XF 2.2 How to feature a thread in a widget on the sidebar?

[wwillson]

I want to feature a thread from a sponsor in a widget on the sidebar. The point is to bring users eyes to the fact that they have a chance to ask the sponsor a question about their product.

Thanks for your help.

Good answer above, but alternatively I might just create an html widget with whatever text, links or images as a kind of ad for the sponsor

This add-on supports prefixes so you could create a widget with # of threads 1, with prefix "sponsored".

It also supports stickies and specific forum nodes so you could stick it and pick it as well.

Ah yes, of course.
My solution would just be more automated for next time.
