Change Forum Cell Colour on Mouseover

Easier than it sounds, ive been looking for this mod for a while and couldn't find it, and when i asked for help here, no-one answered, so apologies if its been done before.

i put this together myself, all it does is change the colour of a forum cell between the alt 1 and alt 2 colours when the user move's their cursor over.

Confused? look at the screenies, that'll answer it

Fully Tested and working on 3.6.1

Shouldn't take more than a minute to install and i dont think you'll have any problems, but i'll support it as best i can (just in case).



===============
Changes

1.01 - Fixed a bug where it would cause problems in subforums.

Thx

sorry guys i dont use sub-forums myself so i didn't spot this earlier, but a friend of mine pointed out that it kind squashes sub-forums up if you use them.

if you do, download the text file again and make the relevant changes to the "forumhome_forumbit_level1_post" template.

that will fix it

thanks for this..

unfortunately, when using it on the threadbit, it makes the entire cell a hyperlink to the thread, and thus takes away the 'quick thread title edit' feature. is there any way to change this?

to make it so ONLY the link to the thread opens it and not the whole cell,

open template "threadbit" and find

<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]" style="cursor:hand;" onmouseover="this.className='alt2Active';" onmouseout="this.className='alt1Active';" onclick="window.location.href='<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$thread[threadid]<else />showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]</if>';">

and replace with

<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]" style="cursor:hand;" onmouseover="this.className='alt2Active';" onmouseout="this.className='alt1Active';"<else />

let me know if this solves your problem for you

[mkdevo]

that did remove the 'entire cell link', however, the inline thread title edit still doesn't work..

Hi there I have added this to my test forum to ensure it works ok, have gone to test it and nothing changes, on your screenshots it shows when you mouseover it goes red, do I have to change anything for it to do that or should it do it automatically, if so where am I going wrong?

Thanks
