Different Cell Color for Stickies
 

What this modification does is change the td cell background color for a sticky thread when viewing a thread listing.

Please note the screenshots are from my 3.0.x release as there's no reason to make new ones.

Versions:
3.6.0
3.5.0
3.0.0

Installs, thanks :)

thanks good idea ;)

Great idea.

/me installs.

Thanks ;).

Cool, I like this! Tnx for sharing.

thanks it's nice

Mm, is it possible to have the color appear when announcements are unread -- and then have it revert to standard cell coloring once the user has read that announcement?

might be interesting to look into.

nice one

nice addition, installed

Cool. How could we do this for Announcements?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

Yeah, that would just be editing the announcement template :).

If you want make the same with anouncement make de following
Edit forumdisplay_announcement

Replace with this:

How would i go about making the word 'sticky' <i> and <b> like yours?

Edit the sticky_thread_prefix phrase with your HTML codes

<b><font color="red">Sticky: </font></b>

dosent work in my 3.5 Gold nothing changes..

Works great here in my 3.5 Gold - Installed - many thanks :D

No work on gold, background is a just white, but not the color I programed.

Works

care to explain what you changed? I cant get it to work on my theme never changes colors..

Just installed it to my 3.5.0 test board! Great hack!

Hi, where can i find sticky_thread_prefix?

It's a phrase as stated.

This works fine on Gold (not tried assigning a specific colour). Thanks! Installed.

How do you assign a specific color? Mine color that was chosen is too dark for the font color.

The color seems to come from your table border setting. Only problem is, I can't change the link font color without changing it for everything.

Installed thanks.

wow the support for this is great, Id love to use it but no one seems to respond.. As stated by Aeolian_X I cannot get it to change either..

As I don't have a 3.5.0 Gold board and the admin demo is still only 3.0.7 I cannot test this hack to provide support.

But when half of the people say it works and the other half says it doesn't, I don't know how I'd provide support anyway.

Okay, and taking into consideration that I am thicker than a whale omlette, where can I find the sticky_thread_prefix bit?

Cheers

....

Okay, so we've established it's a phrase.

Now...where is it?

I can't find any reference to it in the templates or style sheets. So I am somewhat bemused. Mind you, this is only my first day with vBulletin.

As it's a phrase, Admin CP -> Languages & Phrases -> Phrases would probably be a good place to look ;).

Doh!

Thank you so much. I found it. I'm sorry but I just didn't realise the meaning of "it's a phrase". So I have learned two things here.

Great mod/hack/whatever they call them here.

Thanks!!!!

No problem :).

quick question.



This code:

Will only change the Sticky font color, but not the background. I need to change the background.

By the way everything works on 3.5.1 exept this.

I wanted to do something like this:
http://www.ls1tech.com/forums//forumdisplay.php?f=80

Are you changing #hex to a numerical hexcode value? Like #000000.

3.5.1 - same here - background goes white, and text goes to the colour defined in the css.

Its not working for me for some reason in my v3.5.1...

I replace this line in threadbit:

<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

With this line:

<if condition="$thread['sticky'] == 1">
<td class="alt2" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
<else />
<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
</if>

and then I go to the CSS definitions, and add this to the code at the bottom:

.stickybg
{
background-color: #00FF00;
color: #000000;
}

I would much appreciate some help, Thanks!
