$bgclass not getting initialized?

[Vcize]

I have a custom theme. The developer for it is pretty unresponsive so I'm not counting on any help there, though I may just be missing something general.

When I download the theme from the site it was originally done on and install it on a new site, the thread row class on forumdisplay is not getting set.

Specifically, the old (working) site looks like...

<td id="td_threadtitle_78" class="alt1" title="blah blah">

The new, non-working site looks like..

<td id="td_threadtitle_78" class="" title="blah blah">

In the threadbit template, class is set as..

<td class="$bgclass" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]">

Where is $bgclass pulling from? Any idea what step I might have missed to get it to alternate between alt1 and alt2 properly when simply downloading/re-installing the style?

I don't see any $bgclass in the threadbit template, it just has alt1 and alt2 coded for different parts of the display. There are other scripts which use $bgclass to alternate (you can search for $bgclass in the style manager), but if you're trying to use it in threadbit then it won't work.

This is the threadbit template on both sites. It looks like it does use the $bgclass in there..

Sure does. What version are you running? I looked at vb 3.8.3 and 3.8.7 PL2 and neither of them look like that. They look close, but just have "alt1" and "alt2" instead of $bgclass.

I'm guessing there was a code change or plugin that goes with the style and is on the original site but not on the new one.

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

There was also a product that needed to be exported/imported along with the style itself to handle that.

Thanks a ton for the help, I'd been banging me head against the desk for hours on this and you just saved me more hours of doing the same.
