Does Discourse supports hosting Gleam giveaways? Gleam provides HTML embed code, but I tried it in a Discourse post and I couldn’t get it to work/display.
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around supporting Gleam giveaways in Discourse. christian_01 attempted to embed the Gleam HTML code in a post, but it didn’t load. Johani confirmed that it’s possible through a theme component, but christian_01 encountered issues with the widget not displaying. The problem seems to be related to JavaScript support in topics, which christian_01 suspected was the cause. However, sam corrected this, stating that JavaScript is supported, but a theme component is required, which would necessitate developer assistance.
The short answer is yes! Everything I see here can be done in a theme component. The amount of work required on your end depends on which method you want to use.
In theory it does yes, but when I put the HTML embed code into a topics post, the Gleam widget doesn’t load.
This is all I see, instead of the Gleam widget. It’s just standard embed HTML provided from Gleam too, which works fine on a WordPress site.
It looks like Discourse doesn’t support JavaScript in Topics.
Is there a workaround?
We do support JS in topics, you just need to write a theme component that decorates the posts according to rules you set.
This will require developer help. I recommend you post in Marketplace
