2c) setting the sorting of global threads (right now I have them set to the time of creation instead of lastpost)

Any idea as to when we might see the next version? I have it installed and it's working great, but need to exclude a few forums on my board.

Oops, I've had the exclude option for awhile now, but been pretty busy lately so haven't done the other things.

I have released a newer version with the option to exclude forums.

is there any way to set only 5 posts universal?

[xadoa]

how come, when i create the global thread on the forum that should be only "someone" able to create the thread and everyone one else able to read and reply to that thread.. but once I do that, everyone can't read the thread either.. is there away to fix this? .. global thread is the thread that not everyone should be able to create.

I set the permission on the forum itself, but the thread can't be read even thought i set that usergroup able to read forum,thread,others,reply.,,etc.. still not working

thank you

Just set the "Registered Users" usergroup to NOT be able to "Post new topics" -or- you can set the forum settings to Moderate New Threads, I suppose that could work as well.

Could you have so it doesn't showup if you set usergroup permissons to view thread and forum to NO.

Right now they can see the thread and highlight it to see the 1st post but if they click on it they will get access denied.

Great add on. However, any chance of adding the option to 'include' particular forums as against excluding particular ones.

I have over 120 forums (built up over 10 years) and only need the global threads in one or two other forums. Can there be an option to select the include or exclude option?

[adonfun]

Great mod!!

Is it 3.6.4 compatible?

It was very simple as long as you're using the Separate Sticky/Normal threads hack. Just had to re-code your merge plugin and the Forum Display template.

If you want have the other hack installed and you want to make yours look like mine do the following:

Open ForumDisplay template
Find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Replace with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

In the Plugin (Merge Global Threadbits with Threadbits)
Replace the entire plugin with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Add a phrase called: delim_global
With the following:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Lastly, add a template called FORUMDISPLAY_Separate_global
With the following:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This doesn't add the little globe image I have, if you want that, PM me.

I've Tried many times trying to mod the plugin part of your excellent mod but i'm unable to can you supply me with a premoded one?

Best Regards

It doesn't work for me.
