[How To] Seperate Sticky Topics from Normal Topics

[Belak]

Within this How To I will show you how to seperate your sticky topics from your normal topics. If you want to see how it looks like, take a look at the attachment.

First, we need a new language variable. so open $phpbb_root_path/language/**/viewforum.php and add the following code:

Code: Select all

// FIND
?>

// BEFORE ADD:

$lang = array_merge($lang, array(
    'STICKY'                => 'Sticky topics'
));


then you have to open $phpbb_root_path/styles/subSilver/template/viewforum_body.html.

Code: Select all

// FIND:

        <!-- BEGIN topicrow -->

            <!-- IF topicrow.S_TOPIC_TYPE_SWITCH eq 1 -->
                <tr>
                    <td class="row3" colspan="<!-- IF S_TOPIC_ICONS -->7<!-- ELSE -->6<!-- ENDIF -->"><b class="gensmall">{L_ANNOUNCEMENTS}</b></td>
                </tr>
            <!-- ELSEIF topicrow.S_TOPIC_TYPE_SWITCH eq 0 -->
                <tr>
                    <td class="row3" colspan="<!-- IF S_TOPIC_ICONS -->7<!-- ELSE -->6<!-- ENDIF -->"><b class="gensmall">{L_TOPICS}</b></td>
                </tr>
            <!-- ENDIF -->

// REPLACE WITH:

        <!-- DEFINE $TOPIC_NORMAL = 0 -->
        <!-- DEFINE $TOPIC_STICKY = 0 -->

        <!-- BEGIN topicrow -->

            <!-- IF topicrow.S_TOPIC_TYPE_SWITCH eq 1 -->
                <tr>
                    <td class="row3" colspan="<!-- IF S_TOPIC_ICONS -->7<!-- ELSE -->6<!-- ENDIF -->"><b class="gensmall">{L_ANNOUNCEMENTS}</b></td>
                </tr>
            <!-- ELSEIF topicrow.S_POST_STICKY and $TOPIC_STICKY eq 0 -->
                <!-- DEFINE $TOPIC_STICKY = 1 -->
                <tr>
                    <td class="row3" colspan="<!-- IF S_TOPIC_ICONS -->7<!-- ELSE -->6<!-- ENDIF -->"><b class="gensmall">{L_STICKY}</b></td>
                </tr>
            <!-- ELSEIF topicrow.S_TOPIC_TYPE eq 0 and $TOPIC_NORMAL eq 0 -->
                <!-- DEFINE $TOPIC_NORMAL = 1 -->
                <tr>
                    <td class="row3" colspan="<!-- IF S_TOPIC_ICONS -->7<!-- ELSE -->6<!-- ENDIF -->"><b class="gensmall">{L_TOPICS}</b></td>

[saw]

can you tell me what shoul i Edit if in viewforum_body.html if I have prosilver?

[Semi_Deus]

ProSilver was made without any tables, so that would be a lot more difficult..

[Sniper_E]

UPDATED.... Thanks Belak!

Now I just noticed that there is something wrong with the table width on the right side in this viewtopic.
It's only at the top with the ads.... I bet the ads has something to do with it but it shouldn't. More weird stuff....

Tested; Works with RC1

Prosilver Related Question.

This will concern topic listings.

You know how the 'Announcements' topic has its own section hovering over the other topics (being stickies and regular threads)? I was wondering if it were possible to me all Stickied threads hover-- or its own little section --right above the regular threads, and right underneath the hovering Announcements?

If this is possible and has been discussed already, can someone link me to the topic, for I couldn't find it if it exists.

Please and thank you.

[Xabi]

I need the same info as rebornagain. I would like to separate stickies in prosilves in the same way as announcements.

[Belak]

sure there's a way to do it, but i currently have no time to look into the source code and find a solution. it should actually work the same way, i guess...

you just have to put the DEFINE an IF statements in the right position.

this is the source code for prosilver:

That's Great Mickroz!

I'll post that in the prosilver fixes for you.
You saved me from having to do it also.... Thanks!
