Beta testers needed: Inline editing of replies

AI-generated summary

NateDhaliwal is seeking beta testers for a new Discourse component that enables inline editing of replies. This feature allows users to edit posts directly within the thread using a DEditor, rather than opening the standard composer. The project repository is available on GitHub.

The component includes several configuration options:

  • show_preview: Toggles the Markdown preview.
  • manually_set_composer_height: Determines if the editor height is fixed or inherited from the user’s core settings.
  • composer_height: Specifies the manual height value.

A known issue currently exists where draft conflict popups may appear while typing or saving drafts. Feedback and bug reports are encouraged.

Hi all, I’m in the midst of making a new component, which is an inline editing of a post. Instead of opening the composer, it opens a DEditor in the post itself.

I would be really grateful if anyone would like to try this component out and come back with any feedback or bugs encountered.

Current settings:

  • show_preview: Show preview for the Markdown editor.
  • manually_set_composer_height: Whether to set the composer height in the next setting, or else it will use the user’s core composer height.
  • composer_height: The manually-set composer height.
