Kylo It's updated in freeflarum and it works great, much more easy to configure and use with this little menu, congrats!

For future updates, I wonder if this behavior (= a sticky-tag thread works like any other thread in the all discussion tab) should not be also the behavior of the sticky-tag threads have when they appear in their parent tag.

For instance:

  • Let's say I have a "ARTS" tag, and inside it I have sub-tags for each art ("PAINTING", "MOVIES", "LITERATURE", etc.).
  • I put a sticky-tag thread in the "LITERATURE" tag only (for instance: "where to find books online").
  • With the recent update, I can then check the "LITERATURE" box only (the thread will appear first in the "LITERATURE" tag, hidden in "ARTS" tag", and working like any other thread in "ALL DISCUSSION" tab)
  • Or i can check the two boxes (it will then appear first in the "LITERATURE" tag, first in the "ARTS" tag", and working like any other thread in "ALL DISCUSSION" tab).

Maybe it would be more logical than, in the parent tag (here the "ART" tag), the thread would also appear, but working like any other thread (like it does currently in "ALL DISCUSSION" tab). The result will be, when checking only the "LITERATURE" box : the thread appears first in the "LITERATURE" tag, works like any other thread in the "ARTS" tag", and works like any other thread in "ALL DISCUSSION" tab).

It's more a question than a suggestion, because I'm not sure what option in the best.

      I'm having a problem when I try to enable the extension it turns on and off and wont stay activated.

        TB54 summing up -- you're suggesting that secondary tag stickies should also be listed in primary tags as "regular discussions". Well this can be arranged, I might add this feature on 3.0.1 👌 But I need to think about how should I implement this though, feels like maintaining this extension getting complicated on every other release 💁

        typ1k it's probably the foreign key issue.

        Kylo check if the engine for the tags table is InnoDB or not. If not, try switching that to the InnoDB then run and try activating again:

        -- make sure you have that db backup.

        DELETE FROM `migrations` WHERE `migration` = '2021_07_04_000003_set_default_settings' AND `extension` = 'the-turk-stickiest';
        php flarum migrate:reset --extension the-turk-stickiest
        DROP TABLE `discussion_sticky_tag`;
        php flarum migrate

                Kylo you're suggesting that secondary tag stickies should also be listed in primary tags as "regular discussions". Well this can be arranged, I might add this feature on 3.0.1

                this would be great! Now it is not shown on "all discussions" if there is a new post.
                Thx for the last update with this nice menu! makes it even more simple 🙂

                    tom23 Now it is not shown on "all discussions" if there is a new post.

                    You should be able to see them (but they won't act like a sticky) if you checked that "show tag stickies in all discussions" option from the settings?

                        Bug?
                        If i change the tag of a stickiest post it does not appear anymore.

                          Yolo is it a sticky or a tag sticky discussion? I mean, are you changing the tags of a tag stickied discussion or changing the tags of a stickied discussion? If it is a tag sticky, are you changing the discussion's tags or its tag sticky tags? Could you provide steps to reproduce?

                            Yolo okay I just saw that

                            • Fix tag stickied discussions goes missing when you change their tags.

                              Possibility of sticking for a period? Eg ;
                              Stick for 24 hours, 7days, 30 days etc?

                                One may want to stick threads for a certain period, eg during popular events.

                                  @'Kylo', thanks for the extension!

                                  Can you tell me a way to display a supersticky discussion excerpt via li class='item-excerpt'?

                                  It's this extension which is used on flarum.org ? Because I don't see readed sticky post topic on the main page.

                                    llaumgui no, we use the normal bundled sticky extension. Stickiest allows keeping posts stickies once read.

                                        after upgrading to 3.0.x the original screenshot (in 1st post) is not visible. It is changed.
                                        also while making a topic, tag-sticky, earlier a prompt used to come up, now the screen freezes for a while and nothing happens

                                        5 months later

                                        I installed the application "extension/flarum-sticky" and enabled flarum-sticky, I also installed "extension/the-turk-stickiest" using require the-turk/flarum-stickiest:V3. 0.1

                                        Does running 2 utilities at the same time conflict?

                                        Please give me a perfect solution.

                                        Thank

                                        in my case the post will be stickiest only when the list display is by newestly responded, is this normal?
