Make stickies BOLD and in RED...

[WoodiE]

I've noticed that stickey's dont have much to show their importance other then the word sticky in from of the title. I'd rather remove that word sticky and make the title BOLD and RED at all times unless un-stickied.

This is a small template edit, if I had more time I'd tell you what to do, but your best bet for now is to ask over at vbulletintemplates.com

I thought the stickies where hard coded? What template would I be changing to do this then?

[KTBleeding]

Hmm? Maybe they are? I don't think so though?
I don't see why it would be?

[WoodiE]

Then do you know what template it would be?

[KTBleeding]

Hmm, now that I think about it, I think there's a "Sticky Prefix" somewhere in the admin area that you can put the html code for the color. I have no idea, I've used so many different message boards and I've been way too busy lately to actually dig deep into vb3 yet.

I'd look for you now, but I'm at work and don't have access to my files.

Under phrases there is "sticky_thread_prefix" but this will only change the Sticky text, so instead of Sticky you can make it "Important" or something to that effect, nothing to change it to bold or even the color of the title.

Anyone else care to take a shot as this doesn't look like it's anywhere in a template.

Just edit the phrase and wrap it in HTML formatting...

[Yahhoon23]

That's what I did. Might not be as clean as most like, but I just added

<font size=2><font color=red><strong>Sticky:</strong></font>

to my sticky thread prefix and works perfect.

You're right I could, but from what I'm seeing this ISN'T a template change.

Yahhoon23 - Thanks for the reply but that's not what I'm wanting. I want to make the Title of the thread BOLD and in red, not the word sticky, in fact if I can get the title to be BOLD and in RED then I'll be removing the word Sticky all together.

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=49946&highlight=sticky+bold" target="_blank">THIS</a> is why I don't think it's a template change as so many of you keep telling me to goto vbulletintemplates.com - I requested this for vB2 and it was a code change in forumdisplay.php I look for that code in vB3 and it doesn't find it and I can't find anything that's similar, that or I'm just over looking it.

Ohhh, I completely misunderstood what you meant.
I thought you were talking about just the "Sticky" too.

Hmm, would this be able to be done with conditionals at all guys?

Go to line 156 in includes/functions_forumdisplay.ph and edit this line:

$thread['typeprefix'] = $vbphrase['sticky_thread_prefix'];And add the following changes:

$thread['typeprefix'] = '<b>'.$vbphrase['sticky_thread_prefix'].'</b>';

Thanks for that. ;)

This actually COULD be done with a template edit. Use a conditional when you show the thread title. If the thread is sticky, make the title bold and red.

[amykhar]

Here's how to do it. (I just did it on my board)

in the threadbit template, find:

<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><strong>$thread[threadtitle]</strong><else />$thread[threadtitle]</if>


Replace with:

<if condition="$show[sticky]"><font color="red"><b></if> <if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><strong>$thread[threadtitle]</strong><else />$thread[threadtitle]</if><if condition="$show[sticky]"></font></b></if>
