Make Sticky Threads Bold

This little plugin makes Sticky threads show up as Bold in the thread listing.

If you wish to add additional html markup such as colour, etc - edit the plugin and look for the <strong> </strong> tags - it should be fairly obvious what you need to change.

Small but useful

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

i downloaded the file but I've never used a plugin before, all the mods i've done before have been very self explanatory in text files

i just need a walk through guide more or less

i click plugin system > add new plugin but then what?

what is my hook location and do i upload everything in this file for the plugin php code?

i believe it is just go to acp, select plugin system then click manage products then add/import new product and select the product cit boldsticky.xml file it will then install automatically.

very new to all this so if it is wrong i am sure someone will correct me

For example when you do modding, & place a check it comes up with a nice noticable yellow. (Would be good to have that around the whole cell/table with what ever colour you wanted.)

A bit like ebay featured ads?

Anyone any ideas?

To any other users reading this I managed to find exactly what I was looking for.

Problem with the Plugin:

I just noticed that the board now has an on-the-fly title change, where if you double click in the blank space next to a thread title, you can immediately change the text in the title.

However, this causes a problem with the new sticky color format. When double clicking next to a sticky, the format code gets inserted into the thread text, and does not go away (in fact, it pushes thread text off and truncates the end of it).

It's no problem for me to change the text back. I'll just leave it that way for awhile so it can be examined.

Why does a double click to the left of the sicky title allow change, and add html code in front of the thread title??:surprised:

Thanks,
