Karma discourse plugin can be used by DAOs on their forum to display forum user's governance stats, and active proposals for the dao.
This plugin can be installed on both self-hosted instances and managed hosting. We have experience working with managed hosting providers to install our plugin. If you need help with installation, contact us at [email protected]
Step 1: To install the plugin, you can follow the Install Plugins in Discourse official instructions.
Step 2: After the installation, the user should go to the plugins page (Admin -> Plugins) and hit Settings under Karma plugin. Then, set the Dao Name as registered at Karma.
The Karma Score plugin uses the forum username of users to search for metadata in Karma API, showing stats we gather in the user profile, such as Karma score, Gitcoin Health score, Delegated votes, Snapshot voting stats and On-chain voting stats.
These stats will be shown at:
-
Profile card
-
Profile Summary page
Score settings are simple and easy to manage, making possible for the admin to choose which stats to show by ticking the checkboxes in the settings page (note that health score works only for Gitcoin Dao). Also, it's possible to change how many votes are desired to show in the card and profile summary by changing Show voting history field.
The proposal banner is a widget that shows active and past proposals from a DAO. (Note that this setting will use the Karma Score DAO Name to search for proposals so make sure that you set it before start)
The banner is provided with some options to customise the UI, such as:
Banner past proposal days: adjust the number of days before today to show proposals. If it's set to 0, it'll only show proposals that end after the current time, and if not, it will show proposals that have already ended, indicated by the number of days since the end of that proposal.
If the banner has more than one proposal to show, it'll show an icon indicating that some proposals are hidden,
and can be shown by clicking that button[]
Banner links: Three custom links to send the user to somewhere you want, like a document, an external website, a post, etc. It's also possible to change the display icon with FontAwesome icon names. If the title of the link is blank, the button will be hidden.
After modifying settings, always refresh the page to ensure that the new configurations are loaded and the plugin is ready.
