XF 1.5 Watched Forums list - in each <li> how toinclude the top category node_id or all the parent node_ids

[Stuart Wright]

Hi folks,
I style our forum list so that (when there are unread posts) each forum adopts the colour of it's top level parent category for a font awesome folder icon.
https://www.avforums.com/forums/
This is nice for differentiating each category throughout the forums.
I do it using styling of the top level parent categoriy node IDs:
For example the blue of our home entertainment category:

.node_495 .nodeList li .unread .nodeText .nodeTitle a:before {color: @avfHomeEnt;}

But it doesn't work for the Watched Forums page because the parent category node_id is not included in the styling anywhere in the node_forum_level_2 template
It's this line I'm referring to

<li class="node forum level_{$level} {xen:if '{$level} == 1 AND !{$renderedChildren}', 'groupNoChildren'} node_{$forum.node_id}">

specifically before node_{$forum.node_id} I need to ideally add the top level category of the forum or failing that, all the parent nodes in order.

How hard would that be?
Thanks.

Unfortunately it's likely not possible without custom development.

The best you will get is {$forum.parent_node_id} which might be the top level category ID depending on how the node tree is laid out.

Ok, thanks for the reply, Chris.
