Hello,
I wrote a plugin for mailing list type behaviour, where emails can be replied to (only the sender) and reply-all (to the whole topic). I want to recreate this in the web UI as well by having a “reply” and “reply all” button on each post in the topic. The “reply” would mimic clicking on a post author’s card and then “message”. This is the default behaviour it gives:
Despite writing the plugin above, I am not very familiar with rails and struggle significantly with it. I think I found the correct ‘action’ here. It is composePrivateMessage
, which is found in /discourse/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/routes/application.js
. As indicated by the path, it’s a route, which is throwing me off, and I am struggling to turn that into a clickable button.
Here is what I have right now:
api.addPostMenuButton("reply-privately", (attrs, state) => {
return {
action: composePrivateMessage(user, post),
title: "reply-privately",
icon: "reply",
position: "last",
className: "reply-privately",
};
});
Any thoughts on how to make the ‘action’ fit into the ‘route’?
