I can only show you the board icons. The highlighted board icons and highlighted boards are only available to logged-in members and if there are unread posts. if you want to login, let me know.

Thanks for your response

My confusion is which file do you use

As well I know your not entertaining modding your mod, but this is what I was looking for earlier, however I only wanted sub forums to be highlighted when they where new because the bolding of text wasn't enough.

So with that in mind I'm going to try and figure out what you did and well make it work for myself.

Awesome mod too.

@qayyom
Registration is now open. I'll close it after you register.

This mod conflict with my AvatarOnBoard mod so, I made another package for those who installed the AvatarOnBoard mod.

To highlite only childboards when there are new posts, edit your style.css. Comment-out all the borders td.class' properties except for the td.bottomborder. Then in BoardIndex.template.php, look for the line
<td colspan="3" class="windowbg', !empty($settings['seperate_sticky_lock']) ? '3' : '', empty($modSettings['disable_board_indicator']) ? ($board['new'] || $board['children_new'] ? ' bottomborder' : '') : '', '">

and replace with
<td colspan="3" class="windowbg', !empty($settings['seperate_sticky_lock']) ? '3' : '', empty($modSettings['disable_board_indicator']) ? ($board['children_new'] ? ' bottomborder' : '') : '', '">

Hey I wasn't expecting you to reply with the fix since you said you where not doing any edits. Thanks a lot for the info.

Exactly what I wanted. Thanks a bunch man....

I'm an idiot when it comes to commenting out the lines so I just more or less removed the entries, but it worked non the less. ;)

What I mean by "Edit" is ... I have no more time to edit files like the "BoardIndex.template.php". I am still here to support my mods.

You have to use "/*" and "*/" to comment-out lines from the style.css file. The "//" won't work.

Great mod.  Still have a question though.  Which elements in the css file do I change to make color changes to the highlighted boards?

Thanks so much!
~Cindy

In the default/style.css, find
/*  borders */
td.iconbg
{
border: solid #F9BDE0 1px;
background-color: #EDE7ED;
}
td.topborder
{
border-top: solid #F9BDE0 1px;
background-color: #F8F3F6;
}
td.bottomborder
{
border-bottom: solid #F9BDE0 1px;
background-color: #E8E0E8;
}
td.topbottom
{
border-top: solid #F9BDE0 1px;
border-bottom: solid #F9BDE0 1px;
background-color: #F8F3F6;
}
td.topbottom2
{
border-top: solid #F9BDE0 1px;
border-bottom: solid #F9BDE0 1px;
background-color: #EDE7ED;
}
td.toprightbottom
{
border-top: solid #F9BDE0 1px;
border-right: solid #F9BDE0 1px;
border-bottom: solid #F9BDE0 1px;
background-color: #F8F3F6;
}

another great mod ;)

Thanks ed67 :)

Figures.  Just my luck that the only file that fails you mention.  LOL.  oh well.

@AlreeGator
You are lucky  :P I am still here for support but I have to find time to do any edits.

Where do I upload the images I want to replace as my board icons?

Sorry, I'm a bit slow with this.

this is not comfortable with smf.1.1.9


i want to use with 1.1.9 plz help

@FFSFFS
Upload your images in default/images/board_icons folder.

@Hanzalah
Although it says 1.1.8 compatible, it is also 1.1.9 compatible. I haven't updated the mod yet.

I was wondering if their are any plans to update this mod for 2.0 RC3
