Always-Anonymous Categories Plugin

@sam is right, the new work on the anom users broke the plugin. I’m looking into to this now because I need for one of my company’s products.

The error I get in product is:

NoMethodError (undefined method `create_shadow' for AnonymousShadowCreator:Class) /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-anonymous-categories/plugin.rb:76:in `block (2 levels) in activate!'

Coming from this line:

github.com/JaredReisinger/discourse-anonymous-categories

plugin.rb

master


      
          shadow = nil
          if (shadow_id = user.custom_fields["shadow_id"].to_i) > 0
            shadow = User.find_by(id: shadow_id)
          
            if shadow && shadow.post_count > 0 &&
                shadow.last_posted_at < SiteSetting.anonymous_account_duration_minutes.minutes.ago
              shadow = nil
            end
          end
          
          anon_user = shadow || AnonymousShadowCreator.create_shadow(user)
          
          # The client-side UI seems to get upset if the returned post was made by
          # "another" user, and will refuse to clear the field.  Instead, we act as
          # though this is a queued post, and that's enough to reset the UI.  It also
          # happens to give us an opportunity to point out that the post has been
          # automatically anonymized!  (See NewPostManager.perform_create_post for the
          # logic we're replicating here.)
          result = NewPostResult.new(:enqueued)
          creator = PostCreator.new(anon_user, args)
          post = creator.create

Will try to fix it and post an update here soon.
