Is it possible to change background color for moderated and deleted posts?

You are very welcome. The mod description has some Q&A's.

Q. Help, why is my moderated posts background yellow?

A. Change the stylevar in your styles. It's the stylevar, vbm_mod_post_background_color found under the group, vBModsStylevars.

Q. Help, why is my deleted posts background yellow?

A. It's the stylevar, vbm_mod_post_background_color found under the group, vBModsStylevars. It uses the same background colour stylevar as the moderated posts to make things easier.

I could also add a new stylevar so the colour for both is different if this is a requested feature...

Hi!

Great for deleted post... but (yes i ask a lot :p)
That's not working for 1st deleted post.

I don't know how to explain it but when you delete a whole thread, the color is not changing.

So is it possible for "Delete thread - soft delete"?

Anyway... you do a great work!

BR

Which page are you viewing the deleted thread on? This mod only works on the "showthread" page and not the "forumdisplay" page. I am sure I could get this working to display on the forumdisplay page too. Is this what you mean?

Ok so when you are in a thread and you want to delete the whole thread...

You go on :
Administrative -> Delete thread -> 'Soft Delete'

When a moderator go back in the thread (example : via a report post) he doesn't see that the thread is already deleted or not.
I tought your mod made the 1st post colored so my moderators can know if an other soft deleted the thread.

So that's not in forumdisplay coz in forum display there is already a grey color and a "no entry sign"

The intersting for my moderators is a color or a sign in the first post of a soft deleted thread.

1.2.0 change the color of the forumdisplay color and not inside the thread

I found a bug : the search resuslts are in yellow now!

So

Here is a bug in the 1.2.0 : the search results are colored

Printscreen :
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/



And the deleted thread (soft delete) are still not colored INSIDE the thread

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

I have fixed the bug with the search results being coloured. Thanks for pointing it out. When the thread is deleted, it does not add anything to the postbit_legacy to check if the thread is deleted or not therefore, until I have time to write a check to see if the thread is deleted, the posts inside a deleted thread will not be coloured.

Default vB doesn't add colour to a deleted threads posts either.

I installed this on my test site and although deleted posts show in the proper color, moderated posts do not. I'm running 4.2.2.

Does this work on postbit and postbit_legacy, or does the type make any difference? I'm using postbit.

This was done using postbit_legacy. I can update it to include postbit too if you wish.

Please do

Yes, thanks.

v1.3.0 (17 April, 2015)
- Add feature: Works on Postbit & Postbit_Legacy

Thanks downloaded new version

Thanks!

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but it's not working for me. Now even the deleted posts don't show in a different color whereas with 1.2 they did.

Have you set up the options? Works fine for me on postbit an legacy.

I've tried everything I can think of. I can get deleted posts and deleted threads to show in color but not moderated posts.

Try to uninstall the mod then reinstall a fresh version

Just tried that and still the same results - deleted posts and threads are colorized but not moderated posts.

Could you send me a link to your forum along with login details so I could look for myself and fix the issue?

v1.3.1 (19 April, 2015)
- Fix bug with postbit not working

The new version worked! Thanks!

Glad to hear it!

Please remember to mark as installed.
