同じドメイン内で複数のフォーラムを設定することは可能でしょうか？

複数の製品をホストするプラットフォームを立ち上げる予定ですので、各製品のフォーラムを分離しつつ、ドメインは統一したいと考えています。

よろしくお願いいたします！

A couple possibilities I can think of. Depends if the products are actually related / have lots of overlapping users, vs. if they’re e.g. totally separate user groups but the forums just happen to be owned by the same parent company.

If they’re related, could make sense to have each product as a category, and use subcategories under those. Could use category permissions so only certain people see certain top level product categories.

Or if you want them as totally distinct forums, probably best to install each forum on a separate subdomain. You wouldn’t have to buy extra domain names but each forum would be separately installed on a subdomain so you’d have e.g. product1.maindomain.com, product2.maindomain.com, and product3.maindomain.com. You could add some kind of shared menu if you want them separate but still interlinked in some way.

For more specific advice would be good to have more detail on what exactly you’re looking to do in terms of how these forums relate to each other, who the users are, etc.

Hi @bts, thanks for the response.

It’s a gaming platform and we will have different games in different languages, so even though some users could overlap on multiple games, we need features such as the “Latest messages”, “Pin Globally” and “Pin Banner” to be exclusive to the forums themselves.

For example, if game 1 is available in language A and game 2 is available in language B, we don’t want global announcements for game 1 to show up in game 2’s forum as it won’t have any relevancy.

That being the case, would this suggestion be the path?

Or if you want them as totally distinct forums, probably best to install each forum on a separate subdomain. You wouldn’t have to buy extra domain names but each forum would be separately installed on a subdomain so you’d have e.g. product1.maindomain.com , product2.maindomain.com , and product3.maindomain.com .

Do you mean de.yourdomain.com, en.yourdomain.com and so on? (or en.game1.yourdomain.com?) I don’t know how it would even be possible to have forum.yourdomain.com somehow be different if someone is thinking of a different game.

If it’s really language that you care about, you could have one forum and have people join a group to gain access to categories in whatever language (and game) that they like. It’s a bit confusing because they’d have to know to join the right group, but you could conceivably work that out, especially if all categories required group membership. (But if you did that, then Google couldn’t index anything)

We have experience hosting forums for big game franchises and we recommend doing one instance per locale/game.

Eg:

That way you can scale instance resources according to how popular is each game in each language.

That is good, but expensive. :wink:

For companies with smaller budgets it might be OK to start with categories for different games, and subcategories for language within the games.

@Falco さん、こんにちは。
以前の投稿を読んでいるのですが、私も同様のものをホストすることに興味があります。ただし、複数のフォーラム間で同じユーザーIDを維持したいと考えています。

Discourseフォーラムの良い点は、異なるカテゴリがホームページに画像、説明、およびトピックの数（トップ/最新）とともに表示されることです（モバイルビュー）。これはデスクトップでも可能でしょうか？オプションとして見当たりません。
しかし、サブカテゴリを作成し、親カテゴリ内に移動すると、トピックがすべて一緒にリストされ、カテゴリ全体としての画像、説明、トピックの表示が失われてしまいます。

私の質問は、以下のいずれがセルフホスト可能かということです：

  1. ホームページに「親カテゴリ（画像＋説明）＋上位5つのサブカテゴリ」→「サブカテゴリ（画像＋説明）＋上位5つのトピック」→「トピックリスト」を表示できるテーマはありますか？
  2. 同じユーザーでサインイン可能なマルチサイト構成：
    ParentCategoryA.discourse.example.com（親カテゴリAに関する別々のフォーラム）
    ParentCategoryB.discourse.example.com（親カテゴリBに関する別々のフォーラム）
  3. 異なるカテゴリリストをサポートするフォーラムページ：
    discourse.example.com/supercategoryA（スーパーカテゴリAに関連するすべてのカテゴリをリスト）
    discourse.example.com/supercategoryB（スーパーカテゴリBに関連するすべてのカテゴリをリスト）

あらかじめありがとうございます。
