Custom Components -- add button or text at any plugin outlet

[pfaffman (Jay Pfaffman)]

I’m not quite sure. If you’ve got a budget, I’ll take a look.

What would your button do if it had the topic id?

If you figure it out and want to make a PR, I’ll probably accept it.

Would it be possible to add placeholders to the Button URLs, e.g. for the URL to contain the topic ID in which the user is located?

I’m pretty sure that the answer is no, but that you could use the workaround described here

You can also use other Ember components as blocks, you just need to use the correct name. For example, core includes a signup-cta Ember component, and you can use it in the sidebar as is. Note that you can’t use components that expect a set of parameters, but you can build your own Ember component in a separate theme and reference it just by its name in the sidebar’s blocks setting.
