There’re some special pages in Discourse: About, FAQ, ToS, Privacy. All of them can be changed except About.
I like the idea to have some fixed standard pages in every forum. But why About cannot be customized?
What I need for customizing About page:
ability to write some long text with markup (images, emails, phones, other website for contacts)
remove automatically created list of admins and moderators (can be done via css currently).
Also there’re links to these pages in main hamburger menu. But only for About and FAQ.
I’d like to be able to add links to other pages in this menu.
Then of cause we need an ability to create such (static) pages. Currently it could be just unlisted closed topics, but we still need an ability to add links to the hamburger menu.
Sure, but it doesn’t work. It’s just text for meta in page head. So it’s limited. If you try add more content in that description in Admin/Settings it won’t save (“an error occurred”).
Well, I want to assign some people to be admins but it’s just for a case, I don’t want other people see that they are admins.
Thanks! But I was thinking about adding links into the hamburger menu (not profile):
If I may follow-up on this: I would also like to add some more text and some links to the about page. While it would be great to simply have an html-text field in the settings where I could add this information, I would be perfectly happy to add this via the CSS for nor, but I’m not sure how to do it…
I’m not sure, but every time you open a new tab of your forum you might see different IDs (the last time I looked there was about 2 years ago but I think nothing has changed since then). Try to open it in incognito mode or with different browsers.
Hi @tophee. I’m also interested in how I modify the about page. We have a lot of people visiting our site from elsewhere and we want this to provide an intro about who we are and why we have set up the forum.
Have managed to add in some paragraphs but I cannot style it.
Has anyone else been able to modify the text on the “about” page - even making some text bold and adding hyperlinks?
