UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? modifying row background pattern

I'm trying to come up to speed with UBB.threads as I set up my board, but one issue to which I have found no answer concerns the background color scheme of the board.

The default for a threaded, expanded view of the board is for alternating light and dark background colors. I am preparing to migrate my users over from a board where they had the good sense to differentiate the first post in a thread from replies by using background colors.

Here's a link to the current board so you can see what I'm talking about: ivybasketball.com Message Board

The new board we're setting up using UBB.threads 6.0.3 uses the alternating background colors for rows. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here's a link to the in-progress version of the new board: new UBB.threads board

When I spoke to the UBB.threads salesperson before purchasing, she stated that she believed there was a code modification out there that could accomplish this. However, I have been unable to find this for whatever reason.

Does anyone know of any code that would be able to accomplish this?

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

I don't think there is any templates released that changes the look like that. But to get you started, here is a small code change that fixes the background color:

Find this block of code in postlist.tmpl:

code:

for ($i=0;$i<$postrowsize;$i++) { //UBBTREMARK
echo <<<UBBTPRINT

<tr class="{$postrow[$i]['color']}">

---

And replace it with this:

code:

for ($i=0;$i<$postrowsize;$i++) { //UBBTREMARK
if ($postrow[$i]['indentsize'] == 0) {
   $bgcolor = "darktable";
} else {
   $bgcolor = "lighttable";
}
echo <<<UBBTPRINT

<tr class="{$bgcolor}">

---

Usual disclaimers apply, take backup of everything before you change anything etc.

Thanks so much. That was exactly what I needed.

Regards,

Jake
