This is a simple theme component that adds a Copy button to the post menu control section of every post. Clicking the button will copy the entire contents of the post to the user’s clipboard.
Yes, definitely something I’ll be looking to improve in the future.
However, in the meantime, I’ve added a setting to copy the raw HTML content instead. If you set this to true, the copy button will copy the raw HTML of the post instead of the plain text. This way you should have the formatting and media.
Maybe a second button, Duplicate, (in the moderator gear icon area?) to automatically copy the entire contents of the post into a new topic with "DUPLICATE: " appended to the beginning of the title?
Maybe make the button do a request to /raw/topic_id/post_number so you can copy the real post content? This way it will act like the very useful Reddit Enhancement Suite “Source” button.
@md-misko Yup I think that’s a great idea. Since I created a widget for the copy button, I believe it can be quite simply copied over to be used in the modal.
There is now! I’ve added a setting to apply a minimum trust level to show the widget. Configuring it to 0 will make it so only logged in users can see the button.
This wasn’t working on a new install.
The min_trust_level wasn’t selectable in Admin.
edit: component was functioning but wasn’t displaying correctly in Admin
I forked the repo and got it working but I set min_trust_level as an integer
So (5) = ‘disabled’ (0-4) as expected. So a small rewrite.
I haven’t done a PR … as it’s a simplification … perhaps someone else can confirm the component isn’t working?
Hey @geoff777 I’ve tested this on a new install and it seems to be working correctly for me.
Also if I do apply those changes, the issue with using setting the min_trust_level as an integer in the settings.yml file is that the 0 value isn’t appearing in the dropdown.
Ah sorry, my mistake, I thought you meant you changed the strings in the enum to integers, but you meant you used the integer type instead. Yes, that seems like a better approach. I’ve updated the theme component to support that. Hopefully this should fix any of the issues.
