Unanswered Filter adds a new breadcrumb dropdown that allows users to filter a topic list by unanswered (0 replies) and answered topics (more than 1 reply). It was adapted from this post by @simon
Iâve just updated this topic to reflect some refactoring thatâs been done to this component.
Previously this component added an âunansweredâ button to the nav, but weâve added a little more functionality by switching this to a dropdown.
Old version, for reference:
If youâre looking to update to the new version, you can do so from admin > customize > themes, but be sure that youâve updated Discourse first. The new dropdown required a minor change in Discourse to enable the âansweredâ filter.
Thanks! Can you explain how to do that? Iâm a bit technically challengedâŚI am assuming it is this box below but for some reason it is not excluding those categories?
Hi @awesomerobot â Iâve just tried out the [previous behavior] âUnanswered filter linkâ component and itâs almost exactly what I need. There are just a couple of things on my wishlist:
Iâd love the ability to skip topics with specified categories and tags. Some informational topics donât really call for replies; they might be in a specific category, or be tagged as âdocumentation,â etc. Pinned âWelcomeâ posts, for example, could be excluded by a tag.
I wish âUnansweredâ would behave a bit more as New and Unread do: appear only when non-zero, and display a count. Itâs not as tempting to click when it appears there are no relevant unread topics.
With those additions it would be perfectâand, Iâd argue, should be added as core Discourse functionality.
