Tagged Threads: Subscribed Threads behave like Sticky Threads

[high]Installation Instructions[/high]

Step 1: Upload the .xml file to the Product Manager
Step 2: If "Check Thread Subscription" is turned off in your vBulletin Options, you will need to enable it for this to work (Thanks to teach1st for pointing that out :))
Step 3: Click [high]INSTALL[/high]:D

[high]What does this Plugin do?[/high]

Basically, this will display (by default - colours/decoration changeable) a "Tagged" thread (aka Subscribed) as a Sticky thread in the forum it was posted in, per user :devious:

[high]Are there any screenshots?[/high]

See post below :)

[high]Version History:[/high]

This modifies how subscribed threads work or adds a new system of "subscriptions"?

This modifies how they are displayed: Too frequently people never find the "Subscribed Threads" in the User CP, because it's out of the way...

Alot of people hate email notification so they don't use Subscriptions at all: This aims to make Subscribed threads behave like stickies in their forum, and appear below Stickies in the thread listing, so they are seen and accessed easier :)

Installed, but not working as described. Tried two different users, two browsers.

ON EDIT: Working now. "Check Thread Subscription" must be enabled in ACP Thread Display Options.

Yeah it's a good idea, thanks.

Ah I didn't check if Thread Subscriptions were needed - I had mine on by default :)

I'll include that in the post, thanks :)

Great hack!

Now that is a cool plugin. What a brilliant idea, custom stickies basically.

I have a suggestion/question...would it be possible to choose which subscribed threads were stickied and which weren't? On the basis that if you have a lot of subscribed threads/existing stickies or a combination it will get quite full quickly.

Currently no, but when I expand upon it I don't see why not :)

Onimua pointed out something, as he runs both my Strike through threads plugin and this plugin ;)

If you run both, edit the Subscribed Plugin:
Change the code to:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($thread['issubscribed']) 
{
    if (!$thread['open'] && !$thread['sticky']) 
    {
        $threadbit =& $threadbits_sticky;
        $thread[threadtitle] = '<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #FF0000;">Tagged: </span><span style="text-decoration: line-through; color: #FF0000;">' . $thread[threadtitle] . '</span>';
    }
    else
    {
        $threadbit =& $threadbits_sticky;
        $thread[threadtitle] = '<span style="color: #FF0000;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tagged: </span>' . $thread[threadtitle] . '</span>';
    }
}

Then edit the strikethrough plugin, and change the code to:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!$thread['open'] && !$thread['sticky'] && !$thread['issubscribed']) 
{
$thread[threadtitle] = '<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">' . $thread[threadtitle] . '</span>';
}

This should solve the problem of them clashing :)

This is absolutely wonderful Chris, my users have been wishing they could self sticky threads forever.

Hey Chris, loving this addition! A question though...

BTW, I have 'Sticky' renamed 'FYI'.

Please see attachment. As you'll see FYI is in bold and not hyperlinked, and normal thread highlighting dependant on thread state occurs [in this case, not bold, because there are no new posts]. The word 'Tagged' though is hyperlinked, and I'm assuming the thread is bold by default [in this case I have removed the colour and moved the bold to 'Tagged' only]? Any way to avoid this and have it act like vB's natural way of working? :)

I stripped out the HTML that edited the threads in my xml, it was causing some funky issues in our HTML enabled forums.

However one bug I did note that is serious is threads I have tagged only appear stickied on the pages they are currently resting in. They aren't global forum stickies. I'd rather have that.

If you mean in every forum, then this most likely will require code modification ;)

@FleaBag - I shall investigate it but I am almost certain that to do it to that detail will require code modification ;)

Yeah I want the stickies to be stuck on every page of that forum they are in. Just that forum. I'm not seeing that option in the vBoptions. :(

AdminCp -> vbulletin Options -> Forum Display Options -> Show stick on all thread pages -> Set to YES

Thanks Chris! :)

Didn't work, the thread I subscribed to is still down on page 4 floated, not on page 1. :(

Chris M

There's no reason I can see for it not to be behaving like a sticky thread unless you have the vBulletin Option turned off...

It is behaving like a sticky, it's just being a sticky way back on the page it rests on instead of all the pages of that particular forum.

absolutlely love this hack thankyou *installed*

Would it be possible to adjust what it says (tagged) and the color (red)?

I'd love for them to be able to control their own set of personalized "pseudo-stickies" though.
