Seperate Stickies & Announcments from regular threads (Template Mod Style!)

Author: ffdcsite
Description: This seperates stickies and / or announcments from normal threads (Original created for vB2 by me)

NIce job, I was earching for a mod like this

assassingod · #13 10-31-2003, 05:40 PM

No problem

Hi,

I was wondering if it could be possible to have the option to make it look like this:

http://www.borstenforum.nl/content/i...viewforum&f=12

They have separate 'categories' for Announcements ('mededeling'), Sticky posts and Threads ('onderwerpen') inside the forums. Maybe that could be even more attractive for visitors?

I like your modification very much: this sort of thing should be standard in VB3. It's a tiny little thing, but with a BIG result. Thanks,

Grover.

Hi Grover,
That could be done but it may involve hacking. I'll have a go at it but it wont be released here

Xiphoid, he was giving that site as an example. He wants my mod to do that

I have made it to add a line below announcements as well as stickies by using the following (kindly using the code in this thread to do this but just experimented till I found the right place)

In FORUMDISPLAY above  add the following

Code:

<tr valign="top">
 <td class="thead" colspan="10"><img src="$stylevar[imagesfolder]/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr>

This will then (with the template mod in the first post here) look like this

Happy to help

This is a feature very similar to that one included in invision forums. It looks pretty cool except that in invision, you had headers for example: Important Stuff would be added if there were stickies or announcements and then Posts would be the heading underneath the stickies or announcements. Did that make sense?

I have attached an image to see what I mean a little better

peterska2 · #21 11-16-2003, 09:16 PM

That makes sense but as this is added after the thread not before it, it doesn't appear possible to me. Mind you one of the more experienced hackers may have a look at it for you.

[edit] I knew what you meant as I use IPB as well and it used to be my main software

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