Hey everyone,
I have created an example plugin to override default Activity Summary (digest) template:

The main purpose of this plugin is to show how to override default `.erb` templates on Discourse.
I hope this helpful for someone.

@mbcahyono
Thanks for supplying your example plugin. I’m trying to do something similar, I need to replace/override the /app/views/embed/comments.html.erb file with the one in my plugin.
This is my repo:
[https://github.com/OptDev/optuma-discourse-custom-embed](https://github.com/OptDev/optuma-discourse-custom-embed)
I’m not sure why this is not working, I thought EmbedController would be the correct class to use but I’m obviously wrong. Do you have any suggestions?

Above repo is no longer available.
Would have been glad to be able to learn from it.

@thoka That was my repo, it ended up in our private space on GitHub.
It was a very basic change but the gist of it can be seen here.

> @Canapin Yes! Got it all working. Here is what the plugin.rb ended up looking like. Turned out I just had a path issue where I was putting the custom version of the file. I ended up putting it in a folder /custom\_views/embed/comments.html.erb # frozen\_string\_literal: true # name: optuma\_discourse\_custom\_embed # about: A simple plugin to used to customise the template in the forum embeds # version: 1.0.0 # authors: Optuma Pty Ltd # url: https://github.com/OptDev/optuma-discourse-custom-embed #…
