I'm needing a way for a sticky topic to stay at the top of the portal on the front page.

Well, this same question has been asked numerous times. Try searching the forums...

What exactly are you trying to order with stickied topics at the top? Ie. Articles or blocks? If blocks, then which block type?

I need to keep one particular stickied topic at the top of the portal page.  It's pulled from a news thread.

So, I'm not trying to order the sticky topics, but I do need one to stay at the top of the portal.

I need to know if you are using Articles/Board News block/whatever you are using to show those topics.

Board News

Find the code below in your 'PortalBlocks.php' file, in the sp_boardNews function.

Code Select Expand

ORDER BY t.id_first_msg DESC

Replace with this code:

Code Select Expand

ORDER BY t.is_sticky DESC, t.id_first_msg DESC

It didn't work.

Did you empty your cache first?

[swtdivalove]

Yes, I even closed my browser and tried again.

[Eliana Tamerin]

Not browser cache. SMF 2 makes use of caching to cut down on bandwidth costs. Admin > Maintenance > Routine has the option to empty the forum cache.

[swtdivalove]

Yep... I did both, restarted browser and it is still not happening.

[swtdivalove]

No more ideas?

[Nathaniel]

That edit does work, its just that the find code occurs twice within the PortalBlocks.php file, you have to change both occurances.

Working like a charm now!  Thank you!
