SQL Sort Field not working in 3.8?
 

I'm trying to use this plugin to put open topics above closed topics:

At the forumdisplay_query hook location. It worked in 3.6 but hasn't ported to 3.8. Any ideas?

You might want to try $thread or $threadinfo instead of $foruminfo.

Right, but I want this on a per-forum basis, that's the only reason I have that loop.

Not sure why it's not working!

Threads have a forumid associated with them. Did you try what I suggested?

Verify that you are actually getting inside the loop (add an exit; inside the loop).

But that would test each thread to see which forum it is in. The loop there is to basically say "Should we apply open above closed in X, Y or Z forum". I'm not sure what you're suggestion is, can you clarify? :)

Update: What seems to be happening is that sorting is happening (open above closed threads) but only on a page by page basis. So if I go to page 2, the open ones are above the closed ones on that page. But obviously I want all the open ones at the top of page #1.

Solved! Hope this helps others...

Hook location: forumdisplay_query_threadid

Replace XXs with forumids where you want open threads above closed, useful for Reported Posts forum for example.
