'Sticky' portal feature?

[Craig Humphriess]

Hello,

After reading your forums and checking out your demo site, I'm now convinced that Xenforo would be an ideal forum setup for my website. However, I'd love to know if there's any add-on that can do the following:

Is there any cms add-on for Xenforo, which can provide a date ordered blog of articles on the home page, but also provide the ability to 'sticky' one or more of those articles at the top of the list? A bit like a forum sticky I guess...

Hope that make sense.

Craig.

Yeah I was just making sure no one has done it already as I am coding it now.

better double check in the xenporta thread(s), etc.

That's going overboard.
I only said double check.

hahhah Well i have modified the two modules to now work. I have recent news 1 and 2 . Module 1 pulls all threads except sticky and module 2 pulls only sticky. Now Module two when you click sticky it stays at the top and only accepts one sticky post on the homepage. All i had to do was adjust the sql queries. Also this is for 1.5.2 version of xenporta. I can post the modules if someone needs them.

Also i am not caching the stickys but you can if you want. Also duplicate content is not repeated as the post can be in one or the other.

You could write a module that appears before the "Latest News" ... and that would effectively sticky your item.

That is the quickest and easiest way to do it.
