Personal Stickys

[Mephisteus]

Hack name: Personal Stickys
Version: 1.0.3b

Yay great stuff, installed on www.vBulletin-Fans.com :)

Yay great stuff, installed on www.vBulletin-Fans.com :)

Many thanks. A brilliant idea.

[rb290]

can you choose which usergroups can sticky ?

[michaelbenson]

Thanks for this, looks really great!
/me installs.

[Developer]

wow great hack i liked it installed

[Chris M]

Heh you got there first, sorta - Similar to my "Tagged Threads" but not :)

More similar to Tagged Threads v2 :p

Anywho, looks nice :)

Chris

[Snake]

Interesting!

[Elmer]

awesome! just what I was lookin :)

[FleaBag]

Yeah nice little addition. Will install when I get home for upload access. :)

[Oblivion Knight]

Consider this installed, fantastic idea.. :classic:

[icemann]

I like it as well, thank you. :)

I was connected to VNC helping Meph, watching how he wrote it. Neither he or I even knew you had a similar resource already posted somewhere.

[Mephisteus]

UserCP? Thats odd, my product doesnt do anything related to usercp.php. Does the error disappear if you uninstall it my hack?

[croportal]

i will now go to uninstal your product and tell you

[croportal]

i have disable your product and now its okay, when i go disable again i have warning in usercp

[croportal]

but now i have warning in showthread Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /showthread.php(1907) : eval()'d code on line 357

[croportal]

i have edit all templates in first condition and now works all okay, i have 3.5 version. i dont know whats wrong

[croportal]

when i go to edit last template i have delete that in threadbit <if condition="$personalsticky"> <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/mystickypin.gif" alt="$vbphrase[sticky_thread]" /> </if>

and error appear The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/hrportal/public_html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3519) : eval()'d code on line 80

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

[Mephisteus]

I honestly dont understand what you are saying. However, it has been tested on other boards and it worked with success. My gues is its conflicting with another hack. On the info I have I cannot even begin figuring out any problems.

i have install your products and edit the templates, and in usercp i have erros.

when i go to uninstall your product i get error in showthread page.

and when i edit all templates how it been before all is okay. i think that is conflicting with print pdf version hack

[Mephisteus]

The showthread error would have been caused by not removing a template edit. On the conflict Ill have to take a look at the print thread as pdf hack when I got the time. A conflict with that would be rather odd...

[eNforce]

Tested and working fine on 3.5.2 :)


I think a good addition would be to have permissions for this, to make it an option for specific usergroups.

[Mephisteus]

I considered that but tossed out the idea. Why restrict something like that to usergroups? The only point in it might be for paid subscriptions. Its a relativly easy addon to make since its only a single option for a single usergroup. Simply use an if condition"is_member_of and you'll be good :)

I dont see a reason to limit it in any way since it doesnt really give any control of the forum. Its like making subscriptions usergroup restricted.

[Mephisteus]

croportal the usercp bug you were having is fixed in 1.0.1

[croportal]

i have download which version. in my xml file says : "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>"

when you have release 1.0.1

i have today download this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=39110

[Mephisteus]

thats the xml version, not the product version

<version>1.0.2</version>
Is the product version

[Oblivion Knight]

Does this use AJAX to reload the page or something?

The "Personal Stick" and "Personal Unstick" phrase doesn't change until the page is manually refreshed after clicking the link.. Could be a browser bug, but I thought I'd mention it.

[EDIT]
Perhaps 1.0.2 fixes this.. Checking.

[Mephisteus]

Yea, I noticed that aswell. Added the redirect (1.0.2) to fix that.

[Mastar]

when i go to edit last template i have delete that in threadbit <if condition="$personalsticky"> <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/mystickypin.gif" alt="$vbphrase[sticky_thread]" /> </if>


and error appear The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

I also made a mistake where I place step #2
There was another instance of
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addsubscription&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[subscribe_to_this_thread]</a>
</if>
</td>
without the </tr> I didn't get any errors but it didn't work at first because I overlooked the instructions.


