Multiple Starboard Channels

This guide will teach you how to set up different starboard channels in your server.

The Starboard Setting

In this bot, the starboard that messages are sent to is merely just a setting - the Starboard setting.

It’s easily configurable, meaning you can easily change the setting without affecting something else or messing anything up. The setting only determines which channel a message gets sent to when it needs to be posted.

Because it’s just a setting, that means it can be overridden by overrides.

Overrides

Overrides are used to change specific settings depending on the context, such as the channel of the message, the roles the author has, or the emoji used to star the message.

Multiple Starboards

There are 3 ways for you to set up multiple starboard channels in your server.

Channel-Based Starboards

You can set up your server so messages go to one starboard channel, but in a select few channels messages go to another starboard channel. You can view an example of this here:

You can also set up your server so messages go to one starboard channel, but messages from a certain type of channel (e.g. voice channels or age-restricted channels) go to another starboard channel. You can view an example of this here:

Role-Based Starboards

You can set up your server so messages go to one starboard channel, but messages by users who have a certain role go to another starboard channel. You can view an example of this here:

Emoji-Based Starboards

You can set up your server so messages go to one starboard channel, but reacting with a certain emoji sends the message to another starboard channel. You can view several examples of this here:
