This thread discusses the Discourse Discord Widget, a theme component developed by Pavilion to integrate Discord widgets into Discourse forums 1. The component, based on prior work by @dax, allows for easy installation and configuration 1.
Users reported and resolved several issues. AquaL1te noted that leaving require_groups empty prevented the widget from displaying, a bug that keegan fixed by making the setting optional 3. The community also addressed compatibility with upcoming header changes 5; Arkshine submitted a PR to update the component, which was subsequently merged 8.
Regarding production usage, jeffbyrnes confirmed the widget works well but encountered a bug tracked in issue #4 11. Additionally, keegan requested assistance merging a pending PR (#5) after leaving Pavilion, which angus successfully completed 14. The discussion concludes with confirmation that previous issues have been resolved 16.
This component is based on the work of Daniela (@dax)'s post here and packages the information into an easily installable theme component.

Install Theme Component
If I leave the require_groups empty, it doesn’t show up. But when I put trust_level_0 in there it does work. Am I doing this right or wrong? Why would the require_groups be filled in, why not just always show it?
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Sorry, there was a minor bug in the code. I’ve resolved it, making the require_groups setting optional. If you update the theme this issue should no longer exist.
Is this slated for an update to meet the new header specs?
I tried a naive fix on my own (still using the old script, pre theme-component days) and failed egregiously on a first pass. 
I figured I’d pop in here to see what’s going on before taking another swing at it.
Came here to share the same; I even opened a GH Issue.
I will see if I can make a PR today for that. 
Sorry for the wait; I made the PR.

The PR has been merged; thanks, Angus!
Hi - this Widget looks really interesting and amazing. I was thinking about using this to better integrate the two communities. Does anyone have any feedback on how this is operating in production and any trends from their community?
We’ve had this widget in our Discourse forum for some time now, and it’s been great @Ari_Waller.
Unfortunately, we ran into a bug, so I filed paviliondev/discourse-discord-widget#4. Would love some attention on that!
@keegan any chance of merging in paviliondev/discourse-discord-widget#5?
Sorry I don’t have access to merge since I’m no longer with Pavilion
@angus could you have a look?
Merged! Thanks Jeff.
Is the broken tag still relevant or did the lastest changes fix the component?
From what I experienced, it fixed it
