"sticky/pinned" posts

[nodiscc]

add the ability to mark posts as "sticky", always displayed first on the first link list page.

Would a Bump to top button be enough? (in the edit dialog or in the linklist). Everytime you press this button, the link date is set to the current date (therefore it bumps to the top of the linklist). Maybe this breaks permalinks.

Or store a list of sticky posts in a config variable STICKY_POSTS = array('CfcZe5', 'Oxr_A7', 'drd8cb');. Everytime the linklist is rendered, display these posts first.

Core feature or plugin?

Bump to top : no. It risk to be diffcult to have a good setting (how do you choose until when sticky post need to be retrieved, or how many time they will be sticked at the top, etc...)

If it is implemented, it needs to work as private links are managed/displayed when logged in : logged user can identify private links into the full linklist and get only private links clicking on ?privateonly.

We need the same without be logged. This function could be nice by default (because is yet pretty commons to "star" liked content : mail clients, github, twitter, etc...)

"Bump link to top" button: see https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/wiki/Datastore-hacks#changing-the-timestamp-for-a-link

Can we start by adding a starred: key to links in the datastore? Then check if a link is starred during template rendering with

$has_starred = isset($row["starred"]) && $row["starred"] === true;

I created a github account to +1 this. Bump link to top wouldn't work.

What I've been using as a workaround is setting the date timestamp to "2999" with some template hacks, but there should be a better way (like a star or pin button which edits the date in the background, or preferably add that :starred: key)

Any insight on that feature?

The workarounds in this thread are probably outdated because the IDs aren't dates anymore. I'm bumping the milestone because this shouldn't be very hard to implement. PR are appreciated, as always.
