I am interested in setting up a forum with the look and feel of the following
How easy is it to do this on my own? And what are the key plugins required to get this look and feel ?
Best Regards,
DG
I think it’s mostly their CSS and the Topic Lists Preview plugin
Are these plugins included in the free discourse source code?
As in if I use Digital Ocean and vultr, will they be automatically installed or at least an option provided?
Or I have to download them separately and then install them ?
I guess Communiteq (formerly DiscourseHosting) and nodechef will make such installations easier ?
Thanks a lot.
Actually, You have to install the plugin regardless of how you decide to install discourse.
I’d highly recommend installing by hand using the official 30 minutes install guide.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md
Installing a plugin on discourse is super simple. You have to ssh into your discourse server then follow these instructions:
You want to follow the install instructions below, not the digital ocean one click. See also https://www.literatecomputing.com/discourse-self-hosting-faq/
On Communiteq (formerly DiscourseHosting) you can just request it.
Is this available in the $ 20 Basic Plan to start with ?
From what I’m seeing no you would need the next plan up unless they changed their pricing since I last tried them then moved to self hosted
We’re seeing so much demand for the topic preview plugin that we’re going to include it in the Basic plan.
However, there is still a bug in that plugin that makes things look weird if the plugin is disabled.
However! In the meanwhile we’ll give it to users that request it.
They don’t actually use the Topic List Previews plugin at all, the topics in the carousel on the homepage are displayed using a custom theme component. The topics are set with tags and pulled in as jcarousel slides using AJAX. The images are set using a field in the theme settings.
The rest of the look of their site is custom CSS in a theme.
Anyway, that being said Topic List Previews is probably the easiest way to get something similar at the moment. We don’t have a “featured topics” theme component available yet (but it seems like a popular request, so maybe that will change in the future).
@michaeld 이 토론 정말 좋습니다. 우리가 원했던 바로 이것이기 때문이죠. 현재 우리는 베이직 플랜을 사용 중입니다. 버그가 수정되었나요? 이 부분을 도와주실 수 있을까요?
그리고, 전체에 적용하기 전에 먼저 시도해 보고 우리가 원하는지 확인해 볼 수 있을까요?
Discourse 코어에 해당 기능의 일부가 포함되어 있으므로, 결국 Basic 플랜에 Topic Lists Preview 플러그인을 포함하지 않기로 결정했습니다.
@michaeld 감사합니다. 그러면 베이직 플랜이 아니면 포럼 게시물 위에 이미지를 올릴 수 없다는 뜻인가요? 아니면 다른 대안이 있을까요? 만약 있다면 어떻게 해야 하나요?
이것에 가장 가까운 형태는 무엇일까요?
현재 저희 커뮤니티는 이런 모습입니다 - https://community.whatevertogether.org/
도움 주시면 정말 감사하겠습니다.
감사합니다
