I’m trying to understand how to add a custom field to topics, and working through a very basic example. Goal: Add a custom field called “sample_field” to each topic created, with a simple string value. I’ve reviewed various examples, like the poll plugin and the solved plugin and this discussion , b…

I’m not aware of a perfect example, but might try to develop one at some point. You might have a look at some other plugins to look for examples. I’ll not sure which one off hand. There’s a Discourse repo called something like all-the-plugins, I often grep it to look for stuff. I bet the reactions…

Yes, always look at existing plugins. Here’s an example: plugin.rb af2bb17c1 def include_geo_location? SiteSetting.location_users_map end end public_user_custom_fields = SiteSetting.public_u…

Thanks all–I’ll take a look at these. I mentioned in the original post that I had reviewed a bunch of other examples already. Any thoughts on the code I provided?

Thanks. I’m not familiar with PostRevisor. Looking into that now. [изображение] merefield: edit the data within the Topic Meta area Not sure what you mean by Topic Meta area. Is that a file you have in mind? (In terms of ui, I know there’s the composer for creating, with the d-editor in ther…

I consider Category and Tag information to be meta data.

Here’s a currently working basic example of creating a topic custom field, and then setting it. This sets the field when the user clicks a particular button on the topic view page. I note that in the plugins that have topic custom fields, there’s a common use in plugin.rb of PostRevisor (like PostR…
