Discussion Overview

A Flarum extension. Display overview of discussions. Such as: created at, last reply, replies, views, users, likes, etc.

I'm very bad at CSS, I'd appreciate it if anyone could submit a PR to improve the current CSS styling.

Installation

Install with composer:

composer require datlechin/flarum-discussion-overview:"*"

Updating

composer update datlechin/flarum-discussion-overview:"*"
php flarum cache:clear

Cool! Maybe better to display the "bar" below the thread title (above the first post).

Also you can add some of these to the sidebar to be visible all the time.

Thanks for the great idea. 👍️

It's fine the bar display below the first post if the post is not too long. If long post, the bar better be on top or under main title.

I got 2 issues, this bar won't load, it won't show up when I enter a post, but it will once I refresh the page. And the bar of a post may show the data of another post. Please help 💟

Very nice and thank you! I recall a lot of topics in the past where folks were looking for an extension similar to one available on Discourse. This looks to be just that, well done!

A nice follow up, probably better suited for a different extension would be link tracking where each link click is basically tracked and display below the summary to show popular links shared in the discussion.

Personally I like it below the post, but perhaps it could be a user option whether to always display below the post, display below first post if there are less than X number of characters, or always display below discussion header.

One issue I found, when navigating into the discussion from the discussion list the user count is less, and when I perform a page refresh or navigate to the page directly the user count is significantly higher.

A second issue appeared as a result, when there are a large number of users all avatars are displayed. It might be best to have an option to limit the number of avatars and then show something like + 100 more. Perhaps it could sort the users by their activity in the thread so posters show up first?

@datlechin which extension is this?

clarkwinkelmann

testsuncle I believe it's the very extension this discussion showcases.

Does it look different after you install it?