Upload the product first.


#1. Find in
FORUMDISPLAY:

$threadbits


Add above
<!-- Personal Stickys -->
$threadbits_personalsticky
<!-- Personal Stickys -->************************************************** *****
#2. Find in SHOWTHREAD:
<if condition="$show['member']">
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/subscribe.gif" alt="$vbphrase[subscription]" />
<if condition="$show['subscribed']">
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_thread]</a>
<else />
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addsubscription&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[subscribe_to_this_thread]</a>
</if>
</td>
</tr>


Add below
<!-- Personal Stickys -->
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/mysticky.gif" />
<if condition="in_array($thread['threadid'], $personalstickys)">
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=unpersonalsticky&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[personal_unsticky]</a>
<else />
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=personalsticky&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[personal_sticky]</a>
</if>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- Personal Stickys -->************************************************** *****
#3. Then:

Find in threadbit:
<if condition="$show['sticky']"> <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/sticky.gif" alt="$vbphrase[sticky_thread]" /> </if>

Add above
<!-- Personal Stickys -->
<if condition="$personalsticky"> <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/mystickypin.gif" alt="$vbphrase[sticky_thread]" /> </if>
<!-- Personal Stickys -->************************************************** *****

Instruction given were great and Installed and working.

Great work Mephisteus!

[utw-Mephisto]

Works nice on ut2007world.com (3.5.2)

[Floris]

* Waits for 1.0.3 before upgrading

[Oblivion Knight]

* Waits for 1.0.3 before upgradingI doubt there'll be a 1.0.3 any time soon, both reported issues have now been fixed with 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 respectively, and there isn't much room for expanding this one.. :)

Unless he gets really bored and adds a usergroup permission.. ;)

[Floris]

I know, but I really hope some day it will include a 'list my personal sticky threads' link in the usercp :)

[Justdave]

Dave Clicks *Install*

Thanks Master.

[Floris]

I could not wait ..upgraded to 1.0.2 :D

[Code Monkey]

*clicks install*

Most excellent. It would be nice if it taged the thread like stickies do. Maybe instead of Sticky:, it could say MySticky:

[icemann]

Just make your own buttons, here's what mine look like. :)

[theArchitect]

I am having a bit of trouble.

I have made all of the template changes. Imported the product and uploaded the images, but if I log-in as a regular user and click on thread tools there is no option for personal stickies. :(

[Mephisteus]

Is there an option for subscriptions (Its in the same if-statement)

[twincamfxd]

I installed it and everything looks OK, but when I try to stick a thread it dissapears lol. Any idea what I did wrong? I am not sure where the threads are going, but they just vanish. Everything else looks awesome though.

[FROGGYJ]

this mod cause these problems for me.

1. If you tried to access your usercp you get the following error

"Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /usercp.php(439) : eval()'d code on line 32"

2. if you hit menu > subscribed threads you get the following erro

Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /subscription.php(583) : eval()'d code on line 32

[theArchitect]

Is there an option for subscriptions (Its in the same if-statement)Yep.

But the interesting thing is that in my SHOWTHREAD template div is used instead of tr.

So you code to find is

<if condition="$show['member']">
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/subscribe.gif" alt="$vbphrase[subscription]" />
<if condition="$show['subscribed']">
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_thread]</a>
<else />
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addsubscription&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[subscribe_to_this_thread]</a>
</if>
</td>
</tr>

while mine is:

<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/subscribe.gif" alt="$vbphrase[subscription]" vspace="1" />
<if condition="$show['subscribed']">
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_thread]</a>
<else />
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addsubscription&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[subscribe_to_this_thread]</a>
</if>
</div>

I amended your code to work with div instead, but it should still show.

[Mephisteus]

Did you do the first template edit (its the only reason I can think of why it would cause threads to disappear)

this mod cause these problems for me.

1. If you tried to access your usercp you get the following error

"Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /usercp.php(439) : eval()'d code on line 32"

Are you using 1.0.2, this issue was adressed in 1.0.1

Yep.

