Install plugins on a self-hosted site

Since last year, editing topics in Documentation has been limited to team members, so even if you tried, you wouldn’t have been able to update the instructions anymore.

i am a new admin to our site. just did an update after long time and i just see now that this plugin is not working anymore.
are there any updates or forkes that i can use?

[Admin-Hinweis] Plug-in ‘retort’ enthält Code, der aktualisiert werden muss. (ID:discourse.widgets-end-of-life) (mehr erfahren)

Thank you very much.

Do you know why you haven’t switched from retort to reactions? When it comes to being able to select more than one reaction, I don’t think there’s an alternative yet. The feature of being able to choose from all emojis instead of from a few predefined by the admin was also recently added to the Reactions plug-in.

i will check that out.
I was hoping to find a way saving all the reactions given so far, but that´s not to important.

Thanks for your quick reply

This might help save the reactions you have Discourse Retort - #435 by angus

I’m pretty sure I installed a bunch of plugins I found here on Meta with a kind of “one-clic install” where I just had to fill in the URL for my Discourse instance – are these instructions still current?

It only works with Theme and Theme component, not Plugin :slight_smile:

OK, heard that, but how? Do I make indentations with spaces or tabs? That would be useful info for somebody doing this for the first time as I’m about to.

You must use spaces :slight_smile:

once you have the file open using your text editor of choice

Scroll down the file until you find the plugin section (there are a few already in the file)

place your cursor at the end of one of the existing line and hit enter

use space to start the new line exactly where the one above starts

type in the command in exactly the same way as the existing line above

save and close

restart discourse
