Alternating Colored Rows in vBulletin 4 [No Plugin]
 
How to have alternating colored rows (and not columns) in vBulletin 4. After searching around, I found one by William, Very nice work. His solution is for vBulletin 3 but it can be easily ported to vBulletin 4. As I searched, I saw the problem is talked a lot in forums without any solution for vBulletin 4 and so I decided to put together a solution extending William's work.

1. Edit template forumhome_forumbit_level2_post



Add the following code at the top of the template.

Code:
<vb:if condition="$altrow =& $GLOBALS['altrow']"></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="!isset($altrow)">
    <vb:if condition="$altrow = 0"></vb:if>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="++$altrow % 2 == 0">
    <vb:if condition="$rowClass = 'alteven'"></vb:if>
<vb:else />
    <vb:if condition="$rowClass = 'altodd'"></vb:if>
</vb:if>
Credit for the above code goes to William and forumthemes.

Now change the first line (first line before inserting the above code) from

Code:
<li id="forum{vb:raw forum.forumid}" class="forumbit_post L2">
to
Code:
<li id="forum{vb:raw forum.forumid}" class="forumbit_post L2 {vb:raw $rowClass}">

2. Edit forumhome_forumbit_level1_post / _nopost



Add the following at the top of forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template.

Code:
<vb:if condition="$altrow =& $GLOBALS['altrow']"></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$altrow = 0"></vb:if>

3. Edit Stylevars



Edit forumrow_firstentry_background and forumrow_background stylevars and make it transparent by deleting Background Color and Background Image.

4.Edit CSS



Now add the following CSS in the additional.css template.

Code:
.altodd {background-color:#eee;}
.alteven {background-color:#fff;}
You can customize the above CSS as per your needs.

I hope this helps fellow vBulletin forum webmasters.

I have just followed your instuctions above , the forumhome is working great however when i click a forum category which has sub forums those subforums are not styled in the same way, is there more code that i have to add to the forumdisplay template ?

sub forums will work if they are at level1 but if you have them as level 2 then you may need to edit those templates. Also you can make the same logic even applied to showthread.

I do not suppose you could tell me how to get the level 2 working and the showthread too ? I seem to be going around in circles when i edit certain templates.

So far i have edited what you have mentioned above :

forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost

forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost not forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost

Re: Alternating Colored Rows in vBulletin 4 [No Plugin]
 
For having alternating colors for your threads add the following code at the top of the threadbit template.
Code:
<vb:if condition="$altrow =& $GLOBALS['altrow']"></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="!isset($altrow)">
    <vb:if condition="$altrow = 0"></vb:if>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="++$altrow % 2 == 0">
    <vb:if condition="$rowClass = 'alteven'"></vb:if>
<vb:else />
    <vb:if condition="$rowClass = 'altodd'"></vb:if>
</vb:if>
And then edit the first line of the code as follows.
Change
Code:
<li class="threadbit {vb:raw thread.statusstring}
to
Code:
<li class="threadbit {vb:raw $rowClass} {vb:raw thread.statusstring}

Re: Alternating Colored Rows in vBulletin 4 [No Plugin]
 
Your forum has no post and we have not done the changes for forums that don't have posts in it. Try adding one post into that sub forum and then see if it works.

Also I see only one sub forum and for alternating color make them two sub forums

Adam H 2May2011 20:10
Re: Alternating Colored Rows in vBulletin 4 [No Plugin]
 
I have just added posts and added more subforums but its still the same :

Unfortunately not, The forum is being worked on a local machine , not on a server which is online. Its all on vb 4.1.3 on the default fresh install of vbulletin. No edits or mods installed.

Probably I cannot help because the same changes done to my fresh vB 4.1.3 worked fine. Also I did the threadbit modification and gave you the instructions. I also don't use vB 4.1.3 online.

Thanks for the help though. Much appreciated.

It is working for forum display but for threadbits it is not meant to work but only for forums and not for threads. If you want that refer this post

It is adding the class to the li and you have to be adding the right CSS as well.
