Background color of what?

[whitewolf68]

Sorry to be too vague. The green background headers for the sticky and normal threads. Hopefully that makes sense. In your example here on the site they are blue. In my forum they came up green.

[ozzy47]

Not sure I have seen that before, only thing that should change colors is the text.

[whitewolf68]

OK will play around in the XML for some color changes. Thank you.

[ozzy47]

Should you want me to look into it on your site let me know.

[midnz]

Very nice indeed. Thanks very much.

I just wanted to ask/beg for a suggestion you've already replied to as being out of the scope of this mod ... separate closed threads. I currently edit the posting date of closed threads to shift them to the end of forums and I'm okay with continuing to do that. I just wanted to whisper ... +1.

SORTED!

Your readme.txt file is all messed up.

Where am I supposed to upload the contents of the upload folder?

If you wouldn't mind, try adding some line breaks to your readme file so that it's readable.

[Barcham]

The readme file is perfectly readable for me. As for where to upload the contents of the 'upload' folder, simply copy the ozzy47 folder to your forum root directory.

Here is the readme file section that pertains to installation...

Upload all files from the "UPLOAD" folder to your forums directory.

2. Import the product-ozzy_separate_stickies.xml file from the "XML / vB4" folder at AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products ->
Add/Import Product

3. That's it, now you will have separate stick threads from normal threads.

4. You can change the setting for this mod in, ACP / Settings / Options / Ozzy: Separate Sticky Threads Settings.

5. There is two stylevar settings that you can use to change the text color of the text Sticky Threads and Normal Threads. They can be found in your styles under the group Ozzy47Mods.
