Kanban Board

[kOS (KilianS)]

Hi guys, I love this Component so much! It makes Discourse a Slack Replacer, for me.

However, I wonder if we can improve a few things, either in general or for ourselves. Im not techy enough to get the solution on my own. Please help me out

Any chance how we can display the Board in “fullscreen” by default?
This is the HTML of the Button Im referring to.

          <button class="btn btn-icon-text btn-transparent" type="button">
<svg class="fa d-icon d-icon-discourse-expand svg-icon svg-string" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><use href="#discourse-expand"></use></svg>      <span class="d-button-label">Toggle fullscreen<!----></span>
    </button>

This is an amazing feature. Thanks for everyone who has added to it. I have a request for improvement.

I am filtering by tags within a subcategory, and ordered the columns by using the syntax recommendation in the “default modes” field of the Kanban Board Component screen. Essentially, I have “stages” that topic cards move through in a specific order of columns, which are represented by a Tag Group for the “stage” tags.

I have another Tag Group for “themes”. Each topic in the subcategory could have multiple theme tags, which are describing what type of project each topic fits into, like “ui features” or “backend development”.

Then in the “default view” setting of that same Kanban Board component screen, I select the subcategory in which the Board should be the default view. Go to that subcategory in the UI and you will see the board as the default view, as expected. Looking at the filters at the top, I see category and subcategory are populated. The “tags” filter is unpopulated. In this situation, while viewing all topics on the board divided by “stage” columns, I want to use the “tags” filter for “theme” tags. For example, if I select “ui features” in the tags filter, it should shift the board view to only show topics with that “theme” tag, in their respective “stage” columns.

When selecting that theme tag, it correctly only shows topics with that theme, but it defaults you back to the global default view, which in my case is “Latest” instead of “Board”. Sure, you can click “Board” again and it shows the view I’m hoping to achieve, but it is a bad UI experience to have to click back into the Board, especially for my audience which includes non-tech savvy people.

Hey all,

Sorry a new user here (Appreciate this may be an annoying question)

I am really struggling with the following:

Setting up the component
adding it to just one specific category.

Example

I have normal discussion categories, but I wanted to create a Kanban style known issues section but I just cannot get it set up.

Any suggestions for a newbie welcomed.

Thanks Joe

You can configure the categories where the board is shown with the Display categories theme settings.

You navigate to /admin/customize/components/, select the Kanban board component, adjust the setting (don’t forget to click to save). I think you have to reload the website once for your changes to be visible.

Thanks,

I tried this and nothing, not sure what is causing this not to work

[Joe_F (Joe Farrar)]

This is awesome would love to learn how you achieved this!

[Joe_F (Joe Farrar)]

So, I can get the “Board” when I don’t select a category for it be on only such as my screenshot:

I also want it to be the default view in that category but as you can see that does not happen:

I am lost at what I could be doing wrong

[Moin]

I think you need to use the category slug instead of the name in the settings. It’s probably something like known-issues

Perfect that worked!

Now I need to work out how to fix this:

Getting there!

Sorry to be that person, does anyone know how to fix this issue?
