If I can embed Discourse on another site, surely it should be possible to embed a list of 5 topics in a topic from a specific group, category or unlisted in the same Discourse instance ? What is the best practice ?
Thanks.

The discussion revolves around embedding a list of topics from a specific group, category, or unlisted in the same Discourse instance. JacobDK inquires about the best practice for achieving this. nathank also expresses interest in learning how to do this and later shares a workaround using Zapier integration and webhooks nathank.
However, JacobDK clarifies that he wants a solution for the same forum, not a different Discourse instance. nathank acknowledges the misunderstanding and shares his method, which may not be suitable for JacobDK’s needs.
huynhthai824 suggests creating a plugin to embed topics from one category into another, offering to donate for the development. He also tags neil, who responds that customizing the House Ads plugin for this purpose is out of scope and recommends creating a separate plugin.
I’d like to know how to do that too. Basically to have a topic which shows a selection of recent topics from another Discourse forum.
Following up on this, I’ve achieved it via using a Zapier integration and webhooks. Let me know if anyone wants more details.
I am not sure I made it clear, that I wanted a solution where I could make a post wiki, and in that post show the 5 latest topics from another category in the same forum. And not from another Discourse-instance.
But I am interested in knowing what you did and achieved anyways. I would like more details.
Thank you.
Yeah, I missed that sorry.
What I’ve managed to do might also work for you, but it would be quite a pfaff. And I’m not sure what you mean by putting it into a wiki; this puts each new Topic as a post in a single topic:
Do your mind, @JacobDK ?
topics of category discourse (1) will embed in a special category of Discourse (2)
Or in Discourse (2) will aupost topic with content have link to topis Discourse (1)
Excuse me nathankershaw , thank for sharing but i think, Zapier will post 2 topic same a content, instead we can create topic but link to topic before.
Can you build a plugin to do it?
I can donate for you!
Hello @neil, can you customize this plugin House Ads in the official Ad Plugin become embeb topic’s a category of other Discourse and display them in a special category Discourse as HOUSE ADS 
Is it possible?
No that’s out of scope for house ads. It should be a separate plugin.
