You need to show us the code that's outputting that table, but the basic implimentation is as follows;

 

<?php
$i = 0;
while($this is a while loop I excpect you have) {
if($i%2){
$the_class = " class=\"dif-color\"";
} else {
$the_class = "";
}
$i++
echo "<td$the_class>content</td>";
}

OMG Thank u so much for replying finally..

 

Now do u need the skin_boards.php? or boards.php? file i can send both but here is the output of skin_boards.php this is were i need to change the altnerating tr class...

:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

function ForumRow($info, $subinfo="") {
global $ibforums;
$color_one = 'ce bc1';  
$color_two = 'ce';  
   
$array = array('apple','pine','strawberry',  
                     'pear','banana', 'cranberry','kiwifruit');  
   
$i = 1; 

foreach($array as $value)  
{  
/* 
Check if ($i / 2) is an integer and determine which color to show. 
We will divide the number by 2 
*/  
   
$color = (is_int($i / 2)) ? $color_one : $color_two;
$i++; // Increment $i  
}


return <<<EOF
$color
<tr class="ce">
<td>$image_icon</td>
<td align="left"><b><a href="index.php?showforum={$info['id']}" title="{$info['description']}">{$info['name']}</b></a>{$subinfo} {$info['moderator']}</td>

<td nowrap><span class="desc">Topics:</span> {$info['topics']}<br/><span class="desc">Posts:</span> {$info['posts']}</td>
<td align="left" nowrap class="lc"><span class="desc">{$info['last_post']}</span><br/>» {$info['last_topic']}<br>By {$info['last_poster']}</td>
</tr>

<tr> 

  
EOF;
}

 

Those color_one is all my testing and trying to get it to work sorry.

[gevans]

The quick fix is to change this line;

 

$color = (is_int($i / 2)) ? $color_one : $color_two;

 

to this...

 

$color = ($i % 2) ? $color_one : $color_two;

[Monkuar]

The quick fix is to change this line;

 

$color = (is_int($i / 2)) ? $color_one : $color_two;

 

to this...

 

$color = ($i % 2) ? $color_one : $color_two;

 

 

I changed it , now i have.:

 

 

 

return <<<EOF
<tr class="$color">
<td>$image_icon</td>
<td align="left"><b><a href="index.php?showforum={$info['id']}" title="{$info['description']}">{$info['name']}</b></a>{$subinfo} {$info['moderator']}</td>

<td nowrap><span class="desc">Topics:</span> {$info['topics']}<br/><span class="desc">Posts:</span> {$info['posts']}</td>
<td align="left" nowrap class="lc"><span class="desc">{$info['last_post']}</span><br/>» {$info['last_topic']}<br>By {$info['last_poster']}</td>
</tr>

<tr> 


EOF;
}

 

and the tr just shows up as one color...

 

i need to find the php code and loop it in there or something.. because <tr class="$color">

and $color should atlernate ce, ce bc1, ce, ce bc1 but it's not wtf.. lol

 

 

Please dont give up on me guys, im willing to give you guys much help as possible but it be nice if u had a microphone so we can talk..

[gevans]

OK, I just looked at your code properly. What are you passing to the function? If it's a mysql result I'll need to see the script you're calling it from.

[Monkuar]

Ok hang in there please bro..

 

 

Ok here is the "Render forum row":

}

 

 

Then u see at the bottom it does:

return $this->html->ForumRow($forum_data);

 

The htmll->Forumrow is the code I gave u above. (2more posts above). Hope u can help me sir..

 

 

 

[gevans]

Is the ForumRow function called several times to output the rows into an html table?

[Monkuar]

Nope only once

 

Sir please is it ok if I setup an ftp account for you so u can access my whole forum and script's and see if u can try to fix it sir please?

 

here is something imght help..

 

it get's called 3 times in boards.php tho.:

 

return $this->html->ForumRow($forum_data, $subinfo);

 

 

then

 

 

 

return $this->html->ForumRow($forum_data, $newest, $subinfo); 

 

 

 

return $this->html->ForumRow($forum_data);

 

 

 

[gevans]

If that is the case, just do this.....

 

<?php
function ForumRow($info, $subinfo="") {
   global $ibforums;
   $color_one = 'ce bc1'; 
   $color_two = 'ce'; 
   static $i = 0;
   $color = ($i % 2) ? $color_one : $color_two;
   $i++;

   return <<<EOF
      $color
      <tr class="ce">
      <td>$image_icon</td>
      <td align="left"><b><a href="index.php?showforum={$info['id']}" title="{$info['description']}">{$info['name']}</b></a>{$subinfo} {$info['moderator']}</td>

      <td nowrap><span class="desc">Topics:</span> {$info['topics']}<br/><span class="desc">Posts:</span> {$info['posts']}</td>
      <td align="left" nowrap class="lc"><span class="desc">{$info['last_post']}</span><br/>» {$info['last_topic']}<br>By {$info['last_poster']}</td>
      </tr>
      
      <tr>
EOF;
}

[gevans]

return $this->html->ForumRow($forum_data, $newest, $subinfo);

 

That line should cause an error as the function only accepts two variables
