Problem. The sticky works, but there's no text in the topic title and in the Wordlets section where it's supposed to be. When I click on an icon at the bottom of a topic, I get two blank radio buttons and a blank enter button. One thing I noticed, Vars_Wordlets_Mods is not for 6.4, it's for 6.3.x. There is a noticeable script difference between the version cp.cgi files. Basically, I have the sticky available, but no text anywhere for it. For now, I have reinstated my backup files and returned the board to "stock". Is there a fix for this? It seems that I have no text due to the difference in Vars_Wordlets_Mods and how it's written for the older 6.3.x version. UBB: www.cofba.org/messageboard

I am using it on my 6.4 board and it works fine. I used the version of vars_wordlets_mods for 6.3.1 that AllenAyers posted without any issues at all. The code in cp.cgi matches perfectly. Click here for the thread...

The version of vars_wordlets on my server is the latest that I had found from LK, I'll scan the code and re-publish it later to be sure its 6.4 compatable.

It seems I got a 6.0.x version of vars_wordlets_mods on here, and thought it was 6.3.x. The first version I tried was from qasic and had an upgrade file and some other stuff for "auto install".
I dunno. But we'll see how this one that TheX has directed me to works.
Thanks for the input everyone:D

Quite welcome. For future referance, differant code is usually required for major upgrades, and is usually documented in files  .

Why not trying a system with 2 levels of sticky (like in phpBB "Post-it" and "Announce") ?

It wouldn't be that hard to impliment but I don't really see the need for it. Most users just have a sticky note up for a week or so.

2 minor fixes for your .mhp Allen:
cp_styles.cgi - top_thread detop_thread
Needs a space after "detop_thread" or you will get an error when trying to update your Style Template.
cp_vars_style_core.pl - Just a minor correction, in the detop addition, the first time it's called on it's refered to as top_thread, should read detop_thread, otherwise it will show up incorrectly in your Styles Template page.

That is quite odd... I don't have a copy of 6.4.0.1 right now to test mods, otherwise i'd be happy to help  . Any 6.4.0.1 users hand teal a hand?

Still using 6.4 After installing, the words didn't appear, so I changed the codes from: [/code]to give a try, into
[code] but still no result. (note the q~ and the ") What seems to be the matter?

Just realised that it's not the fault in wordlets_mods, but somewhere else, which is not calling the wordlets_mods to display the words in the forum. But haven't figured which file would that be.

Just another idea ; I stole  the paperclip that vBulletin use - and added img src="http://www.ocshoot.no/ubb/icons/clip.gif" in the sticky_threads_title (wordlet hack list). Looks better than the word "sticky"  Demo : LINK  Picture: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.ocshoot.no/ubb/icons/clip.gif)

Saxeus - Verify you have vars_wordlets_mods installed correctly and have the wordlet in there.
I don't see why this wouldn't work on 6.4.0.1 since it was just a bugfix release.

I'm using 6.4.0 (not 6.4.0.1) is it a must to upgrade? (grrr... worth loosing all those hacks I installed in my board?)

6.4.0.1 just fixes some bugs found in the 6.4 release.
If you are still missing your Sticky, then check the wordlets_mods

did anyone figure out how to make the "sticky" show. We installed the hack and when we go to top it, we get the radio buttons but no words, and when we do top it, the word sticky doesn't show up.

A few errors were found in the installation text: [/code]Need to remove the #After:
</pre></div></div>Add After should instead read 'Add Before:' If placed in the wrong location, it will blow your board.<br><br><br><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>
</pre></div></div>Note: call to AlternateColors added, and several html commands should be in lowercase in order to remain xhtml compliant.<br><br><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>
[code] Thank you Gizzy for porting the Sticky Threads mod. If you could repair the above in the install text, i would be very grateful. Im porting the application form mod which makes extensive use of the sticky mod, and installers are gonna need to come here for your updated modifications.

You may need to install the Mod Wordlets hack (check v6.4x Final Mods forum) so that the mod wordlets will read. If you did that then most likely you will need to re-hack "vars_wordlets_mods.cgi" file.

Not a problem, your mod looks quite nice, i'm rather impressed... If it wouldn't be updated so often I'd offer to host it on my OC12 lol...
Just for note, I'll be testing all of my modifications in 6.5 Beta soon to be sure it all works, and if not posting updates...
I'm also planning on making a hacks page for those interested.

Well since the UBB 6.5 has Sticky Threads included, I'm proud to say that this modification will be short lived... As most of you have noticed there haven't been many bugs reported on the 6.5 beta release so if all goes according to my estimates give 6.5 another month ... I have to admit, I loved hearing all of the input and criticizm on this modification, just kinda sad that it'll only live on (in the 6.4 sense) for a small amount of time :x...

Oakie doakie, I used Multihack to install AA's mhp file for sticky topic mods (used the 6.3.1 vars_wordlets_mods) to my 6.4.0 board and all looked good until I went to any thread and instead of seeing "Top Topic" I see "De-Top Topic" ... when I click on that icon I come to a page with just a pair of radio buttons and a small grey "click bar".
Now, De-Topic will top the thread and Top will de-top it. So, it actually does work, even though the process wording is reversed and the "top action" page is missing the text.
I had no MultiHack error msgs, I FTP'd the modded files correctly and did chgmod to the new vars_wordlets_mods file.
Where'd I go wrong?
