Wordpress 3.1 - How does one add sticky post capabilities to post types

Question

In wordpress 3.1 they finally added the option of allowing posts belonging to a custom post type to be marked as "sticky"... what I can't figure out though is how to enable this so the admin menu option shows up.

I was thinking it might have something to do with the "supports" argument when the post type is defined in the functions.php file however I can't find any references.

Any I on how I can get these sticky options to show up in the admin area?

Answer 1

As noted in the trac ticket, you need to add that UI element in yourself. If you're still looking for it, I made a plugin to add custom post type sticky support, available here.

Answer 2

The feature was added then removed before the beta release. It was decided that custom post types should not support the sticky argument.