But the interesting thing is that in my SHOWTHREAD template div is used instead of tr.

<if condition="$show['member']">

</if>
</div>

Is that a costumized template? And what exactly do you mean with the last bit. If there isnt a <table> <tr><td> wont do much :P

[twincamfxd]

Yep that was it lol. I missed one of the template edits. Works awesome now, Thanks!!

[Smiry Kin's]

Very cool hack

[ronoxQ]

Hmm... It works well, but the images aren't showing up? What can I do to fix this?

[Mephisteus]

Upload the images to the proper image folder for the style you are using.

And click install :)

[biggazillakilla]

Wow, just installed. That was pretty quick and easy. Great work!

Any way to add something to set it apart from the other threads (other than the stickypin)? For example, with a different background color or a prefix such as:

MySticky: Personal Stickys

(Like the default stickies do.)

Edit: I'm going to call this "starring" in my forum to see how that works.

So, something like this:

Starred: Personal Stickys

[john1744]

Absolutely fantastic, my forum userbase is from a Lithium powered forum and this is a feature of Lithium and they greatly miss it. I thank you.

Its not with this version and I have no plans to continue development at this time. Its pretty easy to do it yourself though :)

[JohnBee]

Beautiful! installed... - thanks

[john1744]

Hmm, I stickied a thread last night, and woke up this morning and the thread I had stickied wasn't showing up, but after I searched and found the thread it was saying it was still stuck.

Also I added a small seperator underneath the self-stickied threads and it was working fine last night but now when I woke up I have two seperators from the stickies and normal posts.

Sounds like it collides with another hack. Thats about all I can say about it. Havent got a clue as to how to fix that.

[biggazillakilla]

Its not with this version and I have no plans to continue development at this time. Its pretty easy to do it yourself though :)Yeah, I know it should be easy for some, but for me, it's a challenge. I tried to do it a bit yesterday, but I messed up some stuff.

I'll give it another try, though.

Thanks again for this hack. It's just what I wanted ever since I read Wayne's post about it (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118860).

[BrandiDup]

this may be a totally idiotic question, but does this hack increase database queries?

If not, I'm installing immediately. Brilliant Idea!

[ronoxQ]

I can't find the images! Help me...

I uploaded them as-is to my directory, but they don't show up.

Besides that, it works. Thanks a lot.

[biggazillakilla]

[biggazillakilla]

this may be a totally idiotic question, but does this hack increase database queries?

If not, I'm installing immediately. Brilliant Idea!I couldn't say for sure, but since the stickies are different from each user, I would imagine that the only way to keep track of that would be to keep the information in the database. And the info page at the beginning indicates db changes, so I'd say it's a sure bet.

But I'm not a coder, so take it for what it's worth. :)

[Mephisteus]

It doesnt add or modify any queries, it makes use of existing ones.

Although (obviously) it does execute a query when sticking or unsticking :p

[BrandiDup]

Thank you!

Installed :D

[biggazillakilla]

Can anybody point me in the right direction for where to look to change the background color of personal stickies and to add a prefix (or perhaps even move the graphic to the front of the threadtitle)?

To change the background color, I've tried playing around with the threadbit by adding this conditional:

<if condition="$thread['selfsticky'] == 1">

or

<if condition="$thread['personalsticky'] == 1">

but nothing's working.

Should I try something like this?

<if condition="$personalsticky"> <td style="background: #FFE9B9;" class="alt2" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/mystickypin.gif" alt="$vbphrase[personal_sticky_thread]" /> </if>

Thanks again in advance for any assistance.

[Mr.Design]

I've got NO other hacks installed and I got the same thing... :ermm:

[foxconn]

good work man

[Mephisteus]

I've got NO other hacks installed and I got the same thing... :ermm:

Identified as a bug. I will look through the file and see where the problem is at tonight after school.

The thread will quite simply be stickied to the top of its own page, not the first page per see.

A member is reporting that even though they have stickied a thread, once the most recent reply exceeds what is on page one, it then dissapears.

