Settings

This theme comes with two settings:

  1. Content height

    this allows you to set the desired height of the scrollable content in pixels. It defaults to 300. If you want to change it, just add a number, no need for units.

  2. Scrollable content button icon

    this allows you to set the icon used for the scrollable content button in the composer.

Translations

The component comes with one string that you can translate.

insert_scrollable_content: Insert scrollable content

This acts as the label for the composer button.

How do I use it?

There are two ways to add scrollable content.

  1. highlight the content you want to target, then click the button in the composer.
  2. click the composer button and start typing / paste content.

Either way works so it’s up to you.

Added the broken tag (issue reported here Topic toolbar popup menu does not show).

The component requires some updates to work on the latest Discourse version.

EDIT: Also, it’s archived on GitHub

Ok I just un-archived it. :slight_smile:

But why? The last commit was five years ago. It can’t work, and it was probably archived for a reason.

I believe it was working until recently and had been archived possibly a little too prematurely as part of an overly enthusiastic clear-up back in 2021. I think it just hadn’t needed anything updating since. :person_shrugging: (until now, at least).

But we’ll see, I suppose. :slight_smile:

Actually, the bigger problem, institutionally, is that someone archived it but left it marked as “official”. (But I’m not part of the institution, so I may be wrong!)

That was certainly part of the knot I was trying to untangle. :slight_smile: But if we can get it working again then it should all be peachy. :slight_smile: :crossed_fingers:

(And if not, I can retire it properly)
