Using Follow API to intergrate with existing site feature

Shauny · March 27, 2024, 3:54pm

I already have “following” set up on my site (using WordPress and Ultimate Member), is there an API for this so I can integrate the two?

You can probably work it out from here (if in doubt, always look at the source code! ):

github.com

discourse/discourse-follow/blob/2cfa8ae280f527188e12a3c7d7c5da2dcfa5370c/plugin.rb#L20


      
          enabled_site_setting :discourse_follow_enabled
          
          register_asset "stylesheets/common/follow.scss"
          
          register_svg_icon "discourse-follow-new-reply"
          register_svg_icon "discourse-follow-new-follower"
          register_svg_icon "discourse-follow-new-topic"
          
          load File.expand_path("../lib/follow/engine.rb", __FILE__)
          
          Discourse::Application.routes.append do
            mount ::Follow::Engine, at: "follow"
            %w[users u].each_with_index do |root_path, index|
              get "#{root_path}/:username/follow" => "follow/follow#index",
                  :constraints => {
                    username: RouteFormat.username,
                  }
              get "#{root_path}/:username/follow/feed" => "follow/follow#index",
                  :constraints => {
                    username: RouteFormat.username,
                  }

(btw, should that “follow” be a GET?! But on that subject, fun debate here )
