Okay, so if I already have a well-developed plugin in development mode, how do I move that plugin to production without relying on third-party services? Is there even a way to do that?

So you recommend Discourse team move away from GitHub? There are several alternatives and that’s fine. Use them if you must, but if you aren’t prepared to put in a little work, don’t bother running Discourse imho.

Is that what you call combative? I’m sorry, but nobody’s been fighting, you’re probably just being too sensitive. And I’m sorry if that sounded combative. Anyway, to answer your question, I obviously did it with a disposable GitHub account, but they’re so small that I don’t really have to test them…

It’s like saying you want a car, but can’t be bother getting the annual road-worthiness check. It’s just the cost of doing business when hosting publicly on the open web. I’m sure if you want to, you can work out a way to modify the install scripts and symlink them from somewhere on your server, b…

Even simpler if you don’t want to install the discourse_theme gem, themes can be uploaded as a zip file and you could build quite a lot in the admin UI directly. And to reiterate, unless you’re working with ruby you don’t need a plugin at all, so a theme is likely what you’re asking for… no git nee…

Good point! But the advantage of discourse_theme is the instant way it updates in place so you can quickly checkout changes without having to zip an update and re-upload.

[صورة] merefield: It’s like saying you want a car Sounds more like wanting to drive a car but never visit a gas station. “I’ll just scoop the gas into the tank using my bare hands”. :fire: If you used GitHub to develop the plugins then using it as a source for installation is trivial. Pushin…

[صورة] Willy: I’m not kidding when I say they’re very small. For example, one of them just adds a button to an external page on the home page, and that’s it. I am wondering if you mean Customization > Plugin or Customization > Theme component ? For example the custom button on Home screen, c…

(Btw @Heliosurge I think this was brought up earlier): [صورة] merefield: [صورة] Willy: . I’m not kidding when I say they’re very small. For example, one of them just adds a button to an external page on the home page, and that’s it. If you can boil that down to a Theme Component you coul…

It’s obvious that the topic has now completely veered off course, as always happens in any thread that goes against the grain. I don’t even intend to discuss the issue of using a theme component, but thanks to everyone anyway.

How did it veer off track? You asked a question and people expressed their opinions. Looks completely on topic to me? You have all the info you need now to implement whatever setup you want?
