[PAID] extra input fields for new topic

[jrgong]

What would you like done?

I would like to add multiple input fields when creating a new topic in a specific category. Based on that the topic would be generated.

I am aware that Custom Wizard plugin is capable of such. Yet it’s such a complicated set up process that exceeds our requirements by far. We want to keep it simple instead

My idea is to use the category template for the syntax. Then we could use a similar syntax like the placeholder theme uses.

When do you need it done?

July 31st

What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?

50 USD for initial prototype/MVP/testing version for a single text input field.

We only want to implement it if it’s not overly complicated and the discourse theme/plugin engine allows the implementation easily.

Additional development will be funded based on the workload from there.

I found a possible workaround:

Create a link to start a new topic with pre-filled information

Discourse now supports composing a new (pre-filled) topic via URL! To compose a new pre-filled topic, modify URL params like this: https://discourse.example.com/new-topic?title=topic%20title&body=topic%20body&category=category/subcategory&tags=email,planned This will open composer window pre filled with topic title, body, category and tags. Breaking down the link / URL to show the available options, we have: the base URL / link: https://discourse.example.com/new-topic the ? URL operator to…

So if you can help me out to create a simple form that “constructs” this URL, send me private message

That looks promising as well! Unfortunately I haven’t found a simple way yet to create a simple form to create a new topic (besides Custom Wizard Plugin which is overkill for my use case)
