Sticky Background Color Change with Rollover Effect

Sticky Background Color Change with Rollover Effect

This mod takes from the following two releases:
Live Wire's Forumhome Mouseover Effect Mod.
Andrew111888's Sticky Background color Mod.

I've taken bits from both and combined them, and take no credit for the original idea of either, save that I'm doing them both. It's my first attempt at a release and should be considered beta until checked out by more experienced Coders than myself.

What it does: Changes the background color of sticky threads, with a mouseover effect:

Time to install: 5 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Templates: 1
CSS Edit: 1
Demo: Here
Tested: IE, Maxthon, Firefox

Updated: 1.0.1: Fixed a bug where it wasn't showing thread preview for non-sticky threads.

ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Threadbit

Find:

<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

Replace with:

<!-- Sticky Rollover Color -->
<if condition="$thread['sticky'] == 1">
	<td class="stickybg" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]" onmouseover="this.className='stickyover';" onmouseout="this.className='stickybg';">
<else />
<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
</if>
<!-- /Sticky Rollover Color -->

ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Style Name -> Main CSS -> Additional CSS Definitions

You will need to add these two declarations:

The normal background color, change #333333 to your desired background color:

.stickybg
{
	background-color: #333333;
}

And the mouseover color, change #444444 to your desired highlight color:

.stickyover
{
         background-color: #444444;
}

Screenshot attached.

Note: This does NOT effect any ajax functionality.

Of note, that mod worked for my forumhome, but for some reason, viewing the forum lists via category view broke the mouseout, so when I rolled the mouse off, the background of the cell would turn black. I seem to be the only person noticing the behavior however.

does this affect the ajax function, where moderator can doubleclick to edit titles? the other thread mentions that this is the case. and i don't like missing that feature.

okie doke, confirmed that this does not affect ajax
cool thanks installed

Thanks.

I'll edit the original post to reflect it - apologies for not answering the question sooner.

Is there a way to make this go across all the columns instead of just the thread title column?

Not that I'm aware of, at least not with my method, since I'm doing it within the cell.
