Installed... Definitely see a lot of promise with this plugin, but aside from all the feature requests, it works as advertised.

Good job! (and thanks)

Thanks for the update (upgraded on my forums)

Any chance of the POLL colour overriding sticky colour (so a stuck poll is poll colour)

Sure, I'll release another version this weekend.

I guess people would rather have things in a different order - been racking my brains to try to think of an easy way to code this... and cant :)

Yeah I'll come up with some way of prioritizing them.

Same problem here. Hope this post can make it a 2X demand and accelerate the time for an update.

I have classes from 7-12 and then I intern from 1-6 nearly every day; so no, your post will not give me more freetime - especially considering the fact you haven't even clicked Install. ;)

It'll be done when I get a chance.

uninstalled.

lol, your loss.

I wanted the colour order different from the default so moved 3 lines of code further up on one of the plugins - took about 30 seconds and will tide me over until a later release.

Nxs how did you do that? : o please advise.

I don't wish to install incomplete mods for my forum, thus I suggest to the authors what I really need. I wrote "uninstalled" to let them know that their works are incomplete.

People publish their hacks here and in return we show our support. Looking at how many people are using it, it's already priceless. However, recently many users start to post half-assed hacks where it only works for 60% of what you need. They then said that they have no time to update them and they won't do it since it's a free hack.

I have actually paid for a few hacks and of course installed many completed free hacks. By clicking uninstall to half assed hacks, I am showing respect to serious hack developers and users in my forum. Even if it's free, we should fix bugs or correct it as soon as possible, it means doing the best in even the smallest things in life, that's call professionalism.

*cries* please please quickly fix the problem where closed sticky threads will be shown as a grey color. I need closed sticky threads to have a red color and closed threads to have grey color.

This is not a half-assed hack. You should be lucky you get any support at all from me. Most hack authors provide little to no support whatsoever.

With an attitude like yours, it's no wonder most authors don't provide help.

Forgive me for having a life dt~ and not having the spare time needed to customize this hack to specifically suit your needs.

Thats the problem tho.

I want my closed/stuck threads to be the closed colour
You want your closed/stuck threads to be the stuck colour

So in my respect the hack is working fine and is complete and not "half assed"

edit: beat me too it acid :)

Umm...just because it's not serving YOUR purpose 100% doesn't mean the hack is "half assed". Every piece of software can be improved upon and if the author feels the feature you request is something that can/should be provided, then they will make the effort to have it so.

This hack does not suit my needs.

Then dont install it and dont knock it...keep your trap shut and create your own hack....if you can that is.

@acidburn0520

Thanks for the hard work ;)

Thank you. As I said earlier, I will be implementing a feature to fix the Stickied Closed etc. threads. Just be patient.

Then quit whining about it, and create one that does suit your needs.

This is an excellent mod Acid....one might even say it's whole-assed. :)

Umm... are you related to Acyd Burn on phpBB by any chance, acidburn0520?

Can you make it so we can color any thread any color? My friend made a custom hack on our board for 3.0.8 and it worked great, this was like 2 yrs ago and he doesn't have the time anymore.

All I had to do was click a little color palet icon next to the thread title and it opened a popup box where you could select which color you wanted your thread to be, and it was accessible to admins & smods only. Is there any way you could create something like this?

I wish I had that kind of coding skill -- no, I'm in no way related to him.

Sure, I'll look into it for the next release.
=================

Just a general update for anyone that's concerned. I'm still racking my brain over figuring a way to satisfy everyone's needs for the Sticky Thread Combo. situation. The simplest way would be to just color it Sticky regardless - but I've seen a few people that would like their Stickied Polls to show up as Polls and others with different combinations; perhaps I could give everyone instructions to custom tailor the hack to suit their needs -- I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them.

cool thanks

Question:

Basically what I need to do is have regular stickies (as all boards do) and red colored "Paid Sticky". How would I do that with this mod?

I presume regular stickies would work as is, and I'd have to rename hot to paid sticky? But how can I specify which thread is paid sticky and which is regular sticky

That'd require adding a whole new function. You'd have a "Stick this Thread" option and a "Paid Sticky this Thread" option. That's beyond the scope of this modification.

Installed i added Glow to it look fantastic thanks.........

great thank

There is a bug:

If you ajax edit a thread title in forumdisplay.php "<span class = ""></span>" is displayed in title.

Read through the Pages next time. ;)

awsome hack man thanx alot/.. installed

Nice mod Acid, very nice mod. Concise, and allows for perfect customization of post types for... less ... adept users.

nice color. Thank for this mod. :D

Some kind of same problem than other mentionned before but not sure if it's a bug or not.

If I choose to not show the closed prefix and to show the sticky one, this is what I get:

In the forum, if my thread is closed and sticky, I only see the Sticky prefix in blue and that's ok since it's what I have in my settings.

But if my thread is kind of new and is shown as a result on the search page, the prefix sticky is not there! If I reopen the thread, the prefix re-appears...

This is the actual config I have with the hack (see picture)

From the looks of your screenshot, you're using an older version - I'd recommend you upgrade to the latest version.

Per your problem, I've replicated the bug on my test board and I'll fix it as soon as free time allows me.

Thanks ...worked on 3.6.4

After thinking about this how about a new line:

For under the closed row:
Color of sticky/closed?

For under the poll row:
Color of sticky/poll?

etc etc etc

Some things I would like to see added...

The ability to add different text attributes such as:

Blink
Bold
Italic
Underline
Strike

Maybe even fonts?

Each of these would be a tick box with their own row under the color box.

Thanks for the great hack too!

edit: I know the current system has this ability through html tags...I was just thinking that boxes would make it easier to use :p

Very cool hack, thanks for sharing.

Sorry but just write over what exactly in quick edit form? There is no template to edit with your hack, just a product import then what do you want us to write over?

Besides this it's a great hack.:)

You write over everything in the Quick Edit field -- where the Thread Title code is displayed.

Cool thing.. *installed*
Can you add marquee for announcements?
And also someone mentioned glow, how do we add that?
