I still find the current interpretation of “sticky” as being “separated out” too narrow – “featured” or “flagged” articles seem, to me at least, to be good uses for sticky articles and is immediately understood by clients. The ability to use
status="sticky,live"would allow one to interpret it either way.
In the old versions of txp (was it 4.0.4 and earlier?) stickies were much easier to handle. i agree with you that the comma delimited list would be so much more flexible. If more people agree and someone knows how to provide a patch for this I guess that a feature idea might roll things on.

Re: sticky
colak,
I’m glad you found a solution but I’m still sure you could achieve what you want with smd_query.
I think me (and Bloke) have contributed to over-complicate things imagining a more complex scenario.
Probably you’ll stick with the workaround you found but just in case you have time and will to experiment you should try using my second example.
By the way, I noticed that in the first error you posted it complains you haven’t created a “my_form” form (of course you can choose an arbitrary name here).

redbot, I saw that error and ‘corrected it’, (it was a typo during the creation of the form). I agree that there is a way using smd_query but my knowledge of mysql is extremely limited to none and I felt that I was using a lot of time from the people here so I opted to go the way I knew that it would work. It’s not perfect but have no complaints.
