Forum row alternating colors

[Conner85]

I just found a website telling how to do it but the author didn't say which template to edit. If someone could please look at this code and let me know which templates to edit, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

With the release of vBulletin 4.x.x, I found myself searching for new updated code for alternating row color for the new vBulletin 4. You will see from another post within our Helpful Tips, Tricks & Articles we have an example of how to use this within vBulletin 3.x so we hope you will understand how to use this code without me having to go into to much detail.

After searching around, seeing others having the same problem I was having I decided to put together a solution.

Here is the new code for vBulletin 4, I am using this myself in my skin development.

Place this code at the top of the template

<vb:if condition="$altrow =& $GLOBALS['altrow']"></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="!isset($altrow)">
    <vb:if condition="$altrow = 0"></vb:if>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="++$altrow % 2 == 0">
    <vb:if condition="$rowClass = 'alt2'"></vb:if>
<vb:else />
    <vb:if condition="$rowClass = 'alt1'"></vb:if>
</vb:if>

Now where you want the alt1 or alt2 to be outputed please use

{vb:raw $rowClass}

Note: I have taken the time to do this and all I ask is that if you wish to share this on other forums, please do me a favor and link back to this post.

Enjoy!
