I desperately want this MOD but i am afraid to edit all the files as it take huge amount of time.
Actually this is not a very hard task at all with a program like Cute FTP.
1. I simply uploaded the MODEL-admin_config_colors.asp and renamed it as admin_congig_colors.asp (and I am heavily mod'ed)
2. The MODEL_config.asp was cleared coded so I just cut and pasted to my config.asp
3. I opened ALL my source *.ASP files in Cute FTP at one time
3. I did a "find and replace" with the first suggested replacement(s) and cute FTP did all the asp files at once.
4. I did the second "find and replace" with the next suggested replacement(s) and I was done!
BTW I tried this mod several time until I figured out how to use Cute FTP to do it and it was pretty tedious.
Hope this helps,
Shep

(UPDATE)
Hello Mark,
Well...
1) now it seems that I got the HeadCells showing the colorstripe.gif but not the CategoryCells.
2) also in my admin_colors page I can see the colorstripe.gif for the HeadCells and for the CategoryCells but I can NOT see the colors for other cells. I just see a green empty table all along the right side.
:-)

I seem to be missing a gif called icon_color.gif
Is it supposed to be included in the mod - or is it supposed to already be on the system. Anyway I don't have it can someone make it availabel to me?
Thanks,
Shep
That is a gif file from another mod, the popup color mod. That mod pops up a color chart when you click on the gif image. I did not write that mod, but you can download it from this forum. If you don't want to bother with that mod, you can just create a blank/transparent gif file (make it 16x16 pixels or so) and name it icon_color.gif.

Since there are any number of add-on mods out there, you will need to go into the mod's source code and determine how to best adjust the source to include the background= into their cell headers etc. For the most part the Snitz forum source code is consistent in the way it codes the headers etc., but for each individual mod out there you will need to do a little analysis to incorporate the background=. If you can't find the location where this should be done you might want to contact the mod (is it the Links Manager mod?) author and ask for some direction.

I looked at your admin_config_colors.asp and found the problem. It lacks the definition of the last column to display all the colors. Except for the 2 image cell displays, all the other cells have not yet been defined.
This is a little confusing I know, so let me backtrack a bit. A while back I updated my own admin_config_colors.asp to display all of the currently used colors in an additional display column so that I could always see what the currently used color setting looked like. I posted this updated form in a separate posting on Snitz.
When I wrote the background cell images mod I used this updated form. So you will need to use this updated form as well if you want to see the colors used for each setting.
The good news is that all that needs to happen is to COPY my form from the admin_config_colors.asp and REPLACE your current form with mine.
Note1: You may not have the popup color mod installed on your system and therefore may not have the icon_color.gif file. If this is the case, just create a blank/transparent gif file (try about 16 x 16 pixels) and name it icon_color.gif and you should be all set.
Note2: In my system I placed all images in an "images" directory so if you have all your images in your main forum directory, do a REPLACE ALL of "images\" to just "\" to eliminate the "images" prefix.

Folks have found this confusing since it is actually part of the color popup mod. If you do not have the color popup mod installed, you can simply delete the icon_color.gif (which will also delete the associated hyperlink) from the form.
I have updated the docs in the download as well for any future users.

Have you run the "check installation" from the main admin features panel? This updates the forum variables.
