composer remove velcis/super-sticky:0.1.x-dev

peopleinside This is because this extension is using the same variable naming scheme in its migrations as Flarum Sticky.

VelcisRibeiro you should either change the database variable names in the migration or use the conflict method in composer.json to avoid this extension installing if Flarum Sticky is still installed.

Kvothe

try

composer remove velcis/super-sticky

without the :0.1.x-dev

peopleinside

Kvothe Thanks, i will try to reminder next time. For now i resumed the backup i made before install the extension. I will be happy to use a super sticky extension when will be ready for work.

peopleinside

jordanjay29 Should exist a check that forbid install if something is wrong instead of broken things 😛 ( if is pobbile ) - suggestion -

jordanjay29

peopleinside That's what conflict does in composer. It tells composer "hey, these are the extensions this one doesn't work with, if those are installed, don't install me," so the dev can list flarum/sticky and composer will know not to install super sticky when Flarum Sticky is installed.

peopleinside

jordanjay29 So can be a suggestion to do in composer project?

Finally i was able to solve in Beta 8.1 just edit the line 73 of /vendor/flarum/sticky/src/Listener/PinStickiedDiscussionsToTop.php:

from: $query->union($sticky);
to array_unshift($query->orders, ['column' => 'is_sticky', 'direction' => 'desc']);

peopleinside thanks a lot for that :-)

works like a charme

peopleinside hey, it worked for 24hs, now sticky's are not on top anymore... seems this sollution does not stay permantly?

peopleinside

Brabus453 thank you for your message and feedback! On my community I was not able to see issue about this edit. Maybe the cause can be new post added outside of the sticky post or inside the sticky post? In my community there are not other user that create topics, etc.. so for me at the moment is working. Something should have caused the sticky post to not work.. are you able to try to understand what? Unfortunately I don't understand much of code.. I just tried to read this topic on Flarum, find where the fix can be done and find the right line... I don't like how sticky are working on Flarum and with this fix I am seeing how sticky should work in my opinion.. if sticky post loose his position than my fix is not fully working...

EDIT: I see the issue. If a new post are created the sticky one loose his position. If the page is refreshed the sticky take again the first position. I will try to look into this but difficult I will be able to fix.

Unable to fix: i tried also to replace all file and folders in the sticky folder extension with the super sticky files and folders. The issue persist, sorry... without the help of someone and the collaborations of the developers i cannot do much more.

The issue about new post get over sticky seems to be related to sticky of Flarum. Opened an issue flarum/core1751

Brabus453

peopleinside i will test, and check if i refresh if sticky stays on top.

now, i must say, i installed some extentions.... and removed some.... maybe it changed something in the sticky files?

peopleinside

Brabus453 If you look at the issue flarum/core1751 you can see there is an issue in the original Sticky so I believe we must wait a fix. Once fix will be released also the edit for super Sticky should work.

Brabus453

@peopleinside i tested, and again, sticky do not stay on top.

but i'm wondering, i isntalled extra extentions, and cleared cache...

maybe this is why they don't remain on top ?

peopleinside

Brabus453 you need wait a fix about pusher in Flarum.
The issue is not the fix i suggested, the issue is not in the Sticky extension ... is something related to pusher of Flarum.

You can understand better following the bug: flarum/core1751

alisonysy

Cannot install the extension...
When trying to open the github url, it shows 404...
Is the extension still working?

peopleinside

alisonysy No is not. The extension is not working with the last Flarum version this is why i mentionated a fix by editing Flarum code.

I don't like how sticky is working on Flarum so i want super sticky but is still opened a bug as mentionated in the previous post.

Hope there is a fix coming up. The flarum stickies are not really sticky 😆
