The extension can be used in two main "modes": ### Frontend mode [](#frontend-mode) This mode verifies the badge conditions client-side against the information the current user can see. The database column is not used at all. In Frontend mode, the following criteria are available: - Number of comments - Number of views The number of views is not computed by this extension. It requires either `michaelbelgium/flarum-discussion-views` or `flarumite/simple-discussion-views`. ### Scheduler mode [](#scheduler-mode) This mode makes use of a CRON job to update the discussion status. [See this thread on how to configure the Flarum scheduler in your crontab](https://discuss.flarum.org/d/24118-setup-the-flarum-scheduler-using-cron) You can configure the frequency of the update through the extension settings. In Scheduler mode, the following criteria are available: - Number of comments - Timeframe for the number of comments (in n last hours, leave empty for the total) - Number of views - Timeframe for the number of views (in n last hours, leave empty for the total) The number of views is not computed by this extension. It requires either `michaelbelgium/flarum-discussion-views` or `flarumite/simple-discussion-views`. It's only possible to time-constraint the views of `michaelbelgium/flarum-discussion-views`. Setting a views timeframe while using the Flarumite views extensions will result in an error. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require clarkwinkelmann/flarum-ext-popular-discussion-badge ``` Support ------- [](#support) This extension is under **minimal maintenance**. It was developed for a client and released as open-source for the benefit of the community. I might publish simple bugfixes or compatibility updates for free. You can [contact me](https://clarkwinkelmann.com/flarum) to sponsor additional features or updates. Support is offered on a "best effort" basis through the Flarum community thread. **Sponsors**: Daniel Alter, Phenomlab, [ctml](https://discuss.flarum.org/u/ctml), [GreXXL](https://www.flarumde.com/) Links ----- [](#links) - [GitHub](https://github.com/clarkwinkelmann/flarum-ext-popular-discussion-badge) - [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/clarkwinkelmann/flarum-ext-popular-discussion-badge) - [Discuss](https://discuss.flarum.org/d/24490) ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity26 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity61 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 94.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
