Post Badges

[tshenry (Taylor)]

Thanks for bringing that up @Andrew8H! Should be fixed with:

https://github.com/discourse/discourse-post-badges/commit/73d20574bcc1984644f1cf5013967321604fa1a2

For all others - make sure your Discourse site had been updated after 2021-03-17T07:00:00Z before updating this component.

Perfect! Fixed! Splendid support as per usual. Thank you @tshenry

Hi all,

After installing this component, most of the icons on the page disappear and I’m seeing this error in the console.

Uncaught Error: Could not find module @ember/runloop imported from `discourse/initializers/initialize-discourse-post-badges

Is there something else I should be adding/editing? Thanks!

[tshenry (Taylor)]

Hmm, I am not able to reproduce the error. A few things to check on:

• Can you confirm you are running the latest, tests-passed version of Discourse?
• How are the Post Badges component’s theme settings configured?
• Do you have any plugins installed on your site?

[LMiller (Luke Miller)]

Thank you for the quick reply, I’m using Discourse 2.3.2 which looks quite old. On the settings, they are still on defaults. I don’t believe there are any plugins, this was the first component I installed.

It sounds like an upgrade may be needed?

[tshenry (Taylor)]

Yes, 2.3.2 is very old at this point. You will definitely want to upgrade, and for reasons that go well beyond compatibility with this component

@tshenry

For all others - make sure your Discourse site had been updated after March 17, 2021 (Los Angeles) before updating this component.

Ugh. I missed this warning. I’m running Discourse 2.6.3. I’m assuming that came out before March 17, since I lost my custom images. Is there any way for me to downgrade this component?

[tshenry (Taylor)]

Let me add a workaround. Hang tight.

Edit: @jtbayly it should work now if you update the component. Sorry for the trouble! I’ll try to be more careful about backwards compatibility going forward.

[jtbayly]

Thanks much. Worked like a charm.

@tshenry

As it currently stands, this component will make one ajax request per loaded post . This can add up depending on your hosting situation and community size, so please keep that in mind as you consider installing this component. It’s clear that there is a good amount of interest in this feature, so we will be continuing to improve the situation as time permits. Stay tuned

We seem to be getting more 429 errors these days due to this add-on (I can’t put my finger on when that started, but I’d say in the last 2-3 months). Are there still plans to reduce the number of requests?

[tshenry (Taylor)]

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem that time has permitted yet for the core changes that would be required. The priority is probably going to be even lower now that there is a plugin that handles it in a more graceful manner:

paviliondev/discourse-post-badges-plugin

If the component is becoming an issue for your community, I would highly recommend switching over the the plugin if possible.

Sorry to not have better news!

[bartv (Bart)]

I took a look, but the functionality is different from the TC: in the plugin, users can set which badges to show. In the TC, the site admin decides. I’ll see if I can fork it to make it do what I need.

[jtbayly]

That’s my use case as well. Let’s us know if you get it working, please.

[Heliosurge (Dan DeMontmorency)]

How do you setup the plugin? Do you use your theme component?

Ah okay read some later posts where moved to user end.

Thanks for the report, that should be fixed now.

Hello, Great work on this theme component! I also feel that it should be part of the core

I’m curious since there hasn’t been much activity here for a while, would you still recommend using the plugin over the theme component? Is the plugin official / is it well maintained?

Any ideas if this will become a core feature?

Thanks again

@tshenry

Please consider using GitHub - paviliondev/discourse-post-badges-plugin instead of this component.

Is the plugin that @angus created working for anyone? Doesn’t seem to work for me, and it’s still the recommended way to use this. Would be very nice to see this supported by the team in plugin form. Thanks!

[jrgong]

@davidkingham Have you managed to get the plugin running? We are looking into it as well.

[davidkingham]

No, I’ve given up on this unfortunately.
