I've seen this on some other forum software and modded it into my current phpBB installation. Do you guys with experience in the vB codebase think this will be hard to code?

What I will be doing is adding a quick-and-dirty if() statement because I only need it in 1 specific forum. What do you guys think, will this be easy?

In vBulletin 3.5 it's a 1 Line Plugin.
Hookname: forumdisplay_query

$sqlsortfield = "(open != 0) DESC, $sqlsortfield";


For vBulletin 3.0
In forumdisplay.php
FIND

ORDER BY sticky DESC, $sqlsortfield $sqlsortorder


REPLACE that with

ORDER BY sticky DESC, (open != 0) DESC, $sqlsortfield $sqlsortorder

Cool! Thanks a lot!

Hi is this available for 3.6?

[Lynne]

Try the plugin suggested and see if it works.

Doesn't seem to work in 3.8, strange.

I've been searching for awhile in vain, is there a way to do this on vB 3.8 or vB 4?

The 1 line plugin above seems to work on 4.1.9, so it should work for the 3.X versions as well.
