Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.The topic list page could be replaced by a view. That would make changing the columns displayed a matter of changing the view instead of having to hack the module or have me provide a bunch of options. When exposed sorts become available in Views 3, that would give us more options. It also provides the ability to have a unified forum view that shows topics from all forums (or selected) forums at once, which incorporates #268429: Add topic list page for all forums.

michelleRemaining issues:
Print subforums / sub containers
How do we override existing core forum topic lists?
Breadcrumbs
Use term ID or term name for argument?
Can we get title to be set in pathauto as we can now? If not, can it be set to VOCAB/TERM-PATH/FORUM-NAME?
post new X, Y, Z
Forum search
Pager on top
Class on each item in the header
Sticky topics extra classes & seperated
Column for icon
Format topic title / author column nicely
Add topic pager to topic title column
Node: New comments does not recognize nodecomment
How do we deal with shadow posts?

michelleOk, a bunch of that got wiped out by embedding the view in the core forum stuff rather than trying to take it all over. Which, apparantly, merlinofchaos knew all the time but I was slow on the uptake. ;)
So the remaining to do list:
Pager on top
Class on each item in the header
Sticky topics extra classes & seperated
Column for iconFormat topic title / author column nicelyAdd topic pager to topic title columnNode: New comments does not recognize nodecomment
How do we deal with shadow posts?

michelleAnother one: Need to embed the view more efficiently than just clobbering the existing topic list variable. Will need to take over the preprocess for that.Michelle
Comment #4
michelleUpdated to do list:
Pager on top of list: Can be done with the main views template
Sticky topics: Need extra classes as well as a way to wrap all stickies to set them off. This will be done in the new style.
Shadow posts: Will deal with these in the style.
Icon to link to last post
Icon to link to first unread post
FUTURE: Column for topic icon
FUTURE: Column for rating / attachment /sticky icon

michelleI committed changes to make the shadow topics nicer as well as themeable. It still uses whatever icon is on the topic normally, but it did that before this view, too. Would be nice to have a specific shadow icon eventually.
Left to do:
Pager on top of list: Can be done with the main views template
Icon to link to last post
Icon to link to first unread post
FUTURE: Column for topic icon (the one the user chooses)
FUTURE: Column for rating / attachment /sticky icon

michelleThanks to merlinofchaos, the pager is in place. I also shuffled things around, putting the search and legend on the new template so everything lines up right.
Only thing left is the link to the last post. Will revisit the "future" items down the road sometime.
