I tried to display the Topic ID in the initial Post of all topics of a specific category but failed. I could not find a way by configuring Discourse and also a plugin - similar to Discourse BBCODE - failed to work. Could you please give me a clear hint on how to realize to display the Topic ID in the initial Post metadata of each topic of a specific category? [image] I need this to continue the customer expectations of the old system as well some related functions and behavior. Thanks a lot!

The topic_id is at the end of the URL. Can you say more about what expectations you are tryingto may and what features you need?

As I mentioned in my Post I try to write a plugin, probably the #dev category is not the proper place due I don’t want this in Discourse itself. Can you point me to some kind of solution how to display additional (existing) meta data in the initial Post Header? I know that the URL contains the TopicID as last “Tuple” and there is also a canonical link in the html header that does. I need to display the TopicID on the initial Post. We often speak about “Topic#34074” or something and want to stay with that habit, which our customers and partners are used to. So I tried to extract the ID (successfully) and past it into the ‘div.topic-meta-data’, which failed.

Add this to Settings > Customize > Common > : api.decorateWidget('post-meta-data:after', dec => { if (dec.attrs.post_number === 1) { const topic = dec.getModel().get('topic'); return dec.rawHtml(` Topic: ${topic.get('id')} `); } }); And you get: [image] And you just need to add some CSS.

of course, stylesheets are needed! :sunglasses: exactly what I’m looking for - thanks a lot!!! :hugs:

Hello, Topic ID will show after post-meta-data I want show after title topic, how do it ? Thank you so much!

You can just do component-name:after widget-name:after. Or use a plugin outlet if its available on the position you desire.

Not effect :frowning: api.decorateWidget('component-name:after', dec => { if (dec.attrs.post_number === 1) { const topic = dec.getModel().get('topic'); return dec.rawHtml(` Topic: ${topic.get('id')} `); } });

Did you actually literally put in component-name widget-name instead of the component’s actual name?

I wanna display topic ID below User name, what widget-name can i replace code :slight_smile: Thank you! [image]
