[Release] Alternating Row Colors Instead of Columns

Rather have your rows alternate colors instead of your columns on your forumhome?

No prob.

If you do not wish to replace the entire template, what you should do conceptually is to change any instance of the class=alt1 or class=alt2 to the conditional:

<if condition="$forum['displayorder'] % 2 == 0">class="alt2"<else />class="alt1"</if>

The KEY to this working right is to make sure your forumdisplay orders are set correctly.

I think the alternating colors look alot better this way, nice mod amy! Good to see you here at vBT!

Than you I had help with the mechanics of it from Ed Sullivan last night. Once he told me math was possible in the conditionals, I realized that we are going to be able to have a lot of fun without ever having to install any hacks.

Definently, Template modifying is just as much fun as hacking can be, and easier to save on upgrades. Has all the plus's.

Thanks Amy.

Yes, that does look a whole lot better than the alternating columns, better readibility. Great job Amy, looking forward to seeing more from you.

Indeed, I'm tricking out my forumhome everywhere to make the descriptions half-automated

Supersweet. Gonna try this out once I am awake. Much easier on the eyes.
