Thank you SurveyBuilder-Admin, I installed the plugin here but I don't understand how to add topics...

It automatically adds the topics.

Bug: In favposts.plg.php, on line 69, in "data-original-title=Edit", "Edit" needs to be replaced with $lang['edit'] in order to be used in other otherwise it can only work if it is in English.

Also, it may be necessary to add "document.querySelectorAll("[title=$lang['edit']") to ensure usability (due to an as-yet-unidentified bug on my end that causes bootstrap not to handle tooltip so there are no elements with the "data-original-title" attribute, only elements with the "title" attribute)

I notice that, I am going to fix that.

v1.0.1 is now a bug fix, please update the plugin before things go bad.

Suggestion: use the favposts_manageTopic() function to add "favorite" button to the topic page (list and detail) (use the different colour of the button to distinguish whether the post has been favorited or not, instead of inserting a badge directly into the post title (you can see the corresponding html when you edit the topic); at the same time；also the "favorite" page can be used as a place for users to browse (and remove) their favorite topics ( displayed as list), instead of having a confusing interface with some drop-down boxes, textboxes and buttons.

In addition, the 1.0.0 version of the “Favorite Post Plugin” can be repackaged as a "hot topic" plugin, replacing the “star” icon with a “flame” icon to let people know that the topic is currently hot!

I think were thinking of something different. The idea of this, is supposed to have a personal favorite of topics, that is why the "favorite topics" is ment to be your favorite, I guess I can set that idea "hot topics" plugin on the next project I can.
