Topic Ratings Plugin

plugin
120

Hey

Yes, it’s possible. In a separate plugin you could add a new topic list that sorts topics based on the average_rating topic custom field.

Here’s an example of how to create a new topic list that is sorted by a custom field:

Well, you’ll need a sidebar first. Then a widget that has a topic list in it. Here’s some I prepared earlier:

https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-layouts
https://github.com/angusmcleod/layouts-topic-list

So all you need to do is change the topic list in the layouts-topic-list widget to the topic list you created in your new plugin.

  1. Follow the beginners guide to creating a plugin

  2. Add the layouts plugin with the topic list widget

  3. Copy / paste the new topic list code I’ve linked above

  4. Change a few variable names and urls in the topic list widget and the topic list code.
