I have been messing about trying to get a different look to other sites and have built a Facebook style topic modal. It seems to load quicker for me and seems to be more fluent on desktop. What are your thoughts? Link to test is https://www.carptalk-online.co.uk/ (only works on Desktop)

Just wanted to say a big thank you to @Don for getting this modal working. I’d been struggling with it for a while and had tried a few different approaches, but Don managed to put together a solution that actually works properly. Really appreciate you taking the time to build it and share it — it…

Hello :waving_hand: Different approach from @Damian_Boon ’s though: no iframe, everything runs as native Glimmer components reusing Discourse’s own Post/post-stream mechanism. Since a few specific questions came up in the thread, here’s how I ended up solving each one. Why not an iframe An iframe…

I’d love to test your version @Don :heart_eyes:

Hello :waving_hand: Sure, absolutely! Originally, I built this feature directly into my own custom theme, so I had to extract and split it into a standalone theme component. On my own site, I trigger the modal via a dedicated button, whereas this theme component triggers it directly when clicking …
