I was wondering if it was possible to make an article sticky. What I mean is when the user sees the front page- the newest stories are displayed under a sticky static story.
thanks!
There is no off-the-shelf implementation for this, but a simple suggestion is to use the extra_fields (link_fields I guess) to store the sticky status and in you tpl file modify to query the fields that has this extra field set first before a normal query (you should also modify it to filter off sticky links)
Just a suggestion.
you could always implement the featured story mod like I have on my site terrafite / Popular you could probably add as many of those as you like, although it's a workaround, it's a start.

take a look at terrafite / Popular all I did was make a copy of the php code in the featured_story_index.tpl and paste it underneath the other. I would imagine you can do this for any number of articles you want to be sticky.
just copy this:
{php}
require_once(mnminclude.'link.php');
$link = new Link;
// Edit this line here to change the story
// to figure out what number a story is, hover your mouse over the votebox for the story
// you'll see javascript:vote(A, B, C, 'D', E)
// the 2nd number (B) will be the number you enter below
// a better version of this module will come with Pligg V1.0
$link->id=40;
$link->read();
$link->print_summary('summary');
{/php}<br>
and paste it right under the first article, if you want more, just keep pasting. at least this is the solution that worked for me.
