[bada_bing]

Does this work with the seperate sticky from normal threads hack?

[Kirk Y]

Bada: Yes, they'll work fine with one another -- I have both installed on my test board.

[Atakan KOC]

Thanks... Installed....

Version 1.01 - (6/2/05)

[ADDED] - New option to remove the Sticky prefix of Stickied Threads
[CHANGED] - Switched 'FONT' tags to 'SPAN' tags

Please check the file. I just download the xml and it is the "Separate Sticky and Normal Threads" plugin ;)

[drdeathuk69]

yep same here

[Kirk Y]

LOL! Whoops my bad guys.. I've got too many plugins, hang on just a second.

Edit: Once again, sorry guys. I've got the "Seperate Sticky Posts" hack right above mine and clicked the wrong Export button. I've uploaded the correct XML file and apologize for the mix up.

No problem and thanks for the quick response

[Kirk Y]

That's what I'm here for.

On a side note -- Hey, I'm a Coder now! I feel so special. :banana:

Sorry, but What's the difference between this hack and this one ?

Hmm, I never came across this hack when I was searching for similar ones. I suppose the premise is basically the same, but we've both got some variations.

[Kaleem]

installed :)

[camuca]

Sounds to be good. But where do we hook this in the admin panel. What is the hook locaction? Cna we choose any?

I think my hack is more flexible because you are not limited to colors only.
Also my hack works with all thread types (Standard, Moderated, Sticky, Closed, Poll) thread titles.

[Kirk Y]

@Camuca: The hack is installed as a product. The two plugins I used here are for threadbit_display and forumhome_start. But you don't really need to worry about it unless you wish to modify the hack itself.

@Cybernetec: I don't think it's nice to come into a thread and start promoting your own hack -- regardless of whether or not the two may be similar. I don't see Atakan coming into Zero Tolerance's RSS Feeds Viewer and telling him that his is better... do you? Fact being, this hack is relatively new, a whole 1 day old exactly. It will soon have the capability of displaying more than just "colors" as you say, and as for covering a wider majority of thread types -- we'll see, personally I find coloring Poll threads rather pointless -- they've already got the poll image next to them, but I suppose the same could be argued for Stickied threads too. :p

[Valter]

User asked, I answered. It's not to promote my hack.

Members will always use what they like more, so don't take it wrong ;)

Yeah, I feel the same way -- in the end it all falls upon what the user wants.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114815&highlight=cyb

I am personally using both of these hacks at the same time, they both have different features, using them together like a superhack :p

[Rickie3]

love it thanx *installed*

[murdo]

How do you do this for the Announcement threads?! Any ideas?

[camuca]

installed works well thanks!

[Kirk Y]

I figured it'd be redundant for Announcements as they're above the rest of the threads, but I can add an option for it.

installed works well thanks!
Good to hear, thank you.

-------------------------------------------

As per Murdo's request, I've updated the hack to now include support for announcements. Unfortunately, I couldn't include an option to remove/color the announcement prefixes as it would mean performing a template edit, and I'm trying to keep the hack plugin only.

Version 1.04 - (6/29/06)

[ADDED] - Capability to color Announcement titles

[murdo]

Thanks a lot man, great help! :)

[devilrulez]

It's already in the works. ;)

[Nxs]

Installed (but could use a change)

Could you add a feature to set an "other" or "normal" thread colour ? Always wanted a different colour for threads over url-links and this has the added bonus of different colour sticky/poll/closed/hot. Great plugin - thank you.

edit : hacked the code a little to do what I needed, sloppy but it works for now awaiting your professional magic fingers :)

[Kirk Y]

Not sure exactly what you mean, could you explain a little better?

[Bubble #5]

We have no use for this as it sits, BUT if you could add a feature where [RESOLVED] or [ANSWERED] threads could be a different color, now that would be really cool ;)

[Kirk Y]

The hack is based off conditions, unless there is a "resolved" or "answered" condition -- that wouldn't work, at least, not without extensive hacking.

[LILMORA4]

Click Install --thanx:)

[Nxs]

Not sure exactly what you mean, could you explain a little better?

Ok normal threads get their colour from the CSS style, but that colour is also used in many other places. I want my normal threads to be 'white' but a:link to be set on the CSS style sheet.

Maybe the (messy) change I made will explain


Thread Title Coloring
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=117445


In the XML product look for the end of the phpcode section for 'search_results_threadbit' and add before the closing braces

$thread['threadtitle'] = '<span style="color:#FFFFFF">' . $thread['threadtitle'] . '</span>';


Repeat this for 'threadbit_display' php code section

[I||usi0nz]

trying this now.

[Kirk Y]

Version 1.05 - (8/04/06)

[ADDED] - HTML Markup Support; Bold, Italicize, Underline, and Strikethrough your Thread Titles
[FIXED] - Bug that colored Moved Threads as Polled Threads

* To Update -- Import New XML File and Set Overwrite to YES *

[bubba01]

great install it on 3.6.0 and looking great thx.

[zethon]

I think I found a problem...

1) Install plugin
2) Remove Sticky Prefix? -> Yes
3) Observe the prefix is removed
4) Remove Sticky Prefix? -> No

ERROR:
The Sticky prefix doesn't come back. The option is saved correctly, but the "Sticky" text doesn't reappear.

Anyone else see this?

[Kirk Y]

Working fine for me running 3.5.5. Sounds like a problem on your end; if anyone else has experienced this issue, please let me know.

[SLeeeper]

I just installed it on 3.6.8 with the Carbonfiber style and it works great. Thanks
