Prioritized Featured Links in Top Listings

[VSDan]

This mod will list Featured Links above other links in New Listings, Popular Listings, and Top Rated Listings.

Open index.php, and change:

Content visible to registered users only.

to:

Content visible to registered users only.

Notes:

1. Yours may look at little different as my index.php is modified.

2. Ignore case 'r' block if you are not using the Rating mod.

Hey Dan, you have a demo up?

Thanks

[VSDan]

You bet - you can go here to see it in action:

New Listings | Popular Listings | Top Rated

...any one of these will show that Featured Listings display first ahead of others. Not for everyone, but I wanted Featured Listings to show up first across the board.

[Steven Myers]

This feature works only showing the featured link on the category you choose it to be on. Is there a way to get the featured link to show up on ALL of the pages, including the main page?

Thanks

Do we have a mod for this on 3.05?

I want to get the featured links on the main page like this <--- look at the bottom.

[Nerz]

Ya id like to get it working for 3.06 so the featured links are showing in the top rated, top hits etc...say with a maximum of 5 random featured links.

I was able to get this to work for 3.1.

Question: The featured listings are blended in with the regular listings.
Example: /index.php?list=latest

Anyone have a suggestion on how I can get the featured links in the "Latest links" and "Top links" to display like this:
/Shopping/ on top of the other regular links?

This will make the advantages of having a featured link more visible to visitors and potential advertisers.

Anyone know how to accomplish this?

How to get this work with v3.1 ??
I cant find the following code ...

Content visible to registered users only.

[jminscoe]

Do I add it where I have this
case 'latest':
$links = $db->GetAll ("SELECT * FROM `{$tables['link']['name']}` WHERE `STATUS` = '2' {$expire_where} ORDER BY `DATE_ADDED` DESC LIMIT 0, ".LINKS_TOP);
$path[] = array ('ID' => '0', 'TITLE' => _L('Latest Links'), 'TITLE_URL' => '', 'DESCRIPTION' => '');
break;
case 'top':
$links = $db->GetAll ("SELECT * FROM `{$tables['link']['name']}` WHERE `STATUS` = '2' {$expire_where} ORDER BY `HITS` DESC LIMIT 0, ".LINKS_TOP);
$path[] = array ('ID' => '0', 'TITLE' => _L('Top Hits'), 'TITLE_URL' => '', 'DESCRIPTION' => '');
break;
