@yariplus Awesome! haha Thanks to you and @phit

@yariplus This is a really good idea, and the initial introduction says lots of things do not work and it is WIP, with that said, Is this still being developed.

I found an issues where only stuff you feature under news list works, if I create a new list and feature things in there, it does not display the featured articles, could be just my usage of it. I can see the my featured article in my new list in admin, but when you click the menu button, nothing displays. You can only see featured articles in the default list.

@letsdothis Absolutely still being developed!

If I'm understanding you correctly, this is intentional. Only the News list will appear on the home/front page. Any additional lists you make are featured in Widgets which you must place on a page from the admin=>extend=>widgets menu after creating the list.

When does the new update come in?

[yariplus]

@yari Unfortunately, I have little free time lately. Putting in a lot of overtime at my "real" job.

There is no page title set for /news page created by the page. It just shows the URL i.e https://mywebsite.com/news instead of any title.

How do I add a title?

[yariplus]

@ceezed Could you open an issue on GitHub?

[ceezed]

@yariplus sure

[Brophy]

Thanks @yariplus , but I'm still having the same issue as before (i thought it was due to being a on 1.8.x) where I cannot add anything to the 'feature new topics' part, I can type into it, but I get nothing to select and pressing save doesn’t do anything other than saying 'saved' in the right hand corner.

Do you need me to open an issue on github?

[yariplus]

This section is for entering category IDs like below.

This will make any future topics posted to these categories automatically featured.

You cannot feature an existing topic from this page. (most likely something I will add in the future)

To feature an existing topic right now, you have to go to the Topic Tools of that topic:

Hello @yariplus,

Is your plugin compatible with nodebb 1.10.1 ? I can't get widgets working on my site. Thanks in advance for your answer.

[yariplus]

@alfazaz Looks like widgets are broken in 1.10.1. Thanks for letting me know, I'll get it updated!
