Hi I accidentally uninstalled the plugin.

When I reinstalled, the button does not show up, anywhere

What could be the problem??

Hello,

Just bought the plugin.  I browsed to a forums topic and clicked Add.  The topic was added to my Featured Topics sidebar just fine, but the notification that came up (the black background language string that pops up at the top of the screen to tell you your topic was successfully added or whatever) was blank.

Also, a couple of suggestions:

  • Right now, the add/delete from Topic Sidebar buttons are labelled simply "add" and "delete."  If non-admins are allowed to add and delete topics from the sidebar, these buttons are a bit vague and the other users might not know offhand what is being added or deleted from.  What if the buttons provided a bit more information, like "Add to <Featured Topics> (or whatever the widget is called)", or "Add to topic sidebar"?
  • I think it would be really cool if there were an option to list topics as you've currently set them up, but with truncated text so that users see the first few words of a first post, etc., which could entice them to read the rest.

Look forward to using it!

Each button has a title attribute

You can change this as you want.

Where is this list?

In the sidebar widget the first (or the last) post content will be displayed you setup it in plugin settings

My mistake...I missed the alt text for the buttons.  And I didn't notice that when you select to view first post, it automatically truncates it after 6 lines.  that's what I get for not checking out the options :). Thanks!

Any information on 4.4 compatibility?

Works on 4.4.

Missing only new widget setting

Widget display settings
One of the most popular features we've added to the front end in recent times is the drag and drop widgets.

We see these used on almost every site we visit.

A popular request, though, was to be able to hide them from specific devices. By default, the sidebars appear under the main content when viewed on a smaller device such as a phone.

There may be times where you wish to show a block for those on tablets and desktops, but remove it for phones, so it doesn't take up precious retail space.

Happily, you can now do this on each block with 4.4.

Would it be possible implement the widget on a per forum basis? So that different topics can be chosen in each subforum. 

Display topics when user viewing forum or forum + topics?

Hello,

I am not sure I understand your question, sorry. 

My idea is if I have ForumA, ForumB, ForumC in each of them to have different widgets with different topics, coming from the relevant forum. So ForumA will have a sidebar topics widget containing TopicAA, TopicAB, TopicAC. ForumB will have sidebar topics widget with TopicBA, TopicBB, TopicBC and so on. 

Basically to use the widget for a replacement of pinned topics.

You can put the widget on topic page

Should the widget display topics from forum in which topic was created?
