(Veraltet) Anzeige eines "Discord Widget" in einem Dropdown-Button

May 2022
This has has now been converted into a theme component by @keegan :tada::balloon:

Discourse Discord Widget

The Discord Widget does its job, but it’s really cumbersome and generally it’s an eyesore with the style of Discourse.
In the past few months I had tried to implement it everywhere (after-header, body, footer) but every time I found it too big and too customized to be permanently seen.
That’s why, in the end, I decided that a dropdown button would be the best solution. Users can decide if open the widget (maybe only to see the users online) and close it, or click the Connect button to enter the chat.

Desktop View

Display the button for ALL users (logged in and visitors):

Add this script under /admin/customize/themes inside Desktop/Head tab

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require('virtual-dom');
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");

api.createWidget('discord-chat-menu', {
  tagName: 'div.discord-panel',

  html() {
    return this.attach('menu-panel', {
      contents: () => h('iframe', {
                        "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light',
                        "sandbox": "allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts",
                        "width": "350",
                        "height": "500",
                        "allowtransparency": "true",
                        "frameborder": "0",
                        "id": "chatwidget",
                        "name": "chatwidget",}
                    )

    });
  },

  clickOutside() {
    this.sendWidgetAction('toggleDiscordChat');
  }
});
    
api.decorateWidget('header-icons:before', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
  return helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'fab-discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });
});

api.decorateWidget('header-icons:after', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
    if (headerState.discordChatVisible) {
        return [helper.attach('discord-chat-menu')];
    }
});

api.attachWidgetAction('header', 'toggleDiscordChat', function() {
  this.state.discordChatVisible = !this.state.discordChatVisible;
});

</script>

Make sure to change the Url here:

  • "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light', entering your Server ID in place of your-widget-ID. You can find it on Discord in Server Setting > Widget > Server ID.
    E.g. "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=1234567890123&theme=light',

  • Inside the Url you can also replace the theme style to make it light (&theme=light) or dark (&theme=dark).

  • Change "title": "Discord Chat" as you prefer (e.g. "title": "my wonderful chat")

Add this script under /admin/customize/themes inside Desktop/Body tab to reload and update the iframe every 1.5 mins (made by @Yuun, see here).
Remember to change https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light with your Url (e.g. https://discordapp.com/widget?id=1234567890123&theme=light)

<script>
    function reloadIFrame() {
        var disc = document.getElementById("chatwidget");
        if (disc) {
            disc.src="https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light";
        }
    }
    window.setInterval("reloadIFrame();", 90000);
</script>

Display the button only to logged in users

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require('virtual-dom');
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");
const user = require('discourse/models/user').default;
   if (user !== null) {

api.createWidget('discord-chat-menu', {
  tagName: 'div.discord-panel',

  html() {
    return this.attach('menu-panel', {
      contents: () => h('iframe', {
                        "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light',
                        "width": "350",
                        "height": "500",
                        "allowtransparency": "true",
                        "frameborder": "0",
                        "id": "chatwidget",
                        "name": "chatwidget",}
                    )

    });
  },

  clickOutside() {
    this.sendWidgetAction('toggleDiscordChat');
  }
});

    
api.decorateWidget('header-icons:before', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
  return helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'fab-discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });
});

api.decorateWidget('header-icons:after', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
    if (headerState.discordChatVisible) {
        return [helper.attach('discord-chat-menu')];
    }
});

api.attachWidgetAction('header', 'toggleDiscordChat', function() {
  this.state.discordChatVisible = !this.state.discordChatVisible;
})};

</script>

Display the button only for users who belong to a certain trust level (and higher or lower - optional)

Change the script in this way:

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require('virtual-dom');
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");
   var level = User.currentProp("trust_level");
   if (level >=2) {  //Change the trust level here

api.createWidget('discord-chat-menu', {
  tagName: 'div.discord-panel',

  html() {
    return this.attach('menu-panel', {
      contents: () => h('iframe', {
                        "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light',
                        "width": "350",
                        "height": "500",
                        "allowtransparency": "true",
                        "frameborder": "0",
                        "id": "chatwidget",
                        "name": "chatwidget",}
                    )

