Alternating Postbit Legacy Colours

On my current forum (running 3.8.4) I use the postbit legacy template with alternating colours. (post 1 is colour 1, post 2 is colour 2, post 3 is colour 1, post 4 is colour 2 etc) but the method I use for vB3 does not work for vB4, probably because of the need for variable registration.

Unfortunately PHP is not a language I am familiar with, but if somebody could tell me how to achieve alternating postbit colours I would be very grateful!

This is the code I am using under vB3.8.4. It goes into postbit_legacy.

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$GLOBALS[altclass] == '1'">
    <if condition="$GLOBALS[altclass] = '2'"></if>
<else />
    <if condition="$GLOBALS[altclass] = '1'"></if>
</if>

Well, if's are done differently in vb4 - <vb:if condition=""> and <vb: else /> and </vb:if> . Have you tried it with the new syntax?

Yes I have.

The top of my postbit legacy template looks like this

PHP Code:


		
			
{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_start}

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS[altclass] == '1'">

    <vb:if condition="$GLOBALS[altclass] = '2'"></vb:if>

<vb:else />

    <vb:if condition="$GLOBALS[altclass] = '1'"></vb:if>

</vb:if> 

<li class="postbitlegacy_$GLOBALS[altclass] postbitim" id="post_{vb:raw post.postid}">

The HTML that is output is

HTML Code:

<li class="postbitlegacy_$GLOBALS[altclass] postbitim" id="post_2">

Thanks for your reply :)

Ok, solved it.

Remove the postbit legacy code and replace with a plugin in postbit_display_start with this

PHP Code:


		
			
if($GLOBALS[altclass] == '1')

{

$GLOBALS[altclass] = '2';

}else{

$GLOBALS[altclass] = '1';

}

And the top of postbit legacy becomes

HTML Code:

<li class="postbitlegacy_{vb:raw GLOBALS[altclass]} postbitim postcontainer" id="post_{vb:raw post.postid}">

Then post your *exact* code so we can see it and try it on our own test sites.
