Hi Discourse community, I enabled discourse-docs plugin and add it to top menu. By default, its link is for example, www.example.com/docs , how can I change it to something like www.example.com/my-docs ?

A very short summary is that environment variables DISCOURSE_XYZ are available in code as GlobalSettings.xyz or SiteSettings.xyz. In this specific case you can find GlobalSettings.docs_path here .

Hi Hyan :wave: This is not possible. This URL part is hardcoded here: plugin.rb main register_svg_icon "arrow-down-a-z" register_svg_icon "arrow-up-a-z" register_svg_icon "arrow-up-1-9" register_svg_icon "arrow-down-1-9…

Thanks, @Canapin . I do see there’re some sites which docs link customized. Maybe they modify the code somehow. Probably there’re reasons do not expose the config to admin dashboard.

The whole idea of that setting is to make it configurable. The only thing that’s hardcoded is the default value. You can set DISCOURSE_DOCS_PATH in your app.yml to change it.

I’ve added a section to the doc :+1: https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-docs-documentation-management/130172#renaming-the-docs-path-5

Oh. Thank you so much letting me know this env vars. @RGJ I have one more questions regarding how Discourse or Rails framework works. I assume if the Discourse or its plugins running behavior can be changed through an env variable, then there must be the same env var name mentioned its relevant code…

Thank, @RGJ Get to know how the environment setting names maps the config in Discourse.

I got to know that the website customized by code changing. I thought only the line of code needs to change if I would try to do. Mark the answer as resolved.
