"Add User Note" no longer shown in "post admin options" menu

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

A bug has been reported where the “Add User Note” option is missing from the “post admin options” menu in Discourse instances using the “Discourse User Notes” plugin, despite the plugin functioning correctly elsewhere (e.g., via the “User Notes” button on user profiles). The issue was reproduced by Lilly and appears to stem from recent changes to Discourse’s admin-post-menu.gjs file, which the plugin still relies on legacy widget logic to integrate. per1234 confirmed the bug persists even in safe mode. sam acknowledged the issue and committed to resolving it within 30 days. The fix has since been implemented in the plugin via pull request #85 by kelv, resolving the regression. The bug was observed on the Arduino Forum and potentially affects other Discourse instances using the plugin.

Discourse User Notes plugin 0.0.2 (317e97e)

Description:

The “Discourse User Notes” plugin provides two interfaces for staff members to add a “user note” to an account:

  • The “User Notes” button on the user page.
  • The “Add User Note” item in the “post admin options” menu:

:bug: The “Add User Note” item is no longer shown in the “post admin options” menu.

Reproducible steps:

  1. Log in to an account with staff privileges on a Discourse-based forum that has the “Discourse User Notes” plugin enabled.
  2. Click the wrench icon “post admin options” icon at the bottom of any post.

:bug: There is no “Add User Note” item in the “post admin options” menu:

Additional context

I experience the fault on this Discourse-based forum (which uses a Discourse Enterprise hosting plan):

The regression occurred sometime within the past few days at most.

The “Discourse User Notes” plugin is enabled and I can view notes and add notes via the “User Notes” button on the user page without any problems.

Due to the requirement for staff privileges, I am not able to check for the fault on other Discourse forums, so I don’t know whether the fault is specific to the configuration of Arduino Forum or universal to any Discourse instance.

Hi @per1234 :wave: hmmm, I cannot reproduce this on any of my instances.

Have you tried safe mode with official plugins enabled? (disable last checkbox)

Thanks for your suggestion @Lilly. I can still reproduce the fault even when using the forum with that “safe mode” configuration.

Actually I can reproduce this. I mis-read the second part of your post as opposite (not appearing in the user profile admin) I get the user notes option everywhere I expect except for in the post-admin options :thinking:

I too have a hosted instance running the latest beta2-dev.

I suspect it may have to do with recent updates to the admin-post-menu.gjs file, and the plugin still using widgets:
