ok, by changing the code, now everyone can post the entries.
However, it is a new question that i can not see the entry optins at left side like ordinary topic. I think it has something to do with the source code of discourse. Where can I research it?

Found a bug(?):

When Glimmer post stream mode in enabled in site settings, the Comments/replies are not being displayed. When submitting a new comment, it’s briefly displayed as a new post (not a comment) and then disappears.
Setting it Glimmer post stream mode to auto or disabled, it works as expected.

Tested on 3.5.0.beta8-dev

Frequent errors occur, indicating incompatibility with the latest Discourse core. It appears the plugin is trying to import the discourse/lib/posts-with-placeholders module, but this module was removed in Discourse v3.6.0, causing:

  • JavaScript to fail to load

  • The frontend to repeatedly retry requests

  • A large number of HTTP 522 (server timeout) and 429 (too many requests) errors

It seems like the plugin isn’t being maintained anymore. In our case we actually started to develop our own custom theme component with the working title “Journal view” which our community seems to like so far.

What the TC basically does is to filter posts by the topic owner with some visual CSS adjustments to the reply and comment buttons. That way we get a clean timeline and no poststream modification.

If anyone is curious and wants to test it, leave a few likes and I might create a topic in Dev :smiley:

Very interested. I was looking into attempting a TC to use a seperate Topic that could be embedded in a post to allow comments displayed by only showing the comments from the other topic. I can embed the topic but my CSS etc skills are not advanced enough.

@jrgong Pleeeeeeeeeezzzzzz DO this (or a linky to a repository?)

Here is the repo.
It’s all been done via LLM coding and uses a lot of workarounds and hacky methods, and in general, it might be a cleaner implementation to do it as a plugin. But as a proof of concept, it gets the job done so far (some edge cases not fixed yet, like toggle button state persistence after some user actions).

What’s really missing here so far and only possible via plugin:

  • Remove topic owner posts which are replies to other posts from PostStream
  • Disable for topic owner to create a-reply posts (and for all other users, disable creating non-reply posts)
  • Adjust “has new post(s) state” of topics so that only topic-owner non-reply posts (aka journal entries) trigger notifications, etc
  • Allow multiple journal authors (on a per-user base) for a single topic
  • Auto expand X embedded posts (aka replies)

Other ideas for further development:

  • Create and autom. update a TOC/Index in first post for all journal entries
