Hi! I’d like to try to modify the buildQuote function so it adds a new line before the opening [quote] tag. Basically, modifying this: return `[quote="${params.join(", ")}"]\n${contents.trim()}\n[/quote]\n\n`; to this: return `\n[quote="${params.join(", ")}"]\n${contents.trim()}\n[/quote]\n\n`; Is it possible to do such a thing with a theme component? How do I override this function? :smiley:

I’ve managed to achieve it, but is there a prettier solution? function buildQuote(post, contents, opts = {}) { if (!post || !contents) { return ""; } const params = [ opts.username || post.username, `post:${opts.post || post.post_number}`, `topic:${opts.topic || post.topic_id}` ]; if (opts.full) params.push("full:true"); return `\n[quote="${params.join(", ")}"]\n${contents.trim()}\n[/quote]\n\n`; } api.modifyClass('controller:composer', { actions: { importQuote(toolbarEvent) { const postStream = this.get("topic.postStream"); let postId = this.get("model.post.id"); // If there is no current post, use the first post id from the stream if (!postId && postStream) { postId = postStream.get("stream.firstObject"); } // If we're editing a post, fetch the reply when importing a quote if (this.get("model.editingPost")) { const replyToPostNumber = this.get("model.post.reply_to_post_number"); if (replyToPostNumber) { const replyPost = postStream.posts.findBy( "post_number", replyToPostNumber ); if (replyPost) { postId = replyPost.id; } } } if (postId) { this.set("model.loading", true); return this.store.find("post", postId).then(post => { const quote = buildQuote(post, post.raw, { full: true }); toolbarEvent.addText(quote); this.set("model.loading", false); }); } } } });

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but is this still working for you/have you had to update it at all? I’ve been trying to get this to work and I can’t get it to fire at all, but I’ve been having a terrible time with anything at all to do with modifyClass.

[image] asc: but is this still working for you I just tried it, and it is still working :+1: I literally copy-pasted it in my theme, and it worked without any modification.

See api.modifyClass sometimes(!) not working - #12 by RGJ I’m not sure if this has been resolved? Also see related but different: Issues overriding getters in a controller (3.0.0)

Thanks @merefield and @Canapin . I’ve been trying to learn the Discourse plugin API fiddling around with what feels like they should be simple things like this but modifyClass is so inconsistent when it will/won’t work. I’ve got a little theme component (that one you were mentioned into @merefield ) where two modifyClass calls work but a third doesn’t, very frustrating trying to figure out if I’ve got something wrong or it’s just modifyClass. Sorry for the OT on your topic and thanks for the quick reply @Canapin Update: [image]Force a linebreak before and after a quote I was able to get that working by adding const composerController = api.container.lookup("controller:composer") to the bottom of the theme component code. It’s related to api.modifyClass sometimes(!) not working - #12 by RGJ
