CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

[Robby]

Do the threads have an expiry date or are they set to be featured indefinitely?

They have an expiry date. Tested it with weeks, days hours but nothing shows up.

 

[Paul B]

Are you running 2.0?

Do you have any outdated templates?

 

[CTXMedia]

Also, have you ticked the option to show the expired data?

 

[Robby]

Yes ticked the option, running 2.0 and no outdated templates.
Nothing of that kind is showing up.

 

[Paul B]

If you can provide an ACP login I can take a look.

I haven't heard of anyone else having issues with the expiry date - it has worked on every install so far.

 

[Paul B]

You haven't checked the SP for both the blocks and page:


I have just checked both for both styles and the expiry is now showing.

 

[Robby]

Thank you very much.
It shows now.

 

[Paul B]

Would the ability to show featured threads of all child forums in a parent forum be of any interest?
It adds one additional query so it would be an option.

Like it as an option!

 

[Robby]

Yeah would be GreatGreat

 

[Robby]

Can you put the featured thread page as homepage?

 

[Paul B]

Yes, the instructions are in the resource body.

 

[Paul B]

These are the two new options then:


The default "Display in own forums" is the current behaviour.

 

[CTXMedia]

I like the "Display in all forums" - that should help to get more eyes on things like important forum announcements, updates, etc.

Not sure about others, but my membership can somehow manage, en-masse, to completely miss new threads in my announcements forum!

Uh, when I click "buy now" it tells me I don't have permission to view? What the heck?

XenForo Community - Error
You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.

I'm trying to get a featured thread plugin.

 

[Paul B]

I will start a conversation with you @Carlos.

 

[Carlos]

I will start a conversation with you @Carlos.

Alright. Waitin' up.

 

[Carlos]

Forgive me, I'm new to this...

So, do I have to make new prefix to get Featured Threads working?

I only want to show one thread across the entire site.

 

[Paul B]

You need to set up the options, permissions and style properties: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/cta-featured-threads.2599/

Then just feature a thread using the inline or dropdown tools.

 

[Carlos]

Alright, thanks for the help. I got it workin'!

Now, to get it workin' in all pages except it's own featured thread page.

So, just to reiterate; if I make it so that an administrator can feature threads, does that mean that everyone else can, too? Just to be sure.
