AI-generated summary

Users are discussing how to navigate to the /tags page. peternlewis suggests a UI change to access the page by selecting “all tags” while it’s already configured to “all tags.” Mittineague mentions that the /tags page can be accessed through the hamburger menu. peternlewis agrees but thinks it’d be better to access it from the top-left menus. cpradio provides a custom CSS/HTML code to add a “Tags” link to the navigation menu.

How do you navigate to the /tags page?

It seems it used to go there when you clicked the “all tags” button, but now that just displays all the tags. I see now it asks as kind of a filter, so you need to be able to select the all tags setting.

But might I suggest a subtle UI change - if you select “all tags” while it is already configured to “all tags” that it opens the /tags page?

Otherwise is there some way for the user to actually get to this page?

I don’t know how others do, but I always use the link in the hamburger menu when I want to see the Tags page.

Yes, I just spotted it there, never noticed it was there. I still think it’d be nice to get to it from the menus at the top left (same for Categories really). It’s where you first look for them since they are prominent there.

Try adding this to your customize > css/html > in the </body> area

<script>
  Discourse.ExternalNavItem = Discourse.NavItem.extend({
    href : function() {
      return this.get('href');
    }.property('href')
  });

  I18n.translations.en.js.filters.tags = { title: "Tags", help: "View all Tags" };

  Discourse.NavItem.reopenClass({
    buildList : function(category, args) {
      var list = this._super(category, args);
      if(!category) {
        list.push(Discourse.ExternalNavItem.create({href: '/tags', name: 'tags'}));
      }
      return list;
    }
  });
</script>
