I noticed that the search results page for favorites didn't "match" the subscriptions page, so I tweaked the extension as follows, and thought I'd share back.

Added to manifest.xml:

<hook id="sf_fn_generate_search_crumbs_start"><![CDATA[
    if ($action == 'show_favorite')
    {
        if (file_exists($ext_info['path'].'/lang/'.$forum_user['language'].'/'.$ext_info['id'].'.php'))
        {
            include_once $ext_info['path'].'/lang/'.$forum_user['language'].'/'.$ext_info['id'].'.php';
        }

        else
        {
            include_once $ext_info['path'].'/lang/English/'.$ext_info['id'].'.php';
        }

        $forum_page['crumbs'][] = $lang_favorite_topic['Favorites'];
        $forum_page['items_info'] = generate_items_info($lang_search['Topics found'], ($forum_page['start_from'] + 1), $num_hits);
        $forum_page['main_head_options']['defined_search'] = '<span'.(empty($forum_page['main_head_options']) ? ' class="first-item"' : '').'><a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['search']).'">'.$lang_search['User defined search'].'</a></span>';

        return true;
    }
]]></hook>

<hook id="sf_fn_no_search_results_start"><![CDATA[
    if ($action == 'show_favorite')
    {
        if (file_exists($ext_info['path'].'/lang/'.$forum_user['language'].'/'.$ext_info['id'].'.php'))
        {
            include_once $ext_info['path'].'/lang/'.$forum_user['language'].'/'.$ext_info['id'].'.php';
        }

        else
        {
            include_once $ext_info['path'].'/lang/English/'.$ext_info['id'].'.php';
        }

        message($lang_favorite_topic['No favorites'], $forum_page['search_again'], $lang_favorite_topic['Favorites']);

        return true;
    }
]]></hook>

Added to $lang_favorite_topic in English favorite_topic.php:

    'Favorites'       => 'Favorites',
    'No favorites'    => 'You have no favorite topics.',

Does version 1.2 still create stickies when you add a favourite topic?
I'm very excited to hear that you are working on more extensions

yes. my idea for this extension was to stick those topics.
if you want to remove that sticky part, just delete line 97 from manifest.xml:

$query['ORDER BY'] = 't.sticky DESC, favorite DESC, '.(($cur_forum['sort_by'] == '1') ? 't.posted' : 't.last_post').' DESC';

Now this is a option in users profile.
Check for new version in first post, or use my repository to get automatic updates prompts

In the lang file I found two links:

But where in the profile or administration I can check the "user favorite"?

I'll just add "View all your favorites" to user profile in few minutes.
I still have about 30 extensions to do on my list, so I will not work on this "most favorites" project right now. Fell free to modify my extension.

Hmmm. The suggestion was that it would be good if the favourite topics did NOT appear like stickies at the top of the forum list but were instead accessed by a link in the profile just like the current subscription topics are viewed. That would be much better for me.

And then, based on forum activity, it would be good if the following links/lists were available:
- most favourited today
- most favourited this week
- most favourited this month
- most favourited this year
- most favourited all time

Something along those lines ???

But what for? Most popular topics will became more and more popular, and list order will be constant.
Maybe just some short list in admin panel?

What do you think?

Edit: I read it again. You mean new forum with most frequently favorite topics. It can be done, but I'll need to think about it.

Yes that's the one. Sounds good to me.
It does need some thinking about though

Most popular topics - not too bad idea I can modify some existing extension which is showing newest topics in index.php Is there any good?

This is a very nice extension. I've installed it straight away at www.eRoyton.co.uk/forum
Can you take it a step further and use this extension to create a "most popular" topics forum. So that only the topics which have been "favourited" the most times are listed in a special separate forum?

Or perhaps another similar idea that achieves the same result?
Thanks for the extension release

Yeah most popular topics + most new topics at index is good extension
