Allow registered users a buy option to sticky their thread

This mod allows you to present a buy option to registered users so that they may make a PayPal purchase to sticky their thread in its forum for so many days. See screenshots.

It basically works liks this: registered user clicks sticky this thread link, a link that appears for those forums you allow and only to the thread starter. User fills in the number of days to sticky thread, clicks submit, gets total price, clicks purchase, pays via PayPal, and PayPal's IPN kicks in, sending postback information to this mod, which automatically sticks the thread. After the number of sticky days passes, the vB scheduled task of this mod automatically unsticks the thread. If there's a purchase or problem with purchase, you'll get an email.

Of course, you need to use PayPal's IPN and have your board set to accept PayPal payments, so do a test run to ensure PayPal's IPN postback information is correctly processed. If you make any money from using this mod, I expect a cut. LOL, just kidding, but do click install should you use this mod.

1. If can, calorie should add icons buysticky.gif before thread set sticky for distinguish between normal thread sticky with thread sticky pay by money.

2 If can more, calorie make the option to change new color of row which the thread pay by sticky stay on (same as the mod " Different Cell Color for Stickies") or make the title of Thread sticky pay by money have the color (example: red, blue, etc,...), bold, italic, the size is bigger.

3. Before the sticky ready expire 1 day or 2 day, should add new component help admin send a new PM automatic announce to the buyer. This idea make admin manage better the buyer (Ex: can remind buyer need transfer money soon to admin, can know the intention of buyer if they want continue to sticky thread pay by money or not).

having a hack that does this would make my days so much easier sometimes then going thru and changing someones profile everytime someone snipes them

I don't think it is a good idea cause not all want to give money out just to make a thread sticky...

[GTAce]

Of course not everybody would...but there are a lot of people who will



Also, I'd still like to know something regarding this --

I wouldn't want 100 stickies in my forums ...would be nice to be able to set a limit of, say 3 stickies at a time.

- I think limit or not, admin will decide how much sticky suitable in ervery forum.

For resolve, I have a idea:

• Make the thread sticky pay by money have a separate line with Normal Threads (same as the mod How To Separate Sticky and Normal Threads )
  
  
• Or make the new template same as a Accouncement or banner -> move code sticky pay by money in, after put new template create in last step to below / above newthread.gif or newreply.gif. Important, must to dọ the sticky pay by money really really diffence with normal sticky. I think when have 100 sticky or more will not make the forum confusion. Of course, never have forum sticky thread untill 100 thread, alway sticky 10-15 thread is very a lots.

Important two, admin must receive money from the buyer by check money in acount the bank or in account paypal -> after the thread set sticky by admin, else is nothing (thread is still thread, it not set sticky, it still the normal thread as diffence thread in forum). So that, I think will not need limit number stickies set at a time.
