 >:( Can't get this to work -



echo ' <tr class=', $message['alternate'] == 0 ? 'windowbg' : 'windowbg2' ,'>';



Where does $message['alternate'] come from?

From Sources/Display.php::prepareDisplayContext()

'alternate' => $counter % 2,

Its just a shortcut to get a series of 0 and 1 for every message been displayed. $counter been the number assigned to the message while been retrieved.

 
Am modifying the comment section of a gallery mod, so it doesn't connect to /Sources/Display.php.  Guess I'll use yet another workaround -



if ($message['alternate'] == 0)
$message['alternate'] = 1;
elseif ($message['alternate'] == 1)
$message['alternate'] = 0;



 

It really depends on what you're going to do, I just answered your question.

There are multiple ways to get an alternative, the simpliest and easiest would be to add your own $counter var.

Assuming you have an array of messages:

$myOwnCounter = 0;

foreach ($myMessages as $message)
{
    $myOwnCounter++;

    $cssBacjground= ($myOwnCounter % 2 == 0) ?  'white': 'black';

// Use $cssBackground

}

Just trying to alternate the bg between windowbg and windowbg2, as in display template.  It currently has this -



echo '<tr class="windowbg">';



Will tinker with your counter code.  Thanks.