[aranthorn]

A member is reporting that even though they have stickied a thread, once the most recent reply exceeds what is on page one, it then dissapears.
This and the other issues reported that are related should be able to be fixed by modifying this:
==== Find in FORUMDISPLAY:
$threadbits
==== Add above
$threadbits_personalsticky
to this and it wiil list Forum Stickies then Personal Stickies then normal threads:
==== Find in FORUMDISPLAY:
$threadbits_sticky
==== Add below
$threadbits_personalsticky
or to this and it wiil list Personal Stickies then Forum Stickies then normal thread
==== Find in FORUMDISPLAY:
$threadbits_sticky
==== Add above
$threadbits_personalsticky
The attached image is of the first option. Oh, I also have a slight modification running that shows the old seperator bar, if you want it I found it on here somewhere ;)

[aranthorn]

Ah just for giggles, here's the part of my FORUMDISPLAY that is modified:

<!-- show threads -->
<if condition="$show['stickies']">
$threadbits_sticky
$threadbits_personalsticky
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="0">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</if>
$threadbits
<!-- end show threads -->

[JAYEMULE]

Installed it with no troubles and members are enjoying it. Thanks for nifty little tool for the members.

[diettalk]

It's there.. do a search for subscribe_to_this_thread in the template.

same problem here I reverse the template but still look diferent from the code post here .

[troux]

Installed-- works great thx.

[john1744]

Once you figure out how to get it stuck on all pages, consider in re-installed. :)

[aranthorn]

Existing bugs

- The stickied thread will be stickied to the top of its own page, not the first page per see. I think I found a fix, but it requires a code edit. Looking for other options.
Really, 'cause mine didn't do it :p

This solution you come with doesn't fix what drumsy said.
This will only change the order of appearance (forum-sticky / own-sticky / threads)

What Drumsy was telling:
Once I want to personal stick a thread located at page 2 it only will show up as a sticky at page 2, and not at page 1, which forum-sticky does.

[Mr.Design]

So what's the fix to the bug with it not staying stickied?

[fixer]

thanx for this hack
it works.

the only thing is when someone try to stick a thread which is found in page 5 for example, the thread sticked in same page (5 in this example) not in first page.

anyone has a fix for that?

[ronoxQ]

Upload the images to the proper image folder for the style you are using.

And click install :)
Heh :) It worked! Thanks mucho.

That is only true, perhaps, when each page can display stickies. In case the board only lists stickies at page 1, the personal stickied topic at page 5 disappears.

Displaying $threadbits_personalsticky is wrapped into the condition <if condition="$show['stickies']">

It should be moved outside the condition, right above $threadbits.

That is not a real solution though, personal stickied threads should move to page 1. For some reason, the board hurls real stickies to page 1, no matter how old they are, while personal ones are confined within their own page.

1.0.3 released.

This has file edits now????

[Mephisteus]

Yes it does, it cant be done without them. Requesting a plugin for the two query spots would be useless since it could only be used for my hack.

[DF-inside]

Ah just for giggles, here's the part of my FORUMDISPLAY that is modified:

<!-- show threads -->
<if condition="$show['stickies']">
$threadbits_sticky
$threadbits_personalsticky
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="0">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</if>
$threadbits
<!-- end show threads -->

The above post was found over here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=857812&postcount=73) and is not compatible with the 1.03b version of this MOD.
I had the above code aswell, but will cause that the threads I personal stick are lost at the forums and cant be found anymore.

This solves:
<!-- show threads -->
<if condition="$show['stickies']">
$threadbits_sticky
</if>
$threadbits_personalsticky
$threadbits
<!-- end show threads -->

is there anyway to make this work per usergroups?

I don't see how it's incompatible with 1.03b. I have this exact template edit and it's finding a previously buried personal sticky. I'm not trying to argue, but I just can't replicate what you've stated.

Big thanks for the update, excellent MOD!

