Ralkage got it, thanks 🙂

Ralkage thinks 😃

Ralkage Wow, this idea is very good. It would be better if the default homepage has more layout styles.

Quick question.

Would it be possible to hook this into FoF Pages? In the sense that I would be interested in a custom "featured posts" page, which contains the posts marked for "front page" by this addin.

Hope that that makes sense! 🙂

Sorry, I think I may have encountered some problems.

Error booting Flarum: Class FoF\FrontPage\Listeners\AddFrontpage does not exist

My php version is 7.2

luceos

t00r make sure you installed the extension. Otherwise delete the vendor folder and run composer install again.

OrdinaryJellyfish

luceos nope, it's an actual error, I opened a PR 🤗

Ralkage

0.1.2

Capitalized "Page" in AddFrontPage.php (Thanks, @OrdinaryJellyfish, for noticing and submitting this PR!)

You'd figure PHPStorm would have picked this up.
You'd figure my eyes would have picked this up.
You'd figured my own local install would have picked this up.
But nope 😂

That's why it's always recommended to have a second pair of 👀 to look at your work every now and then.

Updating

composer update fof/frontpage

You know the drill folks!

t00r

Ralkage Thx!!! I solved it~

luceos

Ralkage developing on windows?

Ralkage

luceos yessir, would make the switch to Linux but most of what I do at home and at work constitutes constant Windows OS usage ⚰️

Edit: Just understood your Discord DM to me, so much for me being a Windows OS pleb and not knowing about case-sensitive development 🤦 🤣

New motto: "You live, you learn, you get RIGGITY REKT".

Ralkage

0.1.3

Added "Push to FrontPage" and "Pull from FrontPage" to DiscussionControls instead of PostControls because this extension pushes Discussions (NOT POSTS) to the "FrontPage" ❤️

Updating

composer update fof/frontpage

randomphp

So to understand this (Might be a dumb question)
Is this some kind of a "Featured Discussion"?

I think the name "FrontPage" confuses me

Ralkage

randomphp yes, this extension basically allows you to push/pull discussions from the new sort order option that is added. This is an extension revival, thus, tlc will be needed in all aspects. The reason why I didn't change the name of this extension entirely is because:

I want to respect the original dev's work.
I want people to know this is an extension revival and not a true "fork".
That I have plans to add the home page option that was mentioned in the original README.

When number 3 gets addressed and added, this extension would have served its true purpose which to put it simply is to say that it will act like a "controlled content" forum index view.

@Ralkage You are the best! i have been yearning for this extension for long!!! 😀

collins

Ehm.. how does this work?. what can i do to get it working correctly. any guides?

Ralkage

jordanjay29 Thanks @Ralkage but I struggle to get the concept unless this feature. It doesn't seem to do what it's actually meant for at the moment. Front page is supposed to work like this:

Hide all tags - This makes all topics on discussions view page disappear from "frontpage"
On any tag of interest, select a topic you which to sent to Front page and "Push it to front page"
The item should now appear on front page.
This way only relevant topics marked with Frontpage pin gets to the discussion views page

I hope i made some sense 😕
