Hi everyone,

I’m trying to replicate the beautiful “Community Highlights” section seen on the n8n community forum (screenshot attached). It’s that horizontal carousel at the top of the homepage featuring announcements, stories, and events — very eye-catching and effective!

I’ve searched through many posts and documentation, but most results are about code syntax highlighting (like highlight.js or similar), which is not what I’m looking for.

Could anyone tell me:

  • Is this a built-in Discourse feature?

  • Or is it powered by a specific plugin (e.g., “Discourse Carousel”, “Custom HTML Widget”, etc.)?

  • If it’s custom-built, is there any guidance or repo available?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! :folded_hands:

Welcome to Meta :wave:

It’s a custom theme component. I don’t think it’s public. At least, I cannot find the “n8n - community highlights” component here on Meta.

There are other components that highlight topics. For example, Homepage Feature and Featured Topics. Maybe one of these will work for you.

Showcased Categories and Featured Lists might work too

Yes, the main difference I see is that the n8n component shows latest topics from a category, while the community components here on meta tend to feature topics based on a tag, featured by default.

In general you want to browse through Theme component for adding new interface features to your community.
