So far, there are three modes. Categories, tags, and assignment. You can drag topics between lists to change the corresponding attributes:
Lists are âlazy-loadedâ, so performance is reasonable, even for very large numbers of categories. You can enter fullscreen mode for even more space to organise your projects:
The default board mode will be automatically determined using these criteria:
If this is the top level, use categories mode
If this is a category, and there are sub-categories, use categories mode
Otherwise, use tags mode. (Lists built from âtop tagsâ list)
You can change the board mode using the filter button on the left, and configuration changes will be reflected in the URL. Users can bookmark their favorite configuration in their browser. Administrators can customize the defaults per-category in the theme settings.
A list of categories where the âBoardâ button should appear. If left blank, it will be shown everywhere. Use @ to denote the top level view.
default modes
Override the default board mode for each category. Use the syntax category:mode:params. For example, support:assigned:david,sam,joffrey. Use @ to denote the top level view. Use @untagged to display an untagged column.
default view
A list of categories where the âBoardâ is the default view. Does not yet support the top level default view.

@david one of our team made those changes you suggested to the Tag mod that @artysidorenko made. Would you like to check it out?
@david are those changes enough to merge our code into your plugin?
or are there further changes needed? i hope we can get it resolved before the next codebase update puts our addition behind and requiring more work again.
Hi @ninjapenguin, thanks for the PR - I put a response on there. Unfortunately it still needs some changes before we can merge it. In particular, the issue around multiple AJAX requests needs to be resolved, otherwise clients will be rate-limited.
None of the options display categories, default modes and default view are working for me.
Iâve seen replies like this on the thread and tried to replicate, but itâs just not working
Sure! I have a number of categories that follow this settings format:
display categories: category_slug
default modes: category_slug:tags:to-do,doing,done
The other thing that I think I want, and I usually hate stuff like this, is to have another set of tags that can be used to set the color. I have today in a column but want to have colors for different types of jobs. How hard is it to add a div for tags?
There is this version which makes the kanban boards work with tags, and adds a âboardâ tab to tag pages. It contained an error which sent too many requests, and so was never merged into the main plugin.
Unfortunately the developer who made the update dropped out and so the bug was never resolved, although itâs been running fine on our site until the latest Discourse update. Youâd be very welcome to use it if that would resolve your issue. @david commented on what needed done here, before it becomes a part of his main Kanban plugin code
Great work, @david. We have one use case where it would be helpful if the topics in each column were sorted by date created, rather than date of last reply. Is this possible? If itâs not a simple thing, I can go to marketplace, but any clues would be appreciated.
Is it possible to set this to only show specified tags site-wide?
I can set the options i need on some categories individually, but i want it to display only 4 tags for all categories and subcategories across the whole site (backlog, sprint, doing, done)
Iâve stumbled on the same issue : After setting a categorie to the kanban view, switching to another categorie that is not supposed to have the ability to show kanban board, actually does.
My configuration is set as to being allowed on tags and on two categories only.
Just as you mentionned though : reloading the discourse start page resets everything back to normal.
Iâm on current tests-pass and version 1.0 of the component.
How do I set kanban as the default category view? Using tags mode. Board shows up as a selectable option in the menu, but Iâd like to assign it as the default view for the category. Iâve tried customizing the component settings, but it just wonât display as default category view.
How can users of a kanban board âdeleteâ a topic which is on the kanban board? They normally get a message, that deleting is not possible and they should contact moderator.
After moving a topic to the last column (= done), are these topics âcleaned-upâ automatically or how can this be achieved?
Is there any way to set this to only show tags from one tag-group sitewide?
I have it on tags mode and only want it to create a list for some tags across the site and not others. Users will be able to use tags like normal and the only ones which will create a column in the tags board are the tag-group âmanufacturersâ.
For example,
On my site the Kanban component is set to only create Kanban columns on all boards for the tag-group âmanufacturersâ.
If a user creates a thread and enters these tags: Honda, Convertible, Frank, Paris. The only tag which would create its own list in the board is âHondaâ.
I get the impression this is already possible using the params in âdefault modeâ setting, but i tried for hours and cant work it out.
