Order Stickied Topics

[Don Pepito]

Problem is that this part of code in babylon's MessageIndex.template doesn't exist....

Code Select Expand

      'post_poll' => array('test' => 'can_post_poll', 'text' => 'smf20', 'image' => 'new_poll.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=post;board=' . $context['current_board'] . '.0;poll'),

I haven't tested it but after a quick glance at the theme Id suggest trying...
Find...

Code Select Expand

// How about new polls, can the user post those?
if ($context['can_post_poll'])
$buttonArray[] = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=post;board=' . $context['current_board'] . '.0;poll">' . ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/new_poll.gif" alt="' . $txt['smf20'] . '" border="0" />' : $txt['smf20']) . '</a>';


Add After...

// Show the Link/Button for the Order Stickied Topics Mod.
'order_stickied_topics' => array('test' => 'can_order_stickied_topics', 'text' => 'OrderStickiedTopics_title', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=orderstickiedtopics;board=' . $context['current_board'] . '.0;'),

First of all, thanks for the mod. Comes in handy!

Installed fine but produced an error:

Code Select Expand

ERROR: syntax error at or near ")"
LINE 3: FROM (psf_topics as t)
^
File: /Library/Apache2/htdocs/xxx/Sources/Post.php
Line: 2836

This is on 2.0b4 using PostgreSQL as the database backend. Using a customized theme based on the default theme. No other mods installed, nothing changed in the files. Only CSS fixes so far.

Changing

Code Select Expand

FROM ({db_prefix}topics as t)

into

Code Select Expand

FROM {db_prefix}topics as t

cured the problem. Might be a difference in pgsql vs mysql SQL syntax ?

Just thought I let you know...

cheers

@habakuk,
As you said, that is most likely an issue with a difference between pgsql and mysql SQL syntaz. Next time I update the mod I will remove that issue.

[habakuk]

Thanks. Not a big issue, it's easy to fix on the user side.

While we're at it: I do have a question about the ordering functionality. Once I've ordered let's say 5 stickies and later add three more, I get duplicate position numbers first. Then I juggle the items around up and down until each one has a unique number.

It would be cool to see the function scan the result list for missing (empty) position numbers and assign unique numbers to those. That would make it probably more reliable to order them.

Thanks & regards

Help please...

Installed this and changed all the correct files and the install went with out a hitch, but I can't find anything where I get to order the Sticky's  ??

Could somebody tell me what I should be looking for or post a Screenshot of what the mod should look like so I know where I may be going wrong ?

Cheers

[habakuk]

Look in a board that has stickies. You should notice a "Order stickied topics" button right of "New topic".

[JaGuR]

OK thats the problem then all I have is "mark as read", "notify", "new topic", "add poll"

So obviously a problem in my messageindex.template file

[habakuk]

Check the docs on the mod. It's nicely and clearly written what to check if you run into that (check the button code).

[JaGuR]

Yes thanks, now that I no what I am looking for I should be able to find the problem ...... wasn't sure if it had to be enabled in admin and stuff, so was scratching my head 

[JaGuR]

Fixed it thank you great mod by the way

[Don Pepito]

Please answer me....

Cool....thx for this mod !

Im having a problem using this mod. Its installed fine but I cant get the sticky topics to order correctly. I want it to go up one so I click the up arrow and it skips up 5 spots, I want it to go down one and it doesnt go down at all. Whats with the values? How can I manually change them? Thanks.

Well, you see the index value and you need to click as many times in the proper sequence to get the topic you want at top to have the highest value. It's a bit tricky to get that done, e.g. if you have 10 sticky topics ordered and add a eleventh which should end up somewhere in the middle or so... I consider it to be a fun game to guess where to click to get it done as quickly as possible.
:-)

or you can go directly to the database and manage the topics there.
