In the latest version of Discourse, using .hbs files in themes and plugins is deprecated. Support for this file format will be removed after the next ESR release. Handlebars templates should be replaced with the more modern .gjs format, which provides a much better development experience, and will …

[immagine] david: after the next ESR release Do I understand correctly that 2026.7 will still support hbs files and 2027.1 will be the first ESR release that doesn’t?

Just came across this one, guess it needs to be updated [immagine] Modernizing inline script tags for templates & JS API Templates introduced using this method should be moved to dedicated .hbs files, or refactored into gjs files. To keep as HBS, connector templates can be placed in: {theme}/j…
