New Users > Starting Registration with a Prompt/Post

[Werner_Puchert]

I’ve seen this done with other Discourse platforms I have used. During registration, the user is asked a general interest topic question like “What is your favourite book, and why?”.

The answer to this Question becomes a post in your Discourse platform and that specific users’ first post.

For the life of me, I can not find any reference to that feature and my extensive searching has been futile. Can anybody send me in the right direction?

(In fact any features relating to stimulating initial interaction - my platform will have numerous newbie users and potential lurkers).

I think you are referring to this third-party plugin

Custom Wizard Plugin

It is now much easier to subscribe for the advanced features Now all you have to do is hit ‘Subscribe’ from the admin page of the installed Custom Wizard Plugin and follow the prompts, and Authorize it once it is set up. Easy as! Of course, the basic (still quite powerful) Wizard functionality works just fine without a subscription. Summary Forms for Discourse. This plugin lets you make rich and powerful forms for your Discourse forum. Better user onboard…

Thanks for this feedback @dax I realise now (and I might be wrong). I have a hosted basic plan for Discourse.

Thus, I either have to self-host OR upgrade my plan right?

Yes, you are right. To install a third party plugin you need to upgrade to an Enterprise plan or switch to self-hosted
