Q&A 1. Why is it V0.10?
Well, when i started this mod', i had some good ideas with it, and i started to loose intrest after a while.
I got the "base" made, so i thought, "why not release it?"
So, i have. If i get enough installs, or a positive response to the mod', i will glady spend more time, adding the features i wanted.
2. Oooh...What new features?
Not too many features...things such as...
Featured Thread ordering
Order by thread date
Order by by date featured
Order by amount of replies
Custom ordering
The ability to show the featured threads on the forumhome, or on everypage.
Ability to show what information is displayed in the features thread box.
Yeh, these are pritty easy to do, i just don't have the dedication i need to make them, like i said, if i get a good response, expect to see them soon.
3. How many usergroups...?
The option, that allows you to choose certain usergroups to access this mod', is limited to 12 different usergroups.
Not because i'm being mean, i just did the usergroup permission, in my code useing explode and arrays.
Don't ask why, i just did. : /
That will be improved when/if V1 is released.
Changelog
0.10 - Release.
0.11 - Set default value on "Show x" option to 4, to stop confusion with mysql_errors
0.12 - Edited Enable/Disable option from Radio buttons, to a simple Yes / No boolean to avoid errors.

Feature Request: How about giving featured threads its own new page ?
Some functionality which shall auto-pull highest rated, replied, viewed threads from last week, month, 3 months, year, till day etc. ?

Yes, I agree, great idea, I'd love to see something like this done. It would give a great indication as to what topics are truly "hot" at a quick glance, not just the threads that certain people want to feature. But I suppose this could be a totally separate hack
I'm liking this mod. Only problem is it shows featured threads even if a user doesn't have permission to view the thread. Here's the query that selects the featured threads:
PHP Code:
$query="select * from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE `featured` = 'featured' limit $rows ";
What would we need to change here to make it so it only selects threads the user has permission to view?
I have a big request, that I really hope you may mind doing.
I would like to display the featured threads on a non vb page, but the non vb page is my homepage which has globals and all the rest on it so it is integrated with vbulletin a bit.
Basically im trying to make the homepage look more active, and this would be perfect.
