Timed Stickies by Zoints - Automated unsticking of stuck threads when YOU want

[Zoints]

This modification allows you to stick a thread until a specified time. Once the specified time is reached, the thread is automatically unstuck. Simple, but extremely useful if you're like me and forget about stuck threads for 6 years until someone finally complains.

Do you have a team of vBulletin coders locked away in a deep, dark basement where they're forced to code for food or something? Jeez. :p

Yet another "Zoints" mod that goes on the install list...

[Gripemaster]

Very, very cool. This I can use. Thank you!

*Installed*

[Gripemaster]

Tested the mod on a thread, set it for 9:00 PM to unstick... 9 came and went and the thread was still stuck. Clicked on "Change Timed Sticky", and it was not set for 9:00 PM, it was set for 5:00 PM.

Set another thread for 10:00 PM, and when I clicked "Change Timed Sticky", it was set for 6:00 PM. Is GMT a factor somehow?

I'm kinda confused...LOL :)

[Zoints]

Hmm. Is your server time different from your personal time?

*edit* I see the issue. We'll have a fix up ASAP.

[Gripemaster]

Yes, my server time is different from my personal time, but only by one hour.

As far as GMT... it's -4 hours (until next week when it changes to -5)

And yes this GMT crap has always driven me nuts LMAO!

Will await your fix. :) Thanks a bunch.

Couple questions:

1. Will this work for 3.5.x versions of VB
2. Does this use permissions? If now is this planned?

[Zoints]

Ok, let's try that again. My sincere apologies for the trouble. 1.2.6 is now available.

1. Yes, please see my sig for the proper version.

2. How would you apply permissions to this? Meaning who is allowed to set a timed sticky?

Heheh.

I must say, it's kinda neat to have the creator of vBGarage installing some of our mods :cool:

[firstrebel]

Our saviour. Never again will I need to trawl all the fora to unstick threads.

:up:

[firstrebel]

My installation went OK without the need to do the template edit, but the code <div><label for="ao_tst"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_tst" value="timedsticky" /><if condition="$show['unstick']">$vbphrase[change_timed_sticky]<else />$vbphrase[timed_sticky]</if></label></div>is not in the SHOWTHREAD template. Should it be?

Bob

[Zoints]

Hi Bob,

Long version: It might not be that *exact* code anymore. But if you do a template search for "$vbphrase[unstick_thread]" you'll see it shows in showthread somewhere. From version to version vBulletin changes quite a few minor things. So if you do a search for that entire string of code, it may not show depending on your vBulletin version, style, other mods, etc.

Short version: Nothing to worry about, it's fine :)

[firstrebel]

Found it, thanks.

That put a fix on it. Works like a charm. Sweet hack... Thank you! :cool:

[Mr Pink]

Great mod, DChapman. :)

[bada_bing]

1. Yes, please see my sig for the proper version.

2. How would you apply permissions to this? Meaning who is allowed to set a timed sticky?
Yes the permissions would be for only certain usergroups to use this times sticky feature. So basically if only usergroup "A" can use they will see the option if you are usergroup "B" that option isnt even viewable in the drop down

[mgurain]

good basic feature, should be included with standard features of vbulletin.

[Richard H]

worked fine with 3.6.9 but now getting this error with 3.6.10 "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched."

[Zoints]

New version uploaded: zointstimedsticky-1.2.7-3.6_3.7.zip for 3.6.10. Please post if you run into any issues. :)

[vbboarder]

Thanks for this useful mod! Just tested it in VB 3.7.3 - no probs, great work! ;)

[GPTB]

Is this vb 3.8 friendly?

[djbaxter]

Is this vb 3.8 friendly?

Yes, if you use the latest version with the token security fix.

[Dimoks]

3.8.2 - all ok...

please help me add string for all users "Stick until ............." :rolleyes:

sample alt for image https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/29.gif

template threadbit
<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/sticky.gif" alt="$vbphrase[sticky_thread] until ?????????????" />

Thank YOU! :)

[Dimoks]

Hi

Please help me... I need mod "Automated delete thread when YOU want"

Thank You!

[New Joe]

Nice, works fine in 3.8.4

[AusPhotography]

Any chance of a vB4.1.x version?

[Mark.B]

Any chance of a vB4.1.x version?
I would say not...Zoints as a company has been largely dormant for years now. The "Zoints" account has not been online since 2009.

[AusPhotography]

I'll do it myself ... give me a couple of weeks due to work etc.

Trouble is Zoints (c) means I can't share it :(
