Hello fellow Discourse users, I’m currently attempting to build upon an already existing plugin called ‘discourse-chat-integration’ for which I’ve forked and attempted to customize for a certain community but I’m having a wee mind blank. How would I specifically test if it’s a post or thread? I’m t…

Hello David, Thank you for your reply and response my topic. Would this be the correct method in completing the task? The first block should only send if it’s a thread and the second block should only send if it’s a post. [image]

Yes, that looks roughly correct. I think you will need to change the two message lines to return message so that it stops execution of the function at that point. What are you trying to achieve here? It might be possible to do something using the existing configuration options, rather than main…

Thank you for your reply, I will change the stated lines and test now. Currently the plugin will send a Webhook to Discord on any new topics or posts. I am quite new to Ruby so I apologize for the lack of knowledge with this situation.

You can control whether you want “topic” and/or “post” notifications in the admin user interface. More information is in the “configuring rules” section here: Discourse Chat Integrations

I came across that option previously but I want a totally seperate notification layout for each. I’ve changes the lines you stated previously but it’s throwing an error at me now which suggests that no message is being returned from the previous screenshot. [image]

Can you share the error message? Also, if you can link to the code it will be much easier than a screenshot.

Thank you for responding. I did link the file I am referring to in my thread description. These are the errors I am receiving, I would assume that I need to include some kind of file. Any thoughts? [image]

Oh, I see. You need to use post.post_number instead of just post_number.
