If you want to make it display in certain forums, go into the template FORUMDISPLAY

Find: <if condition="$show['threadslist']">

Add Above: <if condition="$forumid == 1">$hs_sotw</if>

OR if you want it to display in multiple forums...

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(1,2,2))">$hs_sotw</if>

1, 2, and 3 being the forumid's, this should work perfectly fine. If you want you can use more than three forums.

This add-on can be improved, so with all of your help, by suggesting new ideas and reporting bugs, I can modify and play around with this product to improve it.

Enjoy, and don't forget to click install if you use!

anyway, I just thought of another feature:

Possibly where the title is: SOTW #46

If you could make it something similar to: SOTW #46 Vote in SOTW#47 now!

So in the settings, you would have an extra place to add the link to the next SOTW voting and the number of that SOTW

That way it would promote the next voting SOTW as well

Just an idea.

Shame this wasn't released two years ago when I was running my old Photoshop forum... oh well. Awesome work and thanks for sharing!

OO use my site as a demo, we are using it!!

and this is amazing ! I LOVE YOU!

like this is hack of the month for sure...

This is an EXCELLENT hack. However, I have a suggestion.

Currently, clicking on SOTW # (whatever) will take you to the winning thread. Clicking on that should take you to a page with all the previous winners & their respective winning sigs.

So... future SOTW? Although I don't exactly have that planned I'll consider it, thanks.

It's a shame you don't have that forum up anymore! You're welcome.

If someone requests another demo, I'll be sure to use it, and I appreciate voting for MOTM even though I wasn't expecting it. Thanks for the <3

Sorry to break it to you, but don't expect that happening any time soon unless I create an option for you to set up the XHTML in that page yourself.

Very nice.
Up until now, I was manually editing the template.
Is there any way to make it forum specific?
I tried changing it to FORUMDISPLAY AND $forumid=x
but I failed.

If so, go into the template FORUMDISPLAY
