I have both options checked on (Highlight post and Highlight PM).




Attached is a screenshot of my test post.

Anything else needed just say.

Also I am not sure if the edited version of default does anything? I just changed some images. Nothing else.

It should work fine with the default theme, especially if there were no template edit errors when you installed it.

Are you getting any related errors in your error log?
Forum Error Log

Also, did you put '#FF0000' or 'FF0000'? The first value would not have saved properly.

[Josh-]

I put #FF0000 in my Administrator value. I left my First and Second values blank.

I have no errors related to the Mod in the log.

[Nathaniel]

Well, this should be an issue. But do you have the 'Highlight Post Backgrounds?' setting ticked for that board? You can change it when you modify a board.

If that isn't the issue then something must be going wrong with the template edits, so can you post your 'Display.template.php' file?

[Josh-]

I checked the board I am using for the test and the checkbox it checked.

Attached the file.

[Nathaniel]

There don't appear to be any errors with that file. Can you post your 'Display.php' file? The issue may be there.

Also, can you check to see if the PM highlighting is working, and if the highlighting will work for any other membergroups?

[Josh-]

I made a new account and made it GM and that didn't work either.

PM highlight does not work.

I can't find a display.php file in my default folder.

[Nathaniel]

It should be located in your 'sources' folder ('/sources/Display.php').

[Josh-]

Here. Thought it was in themes sorry :p.

[Nathaniel]

Okay, I can't find any errors with that file either. The only other file that I could imagine could be having errors is the 'Load.php' file. Although it should be working fine if you didn't have any install errors.

[Josh-]

Nope no install errors... :\.

[Nathaniel]

Can you post your 'Load.php' file? That is the last place that could be having errors.

Also, is your default theme with edits separate to the normal default theme as a 'duplicate'? Or is it in the 'default' folder?

[Josh-]

My edited version (i change only 2 images) is on the original "default" folder.

Load.php attached.

[Nathaniel]

@Josh-,
I can't find any issues with that file either. Can you try to uninstall and then reinstall the mod to see if that makes it work?

Note to All:

Version 1.11:
Updated for SMF 1.1.6 and SMF 2 Beta 4.

[Mr_Lon]

  I had Highlight Message Backgrounds 1.11 up and working fine but goofed it up somehow? I updated to v1.1.6 and had some problems with a couple Php scripts and now it's not working. I see that:

• Sources/load.php is not right
• Themes/Display.tenplate.php is not right
• I see that "Highlight Message Backgrounds 1.11" is installed but get this (This package was either never installed or was already uninstalled - you can't uninstall it now.) message when I try to uninstall and relinstall?

I must have goofed something else up too........

Any HELP PLEASE

Lon

@Mr_Lon,
Well , the most sensible solution would be to either manually uninstall the mod or overwrite all of your files with clean versions (this is a bad option because it would uninstall all mods - although it might fix any other issues you have).

If you want to uninstall the mod manually:
1) You can use the  'Manual Install Instructions for SMF' function to get a list of edits that this mod makes, and then you can perform the reverse, so that you remove all of the mods code.
2) I should be able to remove it for you if you all the files listed by the mod site with that function.

If you want to overwrite all your forum files:
You should extract the contents of the 'Large upgrade' for SMF 1.1.6 into your SMF directory, using FTP.

how can i make it work for a different theme... the theme i want to use is  hxxp:murpo.com/design/index.php [nonactive]

[Nathaniel]

Can you post your '/Themes/{themename}/Display.template.php' and '/Themes/{themename}/PersonalMessage.template.php' files?

[isaacd93]

i dont have a personalmessage.template.php file theres the display one

[Paracelsus]

Nice Mod.

- Is it possible to restrict its use by board(s)?
- Could it be possible to remove highlight feature from topic starting posts?
