Repost

License Latest Stable Version Total Downloads

Repost is a Flarum extension that enhances your forum by allowing posts that start with a URL to be treated as external links. When users click on such posts from the discussion list, they will be redirected to the external URL. However, users can still participate in discussions within the forum thread about the linked content.

Idea

The idea came from the Hacker News model

Usage

  1. When creating a new post, simply start the post content with a valid URL.

    Nice! Any screenshots for what this looks like in practice?

      I suspect the confusion comes from it being called "Extract from the original web site" perhaps something like, "Create a linked post" would be better understood by English speakers, just a thought.

      Great extension, look forward to seeing how it evolves over time.

        I don't understand the meaning of this extension. It just added an external link to the discussion list?

          14569 It's to make the flarum discussions work like hackernews https://news.ycombinator.com where when you click on the discussion title it will take you to the shared website link instead of the discussion. to access the discussion you would need to click on any other part of the discussion "card" (like under the title). you can see how it works in the author's website here : https://wyz.xyz
