The discussion revolves around replacing the default About and Guidelines pages in Discourse with custom ones. dalerka wants to replace the default pages with external links, but was unsuccessful with creating custom permalinks. HAWK suggests hiding the existing links using CSS and adding custom hamburger menu links. However, dalerka is looking for a solution without using CSS hacks, similar to how custom Privacy and Terms of Service pages are used. Meanwhile, robertziege tried HAWK’s CSS solution but was unable to remove the FAQ link from the hamburger menu.
How do I do the following?
I would like to replace the default About page at forum.host.tld/about with a static About page I have at www.host.tld/about or redirect the former route to the later one.
I’d like to do this for the default Guidelines page as well.
Tried creating custom Permalinks within the Discourse like:
/about => (external) => https://host.tld/about
forum.host.tld/about => (external) => https://host.tld/about
But it did not help.
You could hide the existing links in the hamburger menu using CSS
.menu-container-faq-link, .nav-item-faq, .nav-item-tos, .nav-item-guidelines {
display: none;
}
and then add custom hamburger menu links
Thanks, I know I can hide things, but that’s not the point.
I think it should be possible just to use own custom About pages, just like Privacy and Terms of Service.
(i.e. without monkeypatching)
