Customizing discussion default sorting

pedrorezende

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to upgrade a small customization I made on the discussion list sorting to be handled correctly by the stable Flarum version.

Previously I had the following snippet that was doing the job just fine:

// extend.php
$events->subscribe(FilterDiscussionList::class);

use Flarum\Discussion\Event\Searching;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher;

class FilterDiscussionList 
{
    public function subscribe(Dispatcher $events) 
    {
        $events->listen(Searching::class, [$this, 'myBeautifulFunctionHandler']);
    }

    public function myBeautifulFunctionHandler(Searching $event)
    {
        $ADMIN_BOT_ID = 1;
        $query = $event->search->getQuery();
        if (count($event->search->getActiveGambits()) > 0) {
            return;
        }

        $query->where('last_posted_user_id', '<>', $ADMIN_BOT_ID);
    }
}

I read that Searching has been replaced by SimpleFlarumSearch but I couldn't find any example on how to extend this new class. Could anyone help me on how to do that?

pedrorezende Have you taken a look at https://docs.flarum.org/extend/search.html#searching?

Essentially, you want to register a search and/or filter mutator (probably a filter mutator) that applies the changes you want. I'd reference the sticky extension for an example.
