 * this is my face shocked! :0
 * To see people in here using hooks and filters, and then hacking core code to 
   complete the fix…. yea, thats not a solution.
 * We are adding code like this, but for some reason its repeating itself 5 times(
   which you are able to see because I placed a cursor that displays)
 *     ```
       function my_sticky_option($column_name) {
       	global $post;
       	global $cursortemp;
       	if($cursortemp < 1) $cursortemp = 1;
       	else $cursortemp = $cursortemp + 1;
   
       	if ($post->post_type == 'ad_listing'): ?>
       	<fieldset class="inline-edit-col-right">
       		<div class="inline-edit-col">
       			<label class="alignleft">
       				<input type="checkbox" name="sticky" value="sticky" />
       				<span class="checkbox-title"><?php _e('Featured Ad (sticky)', 'wp'); echo 'c'.$cursortemp; ?></span>
       			</label>
       		</div>
       	</fieldset>
       <?php
       	endif;
       }
   
       add_action('quick_edit_custom_box', 'my_sticky_option');
       ```
   
 * trying now to find a solution to that problem…

 * wow, that was quick, thanks wordpress codex for the help! lol.
 * there was an easy lookup function to make sure it only adds the custom input 
   field. Note that this code will ad “sticky posts” functionality to wordpress 
   until they release a version that supports sticky on custom post types.
 *     ```
       function my_sticky_option() {
       	global $post;
   
       	//if post is a custom post type and only during the first execution of the action quick_edit_custom_box
       	if ($post->post_type == 'custom_post_type' && did_action('quick_edit_custom_box') === 1): ?>
   
       	<fieldset class="inline-edit-col-right">
       		<div class="inline-edit-col">
       			<label class="alignleft">
       				<input type="checkbox" name="sticky" value="sticky" />
       				<span class="checkbox-title"><?php _e('Featured Ad (sticky)', 'my_plugin'); ?></span>
       			</label>
       		</div>
       	</fieldset>
       <?php
       	endif;
       }
       //add the sticky option to the quick edit area
       add_action('quick_edit_custom_box', 'my_sticky_option');
       ```

 * no, you should just be able to use “posts” or “pages” I believe and it will push
   the changes into normal posts and pages.

 * Hi Im working on classipress 3.1.6 and Im using this plugin as a widget I wonder
   would be posible used as slider on every category but only to pickup the category.
 * LIke if you are watching the cars category only display on the slider the featured
   ads from cars category and the same for each category?
 * The same work as default, but using only like the slider (carrousel), not a widget
   on siderbar..
 * Can you help?

 * ClassiPress doesn’t have a widget area that works near the slider carousel, and
   this plugin on works as a widget. I don’t think its going to accomplish what 
   your looking for until ClassiPress creates more widget areas.
