Discourse comment-like discussion

Peteecious inquires about creating per-page comment threads separate from forum threads. He wants to dedicate one topic to each page on their web app for independent commenting.

Falco responds with a solution using the Discourse JavaScript embedding feature. He confirms that per-page topics will show up on the main forum topic list but suggests setting the category holding those topics to “Suppress category from latest topics” to avoid clutter.

Peteecious thanks Falco for the helpful response.

Hi,

So discourse looks to me like a great forum platform. Ability to start topics, join in, etc.

However, we also need ability to have the commonly seen per-page comment threads that are separate from forum threads.

Is there a way to essentially have 1 topic dedicated to every page on our web app so that people can start independent commenting threads on each page?

Would these per-page topics show up on the main forum topic list? If so, is there a way to filter them out so that forum consists of only topics that aren’t page specific?

Thank you!
Pete
