Sticky topics allow forum topics to be listed at the top of a forum even if they don't have the most recent update.
|
To be able to use the sticky topics functionality you need to make sure the top page of the forum hierarchy has been designated as a forum root page. You will also need to have permission to set sticky topics. To make a topic 'sticky' click on the make sticky button under the tools menu for that page. If a page is already marked as being sticky, you can remove this property by clicking on the remove menu item in the same location. |

Once you've done that the alias is available in the menulink and compound-menuitem macros using something like this:
{compound-menuitem:forum-sticky}Apr 13, 2009

{compound-menuitem:set-sticky|caption=Set sticky topic} {compound-menuitem:remove-sticky|caption=Clear sticky topic}And it seems to be working on our site (note that we restrict the sticky links to space admins so you won't see the links). It's possible that you added two aliases for the "set sticky topic" link?

Thanks.

I am using the Clickr theme provided by Atlassian, and trying to figure out how enable the "Make Sticky" and "Remove sticky" options for this theme. It appears that all your documentation is based around the default confluence theme or the Theme builder plugin. Is this something that cannot be fixed in the Clickr theme?
Thanks

One solution might be to use the Clickr Layout in conjunction with the builder theme, you should then be able to alter it to include the links as suggested while retaining the look/feel of the clickr theme.
