How to show announcements in 'Unread Discussions' page
AaronWebstey
✭✭✭
I use http://myforumname.com/discussions/unread quite a bit, and have added a link to it in my theme (and in the panel; I have another discussion about that). It bugged me that announcements are not included, so I added them.
On 2.1.8p2, I edited the following files:
applications/vanilla/models/class.discussionmodel.php
402a403
->Select('d.Announce', '', 'IsAnnounce')
424c425
< $this->EventArguments['SortField'] = C('Vanilla.Discussions.SortField', 'd.DateLastComment');
---
$this->EventArguments['SortField'] = C('Vanilla.Discussions.SortField', 'IsAnnounce desc, d.DateLastComment');
applications/vanilla/controllers/class.discussionscontroller.php (note the 's'! NOT discussioncontroller!):
228c228 < $this->DiscussionData = $DiscussionModel->GetUnread($Page, $Limit); ---
$this->DiscussionData = $DiscussionModel->GetUnread($Page, $Limit, array('Announce' => 'all'));
This did it for me - Announcements now show up in my 'unread' list!

I challenge you to do this without a core modification.

Challenge accepted! Do you think it's possible, and I just need to figure it out? Or are you wondering if it's possible too
Anything is possible when you realize you can replace models, controller, and views.

Thanks. I'll stop asking questions, or it won't be a real challenge now will it? And if anything is possible, I'm going to make a plugin that will brew me a beer and serve it in a frosty mug with pretzels.
@AaronWebstey Per our other discussion, I'd actually be fine with this being the default behavior, but I think the challenge should be to refactor Unread out of core to an addon in the Addons repo.
I've confirmed with @Todd that we wanna get this out.
@Linc I was just thinking about how to do this on the way home
. Now that's a challenge!
PS challenge still accepted.
You'll want to make sure you include this too: https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/pull/2368
