Change Log
Version 1.0.3
- Fixed some broken uninstall code.

Version 1.0.2
- Changed the default value of sticky order from 0 to 5. This was done so you may have stickies like ?Sig Testing? that are always below new stickies.

Version 1.0.1
- Fixed Select Field size.
- Removed '' from numeric values to lessen load and speed up the script.
- Removed excess spacing just to clean up the code.
- Changed != to <> in the MySQL Query to prevent problems.

[WNxWakko]

Very interesting. Ill Install it.

[divided_by_fear]

going to try it out thanks

[wolfstream]

Nice job!

[FleaBag]

This should be default in vB! Great work, thanks a lot! :)

[nexialys]

what would be cool on the design sight is to have that new block of functions displayed only when you click to stick the thread.. ;) -- ok, i'm paranoid!

The problem is there area about 4 different spots to sticky posts. There is only one spot that you could do it reasonably. The rest get a bit more complicated especially the inline mod sticky as you can stick mass amounts of threads.

I will look into it though for a future version.

[akanevsky]

Very nice. Could use a bit of work, but on the bottom line this hack is great :)

[uae]

Awesome Work :)

Cool hack...

Design of the form:
Two buffed up with extra words. The select field is narrower than the text fields. The controls should only show up when sticky is selected.

Cron:
Integer fields do not require to be wrapped into single quotes. Ex: Use sticky = 0 instead of sticky = '0'
In MYSQL, you use <>, not !=. Therefore, use sticky_expiry <> 0 and not sticky_expiry != '0'
### is not a MySQL way to write comments. Therefore, there might be a MySQL error when running this query.

DROP sticky_order,
DROP sticky_expiry
I am not 100% sure, but I think it must be written like this:
DROP sticky_order, sticky_expiry
If it works the way you have it, excellent :)
Same thing with quotes goes with your XML. You do not need to wrap numeric values into quotes. Although it doesn't matter much, it does affect speed.

- The DROP (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/alter-table.html) and Comment (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/ansi-diff-comments.html) are correct as they are.
- Fixed up the PHP and removed the '' around numeric values and removed some excess spacing.
- Fixed the select field.

In the next version I will see about making the options only show up when there is a sticky. The major problem is you can sticky the thread on that page and it uses a check box instead of a radio button so it will take some time to code it.

[akanevsky]

The DROP and Comment are correct as they are.
Ok, sorry about it then. I was simply used to the syntax generated by phpMyAdmin.

- Fixed up the PHP and removed the '' around numeric values and removed some excess spacing.
- Fixed the select field.
Thank you.

The major problem is.... checkbox instead of radio button
I don't see it as a "major problem", because both checkbox and radiobutton use the same hidden "checked" parameter, and you hack should show the controls when that parameter has a state of 1, and not show the controls when the parameter has a state of 0. ;)

[Enthonia Tech]

Installed the mod but it is not workign , checked 10 times but still not workign..can you check template edits please ?

[SmEdD]

What part isn't working? And do you have the pulgin turned on?

[Enthonia Tech]

The advance sticky options isint displaying in thread edit and thread post and yes plugin is turned on! :)

[SmEdD]

Ok, do you just have on style on your forums? If you do you have to do this to all of your templates. If that dosn't help try this.

Replace template threadadmin_editthread with this. (this is the default threadadmin_editthread with the addition)

[SmEdD]

Any updates on how it went?

[SmEdD]

Updated to v1.0.3
- Changed the default value of sticky order from 0 to 5. This was done so you may have stickies like “Sig Testing” that are always below new stickies.
- Fixed some broken uninstall code.

[IrPr]

seems i need DROP sticky_order and sticky_expiry columns before re-installing product, rite?

[SmEdD]

Yes there was an error on the 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 uninstall code. Run this query.

ALTER TABLE thread
DROP sticky_order,
DROP sticky_expiry;

DELETE FROM cron WHERE title IN ('Sticky Cleanup');

[ssslippy]

Ok ive tried to install this, doesnt seem to show up in the edit window. Its still showing the default. I even did a copy of paste of your code above. Still fails.

[Tinbendr]

Ref. Installed 1.0.3.
Seems I'm having the same problem. No changes to the edit box.

[PolyMarauder]

Thanks for the mod. Works like a charm, just what I needed.

Cheers!

[Lady Divus]

Ok, i have a couple questions,

1.) Does this work on 3.5.4?
2.) I installed it and it doesnt work, where do i check to make sure it is turned on?
3.) If it is turned on, what could be making it not work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Be well -

Did template edit, added plug-in..plug-ins turned on...file uploaded...but still not showing. Using Vb 3.5.4

It shows in the 'Thread Tools' option in each thread. Choose 'Edit Thread' and you will see the Sticky options, check out the screenie below...However, it doesnt work for me even when i try to use it. Hope this helps -

[utw-Mephisto]

Lady, thanks, I knew that it only works on edit but I thought it is enough to use the regular edit button, now I can see the sticky options. You say that they don't work for you. Do you mean they don't show up or they don't go unstuck ? Just curious before I try the scheduled thing ..

