Discourse can now operate in a mode where all categories are default muted and users can opt in for categories they are interested in
Using the new feature (“all categories muted”) to what is being asked for here is like using hammer in place of a scalpel. Imagine if bookmarking didn’t exist, no one would want to implement that using this new feature.
Favoriting categories (and tags too) also has nothing to do notification level, mixing those two things together is very confusing; specially now that notifications levels have a “bell” icon.
Creating favorites is basically about users creating a feed of topics they are likely interested in for the same purpose as the Bookmark feature. In fact I think it should work identically to bookmarks from how its enabled/disabled, optional placement in tab bar, etc. The only additional item would be a “Star” button by the category notification level button.
Why favorite categories and tags? Some communities are large enough, that scrolling the topic feed is simply tedious. That doesn’t mean I want those categories or topics hidden if I do want to see all latest across the community, or if someone mentions a user that is not favorited that category or tag.
Hello,
What’s the latest status of this discussion? I’m on v2.7.0.beta5 and I’m seeing the “Favorite categories” field in the User Preferences>Interface page, so I assume someone’s added it as a core feature? However I can’t select any of the options, and/so I don’t see the expected Favorites tab on top, or in the drop down. (EDIT: turns out it wasn’t part of core, it was because of the plugin)
Also, the plugin doesn’t seem to be working. So is this a broken plugin, and a broken feature? has everyone settled on just muting the categories they don’t want to see?
Thanks.
Guess so, it’s still in #plugin:broken-plugin
我的用户一直在要求类似的功能。我们论坛上有一个非常活跃的类别,以至于“最新”选项卡中的主题可能有一半都来自该类别,这样您就会错过其他主题。
禁用该类别并不符合我们的用例。我会记得重新启用该类别,但我的许多用户不会,这对论坛不利。我们希望能够选择在(我们有大量集中精力和时间的日子里)浏览所有主题,包括高流量类别,或者(在我们时间不多的时候)浏览除该类别之外的所有主题。总之,+1 支持将此功能包含在核心功能中。
这与当前的“未读”页面相同,还是有其他不同之处?
您可以在 meta 上进行实验……从标题中选择“Focused Sidebar”主题……然后跟踪一些类别和标签。
太棒了。是的,这能满足我们所有的需求。迫不及待了!
