Malfunction! When activated, the front end of Flarum crashes!

FriendsOfFlarum Add an option to add FrontPage as the default sort order on the index page.

When will this feature be added?

Well done @Ralkage and thank you to @luceos

Is this a way to permanently stick a discussion at top, but only in the "All Discussions" page? It's not very clear, honestly 🤔

Ralkage

matteocontrini this extension is designed with the intention that in the near future, a feature will be added where you can make the default sort order only list those discussions marked as “FrontPage” by setting the default home page to this custom filter 🙂

This is not a “Super Sticky” extension.

matteocontrini

Ralkage got it, thanks 🙂

iCosmo

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

Hari discussions marked as FrontPage will set a column added to the discussions table by this extension called frontpage to true or 1 in this case for that specific discussion. This extension also adds a new filter to the discussion list filter drop-down in which if you select "FrontPage" from the Discussions filter, it'll display all discussions that you "pushed" to the "frontpage". You also get a nifty badge like Sticky gives discussions when you mark them as stickied 🙂

Hari for example, i can add pinned posts as (front page) and mark sticked discussions in it. so the user can view all sticked discussions by selecting pinned from the latest selection area?

It will only show discussions "Marked as FrontPage" and sort them by descending order based on the timestamp of when they were pushed to the FrontPage.

Edit: Also, see Ralkage

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

composer update fof/fontpage

Hope not to look too pedantic, but there's an R missing, I guess.

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.

collins do the screenshots not provide a visual guide? 😃

Also, see my previous reply: Ralkage

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