I need to do little changes to some views: Eg: change the datetime format to extended one (DD/MM/YYY HH:MM) [Screenshot 2024-02-28 at 12.14.36] add a tooltip to long category titles [Screenshot 2024-02-28 at 12.21.37] view long category titles on two rows [Screenshot 2024-02-28 at 12.21…

No, plugins are only required if you intend to change the back-end. If it’s just a local change you can go to Admin → Customize → Theme and enter changes into a new Theme Component, then add it to your current Theme. Take a look at theme developers - Discourse Meta , especially: [Bild…

thanks! So if I need to change a label or add a tooltip I need to create a theme but if I need to add a new column to a page (eg: the topic list) I need to create a plugin?

The distinction is this: If you need to change the API, e.g. any data in .json route, changes to authorisation, back-end processing of data, you need a plugin For many front end changes that don’t need different data, you only need a TC. ie a lot of presentational changes, or any logic in javasc…

And a gray area (which doesn’t apply here, I think) is if you need data that is not available (like user custom fields) you could either use AJAX to pull that data with javascript when you need it, or have a plugin that adds the data to the serializer.

ok thanks. In the guide I don’t undestand how can I setuo and import a TC locally, there’s only an example for a remote one.

I would suggest using this wonderful tool, to create TC easily locally: [Bild] Install the Discourse Theme CLI console app to help you build themes Developer Guides The [discourse] Discourse Theme CLI is a ruby gem that allows you to use your editor of choice …

Unless you have a very small CSS change, I’d recommend using a remote theme or the CLI tool. But if you click the “install theme” dialog will allow you to create a theme (or theme component if you do it on the component page)

inside the category topics list I need to add a new column with the “created_at” column and change the date from “tiny” to extended (eg: DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM)

If you want to add new stuff to a template, I would start with GitHub - discourse/discourse-theme-skeleton: Template for Discourse themes , but I don’t know how to go about adding a column there. I guess there’s some javascript magic you could do, but that’s not my wheelhouse. You know that you can…

[Bild] Jay Pfaffman: but there’s no plugin outlet there. You have these plugin outlets: topic-list-after-columns and topic-list-header-after. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/raw-templates/list/topic-list-item.hbr#L90 https://github.com/d…

Wann sollte man ein Plugin oder eine Theme-Komponente verwenden?

Ich würde vorschlagen, dieses wunderbare Werkzeug zu verwenden, um TC einfach lokal zu erstellen:
