Closed topics to bottom - UBB.Developers

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.

Has this been done ? Any News ?

this has not been done, but I'm gonna give it a shot now

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

Could this be made a selectable option (top/bottom) on a per forum basis via the ACP?

already built in. if you want a closed topic to appear at the topic, sticky it

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...

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

updated my code to add those

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 ?

What would be really cool is to have a display option to not show the closed topics at all

There is one, it's called delete

you aren't getting a UI, but if you just don't do the last step from my earlier post, you'll get the desired results
