Shortly I will be merging a branch of Discourse into master that updates us to the latest stable version of Ember, which is 2.10. This is exciting because we’ve been behind Ember’s stable branch for a while and we’ve finally caught up! It also contains the Glimmer 2 template engine which is quite a …

Update: We’re just going to deploy for meta for now. Ember 2.10 is running here so please let us know if you notice anything broken. If you are feeling adventurous, you can deploy from the ember-2.10 branch on your discourses and try things out yourself!

If you’re writing a full plugin I recommend you don’t use this and let the connector class be automatically resolved, but if you’re using a customization this will work: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/250ca114…

Just to expand a bit, looks like if you want to set a class on wrapping component you would use: api.registerConnectorClass('user-profile-primary', 'my-connector', { setupComponent() { this.set('classNames', ['foo']); } }); With the new changes I am seeing a wrapping span @eviltrout which …

Unfortunately there’s no way to remove it. Maybe you can change the HTML to have two ul tags, where the second one is the outlet?

Unlike the posted example directory structure [image] eviltrout: my-plugin/connectors/user-profile-controls/my-connector.js.es6 I noticed that some plugins (eg, cakeday) are like my-plugin/assets/javascripts/discourse/connectors/user-profile-controls/my-connector.js.es6 I’m guessing the …
