This is the theme for the Techlore Discussions forum. It is a fork of the discourse-air theme. This theme is only intended for our own use, so we do not provide support for self-hosting. This theme is installed alongside a handful of theme components as well:
- Dark Light Scheme Toggle
- DiscoTOC
- Clickable Topics
- Discourse Search Banner
- Experimental User Card
- Highlight Groups
- Modern Category + Group Boxes
- Techlore Sidebar Sponsors
❗ Please read through these tips upon installation, as there are a couple of settings that NEED TO BE ENABLED for this to theme to render properly.
For this to work properly, at least 2 color scheme choices need to be enabled in your /admin/customize/colors
area. At least two colors need to have color scheme can be selected by users
enabled.
Once this is done, users should be able to choose between two color schemes as their light
and dark
preferences in their user preferences interface menu.
In the options for the discourse-search-banner
theme component, the plugin-outlet
options needs to be set to BELOW-SITE-HEADER for this theme to render properly.
This theme component requires your categories to use the CATEGORY BOXES WITH SUBCATEGORIES setting in your /admin/site_settings/category/all_results?filter=categories
area.
This theme component also allows the forum admin to organize their category page with header titles, and choose which categories appear under each header. To keep things simple, I have only allowed up to 5 headings to be used. If no categories + heading settings are chosen, all categories will render as they do above, this is the default rendering option.
