Hi Guys, Just setting up a new forum, looking to add a directory of businesses/services?
Any ideas?
Maybe create a category for them and allow people to create topics for each business?
Maybe use tags for services?
제이에게 정말 좋은 아이디어가 있습니다. 비즈니스 수가 정해져 있다면 Page Publishing에서 다양한 옵션을 선택할 수 있습니다.
다양한 테마 컴포넌트, 예를 들어
다양한 헤더 메뉴 옵션
Header Submenus
Customization > Theme component 채널에서 더 많은 옵션을 찾을 수 있습니다.
링크 배너

그리고 아마도 훨씬 더 많은 옵션이 있을 것입니다. 물론 디스커스(Discourse)이니까요. 
Maybe think of it in terms of what aspect of Discourse (technically, what model in the Discourse database) comes closest to representing the key elements of a business.
None of these seem to fit:
- post
- topic
- tag
- category
I think a ‘group’ is a good match for a business. Discourse groups have fields for:
- name
- description
- owners
- members
- an (optional) badge that can be used to distinguish group members
- an (optional) email domain that can be used to automatically add users to the group
- an (optional) incoming email address that can be used to message the group on the forum via email
- permissions (that can be used to manage category permissions, etc)
Those fields seem to map to the aspects of a business that you might want to represent on a forum. Discourse also has a “groups directory” and individual group pages. I suspect that the groups directory could become your business directory with little to no custom work.
Obviously, this all depends on your specific use case. If businesses are not a key part of your forum, you might want to take a different approach.
Interesting idea. If you need to be able to have users be members of the businesses and know a priori what they are so that an admin can add them, this is a test idea.
If you just want a list of these businesses, using a category, perhaps with a template, may be what you want to do. This way anyone could contribute new businesses. But you’d not be able for people to join the business.
It would be a great idea if it was possible to create “custom group types”:
That would give you a business directory at https://forum.example.com/g?type=business
Without that feature, it could work well if businesses were the primary focus of the forum - so the groups page would essentially become a business directory.
