Is anyone porting the Sticky Hack over for 6.2? Maybe the 6.1 version works on 6.2?

Thanks guys!

The 6.1 MIGHT work in 6.2, depending on how it determines what topics are sticky.

So, does that mean I can install 6.1 version in UBB6.2 or I cant?

You should be able to do it.

NOPE! i just tryed to install it & it seemed like it would work until the last 2-4 steps...i tryed to figure it out, but it didnt come out right.

somebody PLEASE update this hack for 6.2 cuz I REALLY need it for my board.

The sticky mod works on my 6.2 forum!
Try to rehack it should work

then how did u do these 2 steps?...

########===================
######## in cp_vars_style.pl AND cp_add_new_template.pl (Templates):
########===================

########after:

&RegField(qq!Delete Topic (Admin) Icon


!, "delete_topic", "yes", "30", "60", "", "$vars_style{delete_topic}");

######## add:

&RegField(qq!Top thread (Admin) Icon


!, "top_thread", "yes", "30", "60", "", "$vars_style{top_thread}");

&RegField(qq!DeTop thread (Admin) Icon


!, "detop_thread", "yes", "30", "60", "", "$vars_style{detop_thread}");

########===================
########in cp_styles.cgi :
########===================

########find (you will find this 2 times, do this for BOTH):

"priv_message");

########replace with:

"priv_message", "top_thread", "detop_thread");

########after (you will find this 2 times also, do this for BOTH):

"delete_topic" => qq^$in{delete_topic}^,

########add:

"top_thread" => qq^$in{top_thread}^,
"detop_thread" => qq^$in{detop_thread}^,

I am fairly new to this hacking stuff (had my board since november) and I was able to get it to work.

There is a new file that goes with cp_vars_style.pl it is cp_vars_style_core.pl

So once you make the change in that it is pretty much done everywhere else.

It says to look for "priv_message"); in cp_styles.cgi and you will not be able to find it.

I looked for: move_topic delete_topic prev_topic next_topic priv_message and then added: top_thread detop_thread to the end of that line.

this "delete_topic" => qq^$in{delete_topic}^, isn't there anymore at all and I spent a long time trying to figure out where it may have gone. I wasn't able to find it, and i think it will only affect the boards if I try to add a new forum, so i left it out and it seems to work fine.

Like I said I'm pretty new to this so I'm not sure that what I've said will help you any, but knowing about cp_vars_style_core should be some help at least.

Shinju, you're right on. Thank you for applying your brain before hacking.

If the hack doesn't seem to work out, explore the code... try to find out what it's trying to do and do your best to make it work.

i might try that, but it would still be good if somebody updates this hack for 6.2 so its easier to understand.