[sip217]

Awesome! I just installed it. I think my users will love this one!

i installed this plugin and its wonderful

But when plugin/Hook system is disabled i get this error when i try to login each section of my forum

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.2:

can you fix this problem?

its really a big problem when you disbale a plugin your forum wont be working again

[Mephisteus]

Thats because that is a file edit

[kr580]

I installed this but the pin icon isn't showing up next to the threads. I uploaded the pics and then installed... the 'Stick this thread' icon shows fine, but not the pin.

Any ideas?

[Totti]

the normal pin goes to images and the stick this pin to images\style i think

Hi: This looks like a pretty cool addition to my vB :) I was wondering, how would one "market" this feature? In other words, what can it be used for? Do you create a special forum only with people's sticky's on them, like a sticky board? Anyone like to share how you use this on your board? Looking for suggestions. Thanks :)

[Legende]

it's not working on my board :ermm: i've done everything what's in the readme but when i press "stick the thread" it's a short loading but nothing happens?

[smdani]

I know, but I really hope some day it will include a 'list my personal sticky threads' link in the usercp :)
I hope too

And I was trying to call the list of forums what were marked as stiky and I had managed to show it with two SQL queries and some other code. Like this
SELECT threadsticky FROM user WHERE userid='$the_user_I_want' ORDER BY username ASC
And this
SELECT threadid,title,lastpost,lastposter FROM thread WHERE threadid = $fa ORDER BY lastpost DESC
Where $fa takes the list of threadids who had marked and $the_user_I_want is my problem because I don?t know how to take the $userid at the same time that I do the rest of it

The only step left is to put this into the userCP whit a plugin, template change, or editing the usercp.php but its out of my range, I do some tries without success

?Any one could help me with some clue?
Thanks for your help, and thanks for the hack, its really good

[SilentNoise]

Love it. that's one heck of an idea

[RGSMDNR]

i get this error...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/XXX/public_html/forums/forumdisplay.php on line 802

but it still works if i dont edit this file??

[Webs007]

Can you make an option that a user has to pay to enable there post to become sticky for a certain number of days.

Breakdown:

Admin panel - to set price - and how many days it should be sticy for

User can post a thread - and then on the actual post - when it has edit - quote etc - there could be a option that says - "enhance" (or something similar) - they get taken to a paypal page - then once paid - they return to the forum and there thread is sticky at the top for 5 days (or whatever the admin has specified in the control panel).

What do you think?

Webs007

[Smiry Kin's]

Theres already a payment sticky thing..

[Webs007]

really? - Do you have a link to the plugin then?

[antialiasis]

Installed, and works like a dream. Thanks.

could you tell me how to fix it?

[Mephisteus]

Yes, apply the code edit.

[brianmt]

ummm i have applied it, the error is about .php but i only edited the one in the templates...

also when you said below you meant leave the original code and put the new one directly under the original (and the smae with above) right?

thanks

[Mephisteus]

When I say add below or above I do mean leave the orignal bit.

The thing I can otherwise imagine is that you didn't upload the product.

And stupid question, you do have the latest version right?

[brianmt]

I have version 3.5.2, which it has been tested on, and is the version its made for....

maybe i didnt upload the product right liek you pointed out. I don't think i know how.....

See what i did was i uploaded the product.xml file to vb/includes/xml/ the includes xml file part with FTP....how am i supposed to do it?

[Mephisteus]

Did you also import it (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/import_product)?

[brianmt]

it worked thanks, mate.

[Amiga-uk]

Im having problems with this working in connection to the vRewrite plugin.. Is there a way to get this working with the rewritten urls?

[Derek]

I did everything per the instructions in the zip, but I don't see the link to sticky the threads. Any idea why it would not work?

[Mephisteus]

@Amiga-uk
I don't know the vRewrite thing works. And have no intention of installing it. It should however be a simple modification so if anyone knows it. Feel free to post it up.

@Derek
Check to make sure you did the template edit. It's the only reason I can think of why it wouldn't display the option.

[Oblivion Knight]

Any plans to update this for vBulletin 3.6.0?

