Hello everyone,
I'm experimenting with Flarum for a small project, and before I go too deep into development I’d like to know if what I’m trying to achieve is doable with existing extensions or small tweaks.
The idea is not to use Flarum as a traditional forum but more like a collective of posts representing “users” or “entities”.
Example:
- User A and User B belong to Group (Party) A and they both take part in an event → a post should be created “in the name of both”.
- Meanwhile, User C from Group (Party) B is also involved, so the same post should also be associated with them (kind of like having multiple “authors”).
For the “Parties” I think tags or groups could work, but I’m not sure if there’s a way to:
- assign multiple users to a single discussion/post,
- and have a simple way to create “fake” or “representative” profiles (non-login entities).
I also plan to add a voting system (most likely via fof/gamification), and I’d like to have an extra “trust indicator” or “verified badge” that admins could manually apply to certain posts.
If anyone has ideas on how to approach this using existing extensions — or if you’ve seen a setup like this before — I’d really appreciate any tips!
Thanks in advance 🙌
