Layouts Plugin

[Mr.X_Mr.X (Mr X)]

@keegan were you able to fix it? I noticed is fixed on pavilion or I m not able to replicate it anymore. Pushing a fix would be great in case there is one, on my instances it cripples the search

[keegan (Keegan George)]

Hey @Mr.X_Mr.X I’m able to reproduce the issue on thepavilion.io. I haven’t had the time to check it out yet, but I will try to get to it as soon as I have some more time.

I think I found a bug with the Layouts Plugin, in the /search it spawns a checkbox that seems to alter the search with skip_context=true/false. The checkbox is checked by default (skip_context=false) and search results are always empty unless the checkbox is unchecked. Checking and unchecking the box breaks the theme settings as well, layouts_sidebar_left_position is set to full but when checking or unchecking the checkbox it cause the header full settings to be ignored.

This issue has been resolved with this commit:

FIX: Checkbox causing issues with search (#25)

Whenever the Layouts Plugin is enabled, the “tag” field is not prefilled in the composer when creating a new Topic from a Tag page. It seems to be a reincarnation of a previously-resolved bug…

The "tag" field is not pre-filled anymore in composer

When creating a topic in a “tag” page, it seems the “tag” field is not pre-filled anymore in the composer: [image] I think this occurs from at least version 4f48304a44.

Please do let me know if I can provide assistance, testing, or more information to resolve this!

Please create an issue report here

Discourse Plugin Manager

[denvergeeks]

Thank you @angus I have created the issue report on Pavilion.

[mouad_belgoute]

hey
No content loads when I open a page for any tag.
discourse version : 2.8.9
layout plugin version : 0.3.1

[attalbialami]

I’m facing the same issue as @mouad_belgoute when i choose any Tag value on the homepage tag filter field, the page is empty. I have also checked if data is not received but unfortunately the data was successfully received with 200 status.

@angus any about this problem ? This is blocking my devs

Disabling the layout plugin removes the issue.

[angus (Angus McLeod)]

Hey guys, I can’t reproduce this.

This is a test site with the latest version of Layouts Plugin and Discourse. The Layouts Plugin has the Category List Widget activated. This is a tag route

Topics tagged tag1

Could you please provide live examples of the issue either on your community or test.pavilion.tech.

@mouad_belgoute Please try updating Discourse to the latest version.
@attalbialami are you using the same versions as @mouad_belgoute? Are you working on the same site?

[RGJ (Richard - Communiteq)]

Yes, I can reproduce this, the problem is that the latest version of the Layouts plugin is not compatible with stable. It does not yield any errors though, the page just turns blank.

[angus (Angus McLeod)]

Ah! The Layouts Plugin does not currently support the stable branch of Discourse.

@mouad_belgoute @attalbialami Please consider using tests-passed if you want to use this plugin.

[mouad_belgoute]

Thanks for your reply

Hi @angus,

Do you know if by any chance the plugin has been fixed for newer versions of the main branch of Discourse or if I need to find another way to achieve what I need? Do you plan on fixing it in the future?

Thanks in advance for your answer

[angus (Angus McLeod)]

Hey @AriesFR,

The plugin has been working on the main branch of Discourse for some time If you’re have a specific issue please raise it with us here

Discourse Layouts

Yep, it’s been working fine on tests-passed for as long as I can remember. I did submit some slight tweak to the Topic page recently to keep it polished:

FIX: settings navigation button in Layouts menu and strange nav behaviour on topics

As you can see, sidebars are working great, I have used them here for ages:

StarZen

In addition I added a Layouts widget in the AI Topic Summary Plugin so you can have a summary in a sidebar.

It’s always good to try these things in a staging site, do you have one?

[AriesFR (Jean-Charles RIPAULT)]

Thanks, I will. It might be my not understanding its internals (I’m quite new on discourse), but I tried it on a brand new test installation with two widgets without success (I have nothing displayed on either side). I just need to identify how to explain the issue clearly!

In fact, I haven’t found a comprehensive howto to make it work yet, and that’s very probably the source of my problem.

Edit: I just found out the documentation aside from your link, I’ll dig in it first…
Edit 2: It’s much easier when I find and read the documentation, it’s indeed exactly what I needed. Thanks a lot, it now works fine!

[Nick_Tomlinson]

shame the documentation is non existant

[AriesFR (Jean-Charles RIPAULT)]

Well, maybe it is non-existant, but I did not know it and found it …

Hello, I recently installed this wonderful plugin. Loaded the topic list widget as a component.
I noticed that when I click on a topic’s text link in the sidebar and then click on the corresponding post, the sidebar disappears. I have to refresh the site page to get the sidebar to appear again. Is this a feature of the plugin (or widget?) or am I doing something wrong?

Here are my settings:

Please do not rebuild if this plugin is critical to your site:

Upcoming refactoring to Discovery routes: how will it affect my theme/plugin?

This change is now live in main/tests-passed

Layouts deeply customised the front-end on Discourse and we’ve not had the resources available yet to refactor it to support the above changes.

Either:

• Hold off rebuilding til we give you the green light OR
• Remove Layouts from your site for the time being.

Thanks for your interest in our free offering.
