Custom Thread Titles [library support]

[Boy_Wonder]

Hi wormo - I'm using this code on finalseconds.proboards.com/board/1/general-board to try and give each thread a custom background, in that cell area upon your suggestion however it doesn't appear to be working - as in nothing is showing

[Wormopolis]

You said you completely changed the structure of how the thread titles are displayed. The code doesn't accommodate such massive changes

[Boy_Wonder]

Damnit - okay then (I wasn't sure how it was looking for it - I can copy paste the layout over if you wanted to see if there was any way to adjust it to make it work and keep it all functioning how I want)

it checks each "tr.item.thread" for "span.link.target a" to get thread title. then for background it goes back up to "tr.item.thread" find "td.checkbox" and takes the checkbox out of that cell and pushes it into "td.main". then it hides tf.checkbox and sets td.main to be colspan=2 so that when a background image is applied to it, it spans the entire cell.

xD I'm probably -not- going to be able to adjust the html so it plays how I want because I can't use a tr tag sadly - looks like I'll just have to wait for someone to take the request up

Edit: Or never say never as I'm slowly but surely getting somewhere in a way that would work but keep the effect I'm after I -think-

Or not, tried everything I can think of but nope not able to make the two play nice

[Wormopolis]

yeah if you have rebuilt that entire structure, you are likely going to need something custom written. if I can get something working I will let you know.

just the background or what about the other things that can be done to the title?

[Boy_Wonder]

It's only the background I want - I've brought some of the original classes back but not in a way that I could make the two work - I'll give the code so far (I've tried to set about working on my own code for it but that's slow going I feel achieved at working out how to set a background by jquery xD)

This is the coding as it stands so far
<tr class="item">
   <td class="checkbox">
       <table>
           <tr>
{foreach $[thread]}
       
           <td id="threadlist" class="threadlist">

<div id="$[thread.content_id]">
For the layout template to indicate the classes that have changed - I've found targetting the .threadlist class works well for applying a background image (and that's kinda why I use it) and I've got a CSS based work around for the admin images targetting the thread id once its set

Is there a way to specify that this plugin only affects threads with new posts? I'd like to use this to replace the "*New*" icon that appears near a thread with new posts so if this could do that I'd be set.

[Wormopolis]

Interesting.. I will see if I can make that happen.

bump if it gets too long of a wait

[Former Member]

Really? Thanks Wormo! I appreciate that. ^^ I will if it does. Thank you again.

[Former Member]

Bump.

How are the changes to the plugin going? Any luck yet?

[Wormopolis]

I haven't been able to write for a while. Too many things at work.

[Former Member]

Ohhhh okay. Just checkin'. I know how that goes so I totally understand, and besides there is no rush. I figured out a nice workaround using css for the problem I was having anyway. XD

[Wormopolis]

Working on this today. Im trying to get back up to speed, so if anyone had something they were waiting on, feel free to bump it again

Just what we discussed previously. ^^ I'm still excited to see what you can do.
