Alternating rows background

How can the code below:

Sorry, I said Display, didn't I?  I meant MessageIndex.

Find:

Code Select Expand

foreach ($context['topics'] as $topic)
{
echo '
<tr>
<td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" align="center" width="5%">
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/topic/', $topic['class'], '.gif" alt="" />
</td>
<td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" align="center" width="4%">
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/post/', $topic['first_post']['icon'], '.gif" alt="" />
</td>
<td class="windowbg" valign="middle">
', $topic['first_post']['link'];

// Is this topic new? (assuming they are logged in!)
if ($topic['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?topic=', $topic['id'], '.from', $topic['newtime'], '#new"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a>';

echo '
<span class="smalltext">', $topic['pages'], '</span>

Be used in 2.x?  It seems the lines of code are different.

[Arantor]

Considering that that code was posted 5 years ago, long before SMF 2 was considered, you can't. It's different code.

Please keep to the other thread in this board.

[DAB Empire]

The reason there's 2 threads, is because they're 2 pre-existing topics.  I am interested in the alternating row backgrounds in the message index (this thread) and additionally the board index (the other thread).

[Arantor]

Yes I know, but there is no need to keep posting in both, especially because this topic is completely irrelevant to your situation, because it deals specifically and singularly with 1.0/1.1, because it was started 5 years ago.

Thought I'd figure it out on my own than.

Make a backup in case it doesn't work for you.  Worked fine for me by comparing the original mod to the new lines of code.
