[imagem] Introducing fast edit megaphoneAnnouncements As of today it’s now possible to edit a small selection of a post in few clicks. [fast-edit] Can be disabled with the site setting: enable_fast_edit Important: If the code is not able to define with certainty which part of the post should be edited, it will fallback to open the composer. It doesn’t work with discourse-encrypt ATM Future improvement: a keyboard shortcut Add keyboard shortcuts to Fast Edit Built with @Falco @sam @dan @tgxworld and @pmusaraj All this needs now is a “Highlight” button! Could a Theme Component work for this, or would it need to be a Plugin? Any existing starting points would be stellar for me to get started looking into it! Maybe duplicate the “Quote” button functions and re-style the result… hmm… [sharpie markers lol GIF by Sharpie]

[imagem] denvergeeks: Hey, where did this “Share” button on the Fast Edit popup come from? That’s a great question! And we both suspect that if we can find that, then your dream will be much closer to coming true! I think it must be Social Share . . . well, it doesn’t look like it from that topic. . .

There are site settings where you can configure it. It works only on desktop view public topics. share quote visibility share quote buttons

FWIW setting explorer explains the settings well: GPT Bot Settings Explorer Look up site setting context Reading context for: share_quote_buttons The share_quote_buttons setting in Discourse determines which items appear in the quote sharing widget, and in what order. The default options include “Twitter” and “Email”. This setting is client-side and allows you to choose from a list of options including Twitter, Facebook, and Email. However, it does not allow any other choices apart from these. The setting also includes a validation check. For example, if Facebook is included in the share_quote_buttons but the Facebook app ID is not set in the site settings, it will return an error. This setting affects the visibility and options of the quote sharing widget in the user interface. For example, if the share_quote_buttons setting includes “Twitter” and “Email”, then when a user selects a text to quote, they will see options to share the quote on Twitter and via Email. In the Discourse codebase, you can find this setting in the site_settings.yml file and its validations in the validations.rb file. The functionality of this setting is also tested in the topic-quote-button-test.js file. Look up site setting context Reading context for: share_quote_visibility The share_quote_visibility setting in Discourse determines when to show quote sharing buttons. There are three possible choices for this setting: “none”: The quote sharing buttons will never be shown. “anonymous”: The quote sharing buttons will only be shown to anonymous users. “all”: The quote sharing buttons will be shown to all users. The default setting is “anonymous”. This means that by default, quote sharing buttons will only be visible to users who are not logged in. This setting is used in the quoteSharingEnabled function in the quote-button.js file. This function checks several conditions to determine whether quote sharing should be enabled. These conditions include whether the site is in desktop view, whether there are any active sharing sources, whether the topic is visible, whether the topic’s category is read restricted, and what the share_quote_visibility setting is set to. In the acceptance tests for the topic quote button, this setting is used to determine whether the quote sharing buttons should be shown or not. If the setting is “all”, the quote sharing buttons are shown. If the setting is “none”, the quote sharing buttons are not shown.

“Floating Highlight Button” - yes, Love that name!

Could it be more feasible (or altogether crazy?) to allow all – or a specific group – of the built-in composer toolbar buttons to become Fast Edit “Floating Toolbar”? (i.e. Instead of adding more buttons to the Fast Edit, add the “Floating” option to something like MD Composer Extras or bbcode buttons.) (The thin air up here in the high altitude of the Colorado Rocky Mountains sometimes makes me highly aspirational.) [Mountain Bike Bikes GIF by Electric Cyclery]

[imagem] Jay Pfaffman: My idea for the coloring would be to use [wrap=highlight] around the stuff you want highlighted and then apply the style to Hmm, why use [wrap] when there is highlighted text which works out of the box? This is highlighted text within a sentence.

[imagem] Gerhard Schlager: Hmm, why use [wrap] when there is highlighted text which works out of the box? LOL. Why indeed?

To simplify separated styling? (Or not?)

[imagem] denvergeeks: To simplify separated styling? So kind to come to my defense, but . . . That would be true only if you’re using in other places and want it to be different. I doubt that’s the case. What I’d recommend (and given that I didnt’ know existed, you might consider the source!), is to just use . You wouldn’t need any CSS that way.

My future plan for this is to provide color options (via a color picker). So, for example, I can select some text and apply a light blue highlight, and then select some other text and apply a pink highlight, and so on. One (sometimes fatal, I think) limitation in the current version is that the highlight is site-wide, so changing the color applies that color change to every highlight on the site. I mean, I guess it’s useful that the admin can change the highlight color globally, but beyond that it could be more frustrating for end users to see their highlights change color. @merefield’s approach might be better suited as a starting point.
