I have a string in my main index that looks like this:
if (is_sticky()) { echo " id='sticky' "; } echo ">";What this does is post info like a "Sticky" in a format like the thread of a forum at the very top of the list. It does this for every category that the "Sticky" applies to.
Instead, I want the sticky to be placed in a table that is 1 row with 4 columns. The 1 row and 4 columns are used for data and should look like 4 boxes side by side which contain the data that is called by the "Sticky" string. Then below these 4 boxes is the regular data that looks like forum threads. I just don't want the "Sticky" to be at the TOP of the forum posts, rather I want them separated and on their own.
Here is the entire main index to show you what I am working with:
<?php
require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/form_process.php';
get_header( );
include_classified_form( );
?>
<div class="content">
<ul id="catnav">
<li<?php if ( is_home() ) { echo " class=\"current-cat\""; } ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" ><?php _e('Latest Listings','cp'); ?></a></li>
<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=0&hide_empty=true&orderby=name&order=asc&title_li='); ?>
<li><div class="clear"></div></li>
</ul>
<?php if ( is_category() && function_exists('bcn_display')) { ?>
<div class="subnav">
<small><?php if(function_exists('bcn_display')) { bcn_display(); } ?></small>
</div>
<?php } ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>My thinking is that I should just make another class selector and place the html code where I want the table to appear and when the server reads the "sticky" string, it will just place (echo) the data to the correct location on the web page.
I just can't find any examples on the web to back up my theory and I can't get it to work correctly no matter what I do.
Can anyone here give me some help.
