im liking what i see on my contentthats imported corectly however i see no way to mark content as featured
i see on mt elastic front page a featured profile slider and accepts a comma list of profile ids is the only option for feauring content something like that
can the smarty module be used to create a featured list for each content type
and can a button be created that would alow admins to add contentto the featured lists

im assuming its all possible with the right know how lol

but can you give me some clues how it would be done so i can start to try tio figure it out

some contents just so superior it needs to get extra attention

Using featured profiles as an example, with the Form Designer add a custom field to the profile update form called 'profile_featured', make it a checkbox and visible to admin only. Then make the smarty list function that shows featured artist look like this -

{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" search="profile_featured = on" . . . }

Then, as admin, you can tick the boxes of those profiles you want featured.

To take this a step further Paul, would be nice to have a start and end date associated with featured status, then the admin doesn't have to worry about un-featuring someone as the system would handle it automatically.

This is only an idea and I haven't looked into what it would take to achieve yet.

Just make two custom 'date' fields, profile_featured_start/end then use $smarty.now to get the current time in the jrCore_ list search fields.
