Post to flarum code snippet

codefx9

Hi,
I am looking for some code snippet that I can embed in my static website. Using the code snippet users of my site may start a new discussion in flarum. An advanced version of this code snippet can be used to start discussion on selected text from my website.

Does something like this already exist for flarum? If not, how can I build the basic version where users of my site can start a conversation clicking on a flarum button on my website.

Thanks.

codefx9 You make want to look at the API

I am hoping that you could use an HTML or PHP block on your website to add a link that would replicate the " Start Discussion " button on your website's desired page. As for the second part, I have not seen anything on flarum, yet.

This is an interesting idea. You would probably be best having a button pop up when you select text. When you click the button it could have a start discussion popup with the text that was selected already quoted and cited. Then it could post it to the forums through the API. Then it could redirect to the forums with the discussion id given back in the API request. This could be done without extending Flarum.

Perhaps it could check and see if that article already had a discussion created for it and suggest to the user those discussions. This would probably need an extension on Flarum's end for this.

I feel like this could be a cool addition to a news website.
