Stickys and other thread Prefixes as templates...

[Dean C]

I have several styles on my board ... and when i customize the HTML in the vbulletin options to give them a nice feel and stand out .. it looks ncie on some styles and ugly on others...

hence the need for my stickys to be templates so i can customize them for that styles needs...

NOTE: I reall need this hack so can some1 plzzzzz make it

Thanks in Advance

not tested, but should work:

add template stickytext content: Sticky: or whatever you want

then open forumdisplay.php and find

PHP Code:

if ($thread[sticky] == 1) {
         $thread[typeprefix]=$stickythreadprefix.$thread[typeprefix];
      } 


replace with

PHP Code:

if ($thread[sticky] == 1) {
         $thread[typeprefix]=gettemplate("stickytext").$thread[typeprefix];
      }

IT WORKS !!!

u shud release this to every1 ... its a fantastic hack ...!

[Admin]

An easier approach, without editing any files, is set the prefix to {stickyprefix} in vBulletin Options, then set up a replacement variable for {stickyprefix} in each style. That's how I do it here.

Chen, will you release it as a hack?
Because I don't get what are you speaking about...

@gmarik: that is no hack at all.
it's just the use of replacement variables of vb.

if you don't know how to use them you should read the vb manual.

Oftentimes we don't notice these older threads until someone relies to them. Old or not, they do have some good stuff sometimes.
