On stable, 3.4.1. I have this in my plugin /assets/javascripts/discourse/controllers/user-feedback.js and then /assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/user-feedback.hbs contains {{feedback-stream stream=this.model}} And then these files: /assets/javascripts/discourse/components/feedback-strea…

If you use gjs for your FeedbackStream, then I think it should work. So it would be something like export default class FeedbackStream extends UserStream { <template> Your custom template here </template> } I think mixing hbs/gjs in the same component inheritance chain is unlikely to work…

Ok, the pieces of the puzzle seem to be connecting. The component does export default class FeedbackStream extends UserStream { and UserStream is written using gjs. The incorrect error message aside, how would I go on modernizing this and getting things back to work?

What is the purpose of your changes? So we can understand the context. I believe with gjs, you can only rely on plugin outlets. :thinking:

The purpose of my current changes is getting the plugin back to work on latest stable :slight_smile: The purpose of this specific part of the plugin is to show feedback on a users profile page, while heavily reusing existing components.

BTW @Arkshine I see your :exploding_head: - so just clarifying here. Template overrides are deprecated, regardless of the original authoring format. We’ll be removing them completely in the next few months. For those cases, you’re 100% right that Plugin Outlets are the solution. But what @RGJ is do…

Oh, I see; thanks for clarifying! I failed to see the inheritance here. It makes sense.
