^^ Absolutely agree.

With your plugin, I am gunning for something similar to what Discourse has done. With Discourse, one is never lost. You can sort, filter etc, it is a sweet ride.

Before I start hacking the code, what do you think is the feasibility of adding directional sort?

Something Like /filterdiscussion?CategoryID=NE:32&Type=EQ:Question&CountViews=GT:0&sort=CountViews:asc

&sort=CountViews:asc tells what column is to be sorted how.

As many of of you might have noted, the 2.8 release is around the corner. https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/36959/more-changes-in-vanilla-2-8-coming-feb-6#latest

There are a few things I'd like to note for addon developers in this release.

Note on new classes

We've added quite a few new subsystems that are not fully ready for public consumption. I'm trying to mark them with the @internal annotation, but I may not get all of them. With that in mind:

A few examples of of classes or namespaces like this.

• Vanilla\Formatting\EmbedManager
• Vanilla\Models\Model
• Vanilla\Models\PipelineModel
• Vanilla\Datebase\Operation
• Vanilla\Formatting\Embeds
• Vanilla\Models\DraftModel
• Vanilla\Web\PageController
• Vanilla\Web\Page

When these new pieces are completed we will document them publicly, deprecate old alternatives, and provide a clear path forward. Thank you for your understanding.

@R_J I'll note best practice for these controllers (as documented) is to always have a `$this->permission()` call even if it's an empty string. This allows "default" permissions to be enforced (if the site is configured to have escalated default permissions).

I do not really have read the documentation, I just wanted to quickly assemble some working code. Thanks for giving that extra information. But now that you have mentioned it, I have taken a look at the Schema docs and I have found that:

$schema = new Garden\Schema();
$schema([
    's:name' => 'The title of the discussion.',
    's:body' => 'The body of the discussion.',
    's:format?' => 'The discussion format.',
    'i:categoryID' => 'The category to place the discussion.',
])
->setDescription('Add a new discussion.')
->validate($body)

In this example the type shortcut and the name are the other way around. That looks like an error...

I also cannot see what 'score:i|n' => 'Total points associated with this post.', would mean (taken from the DiscussionsApiController). What does this "|n" stands for?

Add this to your CSS:

.highlight-effect {
    animation: none;
}
