Install this theme component

Hello

It makes unified how the embedded replies handle on the desktop and mobile view.

Desktop

Mobile

---

Change Replies button text to show only the count on desktop view.
Go to admin/customize/site_texts and search for
js.post.has_replies.one delete Reply
js.post.has_replies.other delete Replies

There is a theme setting where you can translate the Jump to post button.

This is very nice, I think it’s worth considering as the default. Better than the existing boxes in my opinion.

[chapoi (Charlie)]

Agreed. If I can nitpick: I’d make the line align left of the reply dropdown to gain some extra space (mainly on mobile).

For sure an improvement over the boxes

Hello. I have installed this theme component a long time ago.
But just comparing it I realized that I don’t have buttons for “share”, “flag” and “reply”. I only have “Jump to post” button. Can you tell me how to set it up?

Hi @wenqin Maybe you need to conifigure the admin-settings-post menu and share links settings?

but unless I am misunderstanding you, it looks like you have them already

Oh those look like a screen photo of the footer buttons being used in a post on @Don’s test forum in theme creator. I don’t believe those are real buttons below the replies. They are for a sample post here:

How do I reply to folks here?

If you scroll up to the OP and look at the replies, you will see how it is embedded.

[wenqin]

thanks.I can’t believe it’s not a real button.

I personally don’t use quora. but I really like quora like this. You can continue to reply to what others have replied to. And all the replies are displayed below the original one. Do we have any plugin that can implement such a reply feature?

The only thing I can think of with similar embeded replies within replies is the Discourse Journal plugin by Pavilion. It allows selecting a Journal topic which then allows embedded comments on replies that have their own pseudo-timelines.

I suspect this one wasn’t updated anymore. It’s a must for engaging non-technical users on trivial topics to give them confidence.

This is what my instance shows after trying to enable the component:

Error: Undefined mixin. ╷ 58 │ @include sticky; │ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ╵ theme-entrypoint/mobile.scss 58:7 @import /var/www/discourse/mobile.scss 3:9 root stylesheet

The author has said he needs more interest & sponsoring in the plugin.

I believe Post Voting also does something similar but imho the Journal plugin may have some better options.

Discourse Post Voting

Summary Discourse Post Voting allows the creation of topics with votable posts. Repository Link https://github.com/discourse/discourse-post-voting Install Guide How to install plugins in Discourse Features To create a new topic with votable posts open the menu in the top left of the composer and select ‘Toggle Post Voting’: [post voting toggle] With the topic in Post Voting mode, there’s a filter to sort answers by votes or by …

Confirmed

It would need to be tested. But if you are looking to mimic journal plugin in that only do to speak Op can post/reply with others only being able comment. Using topic voting with restricted replies may work.

Though iirc I think the journal pluginsu allow ppl to reply to other comments.
