The discussion revolves around allowing multiple sites for embedding in Discourse. darix initiated the conversation, sharing his experience integrating Discourse with pixls.us. He pointed out that the current design only allows one site to embed back and suggested implementing a category->site mapping to enable embedding based on that mapping.
codinghorror mentioned that a feature request for this already exists, with the goal of making RSS feed embedding possible per category rather than just once per site.
Patrick_David, who was referenced in the original post, confirmed the issue persists and is seeking a solution. He prefers to specify multiple RSS feeds for polling posts instead of parsing HTML pages.
First of all thank you for discourse! It is amazing. I just finished my RPM packages and helped integrating it with pixls.us. Together with Pat I was looking into the multisite option.
pixls.us currently uses the rss parsing + embedding support shown in @eviltrout 's blog post. In the current design only one site can embed back. One option to fix this would be to have a mapping category->site and allow embedding based on that mapping. In the case of Pat, he thought about sharing his instance with the libre graphics community. For me personally I would love to have discourse as common commenting platform over all opensuse.org sites. The mozilla team was discussing similar things here.
I realize this is old, but couldnβt find another topic that was quite as on-point (Iβm the Pat referenced in the OP).
We are starting to use pixls.us as a commenting platform for other libre graphics projects, and this problem is rearing its head again. Is there no way to specify more than one RSS feed to poll for posts still?
I love that I can at least specify multi-site embeds, but pointing to an RSS feed would be preferable to attempting to parse the html of the pages.
