Hi Softinfo,

i think it is possible to write a small php script to use the forum-id or the forum-name as css class.

From the standard theme:

Here you can add the new class. Then you can use the CSS class analogous to the standard class “alt”.

Hi softinfo,

give me a few hours – i’ll post an example.

Which template do you use?

Ok – here is a small “solution”

For a specific forum you can use this code.

Put this in the front-page-php:

id="forum_<?php echo get_forum_id()?>"

_________________________________

Here is the example with the standard theme kakumei

<table id="forumlist">

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘Main Theme’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Topics’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>

<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) : ?>

<tr<?php bb_forum_class(‘bb-category’); ?> id=”forum_<?php echo get_forum_id()?>”>

<td colspan=”3″><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘<div class=”nest”>’ ); ?>“><?php forum_name(); ?><?php forum_description( array( ‘before’ => ‘<small> – ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</small>’ ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘</div>’ ); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php continue; endif; ?>

<tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?> id=”forum_<?php echo get_forum_id()?>>

<td><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘<div class=”nest”>’ ); ?>“><?php forum_name(); ?><?php forum_description( array( ‘before’ => ‘<small> – ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</small>’ ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘</div>’ ); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</table>

<?php endif; // bb_forums() ?>

So you can style with CSS the background and the font-color.

eg. #forum_1 {background-color: #ddd; color: #333}

Zaerl, you must have , if you are listening to me.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15741404/za-highlight.php

Change the 4 global vars:

$za_highlight_topics = array();

$za_highlight_topic_class = ”;

$za_highlight_forums = array();

$za_highlight_forum_class = ”;

according to your needs. I do not provide support for this plugin.

For specific topics and post you can use:

get_topic_id();

post_id();

Here you’ll find the incomplete documentation:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/template-tags

But I think for posts and topics there must be another, better solution. No one wants to write their own CSS definition for each ID.

Maybe it is better to use a term from the tagging to create the unique look of some Posts.

Hi Zaerl,

I see – your plugin is a better and bigger way to highlight many topics and forums.

You hang your code to the filter topic_class. The perfect solution.

@softinfo: You must use <?php bb_forum_class(); ?> in your custom theme.

Here is one solution described for all keymasters and admins:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/different-style-for-key-master-and-administrator-replies-1

For admins you can also do something like this:

<?php if( is_bb_admin() ) { ?> class="highlight"<?php } ?>

For individual classes for author post you can use

class="highlight_<?php post_author_id();?>"

There are always different ways to achieve an objective. It is only a question of whether the target should be achieved easily, quickly or safely.
