Emediate Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 I am having trouble with this app. When I edit the admin page, uncheck the All Forums box, hit save, when I come back to the page it's still checked. I'm trying to essentially turn off the Seperate & Collapse feature, but am unable to. It remains checked. OH ... i did not see this via the Admin Marketplace page: Quote IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This plugin was created to extend functionality provided by @newbie LAC's existing (NB40) Separate Pinned Topics plugin and therefore requires that you have already purchased and use that plugin. Do not purchase this plugin if you are not already using the above plugin. Only now saw it when coming to report a bug. I already uninstalled the NB40 plugin, as it was not compatible with 4.6. And of course, now I've paid for this and can't install NB40 anymore! 😞

Nathan Explosion Posted July 23, 2022 Author Posted July 23, 2022 I am currently working on the next version of this - the feature being added is the ability to reorder the pinned topics in a forum. If anyone has any requests for new features for this resource, now is the time to pipe up.
OptimusBain Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Good day @Nathan Explosion I just purchased the application. Is there a way to display the pinned topics unfolded by default? They are folded. Thanks
Nathan Explosion Posted November 25, 2022 Author Posted November 25, 2022 Thanks for the purchase. I can probably put a setting in to allow you control the default state of the pinned topics section - will look for the next version. OptimusBain 1

Having a radio button to toggle it on/off will help anyone who wants it one way or the other. Thanks a lot!
OptimusBain Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Quick question @Nathan Explosion about the pinned topics? What will happen with paging navigation if there are more than 25 pinned topics? Will there be paging navigation within the pinned topics? I am asking because I want to add quite a few and I want to know what is the behaviour of the application where there are so many. Thanks a lot. Edited November 25, 2022 by OptimusBain
Nathan Explosion Posted November 25, 2022 Author Posted November 25, 2022 Nothing different to the way that pinned topics work in general, other than the separation/collapsing functionality added by the app. You'll get page 2 of the forum's topics, with the pinned ones on that page at the top of the listing in the same way as the pinned topics that are on page 1 are shown.
OptimusBain Posted December 5, 2022 Posted December 5, 2022 @Nathan Explosion I trust you had a great weekend. I wanted to ask you whether something is possible with the Pinned Topics. There is something VERY annoying with how pinned topics. The data displayed in the streams and list of topics DOES NOT correspond to the LAST comment made in the topic. It's annoying because my community focused on the last updates of the topics. So as a user who sees the PINNED topics, you want to see the latest comment, not the original ones made like 2 years ago 😞 Do you think there is a possibility to make this change? Is that possible? Thanks
Nathan Explosion Posted December 5, 2022 Author Posted December 5, 2022 Sorry, but no - this resource is intended to provide a separation and/or collapsing of the pinned topics in a forum. It's not not intended to change the information displayed about the topic, and nor will it be changed to do so. OptimusBain 1

Nathan Explosion Posted March 20, 2023 Author Posted March 20, 2023 v3.0.0 is currently pending approval NEW Added functionality to provide the ability to reorder pinned topics in forums. The feature is available to users with the "Can reorder pinned topics?" moderator permission The order of topics is specific to each forum - if using the "Fluid" view of forums, this will have its own pinned topic order unrelated to the configured order of topics contained within sub-forums. Added a "Default state" setting which controls whether the pinned topics section will be expanded or collapsed by default. CHANGES Minor language string updates Emediate 1
Michael Collins Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Hi @Nathan Explosion, I am trying to use the reorder pinned topics functionality. However, when I press the "Reorder pinned topics" button in the forum nothing seems to happen. Can you give me some advice? I tested with the default theme.
Nathan Explosion Posted June 27, 2023 Author Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Can you provide screenshots of your currently configured settings for the application, please? Edited June 27, 2023 by Nathan Explosion
Michael Collins Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Screenshots attached. Let me know if you need anything else.
Nathan Explosion Posted June 29, 2023 Author Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Great, thanks - did a quick test and reproduced. It's all down to ONLY having the re-ordering functionality enabled - didn't envisage that someone would exclusively use that when I put it in, as everyone previously using the resource would have been using either the "Separate" or "Separate & collapse" functionality. Leave it with me, I'll have a think about how to exclusively allow reorder only. Edited June 29, 2023 by Nathan Explosion
Nathan Explosion Posted June 29, 2023 Author Posted June 29, 2023 Done in dev - will test it over the next few days and release an update once done.
Nathan Explosion Posted July 2, 2023 Author Posted July 2, 2023 v3.1.0 is currently pending approval NEW added the ability to reorder pinned topics without requiring the "Separate" or "Separate and collapse" functionality to be enabled. Michael Collins 1
