DiscPage: a plugin to create static pages and insert discussion balloons in the text

[syl]

@Benjamin_D

I commented out the html.dpg header.d-header .wrap block and it doesn’t feel too bad having a little white around the header above the static split page.

I prefer the current layout. However, there should be an easy way to customize this. I will think about it.

@Benjamin_D

Not important, but would it also work if the static one is a sub-category of the balloon one?

No, this combination is not supported.

@Benjamin_D

Would it be possible to let users create and edit (their) static posts? The admin restriction could then only be achieved with the category security settings.

As you already figured, creating static pages is not limited to admins, but inserting balloons is. The reason is that there is no straightforward way to create tags in Discourse (see this thread). To do so, I chose to use the tag group API, which is restricted to admins. There were alternate solutions, but coming with their own drawbacks.

BTW, I’ve found that the plugin checklist seems to interfere with discpage (something about getmodel() )

You mean this plugin? What’s wrong?
