The discussion is about creating a custom page with a filtered list of topics created by founding members in a community. alex_VIDAL wants to add this page to the top navigation bar, but is having trouble achieving this natively or with theme components and plugins. NateDhaliwal suggests using the /filter feature, but notes that it’s limited in that it can’t specify topics made by a specific group. alex_VIDAL has tried filtering by tag, but the layout is different from the default homepage views. NateDhaliwal suggests hiding the filter box and button using CSS, but alex_VIDAL wants to maintain the same view as the Latest, My Posts, and Bookmarks pages. RGJ recommends a plugin, Homepage Filter Plugin, which can filter posts made by users in a specific group, and NateDhaliwal thinks this is a perfect solution.
Hello,
Our community has founding members (group), i’d like to add a page to the top nav that shows a list of the latest topics created by founding members.
i cant seem to figure out how to achieve tis natively or by usng different theme-component or plugin.
i’ve managed to add custom item to top nav, bu cant figure out how to create the actual custom page with filtered list.
Any help is appreciated.
I think you can play around with /filter to achieve this. The only limitation I see on this is that you cannot specify topic which were made by a specific group, as in any member of the group.
thanks,
yes i tried, i can filter by tag so thats good enough, my issue is that the layout is different from the default homepage views.
Yes… you can probably hide the filter box and button using CSS.
May I ask which part makes it look different?
Yes, I see what you mean. The other buttons and links disppear. I’m not sure if there’s anything that can be done 
.
Then you can show a link of the /tag/tag-name that will display the list of topics with that tag.
Check out my plugin Homepage Filter plugin
It adds a new discovery page called “Home” which filters for posts made by users in a specific group that you can configure in the settings. It shouldn’t be hard to change the name “Home” to something else.
Wow! That’s perfect!
