Show latest list sorted by creation date

[Javier_Galan]

Hi, I have seen few topics with the solution I am looking for.

How I can sort topics by topic creation date?

Or is there any url I can browse to see this? Thanks!

I think my question is very similar to latest @abcoathup question in this post.

How can I order by topic creation date?

I want to order by topic creation date. The only option I have found is latest?order=created_at but this lists the topics based on the last activity date, so if topics have replies, then that impacts the order

However, this was not answered. How can I configure my discourse site so that when users enter the main address they jump directly to mysitedomain/latest?order=created ?

And additionally, when users press on the button latest, how I configure the site so that they are re-directed to mysitedomain/latest?order=created. ?

Thanks!

This is not possible at the current time, nor is it planned.

You can use search, if you select “sort by latest topic”.

Hi @codinghorror, can you point me the way to search how I can modify this? I would love to see the latest list sorted by creation date.

I (kinda) solve this on my forum by using redirect links, thanks to this post:

Redirect Category to External URL

Is there some specific version of the API I should be using for this?

Change yoursite.com for the name of your site.

The following script achieves the intended result when added to </head> via Customize:

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.19">
api.onPageChange(() => {
	if ( window.location.href === "https://yoursite.com/latest" ) {
		window.location.replace( "https://yoursite.com/latest?order=created" );
	}
});
</script>

NOTE: If you are a developer, please understand that I’m not. Please dont hate me for doing this I know this is not the proper way to do this.

I get this to work by modifying this component a litter bit, that is, adding a button for ‘sorted by date’

Custom Top Navigation Links

Summary Custom Top Navigation Links allows you to add links to Discourse top navigation.

Beginner’s guide to using Discourse Themes Install this theme component Screenshot: Desktop [Capture] Mobile [Capture] Settings: Nav links — these need 3 parts: Name Descrip…

where I passed in a url query in setting by:

unfinished; unfinished; ?tags=unfinished
created-time; created-time; ?order=created

and check search param in the script:

  api.modifyClass("component:navigation-item", {
    active: Ember.computed("contentFilterMode", "filterMode", function() {
      let contentFilterMode = this.get("content").get("filterMode");

      if (decodeURIComponent(window.location.search) === location) { // check search param
        return contentFilterMode.includes(filter); // if includes this param, active = true;
      } else {
        return this._super(contentFilterMode, this.get("filterMode"));
      }
    })
  });

This works for me but this script will refresh whole page rather than just the inner part, is there a way I can make it only refresh inner topic component?

Hi @HeyRR, have you got this resolved. Would be interested as well as many of our members are requesting a possibility to order the latest page by creation date and not by activity date?

[HeyRR]

No luck, sorry, currently I just use the solution I mentioned above, I’m not super familiar with the structure.

We’d like to see this in our Discourse community. We are new to Discourse but currently finding it difficult to moderate our community and ensure no user feedback, questions etc slip through the cracks. Since we are all working across different time zones the handoff from one moderator to another can be tricky. It would be great if we could easily choose to see all activity created on a certain day. That way if there is a gap in our handover we would see any activity for the hours we were not ‘on call’ It would also help us to see who should be responding to activity based on when it was created.

Eu gostaria de adicionar meu voto para mais suporte a isso:

Alguns de nós estamos muito acostumados a navegar pelas coisas com uma ordem cronológica estável; isso nos ajuda a usar nosso “hardware” espacial humano para acompanhar o que vimos. A visualização “Mais Recentes” em constante mudança de um discurso (acoplada a todas as outras opções de visualização e outros elementos da interface do usuário) pode parecer um pouco caótica e estressante.

E eu passei bastante tempo em nosso novo discurso entendendo e explicando que “Mais Recentes” na verdade tem duas variantes importantes, “Mais Recentes Ativos/Fixados” que você obtém se clicar no título do site, e “Mais Recentes Criados” que você obtém se clicar no link de navegação Mais Recentes.

Atualmente, “Mais Recentes Criados” (?order=created) pode ser configurado como padrão para a visualização de Categorias, mas não para a visualização Mais Recentes.

Também sentimos muita falta de ter um “Mais Recentes Criados/Fixados”. Atualmente, nas visualizações Mais Recentes e Categorias, podemos mostrar tópicos cronologicamente, ou mostrar tópicos de boas-vindas fixados no topo, mas não ambos.

Sim, eu ouvi você.

Acho que precisamos repensar a configuração da “página inicial” no Discourse para permitir que qualquer rota seja uma página inicial e dar aos usuários a flexibilidade de escolher a página inicial que desejam. Atualmente, temos 5 ou 6 itens no menu, mas na verdade poderíamos permitir centenas, permitindo um “personalizado…” para a página inicial.

Adicionando à diversão: Notei que, quando navego (de várias maneiras) para “Top” ou “Hot”, frequentemente, mas nem sempre, ?order=created é adicionado à URL, o que frustra seu propósito. Ainda não descobri o que causa isso!
