I would like to add some functionality on the Channel settings page, any objection to PRing a Nav plugin outlet here?: [The image shows a Slack interface focusing on the "Settings" tab under the "General" channel, with a highlighted "Members (10)" section. (Captioned by AI)] In similar vein to Group Nav app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/components/group-navigation.hbs 581c65a5f title={{tab.message}} class={{tab.name}} > {{#if tab.icon}}{{d-icon tab.icon}}{{/if}} {{tab.message}} {{#if tab.count}} ({{tab.count}}) {{/if}} {{/each}}

Do you just plan to put a link there? Or are you hoping to add a full tab with its own UI? The groups page is slightly different in that sense, because each tab is its own controller/route. That’s not the case for chat settings.

Glad you raised that! [תמונה] David Taylor: to add a full tab with its own UI? Yes, I’d like to put in my own route with associated functionality. But of course, that would mean?: creating an additional route altering the existing route map? extending the existing ChannelInfoNav? adding a new Component Is that not feasible with the current plugin API? This in general would be a useful thing to be able to do on similar Nav bars.

Chat routes are a little unusual, because they’re not always ‘real routes’. e.g. if you open chat in the popout UI, the settings tabs still work, but don’t change the actual browser URL. [SCR-20250131-phas] So, I don’t think defining a new route in your plugin/theme will be enough. @j.jaffeux I think you’re most familiar with this stuff. What do you think we’d need to permit themes/plugins to introduce additional tabs to channel settings? :thinking:

Yeah, it’s kind of a widget, so no URL routes :thinking: I’m not hung up on adding a route if we can somehow achieve UI extension with self contained Components that are responsible for their own data retrieval. But yeah, then I’d need an api to extend the navigation bar which would allow me to bring up a Component of my specification …

Sorry but yes we don’t have a good extension story for this and don’t have the bandwidth to come up with something for now. I will need to think of all the cases to provide a solution Im comfortable maintaining.
