nodebb-plugin-topic-ratings
This plugin allows users to rate topics in your NodeBB forum.
A plugin for NodeBB forums that lets members rate topics, giving the community a simple way to signal whether a discussion is helpful or worth reading. It requires manually editing your forum's theme templates to display ratings.
This plugin lets people rate topics on a NodeBB forum, adding a simple way for the community to show what they think of a discussion.
If you run a forum and want a lightweight feedback system, this adds that capability. The README is sparse on details, but it tells you to import a ratings display snippet into your forum's theme files to make it appear on topic, category, and recent pages.
Forum administrators who use NodeBB would install this to give members a voice beyond replies. For example, someone could rate a how-to guide as helpful or mark a product announcement as worth reading.
The notable detail here is that it requires editing your custom theme rather than working automatically after installation. You need to place a specific line of code into your theme template where you want ratings to show up, which gives you control over placement but assumes some comfort working with theme files.
Where it fits
- Let forum members rate how-to guides as helpful or not helpful.
- Allow readers to mark product announcements as worth reading.
- Add a lightweight community feedback system to a NodeBB forum without a full review component.
