![]() I don’t expect mirrored topics to be on the roadmap any time soon, so I’m hopeful one of the above solutions will end up being a workable alternative! Let me know if you have questions. You would need to teach your users of its existence, but it could be a good way to organize everything. ![]() You may also want to investigate the usefulness of Discourse-docs: Documentation Management Plugin. This way you would have a filtering system. Take a look at How to use category security settings to create private categories for more information.Īnother optional tool if you expect a lot the generalized content to be user-submitted is to set the “General” category up so that all new topics must be approved by staff. This should avoid any opportunity for categorization chaos. You can set the category restrictions such that all users can see and reply, but only staff (or a designated group of your choosing) can create new topics. Hey I’m following correctly, I think one answer could be a partially restricted “General” category. And I will not miss an opportunity to tell you how great your platform is. Thanks for your attention, Jeff, it’s an honor. And it would have two entry points: the category (Elementary School) and the tag (Elementary School) with different contents … ![]() It would be a solution, but it would imply that the users correctly tagged each of the posts. I know that it is possible to create sidebars (using discourse-category-sidebars) and put tag links in them. If I create a more specific category such as “ Programming languages” or “ Coding”, many users will not subscribe because they are not too interested in the world of programming, although they might be interested in Scratch if you present it in its natural category (ex Elementary School).I’m not a big fan of “General” or “Miscellaneous” categories. If I create a “ General” category, I will soon have a mixed bag, where some users will publish things that would be better in other categories.I can create the topic and tag it as “Elementary School” and “Middle School” but where do I put it? ![]() I have 3 big categories “ Elementary school”, “ Middle School” and “ High School” and I want to post a topic on “Scratch, a fun and easy programming language”. I come back to my example to answer your question. And vice versa.īut they are not totally independent communities either because there are some topics that may be of interest to all of them (although not too many). If I am an Elementary School teacher, I don’t want to read content about college entrance exams. Honestly, I don’t have a lot of experience, but I sense that some communities work better when the content is very specific. Automatic tags based in content (great new feature!) can help also, but mirrored topics can be useful in some scenarios, I think. Tags can help, but require supervision and maintenance when users are not digitally competent. It is a classic problem in hierarchical systems. I can triplicate a topic, true, but I would like that all community talk about together from his “natural place”. Some users will create new topics talking about robots in “Elementary” category (because they are an elementary teacher) and some users will create in “Educational robotics”.Ģ.2. I can create a category called “Educational Robotics”, I know, but it generates some dispersion in some not competent users. I would like to share a one topic about Educational robotics to everyone.Ģ.1. There are more common categories, but I would not like to add a lot of categories (10-15 max). They are quite independent categories (90% of the topics do not interest the others). I have three main categories: Elementary, Middle and High School.