Your welcome...They show up, they dont stick the way the hack was intended. They stick the same as they would if i didnt have the hack in place. I am hoping for help as to why this is happening...Thank you -

Lady Divus

[whitetigergrowl]

would be nice to have this as a default option at the bottom before posting.

[sensimilla]

I have uninstalled this hack as it didnt worked for me and I get this error on forums..

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT threadid

FROM thread AS thread

WHERE forumid = 16
AND sticky = 0
AND visible IN (0,1,2)

Thanks in advance for help.

[utw-Mephisto]

Installed (still 1.0.2) on 3.5.4 and works like a charm .. I first forgotten that the scheduled task has to run (changed time intervall) but then everything works as expected - thanks !

Hello, could you share with us what you did to change the time interval? I went into my scheduled task manager and i dont see the cron options for this hack...

Do i need to add a cron job? If so, what attributes do i need to enter? I guess this will be my last attempt at trying to get this to work, if i cant get it resolved i will uninstall from both, here and from my site. Thank you for any help in advance -

Lady Divus

[utw-Mephisto]

I installed it according to the instructions. It installs the cronjob automatically and I simply changed the time from once a day to evey 15 minutes ...

[Lady Divus]

Wow, thank you, works perfectly...I also realized i was ordering the stickies the wrong direction...

Example:
If i want a particular sticky to be at the top, i dont number it number 1, but rather if i have a total of 4 stickies i would want to number it number 4 to make it number 1...In other words, order backwards, not forward...Sheesh im getting dizzy lol

Anyway, it works! Thank you for your help utw-Mephisto, this this was a very important hack to me...Be well -

Can't seem to uninstall from 3.6

[Milchi]

[kissythecutie]

[kissythecutie]

where is the upload folder?

[phOny]

brilliant, just what i needed at www.totallypsp.com/forum - thanks, saved my life in the cheats forum... thanks!

[Extreme John]

installed and works great :) thanks

[ssslippy]

Still has broken uninstall code, cant uninstall this plugin as it fails to work.

[zeroality]

Is this restricted to admins only?

[SmEdD]

Still has broken uninstall code, cant uninstall this plugin as it fails to work.
What's the error you are reciving?

Is this restricted to admins only?
Anyone who can edit the thread (close/sticky/etc), not the post will have access to this.

[CypherSTL]

Can you port this to 3.6 please? would be very grateful.

[bada_bing]

Is this usergroup permissions based?

[Harley D]

For those who can't find the Sticky Options after installing "Like me" and those who what the options in the New Thread and Edit Thread templates as options.

<!-- /ADVANCED STICKY OPTIONS -->

The code above was found in the Advance Sticky Options for 3.6 in this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1072751&postcount=32 Made by RedWingFan. I take no credit, but I will tell you it does work with VB 3.5.4.

[DSLTD]

Hi all, hoping for some pro help or from someone who can tell me whats gone wrong!

OK - So i downloaded and followed the instructions here for an advanced sticky options plug in (so i can position old sticky's at the top of the forums)

Importing the plug in - i found this instruction difficult having never done it before and not being able 2 find any guides on this forum.. anyway, vbulletin said it was a product not a plug in, so i installed a product, filled in the details so it pointed to the .php file i had uploaded to my 'cron' folder. How to "turn on" a plugin or product i do not know, but when i EDIT a thread the advanced sticky options appear so i guess ive done something right!

The problem is when i specify a position and click save the changes are not made and the sticky remains in the same position it would be if this plugin/product were not installed at all!

I also added some code to my threadadmin_editthread as per the plugin thread linked at the top of my post.. so my threadadmin_editthread now reads as follows incase the fault is in there?? ;

Is this going to be made to function on 3.6.7?

[Ingress]

Installed on 3.7.2, noted no problems so far.

Does it work on 3.6.8?

Why not daring to use the fine search? Saves many a post.

This is what it found for me:

Because that one won't work for 3.6.8 ;)

Well, I managed this old 3.5 version to work with my 3.7.2 board without any modifications to it apart from manually updating the templates the same way as in 3.5. I doubt it wouldn't work with 3.6.x for that reason ;-)

Since I've never run 3.6 I can't help here but I bet it's either a template issue or a conflict with some other mod you have installed.

Just test it in a clean test environment without any other mod installed and make sure the template edits are done correctly, that surely will make it work.

Is it possible to have sticky open on the thread, so user sees it without having to click on it?
