In the project we're working on with Thredded we need a personalized set of topic-list pages as an alternative to a listing of messageboards.

So for example a homepage with a top-level nav menu consisting of:

• Unread: a list of unread topics (ordered by last post) across all messageboards
• Following: a list of followed topics (ordered by last post) across all messageboards
• Posted: a list of topics you've posted to (ordered by your last post) across all messageboards
• All messageboards: a list of messageboards (as present)
• All topics: a list of all topics (ordered by last post) across all messageboards

The first item in the list would be the home page.

I think this could be configurable, so to get the current presentation you'd just do:

Thredded.top_level_navs = [:all_messageboards]

But to get the full set you'd do:

Thredded.top_level_navs = [:unread, :following, :posted, :all_topics, :all_messageboards]

Which is the default configuration we can work out, depending on the answer to the next:

We are thinking that we could implement this as either a separate repo/plugin to Thredded (er, not sure what this might look like exactly, but am assuming something a new engine + sub namespace which you need to add as well as thredded. Maybe therefore the config above might be Thredded::PersonalizedNavigation.navs = [:all_messageboards]

Alternatively we could adopt within Thredded itself (given that the default configuration could be to have no change), but gut feel is that this is enough of a side-track from the main core of Thredded that it would be better separate.

Any thoughts @glebm @jayroh? Any pre-existing separate plugin repos which might indicate some testing / mounting / configuration options (would https://github.com/thredded/thredded-read_tracking indicate some "best practice"? even though I think that is destined for merger into thredded itself)
