Must have been updating the thread when you posted. They're in there now.

Member has a name too... lol.

This looks like its in the vBulletin Options... wouldnt this work better if it was in the Style Manager so that you can customize the colors per style?

Its a good idea but it should work on a per style basis.

Example. Making hot thread appear in red can look extremly good in one style but could be readable in another. :-(

What I would reccomend doing is changing all the:

in the product file to:

With nameOfClass being things like hotThreadColor, closedThreadColor, etc.

Then, add:

to the Additional CSS Definitions in the All Style Options under the Style Manager. That way, all the admin has to do is edit the All Style Options' Additional CSS Definitions to what colors they want and it will only affect the colors for that one style...

That would be one simple, easy way to do it. But the best way would be if you could add a new field altogether for the All Style Options that works like the Table Footer or Table Header sections... where you can choose color, font, background, etc. But that might require more work than you would want to put in (I'm not sure how much work exactly, because I haven't played with the plugin system too much personally).

Very nice indeed! :)

JoRd likes very much!!

Thanks a lot acid :D

I was looking for something that would actually color the background of the table row itself.....

I dont think that is possible with this mod is it?

You'd have to change some of the coding to do that... Instead of: <span style="color: ...

It'd have to be something like: <span style="background: ...

... Actually, it might need to be added to the table cell itself from the templates...

How about adding the options to make the thread title bold, italic, etc.. too :)

This was just a quick port of my vB 3.5 version over to 3.6. I haven't had time to make any feature changes. Everything that you guys have talked about is already planned for a future version, I just don't have enough time to sit down and put it all together. I designed this for my board and after a few of my members wanted it for their vBulletin, I decided to release it as a mod -- that's why it's not on a per style basis; I've only got one style. :p

Can this also turn the color of 5 star threads to something else?

Possibly. I'll look into it.

I have a problem with this mod. The colour of the poll and moderate thread are the same ...
The moderate thread have allways the colour of the poll thread :(

I test it one a 3.6 RC3

I'll take a look.

Edit: I couldn't replicate the problem albibak. As you see below, Poll and Moderated threads are showing up the correct color. I'm running RC3.

So I don't understand. I test it with this xml file :s
I will test it more after :(

Moderate thread is when you have move a thread? Or when you have edit a thread?

No when you've Unapproved a Thread.

OK.
I see one thing.
It will be possible to have a color for moved thread? In fact, the color is by default the same of "poll thread". And more, the prefix "move" is not with color.

You can look the screen in attach file.

Oh I see now. That's strange. I'll take a look into it later tonight and issue a fix sometime soon.

I second this request.

<span class="highlight">Version 1.01 - August 4, 2006</span>

Added: HTML Markup Support - Bold, Italicize, Underline, and Strikethrough your Threads!
Fixed: Bug that colored Moved Threads as Polled Threads

Note: The HTML for a Strikethrough is <del>

Thanks for the new version. Text decoration is working!

Good to hear. You're quite welcome.

*installed* - thank you :)

When you make a doubleclick for quick-edit a threadtitle it shows
Look at the attachment. :)

Yeah, I've known about that for awhile now. The only way to fix it requires a template edit. But you can just write over all the stuff in the quick edit, the markup will be reapplied after a refresh.

Not a major issue here. The hack is great!

Great thing but a frew problems.

Show attached pictures.

When I change a colored Thread titel, i show me the colorHTML code.

As I said above, this bug has been an issue for everyone who has been creating modifications to the thread titles. Just write over everything in the Quick Edit form and it works fine.

Installed... thank you

One Question, my Thread are sticky and closed and i woul like to show only the Sticky Color how can i do that, because all of my closed Stickis are in closed color.

I was wondering when someone was going to ask that. I'll switch some things around and upload a new version.

Still running an old tweaked version and have the order of priority as poll -> sticky -> closed -> others

That is unless there is an option for "other" in the hack yet, to change the colour of any threads that are not sticky/poll/closed/hot/moderated/etc.

Others as in Regular Threads? No, I never added an option to color Normal Threads. I suppose I could, I never really thought about it.

How did you prioritize the colorings?

Just changed the order of the <if> conditions, sloppy and simple hehe thats me :)

Oh okay, that's what I figured.

Kirk, Good plugin - Clicked "Install" :)

Thank you for the compliment.
