🦸 Hero Builder — design a stunning, animated welcome banner for your forum, live Your discussion list is the first thing every visitor sees. So why does it usually open with a plain list of threads? Hero Builder gives your community a polished, modern welcome — a fully customizable, animated hero banner you design live, right in the admin panel, with a different look for your home page and every single tag. First impressions aren't a detail. They're the whole front door. Hero Builder makes yours unforgettable — without touching a single core file. ✨ What it does Add a configurable banner to the top of your discussion list — a title, a subtitle, any Font Awesome icon, an animated gradient or a full-bleed cover image, and optional live community stats. Then set a distinct hero for the home page and for every tag, so each corner of your forum gets its own welcome. 🏷️ Title & subtitle — say hello, set the tone. 🎨 Any Font Awesome icon — just type the class (fas fa-meteor, fas fa-dragon, fab fa-discord …). No fixed preset list to fight against. 🌈 Animated two-colour gradient or a cover image — pick a palette or drop in a full-bleed background. 📊 Optional live stats — surface real community numbers right in the banner. 🧭 Per-context heroes — a separate hero for the home page and for each tag. 🧼 No core files touched — ships as a clean, self-contained extension. --- 🎛️ Hero Studio — design it live Everything lives in Admin → Extensions → Hero Builder, inside the Hero Studio. Pick a context (the home page or any tag), edit the fields, and watch the banner update in a live preview as you type. No more saving, refreshing, and squinting to see how it turned out. Tabs across the top let you switch between the home hero and a per-tag hero, and the "Show the hero here" toggle lets you enable it only where you want it. 📦 Installation composer require ernestdefoe/hero-builder php flarum cache:clear if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } Then open Admin → Extensions → Hero Builder and start designing. Requirements Flarum 2.0+ PHP 8.1+ --- 🔗 Links GitHub: ernestdefoe/hero-builder Packagist: https://packagist.org/packages/ernestdefoe/hero-builder Support forum: https://ernestdefoe.online --- 📄 Credits & License Built by Ernest Defoe.
