Hi, all

This is my first writing to this list...

I currenty need to display a list of items with a background color that
shows the status of
the item ("ok"... "not ok"... "late"... "corrected"... and things like
that).

Is there a "classic" way to do that in phpGW ? the alternate_row_color
of the "netxtmatchs" class seems only
to allow to swich between two colors... and i need something a little
bit more "flexible"...

    

not really, just set the color in td tags or use css and set the style according to
your status.
  

I'd prefer to use the templates and theme...

what about the following idea ?

in nextmatchs class : change alternate_row_color and template_alternate_row_color :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/*********************************************************************************************/
        function alternate_row_color($tr_color = '', $rowstatus='')
        {

            global $tr_color;                        /* useless now but important to avoid changing existing calls to the method */
            global $row_light;
            global $row_status;

            if ( !$rowlight )
            {
                $rowlight = $row_light;
            }

            if ( $rowstatus )
            {
                $rowstatus.='_';
            }
            elseif ( $row_status != '')
            {
                $rowstatus=$row_status.'_';
            }

            if ( $rowlight == 'row_on' )
            {
                $rowlight = 'row_off';
            }
            else
            {
                $rowlight = 'row_on';
            }

            $row_light=$rowlight;

            $tr_color = $GLOBALS['phpgw_info']['theme'][$rowstatus.$rowlight];

            return $tr_color;
        }

        function template_alternate_row_color(&$tpl, $rowstatus='')
        {
            if ( $rowstatus )
            {
                global $row_status;
                $row_status = $rowstatus;
            }

            $tpl->set_var('tr_color',$this->alternate_row_color());
        }
/*********************************************************************************************/

in theme files add lines like this :
--------------------------------------------

    $phpgw_info['theme']['status1_row_on']      = '#color1light';
    $phpgw_info['theme']['status1_row_off']     = '#color1dark';

and in ui class :
--------------------

write $tr_color = $this->nextmatchs->alternate_row_color($tr_color, $status );
instead of $tr_color = $this->nextmatchs->alternate_row_color($tr_color);


and $this->nextmatchs->template_alternate_row_color(&$this->t, $status);
instead of $this->nextmatchs->template_alternate_row_color(&$this->t);

the result :
--------------

nothing is gonna change is status isn't given...
and if it is given, the background color is set up accordingly...
the highlighting of the background is now independant of the color itself

Nota : i should check that the right line exists in theme file...

good idea ? or stupid one ? plz feel right to give comments.
