How do I register a public asset in a plugin?

AI-generated summary

Users are facing issues with registering public assets in Discourse plugins, specifically when trying to access images on a private members-only site. featheredtoast shared their problem with the Discord oauth plugin, and Nikolay also reported the same issue.

simon provided the solution by referencing an old Discourse plugin, trout_emoji, which demonstrates how to register public assets. The key is to add images to the public/images directory in the plugin, and they will be available on the server at /plugins/plugin_name/images/, where plugin_name is the name specified in the plugin.rb file metadata.

Nikolay confirmed that this solution worked, and the problem was due to a misunderstanding of the plugin name in the path.

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I am unable to find a previous topic on this.

I’m wondering how to register an asset as public (such as an image) through a discourse plugin - it seems currently after registering, I get a 404 or 302 response when installing under a private member’s only site.

This is in reference to the Discord oauth plugin I built - I am unable to retrieve the image either directly, or through a register_asset call.

How would I go about serving static plugin assets in this case?

Hola, ¿puedo obtener información también? Porque estoy teniendo el mismo problema.

Claro, ese tema fue eliminado. El tema proporcionaba un enlace a un antiguo complemento de Discourse que incluye un ejemplo de cómo registrar activos públicos en un complemento: GitHub - eviltrout/trout_emoji: Adds an evil trout emoji to a discourse install · GitHub.

La última vez que lo probé, agregar imágenes a un complemento en el directorio public/images las hará disponibles en el servidor en /plugins/nombre_del_complemento/images/.

El nombre del complemento que uses en la ruta es el nombre que le asignas en los metadatos en la parte superior del archivo plugin.rb, por ejemplo: /plugins/trout_emoji/images/trout-square.jpg.

Muchas gracias. Ahora funciona. El problema era porque pensé que el nombre del plugin en la ruta era el nombre de la carpeta :slight_smile:
