When a new topic is created through the WP Discourse plugin, the plugin is sending a wp-id (with a hyphen) parameter to Discourse. It’s been doing this since before I started working on the plugin. It doesn’t seem that it’s used anywhere in Discourse. Having a wp_id property for topics that are cre…

Can you help me understand why you would need the wp-id if the plugin is storing the topic_id after it creates a new topic? lib/discourse-publish.php main } return null; } /** * Calls `sync_to_discourse…

Sure, I can make it work without it. I’ll remove the wp-id parameter from the data the plugin sends to Discourse when a topic is published through WordPress. My use case wasn’t wanting to query Discourse for topics by the external_topic_id. I’m querying a Discourse route that I’ve added through a p…

[imagem] blake: If there is no advantage to using one or the other right now, I’m going to push you do use the topic_id in the metadata. I guess I’m having a hard time seeing the downside if you are already tracking the topic_id that you couldn’t just hit the /t/{id}.json endpoint and get the ti…

I like the idea of using a webhook. It was my initial approach to doing this. The biggest problem with using a webhook with a WordPress multisite installation is that it doesn’t return any data that will allow the updated Discourse topic to be matched with the correct WordPress subsite. For each web…

[imagem] blake: I guess I’m having a hard time seeing the downside if you are already tracking the topic_id that you couldn’t just hit the /t/{id}.json endpoint and get the title and the posts_count? This is basically how the plugin is functioning now. What I’m trying to do is keep the commen…

A post_event webhook will work for syncing content if the post’s topic.topic_embed.embed_url is returned with the webhook. On a WordPress multisite setup, the webhook only needs to be sent to the main site on the network. If the topic was published from a subsite, the subsite can be found from the e…

I should probably change the title of this topic :slight_smile: What I’m looking for is the best way to improve the plugin’s performance that will work in both a normal WordPress installation and a multisite installation. If using a webhook for keeping data synced between Discourse and WordPress is…

I ended up creating a topic_id/blog_id database table. It’s only added when a single Discourse forum is associated with multiple WordPress sites, so it should be ok.
