Different Cell Color for Stickies · **Released**: 08-13-2006

What this modification does is change the td cell background color for a sticky thread when viewing a thread listing.

Please note the screenshots are from my 3.0.x release as there's no reason to make new ones.

Versions:
3.6.0
3.5.0
3.0.0

Neat, I have a slightly different use for this utilizing your code. I want unanswered topics to be highlighted, so I changed

Code:

<if condition="$thread['sticky'] == 1">

to

Code:

<if condition="$thread[replycount] == 0">

And walla!

Thanks, installed.

I am running 3.6 Gold and I tried following your attached instructions by looking for the following line in the threadbit:

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

and it's not found. Can somebody tell me which string of text to find, if 3.6 gold differs from previous versions?

thanks

I have just confirmed that with a default 3.6.0 gold template, that line is indeed in the threadbit template.

Perhaps your template is out of version?

Hmm, I guess I must have been looking at the wrong template , because I found it! This was a quick easy one.

Thanks *clicks install*

I realy liked the Idea from ericgtr

I modified it a little further.

2 options:

1) Highlight only 0 reply threads but no stickies (that is my choice)

Code:

<if condition="$thread[replycount] != 0">
	  <td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
	 <else />
	  <if condition="$thread['sticky'] == 1 AND $thread[replycount] == 0">
	   <td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
    <else />
     <td class="zeroreplybg" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
    </if>
   </if>

and for the css

Code:

.zeroreplybg
{
	background-color: #ebf0d2;
	color: #000000;
}

2) highlight both (same colors)

Code:

<if condition="$thread[replycount] == 0 OR $thread['sticky'] == 1">
     <td class="stickybg" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
	  <else />
	   <td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
    </if>

and for the css

Code:

.stickybg
{
	background-color: #ebf0d2;
	color: #000000;
}

Thx *install*
