I’m working on my first plugin, and am having trouble triggering an action. I have this template in the after-user-details connector:

> <https://github.com/curiousdannii/discourse-merge-users/blob/3d18dfdee81200e5f298bf8a8f9b050c728566ae/assets/javascripts/admin/templates/connectors/after-user-details/merge-users.hbs>

I then have this initialize script:

> <https://github.com/curiousdannii/discourse-merge-users/blob/3d18dfdee81200e5f298bf8a8f9b050c728566ae/assets/javascripts/admin/initializers/merge-users.js.es6>

So the template uses `action=(action "mergeInto")`. `mergeInto` is added to the actions object of AdminUserIndex, which then calls `AdminUser::mergeInto`. From what I can see, this matches [the other actions like `anonymize`, `destroy` etc](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/b58867b6e936a5247304e9f06f827cf5012a92ed/app/assets/javascripts/admin/controllers/admin-user-index.js.es6#L187).

When I try clicking the button, I get this error:

I’m guessing that one or both of the reopens didn’t work properly? Or that the button action isn’t working properly?

Or, this topic suggests plugin-outlets need to manually specify actions in the args, is that true? Is it practical to add new actions like this in a plugin?

Here is where I tried to do: And this is the console error it created: I understand (very vaguely?) that showCreateAccount is a controller function passed along to different components that need it: Moreover, in order to get this modal to pop up in my component, do I need to fundamentally change the str…

I’m thinking it might be better to make a new admin page for this.
