(Obsoleto) Mostrar un "Widget de Discord" en un botón desplegable

This has has now been converted into a theme component by @keegan :tada::balloon:

Discourse Discord Widget

The Discord Widget does its job, but it’s really cumbersome and generally it’s an eyesore with the style of Discourse.
In the past few months I had tried to implement it everywhere (after-header, body, footer) but every time I found it too big and too customized to be permanently seen.
That’s why, in the end, I decided that a dropdown button would be the best solution. Users can decide if open the widget (maybe only to see the users online) and close it, or click the Connect button to enter the chat.

Desktop View

Display the button for ALL users (logged in and visitors):

Add this script under /admin/customize/themes inside Desktop/Head tab

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require('virtual-dom');
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");

api.createWidget('discord-chat-menu', {
  tagName: 'div.discord-panel',

  html() {
    return this.attach('menu-panel', {
      contents: () => h('iframe', {
                        "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light',
                        "sandbox": "allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts",
                        "width": "350",
                        "height": "500",
                        "allowtransparency": "true",
                        "frameborder": "0",
                        "id": "chatwidget",
                        "name": "chatwidget",}
                    )

    });
  },

  clickOutside() {
    this.sendWidgetAction('toggleDiscordChat');
  }
});
    
api.decorateWidget('header-icons:before', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
  return helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'fab-discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });
});

api.decorateWidget('header-icons:after', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
    if (headerState.discordChatVisible) {
        return [helper.attach('discord-chat-menu')];
    }
});

api.attachWidgetAction('header', 'toggleDiscordChat', function() {
  this.state.discordChatVisible = !this.state.discordChatVisible;
});

</script>

Make sure to change the Url here:

  • "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light', entering your Server ID in place of your-widget-ID. You can find it on Discord in Server Setting > Widget > Server ID.
    E.g. "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=1234567890123&theme=light',

  • Inside the Url you can also replace the theme style to make it light (&theme=light) or dark (&theme=dark).

  • Change "title": "Discord Chat" as you prefer (e.g. "title": "my wonderful chat")

Add this script under /admin/customize/themes inside Desktop/Body tab to reload and update the iframe every 1.5 mins (made by @Yuun, see here).
Remember to change https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light with your Url (e.g. https://discordapp.com/widget?id=1234567890123&theme=light)

<script>
    function reloadIFrame() {
        var disc = document.getElementById("chatwidget");
        if (disc) {
            disc.src="https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light";
        }
    }
    window.setInterval("reloadIFrame();", 90000);
</script>

Display the button only to logged in users

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require('virtual-dom');
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");
const user = require('discourse/models/user').default;
   if (user !== null) {

api.createWidget('discord-chat-menu', {
  tagName: 'div.discord-panel',

  html() {
    return this.attach('menu-panel', {
      contents: () => h('iframe', {
                        "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light',
                        "width": "350",
                        "height": "500",
                        "allowtransparency": "true",
                        "frameborder": "0",
                        "id": "chatwidget",
                        "name": "chatwidget",}
                    )

    });
  },

  clickOutside() {
    this.sendWidgetAction('toggleDiscordChat');
  }
});

    
api.decorateWidget('header-icons:before', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
  return helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'fab-discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });
});

api.decorateWidget('header-icons:after', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
    if (headerState.discordChatVisible) {
        return [helper.attach('discord-chat-menu')];
    }
});

api.attachWidgetAction('header', 'toggleDiscordChat', function() {
  this.state.discordChatVisible = !this.state.discordChatVisible;
})};

</script>

Display the button only for users who belong to a certain trust level (and higher or lower - optional)

Change the script in this way:

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require('virtual-dom');
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");
   var level = User.currentProp("trust_level");
   if (level >=2) {  //Change the trust level here

api.createWidget('discord-chat-menu', {
  tagName: 'div.discord-panel',

  html() {
    return this.attach('menu-panel', {
      contents: () => h('iframe', {
                        "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light',
                        "width": "350",
                        "height": "500",
                        "allowtransparency": "true",
                        "frameborder": "0",
                        "id": "chatwidget",
                        "name": "chatwidget",}
                    )

