Stick post so that it always appears in search!

Hi all

Don't know if this has been done yet or not but is there a hack that lets you stick posts so each time a search is done by a member it always appears?

Thanks

Hey thanks for getting back to me

When I ment search I actually meant 'View New Posts' so whenever a user views new posts I can stick a post at the top to make sure everyone see's it.

Its ok using Annoucements and such but some users will just use 'View new posts' and nothing else.

Maybe a drop down box option at the bottom of each thread 'Stick Thead on new posts' ?

Could this be done?

Thanks

ahh, you mean threads, not posts sticky on searches.

well is it ok, to show all threads which are normal sticky on view new posts?

if yes you can open search.php find this:

PHP Code:


		
			
    // get date:

    $datesql=" AND thread.lastpost>=".$bbuserinfo[lastvisit];



    $wheresql="1=1".$forumsql.$datesql;

    $wheresql.=" AND thread.open<>10";

and change it to this:

PHP Code:


		
			
    // get date:

    $datesql=" AND thread.lastpost>=".$bbuserinfo[lastvisit];



    $wheresql="1=1".$forumsql.$datesql;

    $wheresql.=" AND thread.open<>10";

   $wheresql= "(".$wheresql.") or (thread.sticky=1".$forumsql.")";

And will this make a thread go to the top of 'View New Posts' each time a users clicks it?

This won't make every sticky thread go to the top will it?

Thanks

That would make every sticky thread goto the top yes...

no, it just shows em where they would appear ordered by dateline

you have to change this in the showresults part:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if ($sortorder!="ascending") {

      $orderbysql.=" DESC";

    }



    $orderbysql.=",thread.lastpost DESC";

into this:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if ($sortorder!="ascending") {

      $orderbysql.=" DESC";

    }



    $orderbysql.=",thread.lastpost DESC";

    $orderbysql="thread.sticky DESC,".$orderbysql;

then it should show em on the first page always

OK thats cool

But the problem I have is I have about 30 sticky threads on my forum and I don't want all of them sticky at the top of the post list, I just want to make a couple of theads sticky now and again!

Does that make sense?

Thank you

Hmmmm...

Perhaps some kind of "Super-Sticky" or something?