    });
  },

  clickOutside() {
    this.sendWidgetAction('toggleDiscordChat');
  }
});

    
api.decorateWidget('header-icons:before', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
  return helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'fab-discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });
});

api.decorateWidget('header-icons:after', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
    if (headerState.discordChatVisible) {
        return [helper.attach('discord-chat-menu')];
    }
});

api.attachWidgetAction('header', 'toggleDiscordChat', function() {
  this.state.discordChatVisible = !this.state.discordChatVisible;
})};

</script>

In this case, the button is displayed to all users that belong to trust level 2 or higher (>=2). Use only =2 to display it only for users at trust level 2 (no higher), or (<=2) for users that belong to trust level 2 or lower. You can change the trust level (from 0 to 4) as needed. For more information about trust levels read Understanding Discourse Trust Levels

Display the button only for users who belong to staff (admins + mods) [@Neuferkar]

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require('virtual-dom');
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");
   const user = User.currentProp(); 
    if (user !== null && user.staff) { 

api.createWidget('discord-chat-menu', {
  tagName: 'div.discord-panel',

  html() {
    return this.attach('menu-panel', {
      contents: () => h('iframe', {
                        "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light',
                        "width": "350",
                        "height": "500",
                        "allowtransparency": "true",
                        "frameborder": "0",
                        "id": "chatwidget",
                        "name": "chatwidget",}
                    )

    });
  },

  clickOutside() {
    this.sendWidgetAction('toggleDiscordChat');
  }
});

    
api.decorateWidget('header-icons:before', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
  return helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'fab-discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });
});

api.decorateWidget('header-icons:after', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
    if (headerState.discordChatVisible) {
        return [helper.attach('discord-chat-menu')];
    }
});

api.attachWidgetAction('header', 'toggleDiscordChat', function() {
  this.state.discordChatVisible = !this.state.discordChatVisible;
})};

</script>

Change this line if (user !== null && user.staff) as you wish to display the button only to admins or only to mods:

  • if (user !== null && user.administrator)
  • if (user !== null && user.moderator)

Display the button only to members of a primary group (e.g. “footeam”) [@Neuferkar and @cpradio]

Be sure to target the primary_group_name correctly (see here)

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require('virtual-dom');
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");
const user = User.currentProp(); 
if (user !== null && user.primary_group_name === "footeam") { 

api.createWidget('discord-chat-menu', {
  tagName: 'div.discord-panel',

  html() {
    return this.attach('menu-panel', {
      contents: () => h('iframe', {
                        "src": 'https://discordapp.com/widget?id=your-widget-ID&theme=light',
                        "width": "350",
                        "height": "500",
                        "allowtransparency": "true",
                        "frameborder": "0",
                        "id": "chatwidget",
                        "name": "chatwidget",}
                    )

    });
  },

  clickOutside() {
    this.sendWidgetAction('toggleDiscordChat');
  }
});

    
api.decorateWidget('header-icons:before', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
  return helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'fab-discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });
});

api.decorateWidget('header-icons:after', function(helper) {
  const headerState = helper.widget.parentWidget.state;
    if (headerState.discordChatVisible) {
        return [helper.attach('discord-chat-menu')];
    }
});

api.attachWidgetAction('header', 'toggleDiscordChat', function() {
  this.state.discordChatVisible = !this.state.discordChatVisible;
})};

</script>

Mobile View

For mobile I use an icon with an invite Url to my server since on phones there is a cool Discord App to install.

Just add to your site the Custom Header Links (icons) theme component and enter in the theme settings:

  • Header links: Mobile-only link,fab-discord,https://discord.gg/INVITE_ID,vmo,blank
  • Svg icons: fab-discord

Remember to generate an invite of infinite duration, so it will always be valid and you will not have to change it again and make sure to update the Url from https://discord.gg/INVITE_ID to your real invite ID:

In

helper.attach('header-dropdown', {
      title: 'Discord Chat',
      icon: 'discord',
      active: headerState.discordChatVisible,
      action: 'toggleDiscordChat',
    });

, icon: 'discord' should be changed to icon: 'fab-discord'

Done.

