Hi,
I am playing with the listpage.php and wish to insert my own function which will ultimatley determine what 'class' applies to a row - currently set as shade in the CSS file Style.
I have.....
function newcolor()

{
....work out some values here then decide on what 'css code to use'....
$addnewcolor= "class='newshade'"; // to replace .shade CSS

return $addnewcolor; // I want to return this string, tried global not working??
}
Then around line 1800........................
$row = array();

if(!$this->isVerLayout)

{

$row["rowattrs"] = "";

if(! $shade)

{
$this->newcolor(); // call the new color function
$row["rowattrs"] .= $addnewshade; // concantenate the relevent CSS as this loops... $shade = true;

}

else

$shade = false;
The idea here is to set the 'background' of the row to a specific color whilst retaining the mouseover effects.
Currently I am unable to return the value as error reads 'undefined variable'.
Have tried making the sting global but this does not work.
Of course could return a numeric value not just a string, makes little odds really as I can concantenate either..........
Any ideas welcome.............probably a case of can't see the wood for the trees!
Thanks in advance....

Thanks Cristian,
Aware of these events but you lose the CSS highlight bar. I have approached this before as an "issue" and

was advised cant be done without custom codeing. Ultimatley we add a CSS style to each row. Tested this works fine. Now need to compile programatically so to speak.

Can you show me an online demo example of what you want to do?

Sure


Hi Cristian,
Hopefully this makes sense.
Its a tough ask but definatley 'doable'.
To confrim, the result would be that each row has an assocsiated color according to status, which has

s to be done at this level(?) to retain the highlighting bar as you move the mouse over the list.
We then with the addition of a little jave have an entireley clicakable row.


Thanks in advance

In the "List page: after record processed" event of the list page, enter the following code:



if(your condition)

$row["rowstyle"]='style="background:red;"';


In the "Javascript onload" event of the list page enter the following code:

$("tr[id^='gridRow']").hover(function(){

$(this).children().addClass('highlight');

},function(){

$(this).children().removeClass('highlight');

});


"highlight" is a css class declared as follows:

<style type="text/css">

.highlight {

background-color: yellow !important;

}

</style>
