Excellent.
I needed this.
Is there a way to do this on the messageindex.php file too? I applied it in the same way but nothing happened.
For the child boards or the display of the topics? I was working on a find and replace tutorial for the topic listing but then realized you might have meant the child boards.
No, I meant the displaying of topics. You had it right. :) I've been toying with the code for a while and just haven't been able to make it work.
I'm not getting this clearly.
can anyone explain it via demo?
sry
What's the first thing you don't understand? Do you know how to modify files? How do I modify files? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=24110.0)
fuddes, if you see this, would you still like help with this?

No I meant like what exactly "Alternating rows background " means
It will have it so that colors alternate with each row of boards shown.
Example:
---------------
Board Name (Blue)
---------------
Board Name (Green)
---------------
Board Name (Blue)
---------------
Board Name (Green)
Currently it alternates with column.
oh thanks... will give it a try
good work
Were you able to get everything working as you like?
Looks like SMF 2.x has different code. How can I add this to 2.x?
Note that it will be theme dependent - your theme may have a custom BoardIndex.template.php - please post it here so we can look at it.
It is just the default template.
For the default template in RC1.2 (and note it'll be different in RC2): - just to alternate the main board background
// Assuming the category hasn't been collapsed...

The code above worked... a little. Had some columns that weren't included in the color changes. It helped me understand what to change though. Thanks. Here is the updated version.

I just changed the code from the opening post - and I did say it was linked to the main board background, not to any of the other columns.
I'd duplicate the default theme, named "whatevername", but it doesn't contain any BoardIndex.template.php file to modify it. Any help with this?

Copy the file from Themes/default to your theme. Basically what happens is that SMF will reuse files from the default theme if they're not present in a custom one.
does it work in the latest release?
