Alternate row colors

[hexonxonx]

Hi

I have searched and searched and can't find the alternationg row colors mod here anywhere, or at least one that will work with 2.3.2. Can anyone provide the code for this? I don't want the colors to alterate for the colums, just the rows for forumhome and showthreads,

Thanks!

It needs hacking - you can't do it just in templates (AFAIK) - needs 4 lines of code I think. So moved to hack requests

You can do it quite simply for Forumdisplay like this:

Find in forumdisplay.php:

  while ($thread=$DB_site->fetch_array($threads)) { // and $counter++<$perpage) {

Right after that, add:

  	  if($oror++ % 2 == 0)
	  {
	  	$tread[color] = "{secondaltcolor}";
	  }
	  else
	  {
	  	$tread[color] = "{firstaltcolor}";
	  }

And thats that. Then just add bgcolor="$tread[color]" to table cells in the template you want. You can also rename the variables "$oror" and $tread[color] to whatever you want.

And, if you're clever, you can also add the same thingy to what ever loop that lists threads, topics, posts etc.

I don't know much about PHP code - I'm trying to figure out how to alternate the colors for each POST, not for each column. Any way to alter this code to accomplish that?
