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.

I think It’s Time We Talked About Tags

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?

Do you’d need to be able to have different groups of tags… Set up structured tagging with tag groups and category tag restrictions
