There is a mod that allows you to make a topic "HOT" located at: http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=2131
I would like to know if someone (MattF or Smartys..uh um...) can assist me? What I am trying to do is to add an option in the Admin > Options area so that you can set it to whatever you wish to. For example the default setting is 50, but I want to be able to set it lower is I choose to. I would really appreciate any help here.
Thanks guys!

all you will need to do, is create it as a config option in the database, if you want add a field on the admin config part, then do the pun_cofig varibale. And clear the catch
I guess it would be easy if I knew how to code. Unfortunately I can't so this is why I am asking. 
I would help, but .. im too tired lol... ( happy new year 
) and im sure you can do it, if a 15 year old can
in admin_options.php:
</div>
</fieldset>
</div>
-----------------start----------------------
<div class="inform">
<fieldset>
<legend>Hot Topic Settings</legend>
<div class="infldset">
<table class="aligntop" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th scope="row">Hot topic post count</th>
<td>
<input type="text" name="form[hot_count]" size="5" maxlength="5" value="<?php echo $pun_config['o_hot_count'] ?>"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</fieldset>
</div>
----------------------end-------------------------
<div class="inform">
<fieldset>Start and end are so you know what tags to shimmy the code between. 
Placement exactly where in the admin_options file is upto you. Then, run this against the db:
INSERT INTO [db_prefix]config (conf_name, conf_value) VALUES ('o_hot_count', '50');Make sure to exchange [db_prefix] for your db prefix. 
Hi Matt,
I installed it but I am lost as to the code in the viewforum.php file.
// gleek edit
if ($cur_topic['num_replies'] >= 50)
{
$item_status .= ' ihot';
$icon_type = 'icon ihot';
}This is always set at 50 so it will never change even if I change it in the admin options. Any ideas?
Thanks
I think I got it. I added this:
// gleek edit
if ($cur_topic['num_replies'] >= $pun_config['o_hot_count'])
{
$item_status .= ' nhot';
$icon_type = 'icon nhot';
}Aye, that's correct. I thought I had forgotten to mention something.
Thanks Matt,
It works like a charm. Such a great addition for pun in my opinion.

Since when does age play any part in programming?
I took offense to it as a matter of fact, but I choose not to start my new year off in a bad way. I am 40 yrs old and can't code, so this obviously makes me stupid. I will probably have to ask my 16 year old son next time.
