I built a forum using tags as tiles, with background images.
.
But it was a nightmare with CSS and still looks sketchy. I'm using FreeFlarum, but I assume the extensions don't differ much from Flarum itself. So I have some build requests on the Tags extension:
- Allow picture uploads in the tag extension itself, no CSS needed.
- Properly change tag text title color to show over the image (I had to edit actual images, otherwise text would be invisible)
- Properly change latest post text color to show over the image (11 hours ago, etc).
- Allow hiding of the "latest post" text in lower image, if user chooses.
- Show an "All Discussions" tile, in the first position.
- On the sub-tag page (that lists all the threads), the header should either use the uploaded image. Or allow user to upload a separate header image because header banners are so wide.
- On the sub-tag page, make clicking the header take user back to the tiles home page.
- Allow removal of the discussions list portion of the site, if we choose. Because having both list and tag tiles confuses user navigation.
Sorry for all the requests. Awesome FOSS initiative guys.
