Using Discourse Docs Plugin for Site Search and Navigation
The Discourse Docs plugin is a powerful tool for filtering and sorting through topics on a Discourse site, not just limited to Knowledge Base articles. denvergeeks suggests using it as a supplementary Search tool with an efficient “drill-down” capability.
Customizing the Plugin
jamierobinson asked if the word “docs” in the menu can be changed, and Jagster and denvergeeks provided the solution: go to https://yoursite.com/admin/customize/site_texts and modify the text. For example, denvergeeks changed it to “All Posts”.
Adding Additional Functionality
denvergeeks also suggested adding the Docs Card Filter Theme Component to add more functionality and customization options, such as custom background images and icons. An example can be found at https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-docs-card-filter/187947.
Discourse Docs plugin is not just great for Knowledge Base Topics.
This plugin also works splendidly to provide users a powerful tool for filtering and sorting through all of the Topics on a Discourse site.
While you can certainly designate and limit the Categories to provide searching across only a subset of Topics such as Knowledge Base articles, you can also think of Discourse Docs as a supplementary Search tool with an efficient “drill-down” capability…
This is quite spooky as exactly the thing I have been thinking about! Is there any way to change the word “docs” to something else in the menu?
