Terrific!
Simple to install, I went for product-Separate_2.xml.

Beautiful.

Lovely! Thanks man.

One thing though, I've having a little problem here... Take a look.

[Mr.T]

So, once again.

I've installed it and it works perfect.
I' got only one problem with an other style. In this style the user that wrote the sticky-post is not black like at the normal post.

In the picture you see what I mean if you don't understand my bad english ;-)

I hope someone can help me to change the color into black.

Nice and simple, but just what is needed. Thanks. I installed number 2.

It would be good if you could put the differences between the two hacks in your thread header though.

I notice that there was an update today. What's been changed/added?

Could it be that bug that I have reported a few days ago?

Code here

1. Create Phrases:

Type: Global
Varname: delim_sticky
Text: Sticky Threads

Type: Global
Varname: delim_normal
Text: Normal Threads

2. Find this in FORUMDISPLAY:

<if condition="$show['threads']">
<!-- show threads -->
<if condition="$show['stickies']">
$threadbits_sticky

and replace with this:

<if condition="$show['threads']">
<!-- show threads -->
<if condition="$show['stickies']">
<tr>
<td class="thead" width="100%" colspan=7><strong>$vbphrase[delim_sticky]</strong></td>
</tr>

$threadbits_sticky
<if condition="$threadbits">
<tr>
<td class="thead" width="100%" colspan=7><strong>$vbphrase[delim_normal]</strong></td>
</tr>
</if>

Maybe you could intregate that into your hack so others can enjoy it as a plugin?? I was going to just post the code up in the other section as dont know how to create a plugin however you can use it if you wish

Hi Daz,

Thanks for your code: I like it very much that you can use words on the lines. I have another question regarding splitting threads in the threadoverview :

I use sticky threads also for displaying ads on my forum. They are normal sticky threads, and have an advertisement as content. What I would like to know is this : how can I split those advertisements-threads from the regular sticky threads into a separate area, just like you did with sticky threads and regular threads in your picture?

I would like to achieve something like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sticky Threads
[ ] [ ] Sticky: Spamming On This Board !!!
-------- Noonster
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Advertisement Threads
[ ] [ ] Advertisement: New Madonna Single Out Now
-------- Advertisement
[ ] [ ] Advertisement: New Madonna Album Out Now
-------- Advertisement
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal Threads
[ ] [ ] Update: New Style Created
-------- Noonster
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this possible to achieve? Preferable with a Plugin.