The guide is a wiki, feel free to edit and improve it!

Updated initial post to fix broken widget

Are there plans to make this into an official plugin? It will be easier to maintain it that way. Thanks for sharing this!

5 „Gefällt mir“

It could be a TC I reckon.

Hallo, danke für die Entwicklung dieses Widgets! Ich habe es gerade unserem Forum hinzugefügt, indem ich Ihren Anweisungen gefolgt bin. Das Widget wird zwar ordnungsgemäß angezeigt, scheint sich aber nicht zu verbinden (versucht endlos zu laden … siehe Screenshot unten). Ich habe dreimal überprüft, ob der kopierte Code zu 100 % korrekt war, aber er scheint immer noch nicht richtig zu laden. Ich habe auch die Discord-Server-ID in allen referenzierten Abschnitten korrekt hinzugefügt.

Jede Hilfe wäre sehr willkommen!

1 „Gefällt mir“

Ist das Kopieren und Einfügen dieses gesamten Codes nicht etwas unübersichtlich und fehleranfällig? Jemand mit genügend Zeit und Eigeninteresse sollte erwägen, dies als Theme-Komponente zu veröffentlichen und Korrekturen nach Bedarf anzuwenden (und einen Beitrag dazu in Theme zu posten).

1 „Gefällt mir“

Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie das „Server-Widget“ in Discord unter Server-Einstellungen > Widget aktiviert haben

Hallo Leute, ich habe diesen großartigen Leitfaden genommen und ihn in eine einfach zu installierende Theme-Komponente verpackt:

4 „Gefällt mir“

Vielen Dank für diese Anleitung. Ich habe sie leicht modifiziert und WidgetBot eingebettet. Ich hoffte, die WidgetBot-Erweiterung anstelle eines iFrames zu verwenden, hatte aber Probleme beim Laden externer JavaScript-Dateien, daher reicht dies vorerst aus.

Ich habe auch ein paar Probleme festgestellt. Die Methode für nur angemeldete Benutzer funktionierte nicht und das Symbol wurde auch im abgemeldeten Zustand angezeigt. Daher habe ich die Methode für das Vertrauensniveau mit >= 1 verwendet. Das andere Problem ist, dass die Breite nicht größer als 350 zu sein scheint (ich glaube nicht, dass es sich um ein Cache-Problem handelt, da ich es im privaten Modus und in verschiedenen Browsern ausprobiert habe). Die Höhe scheint sich jedoch richtig anzupassen.

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
const { h } = require("virtual-dom");
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");
var level = Discourse.User.currentProp("trust_level");

// ensure user is logged in and of trust level 1 or higher
if (level >= 1) {

    api.createWidget("discord-chat-menu", {
        tagName: "div.discord-panel",

        html() {
            return this.attach("menu-panel", {
                contents: () =>
                    h("iframe", {
                        src: "https://e.widgetbot.io/channels/<server_id>/<channel_id>",
                        sandbox: "allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts",
                        width: "400",

        },

        clickOutside() {

    });
}
</script>

Dies ist veraltet zugunsten von

User.currentProp

Dann sollten Sie >=0 verwenden können, da auch Benutzer mit Vertrauensstufe 0 registrierte Benutzer sind.

Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere, war 350 im Discord-iframe-Code fest codiert? :thinking:

Guter Punkt. Ich bin noch neu bei Discourse und im „Bootstrap“-Modus, in dem jeder Stufe 1 ist. Ich werde das anpassen.

Richtig, aber ich habe es geändert…

                    "iframe", {
                        src: "https://e.widgetbot.io/channels/<server_id>/<channel_id>",
                        sandbox: "allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts",
                        width: "400",
                        height: "500",
                        allowtransparency: "false",
                        frameborder: "0",
                        id: "widgetbot",
                        name: "widgetbot",
                    }

WidgetBot hat sicherlich keine Begrenzung für die iframe-Größe… Bild von meiner Website.
