Sticky thread prefix

[Reverend]

I've edited my "Prefix for sticky threads" to Important:

Is there a hack available that lets you prefix individual sticky threads
i.e have some that are prefixed with Important: and some that are prefixed with Sticky:

[wolfe]

good idea d00d i could do with this too nice one

I assume you would want something integrated to Admin CP, but well it's not a 2 min. hack so here is my fast solution:

Edit forumdisplay.php, find:

PHP Code:

$thread[typeprefix]=$stickythreadprefix.$thread[typeprefix]; 


Replace it as:

PHP Code:

if ($thread[threadid]==X OR $thread[threadid]==Y OR $thread[threadid]==Z)
{$thread[typeprefix]='STICKY:'.$thread[typeprefix];}
else
{$thread[typeprefix]=$stickythreadprefix.$thread[typeprefix];} 


Replace X, Y, Z with the threadid of threads that you want to have "sticky:" prefix.. Others will be prefixed with your admin cp specified prefix..

Enjoy

There is also another hack available that is called custom prefixes that let's you make up custom prefixes in Admin CP.

Both Custom Post Prefix hacks restrict who can use them by usergroup

I'd go for the latest version by Burns.

It would be handy if you had an option to give the thread a prefix when making it a sticky.
either by the "edit thread" or "stick/unstick" thread option.

Just a thought.
