Add "Pinned post list" plugin

[cepheiVV]

What needs to be done: #144 (comment)

Would be great to have a plugin to select specific posts to display them in a list.
So post can be pinned. 
use-casees:
 - pin the 3 most popular posts below the normal ListView
 - pin an important post above the listView 
 - permanently posts a reference to a blog post from a normal TYPO3 content page

1. Sounds a lot like Add popular post plugin #132
2. Should be a simple template change when Add popular post plugin #132 is implemented
3. Is already possible using a linkhandler extension for TYPO3 (nothing special about t3extblog here)

Any feedback on this issue?

[cepheiVV]

It is similar to issue #132. But I would suggest to make the post-records selectable.
#132 shows the most popular posts, while my suggestion is to pin one or more specific posts.
I would find it useful to display a blogpost from outside the blog.
E.g. your website has a product detail page and within your product description you link to a blogpost about that specific product.

The linkhandler solution would only reference to the post with a simple link, while the plugin solution provides the post teaser and image etc.

All though, it's not a common blog feature, I assume that most people use this extension along with corporate websites, but not as Blog-only websites. Therefore it would still make sense to integrate that feature.

So this is more about a plugin to display specific posts (configurable within the plugin itself) while #132 is about adding a flag to specific posts with a plugin showing those posts.

In addition this plugin would need something to change the underlying template (like rendering a list like view and rendering a preview card / teaser of one or multiple posts).

Correct?

[cepheiVV]

Right.
As I understand, #132 would display the most visited/popular posts (no flag). Those post may change over time, whenever a newer post becomes more popular.

The pinnen posts #144 will never change as long as they are selected in the plugin.

[fnagel]

Ok, I think I know what you want.

As I understand, #132 would display the most visited/popular posts (no flag)

Depends. Either a flag or view count (#22, see #132)

@cepheiVV Why did you close this?

[cepheiVV]

Was cleaning up my issue list. A 5+ year old feature request with no feedback seemed irrelevant.
