The discussion revolves around implementing a Facebook-like user wall feature in Discourse. mikeemesser is looking for a plugin or functionality that allows users to post personal content and others to comment, similar to a one-person public group.
However, jomaxro points out that Discourse is primarily a discussion forum, not a social media platform, and such a feature may not be the best fit. mikeemesser understands this but believes that social media features can complement a discussion forum.
Neoslayer agrees that Discourse can be customized to include unique features, and merefield suggests using the Topic List Previews plugin and theme component, which allows users to highlight important topics on their activity page.
Although Neoslayer is not satisfied with the solution, merefield explains that the plugin can be used to simulate a user wall by curating a list of topics with a specific tag. merefield has since added instructions to the plugin’s OP to help users implement this feature.
Forgive me my ignorance, but I am looking for a forum software which supports Facebook-style user walls in addition to everything else. I’m thinking of a page where a user can post personal things and others can comment - sort of like a one-person public group everyone can subscribe to. Is there a plugin or anything which would give this functionality?
Greetings,
Michael
How would this be different than a listing of @user mentions? I am just curious.
Well, it would be much more about presenting oneselves life with pictures, quotes, thoughts. The only applicable subject would be “me”, not a topic of a forum. Facebook does some things very well, why not copy them?
That isn’t what Discourse is. Discourse is a discussion forum. From the team: “We’re on a ten year mission to improve the Internet with free, open-source discussion software that raises the level of discourse for the entire world.” (emphasis mine). What you seem to be looking for is a social media or personal blog system. I’d suggest using SSO to integrate an existing system into Discourse, rather than turn Discourse into something it is not.
No argument that Facebook does things well, but Discourse isn’t trying to make a social media platform - that’s why it doesn’t make a lot of sense to copy what they do.
Yes, of course. I’d just love to have a decent online forum with strong Social Media features, this is no contradiction. In fact, in the early days of online communities, this distinction did not exist at all. But maybe I’m just old-fashioned… 
Discourse 是一个讨论论坛，但人们也用它来创建自己独特的论坛，在这些论坛中，此类功能并不会无缘无故地受到非议。
（请原谅我翻旧帖，我也在寻找类似的东西）
这在 主题列表预览（插件和主题组件）以及一个官方主题组件中有所体现（据我所知）。
在 TLP 中，你只需给主题打上预留的标签（在设置中指定），它就会出现在你用户活动页面的“作品集”视图中。你可以根据需要重命名该视图。这仅仅是突出显示该用户的一系列重要主题的一种方式。在桌面端，如果你喜欢，可以将该视图样式化为瓷砖布局。
TLP 会在用户卡片上添加一个按钮，以帮助用户发现该页面。
此外，“关注”插件模拟了基于用户的新闻源，提供了一个名为“关注”的主题列表，其中仅显示由你关注的人撰写或涉及他们的相关近期主题。
我在这里没看到任何个人资料或用户墙插件。
您是否已安装插件或 TC（两种版本均可），设置了作品集标签，并导航至用户活动和作品集路由？抱歉，插件 OP 的参考信息不完整。最佳体验是通过实际尝试来获得。所谓的“墙”当然只是由用户和标签组合决定的一系列主题列表。该标签允许用户“策展”显示的内容。如果用户的“墙”无法通过主题策展列表来模拟，那我不确定自己是否完全理解了用户墙的概念。还剩下哪些功能缺口？如果可行，我很乐意考虑对其进行演进。我想，需要教育用户添加标签。
我已在 TLP 插件的首帖中添加了说明。
