## AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around the SetUpComponent not being called for a topic list tags plugin outlet. [net_deamon](/t/-/58358/1) initially tried to add a plugin outlet for topic list tags, but was unable to get the corresponding js.es6 file to work. [tgxworld](/t/-/58358/2) pointed out that the `topic-list-tags` plugin outlet has been removed and suggested using the `plugin-api` instead.

[net_deamon](/t/-/58358/3) then tried using the `topic-list-after-title` plugin outlet and was able to view test text, but the SetUpComponent was not called. The js.es6 file was located at `my-plugin/javascripts/discourse/connectors/topic-list-after-title/test-topic-list-after-title.js.es6`, which should have triggered the SetUpComponent.

[spirobel](/t/-/58358/4) shared that they are experiencing the same issue and has not found a solution. They provided a link to a related discussion on adding computed properties to raw hbs outlets.

If I add a plugin outlet in list item,  
`ie <plugin name>/assests/javascripts/discourse/templates/list/connectors/topic-list-tags/<unique name>.raw.hbs`

Where should I add the js.es6 file for this outlet?

I tried it in following location, but it didnt work

`ie <plugin name>/assests/javascripts/discourse/list/connectors/topic-list-tags/<unique-name>.js.es6`

```
export default {
  setupComponent(args, component) {
....
  }
}

```

The `topic-list-tags` plugin outlet has been removed in

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/f918951d42234790938da442a768c2bf80f87069](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/f918951d42234790938da442a768c2bf80f87069)

I believe you can add tags to the list via the `plugin-api`

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/plugin-api.js.es6#L394-L410](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/plugin-api.js.es6#L394-L410)

Thanks for your reply. I see there is another plugin outlet “topic-list-after-title”.  
I added the raw.hbs file in the “topic-list-after-title” folder. I added some test text in the raw.hbs file, and I was able to view the same in the discourse site.

[But as mentioned here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/important-changes-to-plugin-outlets-for-ember-2-10/54136) , if we add corresponding js.es6 file and

```
export default {
  setupComponent(args, component) {
    component.set('today', new Date());
  }
}

```

the setUpComponent will be called before rending the hbs connector file.

But in my case, I am able to view the text, but the above function is not called.

raw.hbs file location : my-plugin/javascripts/discourse/templates/connectors/topic-list-after-title/test-topic-list-after-title.raw.hbs

js.es6 file location : my-plugin/javascripts/discourse/connectors/topic-list-after-title/test-topic-list-after-title.js.es6

Ich habe das gleiche Problem. Hast du eine Lösung gefunden?
