This is a mod based on a PHPBB mod.

It allows you to 'weigh' threads, give them precedence over others. If you have a lot of stickies, this is very useful. Through edit thread you can set the weight. This has two simple plugins and one template mod to install.

The way it works is simple. By default, all threads are weighted at 0, anything above that will take precedence over the rest that don't have a higher weight.

This is my first modification that I've made, so any feedback is appreciated.

This is compatible with VB 3.6.4 and 3.6.5, it has not been tested on any other versions at this point. It is very simple, so I don't see any issues with other versions being likely.

If you use it, please click INSTALL.:up:

so basically the more their weight, the more on top of the threadlistings they are?

yes

Hi I've installed this but can't see where to enter the weighting.

I'm assuming I can edit old Stickies and reorder them?

Thanks

You enter it in the edit thread screen, you have to have done the template edit for this to work.

I am concerned about abuse of this feature by registered members if they figure out how to use it. Is there anyway I can only let the weight be adjustable by admin?

I've logged in as an Admin and still I don't see any text box or place where I can type in sticky weight. The database elements were added by the mod but it just doesn't show up. I'm using vBulletin version 3.6.8 with the security hack number 2 (latest).

What do I have to do to make this work?

Thanks!

this will work well in my news forum - (which is displayed in my VBAdvanced page). Stickies aren't recognised by VBA so I've not previously been abl;e to order news items other than by creation date - thanks :up:

This works well with the News Slideshow modification if you want to arrange the order in which the stories appear on the slideshow as well. This is what I did to use it that way:

Quote:

Open the "mod_fpslideshow.php" file. Search for "sticky" (only one instance in the entire file) and replace with "threadweight".

Old line of code:

Quote:

$getnews = $db->query_read("SELECT threadid from ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE attach !='0' AND forumid in($forumid) ORDER by sticky DESC, threadid DESC LIMIT $limit");

New line of code:

Quote:

$getnews = $db->query_read("SELECT threadid from ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE attach !='0' AND forumid in($forumid) ORDER by threadweight DESC, threadid DESC LIMIT $limit");

Now use the vb_Cement modification to arrange your sticky news items in the forum you are pulling the news from. Enjoy!

I love this mod but need to know if it works in vB4
It looks simple for a coder to modify but still beyond my understanding.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
