[netweb]

None of the current importers include the ability to import a topics 'sticky status'

bbPress/BddyPress Group Forums

• 'Topic' (Default) bb_topics.topic_sticky = 0
• 'Sticky' bb_topics.topic_sticky = 1
• 'Stick to front' bb_topics.topic_sticky = 2

phpBB

• 'Topic' (Default) phpbb_topics.topic_type = 0
• 'Sticky' phpbb_topics.topic_type = 1

bbPress 2.x 'Sticky' Status stored in wp_postmeta eg.

meta_id	post_id	meta_key	meta_value
322139	139026	_bbp_sticky_topics	a:1:{i:0;i:139046;}

In above example '139026' = 'Parent Forum ID' and '139046' = 'Topic ID'

bbPress 2.x 'Super Sticky' Status stored in wp_options eg.

option_id	option_name	option_value	autoload
5468	bbp_super_sticky_topics	a :1:{i:0;i:139047;}	yes

In above example '5468' = ??? and '139046' = 'Topic ID'

These are the database table mappings for bbPress1.php

Above in 2126.diff I have not added callback_sticky_status as this is needed for all the converters to update wp_options and wp_postmeta.

I am not sure if this should be a callback_ in each converters own file or if this should be in converter.php either way I need someone else to write that or give me some pointers on how it should be done ;)
