I'm trying to make it so that Forum Links change color to orange when a new post is in the forum. I managed to accomplish this for Thread Links, but I'm unsure what to use for a conditional to do the same for Forum Links.

Here's the line I created that styles a Thread Link as orange and bold when it has a new post in it:

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]"<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"> style="font-weight:bold;color:#FFA700"</if>style="font-weight:bold">$thread[threadtitle]</a>

from threadbit


Here's the original line that renders Forum Links:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

from forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

I've modified that line to the following:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]" style="font-weight:bold">$forum[title]</a>

from forumhome_forumbit_level2_post


I recognize that I need to use a conditional for the style determinate, just as I did within the threadbit. But my inexperience prevents me from knowing what syntax to use for the conditional in order to differentiate Contains New Posts from Contains Old Posts. What should I use for a conditional?



(Note: After determining the method needed for changing the threadbit, I happened upon This Thread explaining how to Change New Post Thread Colors.)

Solution: have if conditionals check the statusicon to determine formatting

<if condition="$forum['statusicon'] == 'new'">
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]" style="font-weight:bold;color:#FFA700">$forum[title]</a>
<else />
	<if condition="$forum['statusicon'] == 'new_lock'">
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]" style="font-weight:bold;color:#FFA700">$forum[title]</a>
	<else />
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]" style="font-weight:bold">$forum[title]</a>
	</if>
</if>
