Discourse Narrative Bot Quote Text Customization

fearlessfrog · March 13, 2019, 1:49am

We’re editing the quotes provided by the default narrative bot by searching down from the following:

/admin/customize/site_texts?q=discourse_narrative_bot.quote

We’ve edited the authors and quotes for the 10 quotes, but we are finding that the quotes are not changing when we use a ‘discobot quote’ command.

We’ve tried restarting the app, and then when that didn’t work rebuilding the container but we can’t get them to change. When we ask for a quote it provides the old quotes author/text, even though we have edited them all.

Is there another setting we need to change? Thanks for any help.

We are on v2.3.0.beta4 +20

Ah, looks like we’ve misunderstood what those fields are for. It uses an external API to get the quotes, not local settings. That’s a shame.

Just temporarily we altered the switch here, and it works great. Obviously not a great way to do it, but thought it might help others in the future.
