Hi!
I would like to dislay a brief presentation of my forum on the top of the home page, which is the Categories page.
Is it possible in Discourse ? I didn’t found any answer at the moment …
Thx!
In a support thread titled “Display presentation in Categorie Home page,” poka asks how to display a brief forum presentation at the top of the Categories home page in Discourse. Falco suggests using either a banner text (via Site Settings) or a banner topic (via the wrench icon on a topic). dax adds that pinning a topic as an announcement is also possible, referencing discuss.moe as an example, and clarifies that banner text cannot be closed by users, while banner topics can. poka follows up, asking what the “admin wrench” is and noting they couldn’t find the banner options in settings. Falco links to a meta Discourse guide explaining the new banner topic pin type. Finally, poka confirms they found the feature — now accessed by clicking “pin topic” and selecting a pin type — and shares a screenshot (in French), suggesting better communication about this feature would be helpful.

You can use a banner text (Site Settings) or a banner topic for that (wrench icon on the topic).
Sure, you can pin a topic (by admin wrench) and make it like an announcement.
Take a look here https://discuss.moe/ to see an example.
The difference is that the users cannot close the banner text, the banner topic can be closed.
Thank you!
But what’s admin wrench ? Is it a plugin ?
And I don’t find the banner text or banner topic in the Discourse Settings …
Thank you @Falco! I found it.
In fact, the menu changed, we have to click on “pin topic” then a box is displayed:
(Sorry it’s french
)
I think that should be interesting to communicate about this ![]()
Bye!
