This is probably a dumb question, but my slight OCD is kicking in. I created a plugin but only the first word of the name is capitalized. I looked at a few other plugin.rb files and don’t see any capitalized words in there or in /config/settings.yml either. Is there another file I need to create …

You can probably do this with CSS. You can target the plugin name element and use text-transform: capitalize. This will make the words in captitals. [I’m on mobile right now so I can’t check the element]

That would fix it on my site, but if you install my plugin, it would still be broken on your site. I’m looking for a solution to adjust the plugin itself, I don’t think other plugins are using CSS to achieve this.

Hmm… I have some sort of an idea on why this happens, but to be sure, can I know what plugin has this problem?

I built a custom plugin. I’d like to eventually share it with the community, but I’d like to fix at least this one thing that’s giving me Forrest Whitacre eye before I do so.

Is it possible to send your yml file for the settings, or the locale file? Thanks.

[이미지] tknospdr: it would still be broken on your site Well, if I install your plugin and every word is captilized, from my, and majority of the world, point of view your plugin is broken that way. You can’t win. You have to choose if you want to do how you want or how most of the globe works…

[이미지] tknospdr: I looked at a few other plugin.rb files and don’t see any capitalized words in there or in /config/settings.yml either. This is a hint :wink: Discourse plugin names and settings are lowercase as a convention.

I wasn’t sure what the current convention was for the name displayed on the /plugins page. There seems to be a mix of sentence and title case for different ones (eg Data explorer v Documentation Categories)

If this is about the display name, this is how it works. If your plugin has metadata # name: discourse-foo-bar in plugin.rb, Then the plugin will be shown as “Foo bar” But you can override this in locales/client.XX.yml en: admin_js: admin: site_settings: categories: …

키가 auto_remove_group인데, plugin.rb의 #name은 discourse-auto-remove-group입니다.

키 앞에 discourse_ 접두사를 붙여 보세요.
