AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around hiding topics from a specific user on a Discourse site if those topics have no replies. thebravoman wants to achieve this for topics created automatically when a user visits a page with no comments. pfaffman suggests using the “hide from front page” category setting, but notes it doesn’t meet the specific criteria. thebravoman confirms this limitation. pfaffman proposes a plugin-based solution to move topics to a different category when the first reply is posted. simon suggests using Discourse webhooks and the API to unlist topics when published and list them when a reply is received, citing the Discourse WordPress plugin as an example.

Hi,

I would like to hide all the topics from a certain user that have no replies? How could I do this?

We are using discourse at https://www.fllcasts.com (site). You can check out the live version at https://discourse.fllcasts.com.

When a user visits a page at the site a comment section is showed below. We are embedding discourse below the pages. If a topic for this url does not exist a new topic is created at https://discourse.fllcasts.com.

Problem is that we have a lot of new pages with empty comments(yet) and they are all showed on the front page of discourse.

There is a “hide from front page” category setting that I think will do almost what you want.

There is. Suppress this category from the homepage.

But is there “Suppress this category from the homepage if it is created by this user and it has no replies”.

Only the blank once created automatically should be suppressed in our case

There is not. I think the solution might be a plugin that moved those topics to a different category when the first reply is posted.

Cela pourrait être résolu en utilisant les webhooks et l’API de Discourse pour masquer les sujets lorsqu’ils sont publiés pour la première fois, puis pour les réafficher lorsqu’ils reçoivent une réponse. Cette approche est pertinente pour les sites Discourse où les utilisateurs peuvent accéder aux sujets depuis un site externe.

Le plugin WordPress pour Discourse propose une option qui fonctionne de manière similaire.
