Flagrow Direct Links, links for login and new discussion

clarkwinkelmann

Direct Links by Flagrow, a project of Gravure

This extension adds direct links to various Flarum actions:

/login will redirect to homepage and open the Log In modal
/signup will redirect to homepage and open the Sign Up modal
/composer will redirect to homepage and open the new discussion composer box

Additionally, you can pass ?title=, ?content= and ?tag=slug parameters to /composer to define the default values in the editor.
Useful for share features or bookmarklets.

If you hit /composer while logged out, you will be prompted for login.
If the user does anything else than log in (close the modal or register) it's possible the values in the url get lost.
The user will have to load the original /composer url again to get those values back.

Installation

Use Bazaar or install manually:

composer require flagrow/direct-links

Updating

composer update flagrow/direct-links
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

clarkwinkelmann It's like you can read my mind, 2 of your extensions were made like a month after I wanted them, now users can sign up from my main site without having the trouble of the other extension that transferred users to have to make an account and transfer it to the forum. Thanks!

clarkwinkelmann Because I want to crawl the content of other websites and post to my own website, I need a path, and I have no solution yet.

Interesting extension, but can't have this need at my forum at the moment.

Good work ?

Amazing! Thank you! One could really go crazy with this extension and create some type of really organized, really easy to use support forum, or regular forum. In other words, imagine a forum where people rarely have to manually pick tags because there's a posting menu where you just click a category, and the post box comes up all filled out, mostly. I don't plan on doing that completely, but, I will be creating at least one or two direct links that will start a post for someone.

Glad you all like this extension !

I just want to make sure, you're aware Flarum already automatically fills the tag if you start a new discussion while browsing the tag, right ? Obviously it's not one click from the home page, but it's one click if you're already on the right tag ?

Ah! Loved it. ❤

Great extension, was struggling trying to find a extension like this few months ago.

clarkwinkelmann No, I didn’t realize that. I’m very new to Flarum. Still this extension is neat!

Any idea why /login might fail? I have a 404 page setup you can see here. I've successfully linked from there to the signup modal, but the link to the login modal returns a 403 Forbidden. Any insights? Thanks!

clarkwinkelmann

UaMV I suppose you have a rule in your webserver configuration somewhere that prevents access to that url. I don't see where the Access Denied could come from.

If the extension wasn't working, you'd get a "Method Not Allowed" error (with a base Flarum install)

If you call m.route('/login') in the console from the homepage, it works, so this means the extension correctly registered the url, at least on the client side.

Or maybe there's another extension registering that route as well. If you don't find anything in your webserver preventing the access, could you open an issue on our bug tracker with the output of php flarum info ? You could also try disabling all other extensions to see if that fixes it.

Is it possible to have this add multiple tags? I can add ?tag=slug to the url and it works great. But, ideally I want to add a couple different tags.

clarkwinkelmann

010101 if you pass the slug of a second-level tag, the first level tag will be added as well.

There's currently no option to manually specify multiple tags. Feel free to open an issue on GitHub to track the suggestion.

I didn't implement it with the first version because 1) it's a bit more complicated and 2) you could create default selections that don't match your Flarum settings, possibly causing issues with the tag selection modal...

This is simply brilliant. Thank you for this

clarkwinkelmann Got it. That's cool. I don't think it's a deal breaker.

clarkwinkelmann

Alshain no need to ask in every single place... Anyway that "mystery" is now solved via Discord.

For those who wanted to check out the beta 8 source code of the extension, you had to go through the tag because it was not correctly pushed to the master branch. I've corrected that and master now shows the latest beta 8 code as it should have.

clarkwinkelmann Ralkage Whoopsies, didn't register that this was compatible now. Fixed. 😃

Ralkage

@jordanjay29 can we get the incompatible tag removed now that this has been updated to beta 8? (or rather properly tagged 😉 @clarkwinkelmann ) 🤗

clarkwinkelmann

jordanjay29 Yep I think I forgot to post here when it was updated. The issue I mentioned above was just on GitHub in master branch view, the extension was in fact compatible and could be installed in beta 8 since December 😇
