I am pretty sure that would work, but I really like this idea as an option for staff. Could be as simple as a checkbox in the topic editor. If we are adding a checkbox, the option to create a Closed topic would be great as well.
And I agree with @erlend_sh that it should just be adopted as a best practice. However, admins/staff should be warned about the “unlisting” notification gotcha. It should be documented somewhere…
Hi,
I’m interested in doing this via the discourse ruby gem (preferably) or some other automated way.
I can’t figure out the right argument to pass into the DiscourseClient#create_topic though, and it doesn’t appear to be in the documentation as a parameter in a plain curl call, or in the discourse-rails docs… I’ve also tried a few guesses like visible:false and unlisted:true Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me it’s not a feature?
