Like my closed topics at the end (and the statement that no other CMS has this isn't true)

I would also like to have Announcements always at the top like they are supposed to. Now if you post a Announcement and a new post get's posted it get's posted above the Announcement.

Shouldn't it be

* Announcement - Always at the top of forums like any otehr CMS
* Sticky - Always under the Announcements but above the posts
* post - Always above the locked but under Announcements / sticky
* locked - Always at the end of the forums (what isn't the case and won't be done?)

Like here for instance: http://forums.mushkin.com/phpbb2/viewforum.php?f=11

once again what? What's your point? You don't see the block with Announcements at the top? Those will always be ontop like they should be.

I think KillerSneak means something like this:

http://www.vilegaming.com/forums.x/3

See that the sticky posts are above and a bit seperated from the normal posts.

I'd like to see this feature to, at least for sticky and announcements.. I do not care about locked posts, but it would be nice to see a separation of sticky and announcements..

# KillerSneak : once again what? What's your point? You don't see the block with Announcements at the top? Those will always be ontop like they should be.

your posts were always referring to closed topics at the end of the forums, which isn't case at any CMS or FORUM system.. and that was my point..

as for the announcements on the top of the forums and sticky ones i believe that's the case in seditio..

what you are looking for is separation between sticky and normal posts, and that's probably not something that all users want.

... can we help you ...

It's not the case, unless i have to change something (i don't know about) in the admin panel and it's not described anywhere. My topics are always about the same as none of the dev's/users/contributors can give a normal clear answer but like you always refer to other posts so yes ill keep asking the same questions unless someone can and is willing to help me.

Seditio 125.

NOTE: All the posts in that section were just regular posts ( NO STICKY OR ANNOUNCEMENTS). I played with them just for you to show you that stickys and announcements are placed ABOVE the regular posts.
And, as you can see, the new post is placed under last sticky one.

You got yourself an answer in your older posts, browse through them.

I KNOW THAT you are looking for a SKIN way of separation, and on that question no one here except maybe Spartan could give you the exact guide because he has it on his site villagaming.

I also referred you to the "Invest" option, which could probably get you a fast solution but you need some $$$.

And last tip: get a freelancer!

honestly that is not hard to achieve at all, and a lot more people than just spartan could post that really quickly. i used to have a core hack on all of my sites to do this just because i thought it looked better, although i dont have the code anymore. but it really isnt that hard..

you just have to manipulate the sql query to seperate the ft_sticky, and the ft_stick/ft_lock. you could even add a whole new section in the tpl just for announcments.

im not really into the whole coding scene anymore, i kind of just float around to give advice where needed or i would whip it up and post it here, but im sure anyone who has even a little php knowledge could show you this fairly easily.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.

Well if you could help me i would be more than glad to invest some $$$$ as most answers here on the forums are useless and raise more questions than answers (also a note/point why COTONTI won't make it big time as the community isn't real helpfull tbh)

The development Team works pretty hard as far as I see in Trac. Don't blame them, there should be more coders in our community anyway. The bigger community, the better help.

I'll try to come up with something as far as your solution is concerned.

EDIT

Solution to distinguish the rows... logic blocks.

<!-- IF {FORUMS_TOPICS_ROW_ICON} = 'skins/sed-light/img/system/posts_hot.gif' -->
blabla

<!-- ENDIF -->

It will allow you to change the whole row look and feel :P

Now I think that thing you want might be written in a plugin, I'll check this out.

and what do you expect? everything on golden plate?

Team is working their a*** off, most of members are on holidays and I believe that you learned on Neocrome that guys will help you - but only when you show that you made some effort (like started coding, but you got stuck because you don't know how to hide sticky posts when you already made them appear separated above the forum, which is btw something i did last night).

You never made any effort, you only kept asking 3 questions again, again and again.

So far, you could have learned a bit of php and sql and try to do it, so when you're stuck on SPECIFIC problem, ask someone here to help you out.

NHF, I don't want to argue, but that's just my point of view.

No efford? I for sure know I have put more money into this than most of you !! And you come and claim here without any knowledge what so ever and tell me i don't?

Have you ever heard me to ask anything in return for my 200+ eu donations I have made in total across the years for Neocrome and Cotonti? So 3 questions for 200 Eu while i could have asked one of the many php communities for 10eu to write me a plugin so thats the worst 200 Eu's ever spend if the Cotonti DEV TEAM & COMMUNITY can't even answer/help me with the 3 most simple questions ever here. Show's how self fed most of you are.

And does it seem to you I have PHP knowledge? This is for sure the last time I ask for anything here with the useless crap you keep posting. I would like to ask friendly for an admin/mod to delete/close my account and wish the Cotonti team the best of luck I for sure won't recommend Cotonti to anybody anymore nor will I be making any more donations in the future.

1. Don't talk about money cuz you also don't know how much any of members invested/donated/paid :-)

2. I talked about effort you put in this corehack/plugin/modification, not the effort you put in the community or something else.

3. No, I haven't heard you asking for anything in return for your 200+ donations. They are called donations, aren't they? :-)

4. This is the thing between my point of view, and yours. You don't have to generalize everyone here and call them self fed just because I am.

5. When i first started with Seditio, I didn't have any PHP or MYSQL knowledge. I'm not saying that I'm master of PHP now, but I can do some small PHP modifications on my Sed site. I mainly learned because the lack of support, but thank god Lombi, Kilandor, Trustmaster, oc, Stam and other members were kind enough to point me in the right direction.

There is no need for deleting your account, this site is big enough for the two of us.

I don't know why you feel insulted, I was just referring you to the right direction because as you might have noticed, no one else offered you a solution :-)
