[release] Seperate Stickies & Announcements from regular threads
 

Seperate Stickies & Announcments from regular threads (Template Mod Style!)

Author: ffdcsite
Description: This seperates stickies and / or announcments from normal threads (Original created for vB2 by me)

You sure are busy tonight. :)

Yep, expect a few more template mods to come (my portal for example;))

Look forward to it, im doing a portal for vBt but decided to wait on the RC before I let it go.

Sounds good:D:)

Nice mod, but isn't there something like this released at vB.com too?

Haven't seen anything but i'll look:)

I saw it during one of the early betas on vb.com but a few months ago I tried looking for it but I couldn't find it.

I was so glad to see you posted it, thanks alot!

Well, I'm not guessing you copied it or anything, so it's fine. :)

Chen released the one at vB.com incase anyone was wondering.

NIce job, I was earching for a mod like this :)

No problem

Hi,

I was wondering if it could be possible to have the option to make it look like this:

http://www.borstenforum.nl/content/i...viewforum&f=12

They have separate 'categories' for Announcements ('mededeling'), Sticky posts and Threads ('onderwerpen') inside the forums. Maybe that could be even more attractive for visitors?

I like your modification very much: this sort of thing should be standard in VB3. It's a tiny little thing, but with a BIG result. Thanks,

Grover.

Hi Grover,
That could be done but it may involve hacking. I'll have a go at it but it wont be released here:)

grover,
I went to that url but that is phpbb ! wtf! :D Couldn't pay for the vb license no more? :)

Xiphoid, he was giving that site as an example. He wants my mod to do that;):)

Indeed! .....

I have made it to add a line below announcements as well as stickies by using the following (kindly using the code in this thread to do this but just experimented till I found the right place)

In FORUMDISPLAY above <!-- end show announcement row --> add the following

This will then (with the template mod in the first post here) look like this

Happy to help

This is a feature very similar to that one included in invision forums. It looks pretty cool except that in invision, you had headers for example: Important Stuff would be added if there were stickies or announcements and then Posts would be the heading underneath the stickies or announcements. Did that make sense?

I have attached an image to see what I mean a little better

That makes sense but as this is added after the thread not before it, it doesn't appear possible to me. Mind you one of the more experienced hackers may have a look at it for you.

[edit] I knew what you meant as I use IPB as well and it used to be my main software :)

The most funiest thing is that the forum is all about boobs :) making them bigger etc.
So what are you guys hanging out there :)

JK

For me this doesn't work where I don't have Stickies.
So could there be something done when you only have announcements the announcements will be seperated from the regular threads.

If you look at my post above it shows how to do that :)

Thank you so much and sorry for not paying attention, good job, works smooth.

for vB Gamma...

jancarlo

Thanks jancarlo, that was *exactly* what I was looking for !

works great thanks!

Anyone know of any reason why this wouldn't work with RC-3? I had it working with RC-2 and ugraded, after re-applying this hack I'm not seeing that seperation between the sticky post anymore.

Chas.

Works great!
Thanks a lot!

Use the code from the install_gamma.txt.. should work fine with that. :)

nice one man :D I think i might use it :D

is there a way to add the last thread/by/etc stuff below the stickies also?

It seems that in GOLD something has changed

Can anyone tell me plz how I get this to work with GOLD?

Thx

StarBuG

The original template modification works just fine in Gold. Only the template modified has changed. You should make the changes in the threadbit template instead of the template listed above.

Can so

Can someone help with this as I can not get this to work with gold there is no

<tr align="center">

In threadbit like Wayne said please help

Dan

The stickies already have a break in them, its a VB3 basic option

Ummm no they don't well mine doesn't
