Alternate rows ala SitePointForums

Anyone want to make a hack to have the tables show up as on http://www.sitepointforums.com/ ?

I tried with templates but couldnt get it to work, so I think someone will have to hack something :P

This is how I do it:

PHP Code:


		
			
$alt_on=0;



while (outputting_threads_or_posts) {

  if (!$alt_on) {

    show_first_color;

    $alt_on = 1;

  }

  else {

    show_second_color;

    $alt_on = 0;

  }

}

Um, unless vBulletin catches the entire threads' posts' template at once and spits it out, catch it before it outputs each individual post, and alter.

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$forum[displayorder] % 2 == 0">alt1<else />alt2</if>

or you can add this to your files ... insert code before any eval(templates) that you want to alternate colors

PHP Code:


		
			
// ######## GT OPTION 
 $bgclass = (++$i%2)?"alt1":"alt2"; 
 // ######### END GT

TIP: For easier vb upgrading... never remove code from defualt vb files.
you should comment them out

PHP Code:


		
			
// ##### GT DISABLE OPTION 
 //function existingcode(){
 // print_no_permission();
 //}
 // ###### GT END

When adding code make it stand out.

PHP Code:


		
			
// ###### GT OPTION 
 function newCode(){$goeshere;}
 // ######### END GT

<if condition="$forum[displayorder] % 2 == 0">alt1<else />alt2</if>

Where do I add that?

Remember when using this that the display order in the forums HAS to be numbered like this:

101
102
103
104

If you number your forums like I used to:

100
110
120
130

it won't work.

All the code here is pretty redundant, vB3 has a function already to switch the background colors: exec_switch_bg() and use $bgclass in place of alt1/alt2 in the HTML.

But not in templates. You have to edit files for that. Editing templates is much easier and better if you ever have to upgrade. ;)

HTML Code:

<if condition="exec_switch_bg()">

No file mods there ;) And I'm sure it still works in vB3 RC1/2.

Ok, how would you set up a template with this and the bgclass?

HTML Code:

<if condition="exec_switch_bg()">

    <div class="$bgclass">this will be alt1 or alt2</div>

</if>

<if condition="exec_switch_bg()">

    <div class="$bgclass">this will be the other class</div>

</if>

<if condition="exec_switch_bg()">

</if>

But how would you set the first one to be alt1? Do you have to add something to the stylesheet?

It already knows what, if anything the previous one was, however I'm sure you can override it with a parameter, but I don't have a copy of functions.php with me at the moment.

Any idea how i could make this work for posbit only?

Setting up an initial value should be as easy as

Code:

<if condition="$bgclass='alt2'">

<td class="$bgclass">This will be in alt2</b>

</if>

<if condition="exec_switch_bg()">

<td class="$bgclass">Now alternating the classes</td>

</if>

<if condition="exec_switch_bg()">

<td class="$bgclass">Now alternating the classes</td>

</if>

...

Can someone explain carefully where to place all this code? I'm trying to get the post colors to alternate.