    });
  },

  clickOutside() {
    this.sendWidgetAction('toggleDiscordChat');
  }
});

    
api.decorateWidget('header-icons:before', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
  return helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'fab-discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });
});

api.decorateWidget('header-icons:after', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
    if (headerState.discordChatVisible) {
        return [helper.attach('discord-chat-menu')];
    }
});

api.attachWidgetAction('header', 'toggleDiscordChat', function() {
  this.state.discordChatVisible = !this.state.discordChatVisible;
})};

</script>

In this case, the button is displayed to all users that belong to trust level 2 or higher (>=2). Use only =2 to display it only for users at trust level 2 (no higher), or (<=2) for users that belong to trust level 2 or lower. You can change the trust level (from 0 to 4) as needed. For more information about trust levels read Understanding Discourse Trust Levels

Display the button only for users who belong to staff (admins + mods) [@Neuferkar]

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require('virtual-dom');
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");
   const user = User.currentProp(); 
    if (user !== null && user.staff) { 

api.createWidget('discord-chat-menu', {
  tagName: 'div.discord-panel',

  html() {
    return this.attach('menu-panel', {
      contents: () => h('iframe', {
                        "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light',
                        "width": "350",
                        "height": "500",
                        "allowtransparency": "true",
                        "frameborder": "0",
                        "id": "chatwidget",
                        "name": "chatwidget",}
                    )

    });
  },

  clickOutside() {
    this.sendWidgetAction('toggleDiscordChat');
  }
});

    
api.decorateWidget('header-icons:before', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
  return helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'fab-discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });
});

api.decorateWidget('header-icons:after', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
    if (headerState.discordChatVisible) {
        return [helper.attach('discord-chat-menu')];
    }
});

api.attachWidgetAction('header', 'toggleDiscordChat', function() {
  this.state.discordChatVisible = !this.state.discordChatVisible;
})};

</script>

Change this line if (user !== null && user.staff) as you wish to display the button only to admins or only to mods:

  • if (user !== null && user.administrator)
  • if (user !== null && user.moderator)

Display the button only to members of a primary group (e.g. “footeam”) [@Neuferkar and @cpradio]

Be sure to target the primary_group_name correctly (see here)

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require('virtual-dom');
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");
const user = User.currentProp(); 
if (user !== null && user.primary_group_name === "footeam") { 

api.createWidget('discord-chat-menu', {
  tagName: 'div.discord-panel',

  html() {
    return this.attach('menu-panel', {
      contents: () => h('iframe', {
                        "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light',
                        "width": "350",
                        "height": "500",
                        "allowtransparency": "true",
                        "frameborder": "0",
                        "id": "chatwidget",
                        "name": "chatwidget",}
                    )

    });
  },

  clickOutside() {
    this.sendWidgetAction('toggleDiscordChat');
  }
});

    
api.decorateWidget('header-icons:before', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
  return helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'fab-discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });
});

api.decorateWidget('header-icons:after', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
    if (headerState.discordChatVisible) {
        return [helper.attach('discord-chat-menu')];
    }
});

api.attachWidgetAction('header', 'toggleDiscordChat', function() {
  this.state.discordChatVisible = !this.state.discordChatVisible;
})};

</script>

Mobile View

For mobile I use an icon with an invite Url to my server since on phones there is a cool Discord App to install.

Just add to your site the Custom Header Links (icons) theme component and enter in the theme settings:

  • Header links: Mobile-only link,fab-discord,https://discord.gg/INVITE_ID,vmo,blank
  • Svg icons: fab-discord

Remember to generate an invite of infinite duration, so it will always be valid and you will not have to change it again and make sure to update the Url from https://discord.gg/INVITE_ID to your real invite ID:

In

helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });

, icon: 'discord' should be changed to icon: 'fab-discord'

Are there plans to make this into an official plugin? It will be easier to maintain it that way. Thanks for sharing this!

