File sharing sites, video upload sites, they all have a feature where you can have an “unlisted” file/video—the video/file exists, anyone can access it, it’s just not published anywhere.
I am looking to accomplish the same thing with Discourse categories and topics, and here’s why:
We are looking to use the Discourse option of embedding comments in other webpages, especially useful with Discourse auto-generating the topics. We plan to embed comments in all of our documentation pages, so each page can be discussed at the bottom by posting in the comments.
We don’t want this category of topics to show up the Discourse category view, latest topics, etc. though.
Any ideas on the best way to accomplish this with Discourse today?
I really like this! At first glance this sounds like it may be what I need. I need to see if people would still get notifications for replies and discussions within those topics still, though.
As a recent example, I Bert default muted the forum summaries category, and everybody still got lots of notifications for @mentions and linked topics from those…
We had to jump through a couple of contortions to limit them, so I’m reasonably confident notifications still make it out of a muted category.