I've worked around the file and template edits, but the option doesn't appear on a thread - so I'm guessing parts of the plugins need to be rewritten aswell..

[Mephisteus]

I plan on fixing this when I start working on my own board which I hope will be very soon depending on how things go on with school.

[edit]
Obviously things are busy with school. Don't expect to see this mod converted before final comes out. I do intend on converting it but I just have more important things to deal with atm.

Works great for 3.6.4 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133439) if you alter 4 things in the readme.txt.

Use the attached readme.txt and replace the one in the mod if you use 3.6.4.

Ok i found
You must Edit SHOWTHREAD template
Find

<if condition="$show['moderated'] OR $show['deletedthread'] OR $show['paperclip'] OR $show['subscribed'] OR $show['sticky'] OR $show['rexpires']">

Replace with

<if condition="$show['moderated'] OR $show['deletedthread'] OR $show['paperclip'] OR $show['subscribed'] OR $show['sticky'] OR $show['rexpires'] OR $personalsticky">

[vb_customer]

So this doesn't work in 3.6.5 yet?

[Keyser S?ze]

nope sure dont, needs an update for sure

[Lionel]

I've got this to work in 3.60

first in forumdisplay.php you must remove the last bracket in OR threadid IN ($personalstickysq))

and do like (no parenthesis after AND sticky =)

AND sticky = 1
OR threadid IN ($personalstickysq)

and then do the change in post 126 but the correct template is threadbit, not showthread

[PJSkiboy]

Quick question, is this mod supposed to show your personal stickies in every forum/subforum you visit or is it simply supposed to sticky those threads in the forum they reside?

Currently the personal stickies are following me around everywhere i go on my forums, lol. Is there a way to make them simply be stickied in the forum they were created in???

I really hope i simply have some code wrong somewhere, lol.

It works, but there is a slight problem within the document. It says:
==== Find in forumdisplay.php
$stickies = $db->query_read_slave("
SELECT thread.threadid, lastpost, open
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
WHERE forumid = $foruminfo[forumid]
AND sticky = 1
$visiblethreads
==== Replace with
$stickies = $db->query_read_slave("
SELECT thread.threadid, lastpost, open
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
WHERE forumid = $foruminfo[forumid]
AND (sticky = 1
OR threadid IN ($personalstickysq)
$visiblethreads

The replacement is missing a closing paranthesis - it needs a double )) after $personalstickysq
It should look like this for the replacement

==== Replace with
$stickies = $db->query_read_slave("
SELECT thread.threadid, lastpost, open
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
WHERE forumid = $foruminfo[forumid]
AND (sticky = 1
OR threadid IN ($personalstickysq))
$visiblethreads
AND there was a step left out that was part of the original installation.

[iRO Wiki]

After fiddling with it, I figured out a way to limit it to X usergroups:

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2)">

Just keep adding group ID's after the first, seperated by commas, like so:

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 6, 32, 14)">


If you put it around the code for sticking/unsticking a thread, only people in those groups will see that link!



<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 6)">
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/mysticky.gif" />
<if condition="in_array($thread['threadid'], $personalstickys)">
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=unpersonalsticky&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[personal_unsticky]</a>
<else />
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=personalsticky&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[personal_sticky]</a>
</if>
</td>
</tr>
</if>
</if>


Need to add the first if statement then a </if> at the end.

Keep in mind that if a person you allow to have stickies gets removed from the group, they will still see the stickied threads, they just won't be able to unstick them without using the direct link.

Edit: co-admin brought up a good point, can you still stick from the URL if you knew it, the answer was yes, so I went back to fiddling. The URL's look like this:

showthread.php?do=personalsticky&t=1
showthread.php?do=unpersonalsticky&t=1

And can be called even if you hide the link.

Edit the following plugin: Stick/unstick check

Find:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'personalsticky' )

replace with:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'personalsticky' AND is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2))


Making sure to edit your usergroups.

If you aren't in the defined groups, and try to manually stick a thread, it just takes you to the thread and nothing happens. I'd love it to go to an error message but I have no idea how.
