Okay, so i've made some basic forums (features for lock, delete and such) but the one thing I need it to have is a sticky feature. Any ideas on how to work that into this code?  This is my genmessage.php:

 

 

<?php
include_once 'top.php';
?>

<html>
<title>TLS-3 Foums</title>


<body  bgcolor="#000000">

<td width="100%" height="133">

</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="30" bgcolor="#333333">
<font color="#FFFFFF" face="Bell MT, Bahtang, Helvetica"><? include 'bar.php'; ?></font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" bgcolor="555565">

or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($lol);
$tit = $row['title'];
echo '<table><tr><tr>';
echo $tit;

} 
?>

This isn't an example to be put in to your code but just an idea.  Have another field in your topics table called "sticky" or such, and treat it as a boolean.

 

Then do 2 queries on the topics page, one at the top which will just get all topics where sticky = 1, and then your normal topic posts under it (where sticky = 0).  You can use this process for announcements too :)

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
