Please help: making alternating row background color in threadbit?

[way2xtreme]

Hi

I am trying to set alternating row background color in threadbit. After searing around, I found this:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...=1#post1490421

I altered the code (see below) and tried it to find I am getting only "alt1" from {vb:raw $altclass} .

Maybe there's something else I need to do?

Please help and thank you in advance

<vb:if condition="!isset($altrow)">
<vb:if condition="$altrow = 0"></vb:if>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="++$altrow % 2 == 0">
<vb:if condition="$altclass = 'alt2'"></vb:if>
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$altclass = 'alt1'"></vb:if>
</vb:if>

...{vb:raw $altclass}

Hmmm, haven't really tried anything like that in vB4, but did you try either preregistering the variable or creating one in an array that is already registered? ($post['altclass'] ?)

Thanks Lynne

I don't really know how to do that. Do I just replace $altclass with $post['altclass'] ?

<vb:if condition="!isset($altrow)">
<vb:if condition="$altrow = 0"></vb:if>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="++$altrow % 2 == 0">
<vb:if condition="$post['altclass']  = 'alt2'"></vb:if>
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$post['altclass'] = 'alt1'"></vb:if>
</vb:if>

then put class=" {vb:raw $post['altclass'] } "

Try it and see. (You forgot the ones in the top four rows.)

Why dont you use nth-child css selector?

Does that work for all browsers? I know some pseudo classes are wonky with some browsers.

Does not work with all browser. It works for lastest versions of browser. But not for IE, maybe in IE 9.

Hi Lynne,

I just put this before threadbit now. I am getting only "alt1" for {vb:raw $post['altclass'] } in every row..

Thanks

<vb:if condition="!isset($post['altrow'] )">
<vb:if condition="$post['altrow']  = 0"></vb:if>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="++$post['altrow']  % 2 == 0">
<vb:if condition="$post['altclass']  = 'alt2'"></vb:if>
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$post['altclass'] = 'alt1'"></vb:if>
</vb:if>

For some reason, I thought you were talking about the postbit...argh! $post is not a variable available in the threadbit template. You can try $thread instead of $post. Sorry about that. And, I'm assuming you define alt1 and alt2 somewhere.

Hi Lynne,

Thanks for the help.

I put the following code before threadbit and I am still getting only "alt1" from {vb:raw $thread['altclass'] }...

Anything else I can try?

WC

<vb:if condition="!isset($thread['altrow'] )">
<vb:if condition="$thread['altrow']  = 0"></vb:if>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="++$thread['altrow']  % 2 == 0">
<vb:if condition="$thread['altclass']  = 'alt2'"></vb:if>
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$thread['altclass'] = 'alt1'"></vb:if>
</vb:if>
