[Theme Component] AI Conversations – Sidebar Search (messages-only)
Hey all—just wanted to share a tiny theme component I made (with a push from ChatGPT). It adds a lightweight “AI Messages” search box to the AI Conversations sidebars and routes straight to core search with in:messages.
GitHub: GitHub - BrianCraword/Discourse-AI-Conversations-Search-
What it does
- Puts a compact search box at the top of the AI Conversations sidebars (main list + single chat).
- Searches only your messages via
/search?q=<keywords> in:messages(no expanded UI). - Permissions: shows for logged-in users with Trust Level ≥ 1 (staff always see it).
- Self-contained styling; doesn’t change your site’s overall look.
Install
- Admin → Customize → Themes → Install → From a git repo
- Paste the repo URL and install as a component on your active theme.
- (Optional) Place your own AI Conversations styling in a separate component; this search is designed to play nicely with custom styles.
Requirements / Notes
- Tested on Discourse 3.2+.
- Expects the AI sidebar container to include
.ai-conversations-panel(present in the Discourse AI Conversations UI). - No settings—kept intentionally simple. If you need TL0 visibility or a different scope token (
in:personal), fork and tweak the small initializer.
Not a must-have feature, but some folks will like the convenience. Feedback and PRs welcome!
