Anncouncement Background Color

[optrex]

The best way to make your forum announcements stand out is to change the color of the background.

This template adjustment, hard codes the change to your template, making it more efficient when loading the page.

Note: Background colours may need to be different, depending on the style colour you are using. You can achieve this by modifiying the template in each style.

Open "threadbit announcement" from within the threadbit templates.

Find:


Code:
---------------

replace class="alt2" with:

where FFFFFF is equal to the html color code you wish to use.

I like this, but wouldn't it be better do with CSS?

[optrex]

Yes you could use CSS, its easy enough to do. Just change the code as needed.

I can't see anyway of doing this for stickies atm, but I have a mod on which uses different templates. I'll try and have another look if I get time.

Princeton done this modifications.

Can you make it so that the staff "user" can specify what color the want their sticky's to be like red blue green? Sticky/annoucement.

Yes you are correct. Princeton has made a similar hack to this, however, it has some subtle differences and was made over 5 months after this one. You can find it here http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=149780

Priceton is a good man and I have some of his hacks installed on my site, but I do object to you coming on here trying to make out I've ripped him off.

It would require a lot more coding as the inline moderation would need to have multiple sticky choices. It could be done by copying the phrases and templates to create a sticky 1, sticky 2, sticky 3 then having a colour for each one. But I'm not sure how practical it would be.

You might have better results using something like global threads instead with a different colour prefix, but then I would wait for 3.7 to go to GOLD before looking into that, as the new prefix system could do it all for you anyway.

is this mod safe to use with 3.8.4 ?
