What plugins do you use - and why?

Community Building

AI-generated summary

Several Discourse forum owners shared their plugin usage in this discussion. Stranik mentioned the Static Pages Plugin (dl-static-pages), which allows adding separate pages with custom designs, and the Data Explorer Plugin, necessary for gathering community data.

SidV only uses official plugins, which they also translate to Spanish, in hopes that they will become part of the core soon. Specifically, SidV uses Data Explorer for community insights, Discourse Solved for support sites, and Advertising Plugin for Discourse for ad revenue.

Hi,

I’m curious what plugins established Discourse forum owners are using - and why. It’d be interesting to understand not only what plugin(s) you use, but what purpose you use it for. Hopefully this sparks some new ideas for everyone.

I really like the plugin: Static Pages Plugin (dl-static-pages)
https://meta.discourse.org/t/static-pages-plugin-dl-static-pages/69698

But for my needs no need to install separate plugin. I created a test plugin that will add what you need for your site.

This plugin is not used on the website, I did it to show the implementation of several pages.

And display topics from: /top/monthly.json

Example: demo 1 and demo 2

The code can be viewed here:

Sometimes the website just needs a separate page with its design, etc.

Data Explorer Plugin

This plugin is simply necessary to get different data for use in their work.

Hello.

I use and translate to spanish only official plugins with the hope they will be part of core soon :blush:

Right now, I’m using:

  • Data Explorer, because if you do care your community, you will need more info about it :+1:
    Check this data explorer repo for more custom queries.
  • Discourse Solved, because every support site must use it: :white_check_mark:
  • Advertising Plugin for Discourse, because my forum needs ads for live too :stuck_out_tongue:

Regards
