I’m trying to customize these yellow alerts:
Searching these forums, I couldn’t find much… maybe I don’t know how to search, is there a name for these? Yellow alerts? Instructional modals? Big Brother? Obscure-my-preview Esc X bot? 🙂
If the answer is that they’re not customizable, I’m going right in to feature request mode, I see enormous community-training possibilities here, even more than Topic Templates.
The really interesting thing to have would be a model that allows customizing both
- **detection** based on a number of conditions
- is this a reply or a new topic being started
- how old is the previous reply
- is this a new/recent user?
- free text regexp match (“you mentioned X, please check this helpful link first”)
- **action** like selecting a nice appropriate text for the yellow alert
If it can’t be a plugin, at least a Ruby-code-level customization possibility would be nice.
I see that Discourse itself is already using this effectively in several places, I’d love to be able to use those super-powers for Community-specific things.

We call them JIT (just in time) notifications. I’m not aware of any docs for them, but this plugin should have an example of how to create a custom JIT notice: [GitHub - discourse/discourse-perspective-api: Google Perspective API Plugin for Discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-perspective-api)

Ah thanks, you’re right, armed with that “JIT” term I was able to search much more profitably.
I even remembered I had read this old @codinghorror post:

I think it makes every bit of sense to **extend that philosophy beyond generic Discourse triggers, into Community-specific behavior**.
What I would give to be able to just nudge people to tell us the freaking software version they’re running while asking for support… I can’t get back the 3.7 years of life already spent typing “what’s your version”, but at least some of my future could look brighter.
Is it just me, or this deserves a user-friendly plug-in, or even a core-UI for the simplest cases (edit the default texts)? Maybe it’s just me.

You can customise the text of the existing ones from the `[YourSite]admin/customize/site_texts` page. 👍

Maybe [Using topic templates for categories](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-are-topic-templates/38295#category-specific-topic-template-1) are an option for you

Thanks, I’m on to that already ☝ and yes, I see them as a piece of the same puzzle

For the device/version issue, some people have found the [reply templates](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-reply-template-component/162373) useful, and others have used the [reply-by-url](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-create-a-new-topic-link-with-pre-filled-information/28074) feature to prefill some [custom blurb in the composer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/use-url-to-compose-a-new-message-with-body-adding-new-lines/197342/3).
Not sure if they’re useful, but thought I’d throw them into the mix. 🙂
