Users are facing issues with registering public assets in Discourse plugins, specifically when trying to access images on a private members-only site. featheredtoast shared their problem with the Discord oauth plugin, and Nikolay also reported the same issue.
simon provided the solution by referencing an old Discourse plugin, trout_emoji, which demonstrates how to register public assets. The key is to add images to the public/images directory in the plugin, and they will be available on the server at /plugins/plugin_name/images/, where plugin_name is the name specified in the plugin.rb file metadata.
Nikolay confirmed that this solution worked, and the problem was due to a misunderstanding of the plugin name in the path.
Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I am unable to find a previous topic on this.
I’m wondering how to register an asset as public (such as an image) through a discourse plugin - it seems currently after registering, I get a 404 or 302 response when installing under a private member’s only site.
This is in reference to the Discord oauth plugin I built - I am unable to retrieve the image either directly, or through a register_asset call.
How would I go about serving static plugin assets in this case?
Das letzte Mal, als ich dies getestet habe, machten das Hinzufügen von Bildern in das Verzeichnis public/images in einem Plugin sie auf dem Server unter /plugins/plugin_name/images/ verfügbar.
Der Pluginname, den du im Pfad verwendest, ist der Name, den du in den Metadaten ganz oben in der Datei plugin.rb angibst, zum Beispiel /plugins/trout_emoji/images/trout-square.jpg.
