Hello everyone I have 2 questions I want to change come ui elements of discourse I am not able to figure out from where login modal is triggering (I want to change UI) I tried to change view file I tried to change .hbs file under assets I tried to change js files under assets I tried to change assets and js files under lib section I tried to change the route file but nothing is getting updated and also i am not able to figure out the modal popup location any help would be appreciated

What do you want to change, exactly? Most modification can be easily implemented as a CSS customization, which doesn’t require mucking with Discourse internals :slight_smile:

i want to change some html tags and placement of login and some other pages

That may be possible with CSS, depending on what exactly you want to do. If you draw a mockup of what you want to have (an ugly Paint drawing based on a screenshot is fine!), one of the CSS wizards hanging around here will probably be able to help you out :slight_smile:

ok i want to change html elements for example in category page i want to add a floating button . in login and signup page i need to add a logo and another image and want to also edit login function, (i want to add a rest api request to my server with login prompt)

Some of these changes may require adding elements to plugin outlets – here is the easiest way to do that: [תמונה] Using Plugin Outlet Connectors from a Theme or Plugin Developer Guides Discourse includes hundreds of Plugin Outlets which can be used to inject new content or replace existing contend in the Discourse UI. ‘Outlet arguments’ are made available so that content can be customized based on the context.

ok thankyou but i want to keep a track of users in discourse also for som reason thats why i needed to add rest api, and for category also i want to add a image and change placement like i want to add a floating button

[תמונה] hussain_anver: and for category also i want to add a image and change placement like i want to add a floating button Again, this sounds like you want to use CSS customizations and plugin outlets. Without a more detailed description or mockup of what you want to do, I’m afraid I cannot provide any additional help. [תמונה] hussain_anver: i want to keep a track of users in discourse also for som reason thats why i needed to add rest api While this is quite vague, it sounds like what you want to build would be insecure. Depending on what exactly you want to accomplish, SSO, the Data Explorer or a custom plugin might help you, but we need a detailed description of what you want to have to help you.

for category i want to add a small image before each category name for ex image/icon category-name topic-count description for login i want to be validated the user from my server before login to discourse server ex: if user enters email and password i want to send it to server if user existing in my server then continue discourse logins otherwise display message as user not existing is this details give an idea what i want to do i have also attached a small diagram what i want [תמונה]

If I’m understanding correctly, having an image for a category is already possible via the category create / edit modal. The automatic switch is a good idea, but I don’t know how code would determine between an existing account that was a typo fail and a new non existing account.
