awesome hack...thanks for this...works great.

Is anyone available to take over this mod and bring some new features onboard? It would be great to be able to show last post by, time, replies, views, etc.

This is a great idea. I was searching for a hack to show multiple announcements but this is even better. I for one would love to see the other features added (especially the adding to every page).

anyone else able to get this to work w 3.6.4? It does not work for me, nothing shows. All edits done, files uploaded and product imported.

nevermind, I'm a dummy, forgot to enable it. :P

There must be a way to show date posted of the featured threads. Can someone with a bit more knowledge in this area help?

I've installed the hack but all I'm getting on a main forum page is "No database selected".

I traced it back and that's a part of 'Feature' hack when tries to do

I guess it's doesn't have a database selected at this point, huh? Weird but that's what says. Any suggestions?


On a separate note, I've slighly enhanced the integration on 'feature thread' item into the menu. I suggest changing the second step of template editing to:

Open Showthread Templates > SHOWTHREAD
Find:

Add after:

This was it does not come up with empty line in the menu for users who don't have right to feature threads.

Yeah it works for me fine in 3.6.4 but I installed it when I was on 3.6.3.

When I install this hack on our board as soon as I put the code into forumhome it stops the page from loading. If I disable it the forumhome loads fine. I've tried it on four different skins (including the VB Default) and it fails.

Any ideas? I really want to install it.

Thanks.

One of the draw backs to this is when you feature a thread and the limit for featured threads is already reached, you get no error page, it just says the thread is now featured, but it's not. It doesn't bumb off the oldest thread, it does not show an error, nothing.
