I would like to know if we have a feature like topic title flair as known from reddit? Im building a new forum and to categories the topic I will use tags. But to categories the topic type I could use topic flairs as known from reddit. Do we have a plugin like that? I did search but I might have missed it… :slight_smile: When posting on reddit [Skærmbillede 2021-10-21 kl. 08.26.29] Topic list; [Skærmbillede 2021-10-21 kl. 08.27.04]

This would be lovely to have! It would add a little bit of color into the topic list, which would look great in my opinion!

I have created a plugin before. I’m not sure is that what you want. [image] Discourse Coloring Tag Theme component This is a Discourse theme component that allows admin to change tag’s background color and text color. Repository Link https://github.com/RailForWork/Discourse-Coloring-Tag [image] Theme Settings Comma delimited in this order: Tag Name,Background Color,Text Color. Tag Name: What your Tag Name is. Background Color: Background Color of the tag. Text Color: Decide the text color in the tag. A correct example for settings will be: [Theme-component,#ffffff,black.] (Both Background color an…

I may have a look at that one. But what I basiclly is looking for is a addon to the tags feature or how to explain… :thinking: I would like to have 2 set of tags. A set that works as tags in the native discourse And a set that describe the type of post. Eg this tag/flair is added ahead of the topic title - like in the image above. Does it make sense?

It will not solve my issue. Let say my forum is a smartphone forum. I would have e.g. 2 categories Apple Android In Apple I would have tags like iphone8, Iphone12 In the Android forum I would have tags like; Samsung Galaxy, huawei p30 In each forum I could have different type of questions about Apps, Setup, Jailbrake - this would be the flair og Topic Title Flairs I would like to add to topics. Instead of having a huge list of subcatories where some is used very often - others with just a few post. I dont want this structure Apple –Apps –Setup –Jailbrake … Android –Apps –Setup –Jailbrake … It makes sense in a very huge and active forum. Not that much in a rather small one where –Apple –Android Would be fine with the tweaks I am looking for.

These are just tags. The component looks like a good suggestion.

Im not sure if I understand… could you be more specific?

Semantically, what you are asking for is a tag. @tachibanalolo has created a Component to decorate those tags in a similar fashion. Looks like a win to me. Categories don’t look like a good fit.

Well I still think that tags not fit my need 100%. In my case I would need my users to choose between 2 set of groups af tags one stock ticker: what stock is this about: ambu, solar, upst, etc… and then one typic type: like news, analysis, etc Eg I have these 2 groups [Skærmbillede 2021-10-22 kl. 10.16.15] At the moment when choosing tag the tags are mixed together and not grouped. The user should choose minimum 1 from ticker group and ONLY one from topic type… [Skærmbillede 2021-10-22 kl. 10.15.12] I can not see how I can solve that without something like topic flairs… any ideas?
