Mark As Informative Threads (or whatever, I got no idea what to name it, just a part of my Hack System)
Author: tnguy3n
Support: www.vbviet.org

This hacks gives admins & mods (or any usergroup you set) the ability to mark user threads as a informative threads/article, and show it in the user's profile.
To install this hack, just simply upload the product xml file in Admin CP -> Product Manager.

TIPS:
- To add more usergroup to have access to this feature, open Mark As Informative on showthread_complete hook, then add more usergroup ID in the array of this line code if(!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid], array(5,6,7)))
- Limit the "Mark As Informative" option in showthread, add more forumid to the array in line (in_array($thread[forumid], array(2,3)))
seperate by commas. ie. in_array($thread[forumid], array(2,3,4,5,6,7,8)))

Installation: 3-4 mins (easy)
Template mod: 2
Product: 1

So this is like sticky threads right?

Nope, it pulls out from database all threads of a user that are marked 'isquality' and display it in his profile.
Maybe live sample gives a better explanation...

as in another example, I have a few tutorial, tech, informative forums on my board (where no trash post allowed). When a user post an informative thread in those forums, mods/admins can mark it as informative or "quality" thread. It's sorta similar to the list of hacks of hackers in profile on vb.org. ;)

Why don't you make the usergroup and forum ids settings? It would be easier to add to them that way. ;)

/me installs

it's only 2 settings, I don't think the webmasters are that lazy to fix that themselves. :P

An Excellent Idea.. Will be good for adding a "My Favourite Threads" option to peoples profiles :)

OK installed now how do I use it? I think this hack conflicts with the "first post on every page hack," cause I don't seem to see it.

then you got to make change in firstpage (or whatever template for that hack) too.
