A client approached me with a request to create a card-based user directory. As he’s hosted on discourse.org , I initially said this would not be possible (aside from any performance issues), as the attributes required to fill a user card are not available in the user object serialized with director…

@sam Reckon this approach is do-able in a PR?

[image] angus: However, after discussing it further, I determined that one approach could be to make a PR into core which adds user attributes to the directory item serializer via a site setting. I think @blake and @awesomerobot is working with another customer with similar requirements. I a…

How about making the user directory serializer accept a new parameter like users.json?include_profile=true Then we can add a JS plugin API which allows themes to add this parameter: api.userListIncludeProfile(true) “Profile” would include all the things in the regular user serializer (being caref…

Close but this does not work cleanly cause when you head to the home page of the site or to the u path you don’t have the luxury of adding a param to the path, we need defaults changed :frowning:

Oh yes :cry: In that case, I think a hidden site setting is a good starting point. Would be nice to make it per-theme, but we need to build some infrastructure there first. I still think a boolean “user list includes profile” setting will be easier to reason with.

Would that include properties like featured_user_badges used in the user card?

Yes, I think so - everything that is included in the regular user serializer (As long as it can be done without introducing an n+1)

Cool. Let us know if you guys consider this pr-welcome and in what form, and we’d be happy to make one. On our end, @fzngagan is going to handle this from here.

Let’s go ahead with a single, boolean, hidden site setting, which adds all the relevant information.

Thanks for the heads up here @david . I’ll start looking into it monday onwards.
