Reading: How is the Banner at meta.discourse.org created?

The banner at the top of a Discourse forum, such as the “Upcoming Event” banner you mentioned, is created using a theme component. The specific theme component used on Discourse Meta is the Welcome Link Banner.

To use this theme component, you can follow these steps:

  1. From your Discourse instance, go to Admin > Customize > Themes.
  2. Click on Install > From a git repository.
  3. Enter the URL of the theme component (https://github.com/awesomerobot/discourse-welcome-banner) and click Install.
  4. Once installed, you can add the theme component to your active theme.

The banner is fully customizable. You can edit the text, links, and visibility settings from the theme component settings.

To remove the banner:

  1. Go to Admin > Customize > Themes.
  2. Click on your active theme.
  3. Under the Theme Components section, find the Welcome Link Banner and click on Remove.

Please note that you need to have admin privileges to perform these actions.
