[Release] Alternating Row Colors Instead of Columns

Rather have your rows alternate colors instead of your columns on your forumhome?

No prob.

If you do not wish to replace the entire template, what you should do conceptually is to change any instance of the class=alt1 or class=alt2 to the conditional:

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

The KEY to this working right is to make sure your forumdisplay orders are set correctly.

I want it for gamma too! Should I just use <if> statements and replace everything on my own?

Doesn't the code in the first post work on gamma? Did you try?

Nope it messes up the tables

Since gamma changed the tables around, it does mess them up

If you could that would be great. I think the alternating horizontal colors would be most useful in the threadview

stoped working after it was first released

I got this to work in 3.0.7 by making one change:

in the replaced version of the "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" template:

img src="$stylevar[imagesfolder]/$forum[onoff].gif" alt="$forum[onoff].gif

should be:

img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="$forum[onoff].gif"

I am attaching the entire revamped forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template.

NOTE: There is still a forum status icon and last column layout placement issue, but the alternating rows are working. See attached screenshots.