It could be a TC I reckon.

Hola, ¡gracias por desarrollar este widget! Acabo de añadirlo a nuestro foro siguiendo tus instrucciones y, aunque el widget se muestra correctamente, no parece conectarse (intenta cargar sin fin… ver captura de pantalla a continuación). Comprobé tres veces que el código copiado fuera 100% preciso, pero aún así parece no cargarse correctamente. También añadí el ID del servidor de Discord correctamente en todas las secciones referenciadas.

¡Cualquier ayuda sería muy apreciada!

¿Copiar y pegar todo este código es, argumentablemente, un poco desordenado y propenso a errores? Alguien con suficiente tiempo y autointerés debería considerar publicar esto como un Componente de Tema y aplicar las correcciones según corresponda (y publicar un Tema al respecto en Theme).

Asegúrate de que has habilitado el “Widget del servidor” en Discord en Configuración del servidor > Widget.

Hola chicos, he tomado esta increíble guía y la he empaquetado en un componente de tema fácil de instalar:

Gracias por esta guía. Terminé modificándola ligeramente e incrustando WidgetBot. Esperaba usar el crate de WidgetBot en lugar de un iframe, pero tuve problemas para cargar javascript externo, así que esto servirá por ahora.

También noté algunos problemas. El método de único usuario conectado no funcionó y el icono se mostraba incluso cuando no estaba conectado. Así que usé el método de nivel de confianza con >= 1. El otro problema es que el ancho no parece superar los 350 (no creo que sea un problema de caché ya que lo intenté en modo privado y en diferentes navegadores). Además, la altura parece ajustarse correctamente.

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require("virtual-dom");
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");
var level = Discourse.User.currentProp("trust_level");

// ensure user is logged in and of trust level 1 or higher
if (level >= 1) {

    api.createWidget("discord-chat-menu", {
        tagName: "div.discord-panel",

        html() {
            return this.attach("menu-panel", {
                contents: () =>
                    h("iframe", {
                        src: "https://e.widgetbot.io/channels/<server_id>/<channel_id>",
                        sandbox: "allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts",
                        width: "400",
                        height: "500",
                        allowtransparency: "false",
                        frameborder: "0",
                        id: "widgetbot",
                        name: "widgetbot",
                    }),
            });
        },

        clickOutside() {
            this.sendWidgetAction("toggleDiscordChat");
        },
    });

    api.decorateWidget("header-icons:before", function (helper) {
        const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
        return helper.attach("header-dropdown", {
            title: "Discord Chat",
            icon: "fab-discord",
            active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
            action: "toggleDiscordChat",
        });
    });

    api.decorateWidget("header-icons:after", function (helper) {
        const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
        if (headerState.discordChatVisible) {
            return [helper.attach("discord-chat-menu")];
        }
    });

    api.attachWidgetAction("header", "toggleDiscordChat", function () {
        this.state.discordChatVisible = !this.state.discordChatVisible;
    });
}
</script>

Esto está obsoleto en favor de

User.currentProp

Entonces deberías poder usar >=0 ya que los usuarios con nivel de confianza 0 también son usuarios registrados.

Si mal no recuerdo, ¿350 estaba codificado en el código del iframe de Discord? :thinking:

Buena observación. Todavía soy nuevo en Discourse y estoy en modo “arranque” donde todos son nivel 1. Lo ajustaré.

Correcto, pero lo cambié…

                    "iframe", {
                        src: "https://e.widgetbot.io/channels/<server_id>/<channel_id>",
                        sandbox: "allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts",
                        width: "400",
                        height: "500",
                        allowtransparency: "false",
                        frameborder: "0",
                        id: "widgetbot",
                        name: "widgetbot",
                    }

WidgetBot ciertamente no tiene límite en el tamaño del iframe… imagen de mi sitio web.
