AI-generated summary

The discussion is about embedding a category in Discourse. roarkely is looking for a way to embed a category, listing the last 5-10 active topics, on a private Wordpress site with separate groups. codinghorror suggests using the RSS feed for the category, which roarkely considers a possible solution, but prefers a more “native” Discourse-like UI. sniepoort agrees with this preference. huynhthai824 shares an attempt to sync two categories using Discourse’s embed feature, but is struggling to get it to work.

I know that we can embed a topic, and I know that we can assign a category for new topics based on the embedding host. But is it possible to embed a category?

Here is the use-case we are exploring: A private Wordpress site with separate groups (e.g. Cat People, Dog People, Chicken People). Each group has a matching category in Discourse for their forums. On Wordpress we would like to embed the category for each group, listing the last 5-10 active topics. A user can click on a topic in Wordpress and join the conversation through Discourse.

I’ve seen that Twig Anything is one way to solve this problem, but is there a more “native” solution that I havn’t run into yet?

Can’t you just grab the RSS feed for the category?

3

Sure could! Either the JSON or RSS representation will give us the data for the category. Getting the data in a Discourse-like UI would be all the better (and easier).

+1 for getting the data in a Discourse like UI.
Any developments on this? Or is the only option still just pulling from a RSS feed?

<div id='discourse-comments'></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  DiscourseEmbed = { discourseUrl: 'https://canthuenhadat.com.vn/',
                     discourseEmbedUrl: 'https://bdser.vn/c/nha-dat-cho-thue' };

  (function() {
    var d = document.createElement('script'); d.type = 'text/javascript'; d.async = true;
    d.src = DiscourseEmbed.discourseUrl + 'javascripts/embed.js';
    (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(d);
  })();
</script>

After, i copy code and embed code to new topic in Canthuenhadat.com.vn, but not effect! :frowning:
