How would I go about doing this?

[rene mauricio]

I was able to do this with IPB but now that I own a vB I am really lost. I have no idea how vB outputs its templates. Could someone here please tell me how I might be able to accomplish this both on the index and the forum display?

I really dont think you can do that to the thread display, because of how it is done

However it is possible on the forumhome, there is a modification at vBulletinTemplates.com to do it

You wouldnt happen to have a link to it would you? I have no idea what I am looking for (what they might call it) other than to look in the VB3 section.

Its old, but it should still work

Ah thank you. It indeed did work for FORUMHOME but it needed a little adjustment.

<if condition="$forum['displayorder'] % 2 == 0">class="alt2"<else />class="alt1"</if>
should be:
<if condition="$forum[forumid] % 2 == 0">class="alt2"<else />class="alt1"</if>

I also found out (on my own) which file needed to be touched up in order to get it to work with THREADBIT properly. It was only a matter of finding out when and where vB spits out that template and the rest was easy


See? :surprised:

displayorder works, IF you have them numbered correctly, forumid only works correctly if the forums are in a linear order without gaps. 1,2,3,4 etc
