Separating the sticky topics from the normal ones

[eclipselv]

You can use this:

Code Select Expand


if (isset($previousTopicClass) && strpos($previousTopicClass, 'sticky') !== false && !$topic['is_sticky'])
echo '
<tr>
<td width="9%" colspan="2"></td>
<td>', $txt[70], '</td>
<td width="14%">', $txt[109], '</td>
<td width="4%" align="center">', $txt[110], '</td>
<td width="4%" align="center">', $txt[301], '</a></td>
<td width="22%">', $txt[111], '</a></td>
</tr>';
$previousTopicClass = $topic['class'];

Is there a way to get rid of those stupid gray bars that say subject. I tried every piece of code here, and none of them seemed to work. Here is by board= http://krawproductions.com/smf/index.php?board=2.0;sort=last_post;desc

Looks like you didn't apply it as described.

I added this after:
foreach ($context['topics'] as $topic)
{
and nothing happened.... i have board 1.0.1

Are you sure you did it for the correct template file?  For example, you might be using the "classic" or "converted" theme.

[eclipselv]

i dont understand... i dont see anything different. It does not give any kind of error either..

I'd like to do something simpeler, but I need a little help.
I only want to add the text 'Sticky:' in front of the title of a sticky topic.
It should be easy, but I don't succeed.

There's another thread floating around that describes exactly how to do this...

(do a search?)

but specifically, in MesageIndex.template.php, you need to have this code where it checks for the first post...

Code Select Expand


                        <span style="', $topic['is_sticky'] ? 'font-weight: bold;' : '', $topic['is_locked'] ? 'font-style: italic;' : '', '" title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '">
                                ', $topic['is_sticky'] ? 'Sticky: ' : ($topic['is_locked'] ? 'Locked: ' : ''), ' ', $topic['first_post']['link'], '
                        </span>';

I finally got this separator to work.
I had to reinstall the forum and now it works fine.
Don't ask me what the prob was, cause I don't know.

I'm a newb at this forum, and when it comes to editing code.
Can someone help me out on the code I need to find to place labels in front of stickies.
I did a search and found nothing.
I would like someone to tell me exactly where to place this code... Does anyone know?
I want to thank all of you for your help, it makes transitioning to a new forum much easier.

I love you Ben

Meanwhile, which one true? (from codes?)

[Xarcell]

He's right, fer some reason it seperates the stickies, but has the first post mixed in with it. Where do I place that <span> code?

I'd like the font to be white too

I only find foreach ($context['boards'] as $board) in my MessageIndex.template.php
is this the same?
can I replace this with the follow code?

$stickybar = false;
$normalbar = false;
foreach($context['topics'] as $topic)
{
if($topic['is_sticky'] && !$stickybar)
{
echo'<tr class="titlebg"><td colspan="', empty($options['display_quick_mod']) ? '7' : '8', '"><b>Important Topics</b></td></tr>';
$stickybar = true;
}
else if(!$topic['is_sticky'] && $stickybar && !$normalbar)
{
echo'<tr class="titlebg"><td colspan="', empty($options['display_quick_mod']) ? '7' : '8', '"><b>Normal Topics</b></td></tr>';
$normalbar = true;
}

[ernomo98]

I find it.
Thank you.

How would I go about editing this in SMF 1.1 Beta 3?

I know you moved some stuff to sub files but I couldn't find any of this code so I guess you've redone this piece of code or something. Have I missed something or is this mod useless now?

Sol edit: Sorry. SMF 1.1 (Beta 3) has a space between the foreach and the reat of the code. Fixed it now.

[Jochus]

Thnx! This option is great!

// No topics.... just say, "sorry bub".
   else
      echo '
               <td width="100%" colspan="7"><b>', $txt[151], '</b></td>';

   echo '
            </tr>';

   foreach ($context['topics'] as $topic)
   {
      echo '
            <tr>
               <td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" align="center" width="5%">
                  <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/topic/', $topic['class'], '.gif" alt="" />
               </td>
               <td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" align="center" width="4%">
                  <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/post/', $topic['first_post']['icon'], '.gif" alt="" />
               </td>
               <td class="windowbg" valign="middle">
                  ', $topic['first_post']['link'];

i replace the bold text with what was suggested in this topic

This worked like a charm! Thanks guys!

[Xarcell]

The script works well, but what if I want a another line above the sticky posts just like the one below.

How can I do that?

Thanx,

-Xarcell, php noob.
