Change the default - click Discussion go to the top post Item_1, instead of latest. Is this possible

abssorb

I know the term is "discussion" so most people will want to see the latest comment. My users are old school forum users and like to go to Post No 1 when they click on a discussion title, they keep asking for this. Self-hosted v2.0.18.4

I couldn't find a forum option to do this, so I presume I'll need to modify some HTML?
I'd be grateful for any suggestions where to start

Untested, but from principle it should work and be at least a good place to start at:

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

$PluginInfo['NoLatestAnymore'] = array(
   'Name' => 'NoLatestAnymore',
   'Description' => 'Remove the "#latest" from discussion links in Recent Discussions' ,
   'Version' => '0.1',
   'RequiredApplications' => array('Vanilla' => '2.1'),
   'MobileFriendly' => TRUE,
   'Author' => 'Robin'
);

class NoLatestAnymorePlugin extends Gdn_Plugin {
   public function DiscussionsController_BeforeDiscussionName_Handler($Sender) {
      $Sender->EventArguments['DiscussionUrl'] = $Sender->EventArguments['Discussion']->Url;
   }
}

EDIT: you have to save that as /plugins/NoLatestAnymore/class.nolatestanymore.plugin.php

of course since you are using 2.0.18.4, which you should upgrade

you will also need to remove RequiredApplications' => array('Vanilla' => '2.1'),

$Sender->EventArguments['DiscussionUrl'] = $Sender->EventArguments['Discussion']->Url;

or maybe

$Sender->EventArguments['DiscussionUrl'] = $Sender->EventArguments['Discussion']->Url . "/p1";

or try adding this line to your config.php

$Configuration['Vanilla']['Comments']['AutoOffset'] = FALSE;

and don't ever say the words "kitchen sink". it will make some users go stark raving mad. I learned my lesson here
