What a nice surprise, didn't expect whole solution. Thank you very much!
Subcategory reordering
-
Hi,
I have a category which will have a lot of (1000+) subcategories. By default, subcategories are ordered by creation date, but I'd like to order them by last active.
After some research I've found this plugin. But after installation, I can't see any settings related to this plugin. I'm using the latest nodebb version (1.7.0).
-
Update: Now, after many hours, the plugin's setting is finally there, but it doesn't work.
-
Hey there -- subcategories can be re-ordered like any other category, by clicking and dragging them into place via the coloured icon left of the name

@julian & @PitaJ
Thanks for your answers. I'd like the subcategories to be reordered automatically by last activity. In the long run, it'll be hundreds (possibly thousands) of subcategories and it would be hell to manually reorder them.Thanks again.
There is a wide variety of plugins/extensions you can install from the NodeBB Store. Or you can create yours; learn Node.js at CodeCademy

@arso1er when you have hundreds or thousands of sub-categories, my first thought is that you should probably be using tags instead. Have you thought about that?
I don't think there's a way to automatically sort subcategories by last activity at the moment.
-
There may have been at once point in time (for example, the plugin linked in OP), though my guess is it's no longer maintained or needs some TLC
-
I'll let them at is for now. When I have more time I might try to come up with something.
By the way, I've launched a personal project of mine with nodebb as forum.
I'll post about it in the appropriate topic. -
@arso1er the plugin should be fixed for latest version of NodeBB.

Hi. I just saw your answer @baris
I've updated my nodebb and the plugin. I've done some tests and it's working great so far.
Thanks a lot to the team for your hard work. You rock!
