What is necessary to have a Top Today for published and for submitted news? (http://forums.pligg.com/suggestions/...s-sidebar.html)

A suggestion how to add the submitted news of that day to the current list in Top Today would also be fine!

Any ideas?

If I would know the place of the SQL query I could try it on my own.

After a lot of trial and error I´ve found the solution:

The important file/function is /libs/sidebarstories.php. It allows just 'all'. 'queued' or 'published'. So you have to build a clone of Top Today for Queued Today.

So I copied sidebar_stories_u.php in the same folder and renamed it as sidebar_stories_new.php (the name is up to you).

Then I´ve copied the following code form sidebar_stories_u.php above if(isset($_REQUEST['category']))

$ss->filterToStatus = "queued";
$ss->link = getmyurl("upcoming");

For some reason now you have to be as specific with sidebar_stories_u.php. So write at the same place there

$ss->filterToStatus = "published";
$ss->link = my_base_url.my_pligg_base;

Next step is to replace PLIGG_Visual_Top_Today in sidebar_stories_new.php. Normally, you would have to define a new variable in libs/lang.conf. Since I don´t use sidebar_stories anymore I´ve 'recycled' and renamed PLIGG_Visual_Pligg_Queued.

Next step is to announce the file to your template. You go to /templates/yget/sidebar.tpl and add

{assign var=sidebar_module value="sidebar_stories_new"}{include file=$the_template_sidebar_modules."/wrapper.tpl"}

In /templates/yget/sidebar_modules you copy sidebar_stories_u.tpl and rename it as sidebar_stories_new.tpl. Inside the file, you change 'u' to 'new'.

That´s it!

The only thing that is still unclear to me is how I get piggy2727´s word shortening code (http://forums.pligg.com/pligg-mods/7...html#post57683) into /libs/sidebarstories.php!
