Features

• Set a limit for the number of votes that can be cast by a user on a weekly basis.
• Support for a forth card that's always on display, can be used for e.g. sponsors.
• Choose what tags are votable.
• Choose if image in first post is required for voting.
• Pick what groups to give voting permissions to.

Styling options for the cards.

• border radius
• border width
• cards container border radius
• cards container border width
• border color (cards and container)
• cards color only mode
• title focus mode (bigger title text on cards)
• fallback image
• gap between cards

Notes

There needs to be at least 3 different discussions with votes to be able to display the highlighted discussions. With less, loading cards will be displayed.

When triggering the voting count manually, you will get a success message even if there are no votes or not enough to count. And with no votes, there's no history saved to display.

This extension relies on the flarum scheduler to work with automated vote counting every month. So make sure you have the cron job set up for the scheduler. https://docs.flarum.org/scheduler/

Mobile is currently not supported. But it is planned for a future release.
