Hello everyone,
Two years ago, I’ve called a developper for a client to create a theme component allowing a forum to create an custom ad between posts. The ad takes the form of a discourse post.
The ads, name and avatars are customable, we can define on what categories they’re shown, what ranks should see them, etc.
Basically, the ad works like this,
> 
And the admin part looks like this
> 
Anyway, it worked perfectly until last year (around this time : [Commits · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/main/?since=2023-09-01&until=2023-09-16)). The ads is still shown but the html doesn’t work anymore.
> 
Sadly the dev is not available anymore so I come to you about this.
I can’t share publicly the code but of course it will be shared to the developper willing to take the project or at least work
If you need a little bit more info about the theme component, how it works, feel free to ask me
**What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?**
I know the budget is not that high, we hope we can work on a 120$ budget.
Of course, I can share the code with a dev to see if it can be done in this budget.

Did you try rebuilding the HTML for the post?

Plugin or theme component?

Theme component, it was a plugin in a first version but remade into a TC, my bad.

They aren’t real post, I don’t know how to best describe it, they are more like auto-generated placeholders, they don’t have any discourse option to like, quote, edit or rebuild.

~~May need to share the git repo if it has one~~ at least if you go with market help in a pm to keep it private.
There have been a lot changes in core. So #Marketplace is likely your best place to ask. Depending on the DeV and the amount of work required to update the component might not be a big expense. The plus the DeV may even give an idea how long they might be willing to keep it updated to help prevent future breakage.
One thing I see that maybe related if my understanding is correct. One of the changes is moving from ember component? To glimmer components - but that is fairly recent.

The adplugin templates may give an idea on html/css maybe.

@Arkshine did a great job, the theme component works again.
