Awesome! Didn’t know you have to put the order before the tag.
However it doesn’t work on blenderartists. Where is the documentation for all these url suffixes? @bartv any idea why it doesn’t work on blenderartists?
I notice that here at meta the links Sam posted are routed to “/latest?tags=” i.e. the query parameters are added to a page path and not the / directory.
Might it be that latest needs to be the “home” page for these to work without explicitly using latest in the URL?
In other words, if the category list page is “home” it can’t be sorted / filtered as the latest list page can be.
I confirm, adding /latest does the trick. Thanks @Mittineague!
Although the Topic List Preview plugin doesn’t cope well with it, as it doesn’t display the thumbnails like it does with the default tag listing.
Not “latest” because blenderartists.org is kind of half for artwork and half for help on using the program, so enabling thumbnails on latest would be problematic (tech support topics shouldn’t have thumbnails).
Could there be any workaround?
To the developers of Discourse: would it be possible to implement a “/tags/some-tag?order=created” system?
That would allow the Topic List Preview add-on to work along with it.
I have no knowledge in any of the languages that Discourse is made with so I can’t make a pull request myself and since the issue tracker is disabled, I guess I just have to keep this request here and be patient.
I’ll see if there are drawbacks to enabling topics preview everywhere (I have concerns about layout and performance), and if needed I can chat with Angus too to see if this is something he thinks is worth doing.
