Mod to group stickies together on discussion topic pages (by AaronWebstey).

peregrine · January 2015

I've modified my version of this plugin so that you can choose to 'Group all forum-level Stickies together on Discussion Topic Pages'. This plugin kicks ass, but looked a bit weird for me since each of my 2 or 3 announcements had their own date label. Use at your own risk; it's only been tested a bit by myself and I think @peregrine‌ is about done with my incessant ranting about this plugin.

Excuse the blanked-out titles, as well as the 'stickies' instead of 'announcements' text. It will show up as 'announcements' for you if you have not messed with locale.php like I have.

Peregrine is not responsible for these changes and Aaron is supporting you on these changes.

here are @AaronWebstey's code snippets.

here are your code snippet changes.

change the datejumper-settings.php and insert this among the other settings.

         <li>
                <?php
                echo $this->Form->CheckBox('Plugins.DateJumper.GroupAnnouncements', "Group all forum-level " . T('Announcements') . " together on Discussion Topic Pages (show only one Date Jumper Label '" . T('Announcements') . "')");
                ?>
            </li>

in class.datejumper.plugin.php

change

this to

         $ConfigurationModel->SetField(array(
                    'Plugins.DateJumper.ShowInDiscussions',
                    'Plugins.DateJumper.ShowInComments'
          ));

to this:

 $ConfigurationModel->SetField(array(
            'Plugins.DateJumper.ShowInDiscussions',
            'Plugins.DateJumper.GroupAnnouncements',
            'Plugins.DateJumper.ShowInComments'
    ));

and this

   private function DisplayDiscussionDateHeading($Sender) {
        $Discussion = $Sender->EventArguments["Discussion"];

        static $KeepDate;

to this:

private function DisplayDiscussionDateHeading($Sender) {
    $Discussion = $Sender->EventArguments["Discussion"];

    if (C('Plugins.DateJumper.GroupAnnouncements', FALSE)) {
        static $x=1;
        if(GetValue('Announce', $Discussion) == 1) {
            if($x < 2) {
              echo wrap(wrap(T("Announcements"), 'span', array('class' => "DiscussionDateSpacer")), 'li');
            }
            $x++;
            return;     
        }
    }
    static $KeepDate;
