General settings

The General settings page in the Discourse Graph plugin provides fundamental configuration options that affect how the plugin operates. Here are the available settings:

Show IDs in frontmatter

This setting controls the visibility of identifiers in your note’s frontmatter section.

• When enabled, node type IDs and relation type IDs will be visible in the frontmatter of your notes
• When disabled, these IDs will be hidden from view
• This can be useful if you prefer a cleaner frontmatter appearance while still maintaining the underlying structure

Show discourse context overlay

This setting controls whether links to discourse nodes carry an inline badge showing how many relations the linked node has.

• When enabled, a badge appears after each link to a discourse node, in both Live Preview and Reading view
• Selecting a badge opens that node’s discourse context in a popover, where you can review its relationships and add a new one
• A node with no relations shows a badge reading 0, and its popover says “No discourse relation found”
• Links to notes that are not discourse nodes never show a badge
• When disabled, the badges are removed immediately; the discourse context view remains available from the sidebar

Discourse nodes folder path

This setting determines where new discourse nodes will be created in your vault.

• Specify a folder path where you want all new discourse nodes to be stored
• Leave the field empty to create nodes in the root folder of your vault
• You can use the folder suggester to easily navigate and select existing folders
• Example format: folder1/folder2

Changes to these settings will only take effect after clicking the “Save Changes” button. The interface will indicate when you have unsaved changes pending.
