Reply Template

Theme component

The Reply Template is a theme component and not connected to a topic template.

My suggested plugin would work in conjunction with reply templates.

Yep, got that. I was clarifying on the plugin. Basically, it places the desired reply template in the topic post of all topics in a specific category which has the Journal plugin enabled?

It would be triggered independently of the journal plugin.

Here is my quick and dirty spec sheet:

  • Plugin settings:
    • checkbox: enable ā€œForce reply templateā€ plugin
    • tag picker: enable ā€œForce reply templateā€ for topics with this tag
  • Category settings:
    • checkbox: enable Force reply template in category
  • Condition:
    • If the above conditions are met AND if a reply template is found in first post, THEN enable fill the reply template into the composer after users hits the Reply button
    • Condition does not apply to reply buttons in individual posts

When I click the button when not logged in:

@agligorijevic Are you on the latest version of Discourse, and of the Theme Component?

The component needs an update. I will make a PR.

There is a method to use the reply templates automatically (on specific categories)?

AFAIK there isnā€™t. There are only category templates in core.

I think that this TC does what you are looking for:

Thanks Nat, from what I understand (please correct me if Iā€™m wrong) the propose for this plugin is to change the Placeholder text on topics and -not expected- the text still remains in the textbox.

I tried it, and itā€™s currently not working. If itā€™s updated, it could work as a workaround, for sure!

I believe this component is somewhat broken with the new composer since [wrap] is no longer supported, you get this error if you edit a topic that has used this: Token type ā€˜wrap_openā€™ not supported by Markdown parser

Is there any solution to this for existing topics? Our users often edit topics and this is really going to confuse them. I know you can just go to the Markdown view, but overcoming this is going to be a challenge.

Will this be updated to work with the new composer?

Weā€™re planning to add support for [wrap] tokens in the rich text editor, but it will take us some time to implement this properly. At the moment, we donā€™t have an ETA. Please also keep in mind that the annual Discourse meetup is coming up soon, so many team members will be away, meaning work on this feature will be paused or slowed down over the next few weeks.

Until then, the best option is to switch back to the markdown composer.
