PhpBB

[GreyFaerie]

I got the PhpBB forum for my site. I went to another site that also uses PhpBB, but they have an add-on where when your mouse hovers over the forum topics it highlights them. Does anyone know how i can do this? I went to phpbb.com and i cant find it anywhere. the site where i saw this feature is http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/

Well I have had experiance with PHPBB and I could do it but it would come at a price. The thing you wanna do would take extensive work to accoplish with PHPBB because you have to edit many files in your themes folder to make it work! The price is not very high though. Maybe $10 at most. If you cannot afford that I would be willing to work out some sort of deal! :D

i know how to edit templates and all that... and even though your offer is tempting ill have to decline. there is no wya you can just tell me how to do it or direct me to a site that shows how?

I cannot direct you to any toutorials because there are none that I know of. What they did on that forum you posted a link to was a toatally custom job. They must have sombody working for them that is experianced with PHPBB. You might try posting on that forum asking them how they did it! :)

Maybe there's a mod that does just that... http://www.phpbb.com/mods/

alright... i know how to do it now

<td bgcolor="#yourbgcolor" onMouseOver=this.style.backgroundColor="#your hylight color" onMouseOut=this.style.backgroundColor="#yourbgcolor" onclick="window.location.href="viewforum.php?f=19&amp;sid=4d1c603cfe118cbe9770ae564d1623cb">

now i just need to figure out where to put it... and i know that the page that i sent was a custom job. I customized mine as well http://www.playingwithfaeries.com/forum

thanks for your help!

I don't think thats quite right-your link has a session ID already on the end. Maybe you need to append_sid() to put the user's session id on it.

Anyways, go to http://phpbbhacks.com , MUCH better mods + hacks than the official site. If you ask at their forums, I'm sure someone will know within a couple days.

Took a real quick look at the site that brendandonhue linked to, and it looks like this is what you need: http://phpbbhacks.com/viewhack.php?id=279
