Optional Latest Post Excerpt and Navigation
How TLP normally works. In the Topic List:
- If you click the title of a Topic, you will navigate to the latest unread Post on the Topic (which might be the OP). This is native core behaviour
(we love it! 
) - If you click on the Thumbnail or the Excerpt, you will go to the OP
Now, I’ve added some additional features:
On a Topic by Topic basis, anyone with rights to edit the Topic (usually the author, admin, often TL4 and moderator) have some additional options:
- Always navigate to the latest Post on this Topic
- Show excerpt of latest Post on this Topic instead of the OP
These currently default to FALSE for every Topic.
(in addition to be being able to select the specific Thumbnail you wish to surface)
Examples where this might be useful:
- Patch notes delivered Post by Post (so the latest Post becomes very significant)
- Staff announcements written to a specific Topic (where the latest announcement is most important)
NB This is only possible if you also install the sidecar plugin.
