Description and Message
Hey all

I want to change the background color of the forum when there is a new reply in that forum.

I had it earlier but don't remember how to fix it

Forumlist_body.html (line 32)

Code: Select all

		<li class="row"<!-- IF forumrow.S_UNREAD_FORUM --> style="background-color: #aaffff"<!-- ENDIF -->>

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Or go all out and use this in the forumlist_body

Code: Select all

		<li class="row<!-- IF forumrow.S_UNREAD_FORUM --> row2<!-- ENDIF -->">

And add this in the coulours.css

Code: Select all

.row2 {
	background-color: #aaffff;
}

forumlist_body.html (line 32)

Code: Select all

		<li class="row"<!-- IF forumrow.S_UNREAD_FORUM --> style="background-color: #aaffff"<!-- ENDIF -->>

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Or go all out and use this in the forumlist_body

Code: Select all

		<li class="row<!-- IF forumrow.S_UNREAD_FORUM --> row2<!-- ENDIF -->">

And add this in the coulours.css

Code: Select all

.row2 {
	background-color: #aaffff;
}

Is the second part correct??

Code: Select all

		<li class="row<!-- IF forumrow.S_UNREAD_FORUM --> row2<!-- ENDIF -->">

[Sniper_E]

Yes it is correct. But you can name that class whatever you want... like this below, just add that new class in the .css

forumlist_body.html (line 32)

Code: Select all

		<li class="row<!-- IF forumrow.S_UNREAD_FORUM --> newpost<!-- ENDIF -->">

And add this in the coulours.css

Code: Select all

.newpost {
	background-color: #aaffff;
}

Does that help you understand it? Or like that first edit... use the style="background-color: #aaffff" in the template and be done.

I have changed it like you said but I don't see it

Did I do something wrong
I feel myself dumb

Have I done something wrong myself then?

[Sniper_E]

Your code looks right

Code: Select all

	<!-- IF not forumrow.S_IS_CAT -->
		<!-- EVENT forumlist_body_forum_row_before -->
		<li class="row<!-- IF forumrow.S_UNREAD_FORUM --> newpost<!-- ENDIF -->">

But in your stylesheet use the li

Code: Select all

li.newpost {
	background-color: #aaffff;
}

Remember to clear server cache and you should be good.

If you still have problems use the !important in your css

Code: Select all

li.newpost {
	background-color: #aaffff !important;
}

[TWEagle]

I have done it with the important but no difference

:S

I don't understand it

[Sniper_E]

Maybe someone needs to make a post or a reply in a topic that you have not read. Are you not waiting for a new post.

[TWEagle]

I have a test topic where I have logged in with another account

[Sniper_E]

Are you refreshing your browser to see the change?
Is cssmagic controlling the background color using !important?
Disable magic to check that.
Do you have another extension controlling that background?
Are you editing the wrong files?
You need to find out what's going on on your end because the codes are solid.

Magic is not going to make the background work. Did you get that working?
