most popular posts of the forum

This is an enhancement request similar to the most popular topics...

Currently, when we click "popular" icon on the top, the popular page lists the topics with the most replies with these parameters: day / week / month / all time

We can have several options on the top of the popular page (TOPICS / POSTS) ... And "posts" button lists the most liked posts of the forum by keeping the same parameters (day / week / month / all time)...

The main objective is that the most liked posts are usually the one that is most useful or more likely to be useful, but there is no easy way to reach these posts in a regular forum setting. This will likely increase the overall interaction in the forum and especially in the topics that have these "liked/popular" posts...

I would like to remind this request. I still believe this change will increase the overall interaction in the forum and will put forward the most useful content for all users.

This is similar to the plugin nodebb-plugin-feed, it has the same widget areas but displays the most upvoted posts instead of posts from users you follow.

popular posts in our forum are usually long posts, therefore for post lists we use this CSS customization:

.posts-list .posts-list-item .content {
    overflow: auto;
    max-height: 480px;
}

so, people can go through all the posts with scrolling without changing the page or going to the related topics... feel free to change the post height as you like.

Thanks @phenomlab for this CSS codes and thanks again @baris for the plugin.
