:information_source: Summary Discourse Audio Message allows users to directly record and attach audio messages to their posts. :hammer_and_wrench: Repository Link https://github.com/pbenkoe/discourse-audio-message :open_book: Install Guide How to install plugins in Discourse This plugin was developed with the help of ChatGPT, as my background in backend/javascript development is limited. The implementation is very basic, but I hope it will help some people and maybe it can serve as a foundation to develop it further. Make sure to check the installation instructions on the Github page.

[صورة] peter.be: While I never tried it myself, based on the thread I assumed it doesn’t work properly and decided to develop a little plugin myself… It would have been better to PR a fix?

Here is a Vimeo demonstrating usage of this plugin… (and BTW it also works in mobile :clap:) [Discourse Audio Message Plugin Demo - 8/1/2023]

FYI this plugin breaks the tag groups page on my site. The entire list of tag groups disappears and you cannot modify any of the tag groups. Removed this plugin and the issue went away…

I’ve slipped this over to #dev while there’s still some discussion over the development aspects of it. :+1:

Guys, it’s great fun to have a go at writing a plugin no-doubt and a very useful learning experience, and even more fun seeing if ChatGPT can help you write it … … but deploying a plugin to Production and formally sharing it with the public does put the onus on you to support it going forward. Relying on ChatGPT is all well and good as a productivity assistant but really you need to understand every line of code yourself. I wouldn’t have a big problem with any of that if we hadn’t already had a Theme Component covering this functional space (albeit not currently functioning correctly) Deploying a plugin to take its place is a step backwards as you would always want to deploy something as a Theme Component if at all possible so that it can be used more widely by more kinds of installs, are less invasive, and much quicker to deploy and remove. You need to have a very good reason to revert to using a Plugin (and that reason may exist but would be good to elaborate on and justify). I still think as a community we should aim to maintain existing assets when they break rather than creating new ones (unless of course, like the Guest Gate Component, there’s a chance to create a Theme Component instead, which would be a worthwhile improvement) To that end efforts would have been better directed at PRing to imho: [صورة] Voice Recorder Component Theme component This is a working theme component based on the existing (broken) voice recording plugin. The functionality is the same. Please make sure you’ve added mp3 to authorized extensions. hammer_and_wrench Repository GitHub - paviliondev/discourse-voice-recorder: Add voice recordings to Discourse posts · GitHub question Install Guide How to install a theme or theme component open_book New to Discourse Themes? Beginner’s guide to using Discourse Themes I suspect the main reason that no longer works is because the original maintainer is too busy on other projects, but there is nothing stopping anyone contributing to the repo to fix it, has anyone tried? There’s a limit to the amount of time members of Pavilion can devote to the numerous public contributions we’ve made over the years and the community really needs to pick up some of the load. /rant over

[صورة] Robert: You need to have a very good reason to revert to using a Plugin Perhaps because it works? And… [صورة] Robert: I still think as a community we should aim to maintain existing assets when they break That never happened. From dev point of view I totally understad you. But as an example of end users I would say plugin vs. component is not that big question, because we (or I am) upgrading constantly anyway, and all that matters is way to get job done. We don’t need applications to record and upload audio. We have devices that can do it (anyway, almost because Apple still dislike MP3), but it is not very streamlined workflow. One button is, no matter if it comes from plugin or component. And yes. I prefer components too.

But as an example of end users I would say plugin vs. component is not that big question, because we (or I am) upgrading constantly anyway, and all that matters is way to get job done. Those who are hosted at lower price points are often restricted to Theme Components for customisation, and that’s almost certainly a significantly larger population, so by switching to a plugin you are cutting out a lot of sites. Of course you and I don’t have this particular restriction.

That’s true. Those are cases I don’t remember ever. But they have limited access anyway. So such situation is just another more (which one should avoid if possible, though),

But as an example of end users I would say plugin vs. component is not that big question, because we (or I am) upgrading constantly anyway, and all that matters is way to get job done. it is actuallly a very big deal since so many instances are hosted, and plugins are also further limited by hosting tiers. theme components have some limitations but also offer much more flexibility and ease of administration for those who are not self-hosted.

[صورة] Jakke Flemming: So such situation is just another more (which one should avoid if possible, though), maybe i am misunderstanding you (language issues) but i disagree - hosting is a very viable option and solution for many forums.
