How to add Assign to the post menu?

Product Support

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around adding the “Assign” button to the post menu in Discourse. appeltaartje initially asked how to add the Assign button after enabling the Assign plugin, and ondrej suggested checking the assign allowed on groups site setting. appeltaartje found that the Assign button appears under every topic, but only when clicking on the three dots.

ondrej mentioned the Post menu hidden items site setting, which allows arranging buttons and removing the ellipsis. sam also pointed this out and asked if the Assign plugin was properly enabled and if the latest Discourse version was being used.

appeltaartje considered removing all items from post menu hidden items as a solution, but wondered if it was possible to add assign to the post menu settings. However, saquetim clarified that this is not possible, as plugin-added buttons cannot be configured through the post menu settings.

After enabling the Assign plugin I cannot find how to add the Assign button to the post menu. Does anyone know how to do this? Is it related to this update that Assign is not available in the Post menu settings? Upcoming post menu changes - How to prepare themes and plugins

Does it appear in the topic action buttons? Or does it not display anywhere?

Is it possible to put the assign button between the like and bookmark icons, so that it is not needed to click on the three dots anymore?

I am seeing it here, wondering if you enabled assign on posts in the plugin and if you are running latest Discourse?

Removing all items from post menu hidden idems could be a solution to show the Assign item.

However – is it possible to add assign to the post menu settings? I cannot find it there. I still want to hide some items from the menu.

Discourse 3.4.1 is the version that’s running.

It’s not possible. These settings only apply to core buttons.

The ones added by plugins cannot be configured this way.
