Installing Plugin/Product problem....
Hi all, hoping for some pro help or from someone who can tell me whats gone wrong!
OK - So i downloaded and followed the instructions here for an advanced sticky options plug in (so i can position old sticky's at the top of the forums)
Importing the plug in - i found this instruction difficult having never done it before and not being able 2 find any guides on this forum.. anyway, vbulletin said it was a product not a plug in, so i installed a product, filled in the details so it pointed to the .php file i had uploaded to my 'cron' folder. How to "turn on" a plugin or product i do not know, but when i EDIT a thread the advanced sticky options appear so i guess ive done something right!
The problem is when i specify a position and click save the changes are not made and the sticky remains in the same position it would be if this plugin/product were not installed at all!
I also added some code to my threadadmin_editthread as per the plugin thread linked at the top of my post.. so my threadadmin_editthread now reads as follows incase the fault is in there?? ;
Code:
<form action="postings.php" method="post" name="vbform">

<input type="hidden" name="t" value="$threadid" />
