[ADDON] Featured December 04, 2014, 09:21:23 am Featured v0.0.1IntroductionJust a very basic implementation of the "featured" feature ( ).What does it mean?Let's take a topic as an example, when you make the topic "featured" it will be shown "somewhere", for example at the moment a shorter version is shows at the top of the board index, see attachment for an example.Why "basic"?Because it's the work of about 3/4 hours of coding (most of them spent styling the carousel the way I wanted it), it lacks a tons of stuff.At the moment it's possible to "feature" and "unfeature" a topic and the topic summary is displayed at the top of the board index, but nothing more.The list of things to do includes (in random order): properly implement the permissions (at the moment it's just a placeholder, that means only admins can feature/unfeature a topic), make the text "mark featured" change to "unfeature" when the topic is featured (and make it AJAX), add an admin interface to see who and when a topic was featured/unfeatured, allow to insert an image and a summary of the featured "item", allow to show the featured box not only on the board index, but in various actions, give members the possibility to dismiss a featured entry, give members the option to disable the featured interface completely, write new "featurers", for example for attachments, or members, or SimplePortal articles, etc. The system is coded flexible enough to plug-in any kind of "item".Licenseo This ElkArte Addon is subject to the terms of the BSD "3-clause" license.

I would start with an option between "show featured topics" and "do not show featured topics".
