Default Latest Picked on front page not updating properly
It seems the "Latest Picked" widget on the front page is not updating properly. Clearing browser cache didn't help. Anything else I should do?

What's the problem with it? That's how it appears for me and as far as I'm aware, those are the most recent picked items

When I filter the downloads page for picked items, this is how it looks:



Does the "Latest Picked" show random picks? Not only is the order reversed (as for example in comparison to the Latest featured) but also there are 3 newer downloads that were picked. Or is it ordered by the date of the pick, not upload date?

Ah, I *think* because the latest picked on the main page goes by when the upload was picked. On the downloads page, it's going by the date uploaded. So some of those items were uploaded and then picked later, thus showing on the first page, even though they're further down in the downloads page.

Ok, so it only appears random (or delayed) as I have no overview when something was picked. Thanks for the explanation!

Hrm, looks like there is an issue - the picks that appear on the front page are auto picks only, whereas the picks that appear on the download browser are all types of picks (including staff picked). However, it looks like the staff picks don't update the database field telling when it was done, hence why they don't appear on the front page. (or something else is nuking that information)

Thanks for the heads up, I'll go in and fix this!

I'm having a much worse version of this problem with the "all downloads." I'm seeing things uploaded from as far back as 2016 on the first page.

Yes, but that's new Maybe a side effect of working on the above issue.

Yup, but I've reverted that and it now sorts by the date uploaded, albeit with a fixed backend . Later on I'll probably go in and have the ability to order by date picked/featured.
