Create a new post from search

When you search for a topic and dont find it, I would like to be able to create a new post, idea or other community content directly from the search window instead of having to navigate back to the navigation menu and find where I wanted to post first

  • I think we had something like this in the old Skype Community... :)

    Hi allensmith81

    We've just added the option to add a new topic/idea to the Lithium Community straight from the search result page via a link to the "new post" form with the node selection enabled. Thanks for your suggestion and hope you make good use of it šŸ˜

    You can find it below the search result list:

    New "Ask the Lithium Community" button below search results

    It's a custom component we created. Not yet available as a pre-built component that you would just drop on your search results layout.
    The logic that the custom components contains is to determine which type of search (message / user) is currently showing and also to point at the board that might be selected in the "location" search filter.
