Sticky Post Hack – 0.72

hey @hdstich, what kind of timeframe are we looking at, since you are being responsible and working for the man? ??

I have a sticky post plugin based on using the custom fields attribute in WP 1.2, trial version should be ready later today, just sorting a few bugs out. You can make posts sticky for any category or subcategory or for the main listing. You can unsticky them whenever you want.

sounds interesting! using a custom field is also an oppurtunity for marking the posts sticky.
@morydd:
hehe, just started the coding…

any way to make it sticky (forever) within a category page? for example, i’ve got X categories, each with a descriptive post (says what the category is all about) – would love to leave the ‘description’ up top forever, so that all news posts just continue to go below…right now, i have to keep changing the dates…kind of tedious…

how would you take andrew_h’s plugin (which is v1.2 compatible) and remove the postdate for the particular posts that you want to be sticky?
it looks like the answer to a similar question in this thread is for laughinglizard’s method…which is not yet 1.2 ready (actually, it involves playing with the database and i am too scared too do that right now, being just a cut ‘n paster).
