The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

About Developer · **Released**: 10-18-2006

This modification allows you to stick a thread until a specified time. Once the specified time is reached, the thread is automatically unstuck. Simple, but extremely useful if you're like me and forget about stuck threads for 6 years until someone finally complains.

Installation Instructions

1. Upload the file located in the /upload/ directory of this release to its respective location in the forum.

/upload/includes/cron/timedsticky.php => <forum directory>/includes/cron/timedsticky.php

2. Import the product file "product-zointstimedsticky-1.2.5.xml".

AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

3. Smile and stick 73 threads just because you can.

Official support will take place at http://network.zoints.com in this specific forum.

Not enough of them judging by his signature

Ok, let's try that again. My sincere apologies for the trouble. 1.2.6 is now available.

1. Yes, please see my sig for the proper version.

2. How would you apply permissions to this? Meaning who is allowed to set a timed sticky?

Yet another "Zoints" mod that goes on the install list...

Heheh.

I must say, it's kinda neat to have the creator of vBGarage installing some of our mods

Our saviour. Never again will I need to trawl all the fora to unstick threads.

My installation went OK without the need to do the template edit, but the code

Code:

<div><label for="ao_tst"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_tst" value="timedsticky" /><if condition="$show['unstick']">$vbphrase[change_timed_sticky]<else />$vbphrase[timed_sticky]</if></label></div>

is not in the SHOWTHREAD template. Should it be?

Bob

Zoints · #18 10-20-2006, 09:45 AM

Hi Bob,

Long version: It might not be that *exact* code anymore. But if you do a template search for "$vbphrase[unstick_thread]" you'll see it shows in showthread somewhere. From version to version vBulletin changes quite a few minor things. So if you do a search for that entire string of code, it may not show depending on your vBulletin version, style, other mods, etc.

Short version: Nothing to worry about, it's fine

firstrebel · #19 10-20-2006, 09:54 AM

Found it, thanks.

Bob

That put a fix on it. Works like a charm. Sweet hack... Thank you!

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