Thanks for the update, the great instructions and all the confusion. This mod should be by default in vB, but thats another topic, another day.

Have a request. Maybe when you have time you can adjust the code so that Private Messages in Folder: Inbox and Private Messages in Folder: Sent Items reflects the same alternating row colors.

Will Do. I just thought about the Memberlist as well that needs alternating row colors. If I don't get too bogged down, I should post another update tomorrow. Anybody else that is implementing this, or thinking of implementing this, please let me know where else you need alternating row colors.

Also, if you want options, let me know what you want to option-ize. I'm thinking that the class names used should be configurable. Because template changes are involved, you can't turn it on and off via an option - unless there is a way that I don't know of to programatically update templates - now that would be cool! :)

Thank you very mutch to take the time for look at my problem nevetS,
i just drop your file from zip an all is workin fine now :)
i suggest: the same think for forumdisplay and showthread view, to have the most 3 views harmonised :)

Member list is definitely a needed.

Check back for the updates tomorrow. I have traffic court in the morning, so I've been spending the last few hours prepping my defense.... wish me luck! :)

Hi nevetS,

thanks for the update ;)

Why not just use exec_switch_bg() and get rid of the global_start Plugin?

This is the original solution that I implemented, however, exec_switch_bg() does not seem to work in the forum_bit templates. Add to that that the exec_switch_bg call in the threadbit template did not work when displaying search results. Not to say that it wouldn't work at all, but when I tried implementing it, it didn't.

Additionally, I'm going to implement some options in an update to select the classes so that the colors don't necessarily need to map directly to the alt1 and alt2 classes.

Yay! Update to member list coming along too?
