Adds a button allowing admins and mods to "top" threads, keeping them at the top of the forumlisting either temporarily or permanently.

Took me long enough to update the 6.2 version, lol.

Wooooo! Finally!

I will install this later tonight, nice work jordo.

This should hopefully be the next thing that I install. Thanks

Is it worth upgrading from the 1.6 version Jordo? It looks like I've got a bit of work to do tonight..

Suggestions:
1. make "Forum Listing" a Wordlet
2. HIDDEN isn't XHTMLed (pub_top_topic.pl), make it hidden.

no. i originally added some changes but took them out so i could test more. so this is really 1.6 from 6.2.x...

updated with JC Templates instructions and one of LK's suggestions Didnt have time to do the wordlet

I have a bug on my forum - Whenever I sticky something the topic disappears off the topic listing. o_O

version LD? anything else installed?

6.3.0.1. And yes I have alot of hacks installed. The weird thing is it worked, and I think it stopped once I upgraded to 6.3.0.1.

I better check that out too....

I saw a sticky on your forum yesterday so it works fine.

LD - make sure you added all the code to be added to ubb_forum.cgi... thats all i can think.

I have a question that might be a bit "noobish" in nature:

I'm using a black background for my forums. When I want to add a sticky, you have the two radio buttons for "Permanetly (until de-topped) top topic" and "Temporarily (until next post) top topic". The text is black. Black on black isn't cool. How can I set the text color there to white or grey? Is there a way?

I assume this is because I have the Text Color set to black in my style template, but I haven't actually tested this theory.

If I'm posting this to the wrong place, kindly kick me in the nuts and tell me where to go...

Thanks for the help!

those are actually graphics. you uploaded them to the noncgi directory and theyre entitled "top_topic.gif" and "detop_topic.cgi". you can just create new ones and overwrite those, or set new ones in the control panel styles.

jordo - Seems when I compared I got rid of one step of code in ubb_forum.cgi. So it's fixed now.

[code][/code]I need that text to be a light color. Grey, white, etc. Or, alternately, have it put into a table with a grey BG color like the text above it. That may be easier to do.

Sorry to be a pain in the ass. I just really want this to appear right. The hack itself works great!

Oh - if you'd like to see what I'm talking about, visit http://vvvcentral.com/forums and try to make a post sticky.

Okay - ignore me. I found what I was looking for in the public_top_topic.pl file and edited it. Looks fine now!

thanks for pointing that out shadowchaser. i should really fix up the public_top_topic.pl html so it conforms to the styles of the board (using board text color, etc).

If you -do- decide to re-edit the script, take a look at two more things:

1. Check the spelling on "Permanetly (until de-topped) top topic."

2. There are a lot of redundant "/" characters being generated in the HTML output. For example, within the
tag in the code I referenced above.

Escape characters shouldn't be neccessary after the "print" command.

Both small issues and easily fixed, but if you're going to re-release the script, thought you might want to know!
