Changing ONE Forum's TD in FORUMBITS
 

I'm having a heck of a time here. I asked this question several months ago, but no one was able to give me an answer.

One thing I should mention is that I've changed my forumbits according to the ForumHome Category Spacing mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...umhome+spacing

I'm trying to change the forum icon TD to another background color for ONE forum, and no matter what I do, it won't change it to the color I want.

I can make it have NO background color, but I can't get it to change to a specific color.

The thing that I think may be an issue is that this mod was written for 3.7.0*, and I know that there has been at least one template change since then.

I'll post code if necessary.

Thanks! :)

Here's my code in forumhome_forumbit_level2_post:

And here's the CSS for that one forum:

I've tried both isolating that CSS (only putting alt22 in the template), and both "background" and "background-color", and nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions?

Are you sure that the if condition is even working?
Ensure that the class alt22 actually appears in the <td>

Thanks for replying.

Yup, the TD in question is showing alt22. The thing is, on my forum home, the background for that TD is missing, so it is different from the other forum listings, but I just can't make it change to the background that I want. :(

I should say that when I combine the two classes the background is the default alt2, but when I isolate alt22, there is no background...

Ah, I see what you did.
You used background: #Color, which is improper. Background is a shorthand notation for a large list of style options, the code you're looking for is background-color: #Color

Hope that helps ;)

Thanks, but unfortunately that didn't work either. :(

I just don't get what's happening...:erm:

Here's what's happening...

This is NOT the background that I want....

Provide a forum link? Can help a bit more if I can see the whole source.

PS. background color looks different to me..

Sure:

Yes, the background color that is shown is different from the rest of the forums, but what you're seeing is NO background on that <td>, and the background color from the container is being shown.

The color that I'm going for is the same yellowish color that you see on the "New Posts" image toward the bottom (or the Title of that forum).

I really do appreciate you taking a look at this for me. :)

Your css is messed up right above where you define alt22. Fix it and I'll bet it works:

I don't know if it's screwed up in other places, but that was just real obvious to me.

In your css file you have a line
.sales2 a:link, .sales2_alink, .sales2 a:visited, sales2_avisited {color: #224887;)

All styles after this point are not applied

I edited your source realtime, everything should work provided that is fixed!

Also there are a few other errors you might want to look at, but not as important! One of your backgrounds is declared as background="link..", although not major, it just doesn't do anything.

Edit : Ah! Lynne beat me to it :( Nicely done.

Here's a full list of mistakes if curious

I totally missed that. I made those changes a couple of months ago, so I didn't even think to check it.

Sorry for the noobiness, but I REALLY appreciate this! :)

Thank you both. :)

I'm just not sure where you're talking about as a background="link..."

I'm just not seeing it. I'm most likely missing something important, but I'm still pretty new at most of this.

Thanks again! :)

Glad to help, as for the background, I believe it is in your header file.

Ah, yes. I think I did hard code that one in my template.

Thanks again! :)
