I’m interested in doing something like [GitHub - nolosb/discourse-featured-lists: A Discourse theme component to feature custom topic lists. · GitHub](https://github.com/nolosb/discourse-featured-lists) that makes Pms display on some other pages (like latest).
The idea is that group PMs can be hard to find, so if I could get, say, unread group pms to display on `/unread` then that would be really cool.
Pretending for a minute that I can figure out how to get them to display, what I need is to get the data so that I can display it.
Can I do something like this:
```plaintext
const topicList = await this.store.findFiltered('topicList', {
filter: this.args.list.filter,
params: {
category: this.args.list.category,
tags: this.args.list.tag,
solved: solvedFilter,
},
});
```
but make the params get, say, the group PMs for staff or team or whatever?

Well, it looks like I can sort-of do it like this:
```plaintext
const topicList = await this.store.findFiltered('topicList', {
filter: this.args.list.filter,
// filter: "search",
params: {
// category: this.args.list.category,
// tags: this.args.list.tag,
// solved: solvedFilter,
q: "upgraded in:messages"
},
});
```
that will give me my messages that have “upgraded” in them.
But I still can’t figure out how to get, say, unread messages, new messages, all messages, messages sent to a group.
Sigh. But it’s not a topic\_list.

But wait!!! I found the right filter over in
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/routes/build-private-messages-group-route.js#L33](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/routes/build-private-messages-group-route.js#L33)
```plaintext
let topicListFilter = `topics/private-messages-group/${this.currentUser.username}/${groupName}`;
console.log("consider the topic list", topicListFilter);
const topicList = await this.store.findFiltered('topicList', {
filter: topicListFilter,
params: { },
});
```
