Is there any way to hide a nested tag's topics when viewing the parent tag?

holyfuzz

It's great that Flarum supports nested tags, but I'd really like to be able to hide the topics in any nested tags when viewing a parent tag. For example:

Parent Tag (has topics "A", "B", "C")
-> Nested Tag (has topics "D", "E")
-> Nested Tag (has topics "F", "G")

Right now, when I click on Parent Tag, I see all topics "A" through "G". Ideally I would just see "A", "B", and "C", and I would only be able to see topics "D" through "G" by clicking on the appropriate nested tag.

Is there any way to do this right now, or would it require a custom extension to make this work?

Thanks!

You would need an extension to change this behavior.

Out of the box, there is no way to asign a child tag (nested tag) without its parent tag. You would need an extension, that changes this behaviour.

You can test the desired outcome by manually editing the database, i.e. removing the parent tag and leaving the child tag in place (go to the table discussions_tags and delete the fitting set of discussion_id and tag_id). After that, the said discussion is shown only with the child tag as you intend it.
