Simkin Junior Member Registered: 03/05/02 Posts: 17	Is it possible to auto move all closed topics to the bottom of the page? Would be very nice If this function is already implemented, please ignore this suggestion.

In ubb_forum.cgi
FIND:

Code:

my($had_stickies, $had_polls, $had_hots, $had_moves, $had_locks) = (0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

ADD BEFORE/ABOVE:

Code:

my $bonus_html = "";
	my $is_bonus = 0;

FIND:

Code:

next unless($one && ($one =~ m/^d{6}$/));
		undef($hot_icon);

ADD AFTER:

Code:

$is_bonus = 0;

FIND:

Code:

$had_locks++;
			$closed = 'X';

ADD AFTER:

Code:

$is_bonus = 1;

FIND:

Code:

$ThisHTML .= &topic_row;

REPLACE WITH:

Code:

if($is_bonus > 0)
		{
			$bonus_html .= &topic_row;
		} else {
			$ThisHTML .= &topic_row;
		}

FIND:

Code:

$ThisHTML .= &page_bottom($had_stickies, $had_polls, $had_hots, $had_moves, $had_locks);

ADD BEFORE:

Code:

$ThisHTML .= $bonus_html;

Then clear the forum page cache

1QuickSI Coder Registered: 06/10/01 Posts: 705 Loc: CT	OK I get it, I am confusing closed with sticky I was looking for a way to make a sticky an option to be either at the top or bottom selectable by forum. Not sure what I was thinking when I read this... _________________________ ...Steven Hostboard.com Running UBB v6.1.0.4 Doing what NO other UBB in the world is doing.

1QuickSI Coder Registered: 06/10/01 Posts: 705 Loc: CT	BTW if anyone is using this make sure you place an underscore between any ones missing from $is bonus $bonus html They should be $is_bonus $bonus_html Else you will get erros _________________________ ...Steven Hostboard.com Running UBB v6.1.0.4 Doing what NO other UBB in the world is doing.

Zombie Newbie Registered: 12/07/01 Posts: 13	this works great on a per-page basis for me. BUT ... can we make all of the closed topics go to the bottom ? I am using a forum as a to-do list , and when a topic has been solved, we close it. I would like the open topics (all of them) to be at the top. Any Ideas ?
