XF 2.2 A widget with important threads?

[blood2k]

Is there a way to create a widget where it will display a list of important threads? The important threads would be threads that I choose manually?

Im looking to pin around 10 important threads in a widget for all customers to see at any time they visit my forum.

I believe this should be a pretty basic function and doable within xenforo.

Create a HTML widget.

@AndyB that's a good idea, but how could I include the details about the thread? Like date/name of thread/ creator of thread?

Just hard-code it into through html?

That looks pretty cool, but looks like it only filters for NEW threads. Basically, I'm just looking for a bunch of "featured" threads that I manually want to choose. But all the featured thread addons are sliders with images, we don't need some complexity.

There may be something to do with a search forum and the search forum widget:
If you manage to single out your 10 important discussions (either by a prefix or by a tag for example) you can display them in a search forum configured accordingly (itself set not to appear in the list of forums) and then use the forum search widget to display your top 10 discussions wherever you want.

Correct.
