Enable/disable voting for tags?

Feature

Hi!

First of all, amazing plugin!

Can voting be enabled/disabled for tags? The way we have configured our forum, we only need specific tags to have voting enabled.

Thanks!

I hear you, but I worry about adding too many options here to the plugin. This is the first time I heard this request. Is there a reason why categories are not working for you here? Can you provide with a concrete example?

i like this. the use case i envisage is simply having a ‘voting’ tag. then a category can have normal posts and posts where voting is wanted. its like an individual flip switch that can be used as and when needed.

Hello, I’m thinking about implementing the Discourse Topic Voting Plugin for my community, however, I don’t think I should create a separate category for this as it isn’t substantial enough to deserve it’s own category, but it is enough for it’s own tag.

I’d like for this plugin to be able to be set for a tag, not just a category if that’s possible. Thanks.

I’ve slipped your post over to the existing feature request to group them together. :+1:

Some like organizing topics by categories(no tags or minimal). Some like using Tags as a primary method to organize topics with minimal categories. And others do a my hybrid

A category that has topics arranged by tags. Makes sense for ppl to vote on topic tags vs category topics. This will of course be dependent of the host’s intended used.

With keeping potentially bloat down in a plugin. Maybe fork could be made to have a category support topic voting by tags?

If you consider someone making a Reddit like clone. The Category is a sub forum with Tags being used vs subcategories to make things easier for the end user.

A basic example

Category Movies
Tags

  • SciFi
  • Comedy
  • Drama
    Etc…

Each tag might be a topic Tag to vote on individually. Ie best SciFi movie votes. Each tag topic category can be voted on for that genre.

One caveats I can see is likely would need if voting Topics within a tag. Likely need to restrict topics to one tag… With maybe an exception for forums using tags for languages?
