Option which topics to show on main page

Anonymous43

Request which to show when access main page. Newest, latest, top, etc via Admin. Or which core file defines that, so I can edit manually.

Anonymous43 I believe you need to change both the frontend and backend.

In the frontend, it's assumed the first key in the sort map is the default, so it's the one that will not be added to the URL when selected. The sort map is defined in https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/v0.1.0-beta.16/js/src/forum/states/DiscussionListState.js#L38

The index 0 assumption is visible in some places like here https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/v0.1.0-beta.16/js/src/forum/components/IndexPage.js#L233

The default in the backend is defined in https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/v0.1.0-beta.16/src/Api/Controller/ListDiscussionsController.php#L49

There is also a copy of the sort options in https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/v0.1.0-beta.16/src/Forum/Content/Index.php#L102 but I don't think it impacts the default because if no sort parameter is passed to the content class, then an empty value is passed down to the controller which will select its own default.

I think there's also some special logic in the searcher to automatically change the default sort option when searching for discussions https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/v0.1.0-beta.16/src/Discussion/Search/Gambit/FulltextGambit.php#L60

The sort map in the frontend can be modified by using the override() extender. The default sort in the backend can be modified using the ApiController extender. I can't think of any example extension that already does it unfortunately.

I didn't have much time before, so I used htaccess redirect, which was fine. Now that I removed it, I had a chance to look at your reply closely. I think I've managed to make Newest posts load by default, because when I reply to oldest topic, they dont go up. Now, on a drop down menu, it still say Latest(but thats not true, and Im gonna leave it like that

Anyway, thanks man, for pointing in a right direction.
