Sticky result on top

[Yans]

Hi,
I am using ASP to list and search posts (news articles). The ordering is currently set with relevance as primary ordering and publication date as secondary.

The client wants to have a “sticky” post feature, so they can pin a post on top of the results list doesn’t matter the date or relevance.

When editing a WordPress post, under “Visibility”, there is an option “Stick this post to the front page”.

Does ASP support this kind of “sticky” feature?

If not, I thought of adding a custom field and use it as the primary ordering setting, but then I will not be able to use relevance. Is there a way to add a 3rd ordering setting?

Thanks!

Sorry, please put this ticket on hold, there might be an additional request from the client that will cause this to be implements without ASP.

I will let you know.

Thanks

Hi,

Sure, no problem.

But just to answer your initial query, it is actually possible via the individual priorities feature. You can set the priority to 101 or higher on the post you want to stick to the top (whenever it’s matched).

Hi Ernest and thanks for your reply. The client wanted one thing for one CPT and a “sticky” feature for another CPT, for which I used the Priority Group configuration.

Thanks again and you can close this issue.
