!

[Andrew111888]

No problem :).

[TOZ]

quick question.



This code:

.stickybg

{

background-color: #hex;

color: #000000;

}

Will only change the Sticky font color, but not the background. I need to change the background.

By the way everything works on 3.5.1 exept this.

I wanted to do something like this:
http://www.ls1tech.com/forums//forumdisplay.php?f=80

[Andrew111888]

Are you changing #hex to a numerical hexcode value? Like #000000.

[manguish]

3.5.1 - same here - background goes white, and text goes to the colour defined in the css.

[da420]

Its not working for me for some reason in my v3.5.1...

I replace this line in threadbit:

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

With this line:

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

and then I go to the CSS definitions, and add this to the code at the bottom:

.stickybg
{
background-color: #00FF00;
color: #000000;
}

I would much appreciate some help, Thanks!

[manguish]

I did this :


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

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


Worked well with my scheme too :D

Change the red bit to say :

stickybg

The following will fix your issue:

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

You defined stickybg but you weren't utilizing it.

[AWI]

Works on 3.5.2, I was looking for something like this thanks

[dieselpowered]

Woks just fine on 3.5.2 :)

Thanks!

[LBSources]

great thanks..

[ReZ]

I followed the instructions correctly, but i can't get this to work.
Even when i define my hex code, the cell background keeps showing up as black.
Has anyone else got this to work with 3.5.2.?

[Andrew111888]

Numerous people have said it works with 3.5.2.

You have some incorrect code somewhere.

[Club3G]

I removed the hex line altogether to make it work, and just changed the color code to my background.

Edit: And threw up my own spin on it here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=874196

[QueenBee]

when the regular one it it was fine. but it was too broght for me, so i tried the color one. it froze up my board.:(

::clicks uninstall::

[Andrew111888]

If it froze your board, you did not follow my instructions. I can guarantee you if my code was installed correctly it will not freeze your board ;).

Hell, I don't even know if incorrect HTML can freeze your board...

[abadired]

Thanks! installed perfectly on 3.5.3 :D

[kallelm]

Only my stupidty kept me from installing this correctly.

Works fine on 3.5.3

Thank you!

[LiveMicSociety]

Installed :up:

[Cedric_FP]

Brilliant stuff.

[BabyNameAddict]

Instead of using the different cell color, I simply changed the text to Pinned and made it a different color (and bold). So thanks for that tip!

[Nathan2006]

Nice idea

Thank you

[Evil Chris]

I ended up just changing the phrase and not the subject mod.
Thanks.

[BuRNZau]

Any chance of an updated version for vB v3.6.0?

When I install this version on vB v3.6.0 AJAX inline thread title editing stops working. :(

[Andrew111888]

I'll look into it :).

[Andrew111888]

This has now been released for 3.6.0:

[DigitalDesktops]

Any way of changing the cells next to it for a sticky too? gave it my own shot but screamed as i saw 6 or so error messages and no posts in forums =S

Note: haven't skimmed a lot as am very busy so if it's in another thread just link me =)

[Andrew111888]

In the threadbit template, simply find the desired <td>'s you're looking for and use the conditional:


<if conditional="$thread['sticky'] == 1">
// sticky td
<else />
// normal td
</if>

[DigitalDesktops]

hmm ok, gave it a go, problem is some of it is already within an if tag and as a result returns:
The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/outrider/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3537) : eval()'d code on line 67

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

EDIT:

Got it working, had to however use this instead (kinda different to what you said, as i can't seem to embed ifs together very well.

Here's a sample


<!-- NEW LATEST POST COLUMN FOR STICKY -->

<if condition="$show['threadmoved']">
<td class="alt2" align="center">-</td>

<else />




<if condition="$thread['sticky'] == 1">
<td class="stickybg" title="<phrase 1="$thread[replycount]" 2="$thread[views]"> $vbphrase[replies_x_views_y]</phrase>">
<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:$stylevar[right]; white-space:nowrap">
$thread[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$thread[lastposttime]</span></if><br />
<phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase> <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=lastpost&amp;t=$thread[threadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
</div>
</td>


<else />


<td class="alt2" title="<phrase 1="$thread[replycount]" 2="$thread[views]">
$vbphrase[replies_x_views_y]</phrase>">
<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:$stylevar[right]; white-space:nowrap">
$thread[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$thread[lastposttime]</span></if><br />
<phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase> <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=lastpost&amp;t=$thread[threadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
</div>
</td>
</if></if>


Note: this doesn't make it look perfect once moved, so don't use it if you can think of something better =)

[Andrew111888]

I'll look into it tonight, though really, it shouldn't be difficult...

[danward]

Installed on my board and works a treat! Had to alter it slightly to work on 3.6.4 but thanks for the mod its great! :)
