Topic: switch the background color of the post in the topic

Hello !

I'm using punbb 1.2 and would like to switch the background color of the posts

i see that it is a variable to do this in the code 

// Switch the background color for every message.
$bg_switch = ($bg_switch) ? $bg_switch = false : $bg_switch = true;
$vtbg = ($bg_switch) ? ' roweven' : ' rowodd';

After that it call the class blockpost + vtbg to display a message

but in the .css i don't know how to activate it with the blockpost class. How can i do this ?

Re: switch the background color of the post in the topic

any ideas ?

sorry for my bad english, perhaps i'm not been understood...

i want to alternate the color of the background to te right party of a post then the color will be switch alternately in two colour

in the viewtopic.php it call the display of a post with :

<div id="p<?php echo $cur_post['id'] ?>" class="blockpost<?php echo $vtbg ?>

so i think that the blockpost class can be separate in two herited class but i dont know to specify the background color of each class in the _cs.css file  (i don't know how to name it)

there is a section to specify the color of the blockpost class 

DIV.blockpost DIV.box, DIV.postright, DIV.postfootright {BACKGROUND-COLOR: #DEDFDF}
DIV.postright, DIV.postfootright {BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: #f1f1f1}*/
DIV.postleft, DIV.postfootleft, DIV.blockpost LABEL {BACKGROUND-COLOR: #B33}

i'm newb in the manipulation of css and i don't know manipulate class correctly...

So what the syntax i have to use to specify the background color of blockpost roweven and blockpost rowodd ?

Thanks a lot for yours answers...

Re: switch the background color of the post in the topic

Try replacing this

DIV.blockpost DIV.box, DIV.postright, DIV.postfootright {BACKGROUND-COLOR: #DEDFDF}

with this

DIV.rowodd DIV.box, DIV.rowodd DIV.postright, DIV.rowodd DIV.postfootright {BACKGROUND-COLOR: whatever}
DIV.roweven DIV.box, DIV.roweven DIV.postright, DIV.roweven DIV.postfootright {BACKGROUND-COLOR: whatever}
