foreach ($context['topics'] as $topic)
{
// Do we want to seperate the sticky and lock status out?
if (!empty($settings['seperate_sticky_lock']) && strpos($topic['class'], 'sticky') !== false)
$topic['class'] = substr($topic['class'], 0, strrpos($topic['class'], '_sticky'));
if (!empty($settings['seperate_sticky_lock']) && strpos($topic['class'], 'locked') !== false)
$topic['class'] = substr($topic['class'], 0, strrpos($topic['class'], '_locked'));


echo'
<tr>

<td class="windowbg' , $topic['is_sticky'] ? '8' : '7' , '" valign="middle" align="center" width="4%">
<img src="', $topic['first_post']['icon_url'], '" alt="" />
</td>
<td class="windowbg', !empty($settings['seperate_sticky_lock']) && $topic['is_sticky'] ? '8' : '7' , '" valign="middle" ', (!empty($topic['quick_mod']['remove']) ? 'id="topic_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '" onmouseout="mouse_on_div = 0;" onmouseover="mouse_on_div = 1;" ondblclick="modify_topic(\'' . $topic['id'] . '\', \'' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '\', \'' . $context['session_id'] . '\');"' : ''), '>';

if (!empty($settings['seperate_sticky_lock']))
echo '
' , $topic['is_locked'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/quick_lock.gif" align="right" alt="" id="lockicon' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '" style="margin: 0;" />' : '' , '

echo '

// Is this topic new? (assuming they are logged in!)


echo '
<small id="pages' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['pages'], '<a href="', $topic['last_post']['href'], '"> (last)</a></small></td><td class="windowbg' , $topic['is_sticky'] ? '8' : '7' , '" valign="middle" align="center" width="5%">

What colspan? What class?

The variable you would want to use is: $topic['is_locked']

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

if ($topic['is_locked'])
{
       <do_something>;
}

What colspan? What class?

Not sure yet .... 

Basically , going to change the link color and backgoround with the class, and probably remove the first poster , last poster views columns etc..

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

if ($topic['is_locked'])

{
       <do_something>;

}


Ok would i replace the <do_something> with the whole code i posted in the original post with the changed colspan and class, or would that be over kill ?

edit: Ok something like this ?

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna


if ($topic['is_locked'])

{
       
<new class , colspan>;

} else {

<old code>;

}

Ok there are a couple of other things i want to do with it

The first being i want to display the last message of the thread from display.template.php in MessageIndex.Template.php.

Is there a single variable or an easy way of doing this  ??

As the Admin i basically want to be able to close the thread (delete it) by locking it and give the reason for locking it (deleting it) in the last post, and then display the reason (Last Post) next to the thread name in MessageIndex.Template.php

The next thing i want to do is only allow the admin to click the link of the post, so this way members can no longer see the thread, just the thread name and the reason it was deleted.

The whole idea is to delete a thread with out actually deleting the thread, this way members can see what was deleted and why, and it will be easy to un-delete the thread by just unlocking it

Do you have the separate stick and locked topics checkec?

This code should setup a new class if it is.

if (!empty($settings['seperate_sticky_lock']) && strpos($topic['class'], 'sticky') !== false)
$topic['class'] = substr($topic['class'], 0, strrpos($topic['class'], '_sticky'));
