Forum Display Enhancements - Threadbit Coloring Based on Thread Status

Threadbit Coloring
thread color threadbit background coloring

What does it do?
This modification will color the threadbit of your threads relative to their status, ie: closed, popular, read, unread. It's my version of the system currently in place here on vBulletin.org.

Installation
1. Upload the attached Product XML file.
2. Follow the instructions in the readme file.
3. Look at the post just below this one for information on customizing the modification.

Screenshots
As I said, this is my take on vB.org's System - so they're fairly similar, but I've attached screenshots because I know people are going to want them anyway.

Donations
As always, this modification is released to you, the community, to do with as you please at no charge - should you, however, feel compelled to donate funds to me - you may click the "Support Author" button on the panel to the right to do so; it's much appreciated.

Execute this SQL Query to Enable this Option for all your Members

UPDATE userfield SET fieldX = 'Yes, enable.'

Note: Remember to add into the SQL Query your Table Prefix if you use one.
Don't forget to Change the X to your Field Number.

Thanks for the useful hack! :up:

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYY

Thanks

On another thought,

Which one i can change the color for Posted ? i can only see color for read, unread, unposted, popular, closed.

Got the color shown up but i have to go to User CP -> Disable -> Enable for it to show.

How can i disable and enable for all of my members.

Thanks

[Kirk Y]

It's the alt1.uposted,alt2.uposted -- it's not unposted; I was just in a hurry and wrote "u" instead of "you".

I'll try and add a feature to globally enable/disable it for all members, but you can enable/disable on a per user basis through the User Options panel.

[Quantnet]

Oh, very nice...thanks
A global disable/enable will save so much time since i can't do it for each member. Is there a way to do for whole via usergroup ?

Another idea is to have the Legend color table at the bottom of the thread home page so members can understand the color. Just like they have on vb.org

I imagine it would be easy ?

[Kirk Y]

Ah, I never noticed that Legend -- yes, I'll definitely add that in.

Do you mean you want a way to Allow/Disallow certain Usergroups from using it?

Thanks.
You mentioned earlier that you will try to find a way to globally enable/disable the features for all members. As I reported earlier, I have to disable, then enable the option before i can see the change. As of right now, I have to do it for each member individually.

Awesome mod.

[Kirk Y]

Updated to v1.01 -- see first post for Upgrade Instructions and Specs.

Quantnet, please see the bottom of the Release Post for an SQL Query to use to Enable the Coloring for all your Members.

[Quantnet]

Thanks very much

The sql is exactly what I need

The new color legend is nice.

I was about to complain that the color didn't show up after i run the SQL but remember about the on/off option.

Look and it was set to off by default . Maybe it should be on by default ?

I'm voting this MOTM.
