Disable topic buttons converting to select on mobile

[misham (Mykhailo)]

Hi, is there any way to disable converting these buttons to select on mobile Imgur: The magic of the Internet? I’d like to display them as simple buttons

Hello,

You can do it with overriding the topic-footer-buttons template.

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/templates/components/topic-footer-buttons.hbs

I modified the template to show the buttons on mobile view too. This is a little risky because if there is any change in core template you have to change this too otherwise the site could broke. So you have to check the core template every time you update your site.

Common/Header

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="components/topic-footer-buttons">
  <div class="topic-footer-main-buttons">
    <TopicAdminMenuButton @topic={{this.topic}} @openUpwards="true" @toggleMultiSelect={{this.toggleMultiSelect}} @showTopicSlowModeUpdate={{this.showTopicSlowModeUpdate}} @deleteTopic={{this.deleteTopic}} @recoverTopic={{this.recoverTopic}} @toggleFeaturedOnProfile={{this.toggleFeaturedOnProfile}} @toggleClosed={{this.toggleClosed}} @toggleArchived={{this.toggleArchived}} @toggleVisibility={{this.toggleVisibility}} @showTopicTimerModal={{this.showTopicTimerModal}} @showFeatureTopic={{this.showFeatureTopic}} @showChangeTimestamp={{this.showChangeTimestamp}} @resetBumpDate={{this.resetBumpDate}} @convertToPublicTopic={{this.convertToPublicTopic}} @convertToPrivateMessage={{this.convertToPrivateMessage}} />

    {{#each this.inlineButtons as |actionable|}}
      <DButton @id={{concat "topic-footer-button-" actionable.id}} @class={{concat "btn-default topic-footer-button " actionable.classNames}} @action={{actionable.action}} @icon={{actionable.icon}} @translatedLabel={{actionable.label}} @translatedTitle={{actionable.title}} @translatedAriaLabel={{actionable.ariaLabel}} @disabled={{actionable.disabled}} />
    {{/each}}

    <PluginOutlet @name="topic-footer-main-buttons-before-create" @args={{hash topic=this.topic}} @connectorTagName="span" />

    {{#if this.topic.details.can_create_post}}
      <DButton @class="btn-primary create" @icon="reply" @action={{this.replyToPost}} @label="topic.reply.title" @title="topic.reply.help" />
    {{/if}}

    <PluginOutlet @name="after-topic-footer-main-buttons" @args={{hash topic=this.topic}} @connectorTagName="span" />
  </div>

  <PinnedButton @pinned={{this.topic.pinned}} @topic={{this.topic}} />

  {{#if this.showNotificationsButton}}
    {{#if this.showNotificationUserTip}}
      <UserTip @id="topic_notification_levels" @selector=".notifications-button" />
    {{/if}}

    <TopicNotificationsButton @notificationLevel={{this.topic.details.notification_level}} @topic={{this.topic}} />
  {{/if}}

  <PluginOutlet @name="after-topic-footer-buttons" @args={{hash topic=this.topic}} @connectorTagName="span" />
</script>

I would hide the labels on mobile and add the bookmarked icon blue color to the mobile version too.

Mobile/CSS

#topic-footer-buttons {
  .topic-footer-button {
    .d-icon {
      margin: 0;
    }
    .d-button-label {
      display: none;
    }
  }

  .bookmark.bookmarked {
    .d-icon-bookmark,
    .d-icon-discourse-bookmark-clock {
      color: var(--tertiary);
    }
  }
}
