Ported to 6.4 by Gizzy (Gizmo@undergroundnews.com).

Description: Allows admin's and mod's to "top" and "detop" threads thus keeping those threads at the top of the forum either permanently or temporarily.

NOTE: This IS a standard feature of UBB.Classic 6.5+.

Requirements: Valid license, UBB™ 6.4.0, Vars_Wordlets_Mods.

Download: Zip

Demo: Here, UGN Security

Problem. The sticky works, but there's no text in the topic title and in the Wordlets section where it's supposed to be. When I click on an icon at the bottom of a topic, I get two blank radio buttons and a blank enter button.

One thing I noticed, Vars_Wordlets_Mods is not for 6.4, it's for 6.3.x. There is a noticeable script difference between the version cp.cgi files.

Basically, I have the sticky available, but no text anywhere for it. For now, I have reinstated my backup files and returned the board to "stock". Is there a fix for this? It seems that I have no text due to the difference in Vars_Wordlets_Mods and how it's written for the older 6.3.x version.

I am using it on my 6.4 board and it works fine. I used the version of vars_wordlets_mods for 6.3.1 that AllenAyers posted without any issues at all. The code in cp.cgi matches perfectly.

Click here for the thread...

The version of vars_wordlets on my server is the latest that I had found from LK, I'll scan the code and re-publish it later to be sure its 6.4 compatable.

It seems I got a 6.0.x version of vars_wordlets_mods on here, and thought it was 6.3.x. The first version I tried was from qasic and had an upgrade file and some other stuff for "auto install".

I dunno. But we'll see how this one that TheX has directed me to works.

Thanks for the input everyone:D

Quite welcome. For future referance, differant code is usually required for major upgrades, and is usually documented in files .

Why not trying a system with 2 levels of sticky (like in phpBB "Post-it" and "Announce") ?

It wouldn't be that hard to impliment but I don't really see the need for it. Most users just have a sticky note up for a week or so.

that should be "add before"

here's an .mhp if someone wants it

http://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00000494/stickythreads64.mhp

2 minor fixes for your .mhp Allen:

cp_styles.cgi - top_thread detop_thread

Needs a space after "detop_thread" or you will get an error when trying to update your Style Template.

cp_vars_style_core.pl - Just a minor correction, in the detop addition, the first time it's called on it's refered to as top_thread, should read detop_thread, otherwise it will show up incorrectly in your Styles Template page.

thank you, updated

hack worked but it dosn't display anymore the word 'sticky' in front of the message headline. Any idea where to look ?

/edit: Problem gone ?!? *wonder*

would this hack work on ver 6.4.0.1?

TIAR

lol how odd Zarzal...

teal_mare: should work just fine, I doubt they made many changes.

hmm.. it doesn't work on my version.
error message after clicking the forum name.

...ubb_forum.cgi, error line 514

oh well.

That is quite odd... I don't have a copy of 6.4.0.1 right now to test mods, otherwise i'd be happy to help . Any 6.4.0.1 users hand teal a hand?

Still using 6.4
After installing, the words didn't appear, so I changed the codes from:

but still no result. (note the q~ and the ")
What seems to be the matter?

Just realised that it's not the fault in wordlets_mods, but somewhere else, which is not calling the wordlets_mods to display the words in the forum. But haven't figured which file would that be.

Just another idea ; I stole the paperclip that vBulletin use - and added

</p width="10" height="14"> in the sticky_threads_title (wordlet hack list).
Looks better than the word "sticky"
