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?

<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>

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?

[Andreas]

Setting up an initial value should be as easy as

<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>
...

is their a way to acheive this without all of the conditionals?

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