By default, discourses answers and replies to answers are organized chronologically [QUESTION] Answer #1 (Monday) Answer #2 (Tuesday, early) 1st reply to answer #2 (Tuesday, late) 2nd reply to answer #2 (Wednesday, early) 1st reply to answer #1 (Wednesday, late) 2nd reply to answer #1 (Friday) 3nd…

Discourse was designed for flat discussion. While we do store the reply_to_postnumber info, you’re going to have a really bad time if you want to do threading with Discourse.

If reply_to_postnumber is added the the post such as <div class="topic-post clearfix regular" data-reply_to_postnumber="107" style="min-height: 1018px"> ... </div> Then, some JS + CSS could do the sorting. Is that first part so hard ?

Nope. The JS part is the hardest.

For the reasons : Discourse has a lot of sugar and settings that the competition doesn’t really have, or not as clean. StackOverflow is great but doesn’t provide its soft, or too expensively (>=$175k). For the dev : Sorting out the posts via JS seems easy, but side effects happen on the right si…

The thing that’ll really screw you up when trying to do nested comments is that a single post can be a reply to multiple earlier posts. How you nest that (tuck the reply under the “first” replied-to post? the “biggest” reply? duplicate it under all the posts it replies to?) is something you’ll ne…

Clarification : only one more level wanted I want to have a single level of comments, put below an answer. Really like stackoverflow. No need for deep depth nor deep tree nesting. The basic idea is that we often don’t want long chit-chat, but just send a discrete note and request for clarification,…

[이미지] hugo_lpz: Reply to multiple earlier post ? I have difficulties to understand your “reply to multiple earlier posts” tho. You mean a reply (post=“6”) to a reply (post=“5”) to a reply (post=“3”)… produce that post 5 actually reply_to_postnumber="4, 3, 2" ?? No. reply_to_post_number wil…

Oh. I forgot about this “quote” functionality. lol. As usual, easy at first, then you get yourself into a long run. :joy:

The answer to your question is that yes this is possible to do this in a plugin, but this plugin doesn’t exist yet. Discourse core will probably not adopt this functionality (but I don’t speak for them) as Discourse is designed for discussions, not QA topics. Nevertheless, Discourse has a great plug…

[이미지] angus: Discourse is designed for discussions, not QA topics I think this is the crux of the issue. If you want something Stack Overflow-like, then there are plenty of open source SO clones out there (some of them eerily similar) that you can use. Trying to shoehorn Q&A into Discourse …
