RichardLo luceos thanks for your quick reply! 🙂 Is there no way to change the name? I like this extension. I think its also the only one with this functionality of posting without registration?!
RichardLo Found a solution 🙂 With FoF Linguist I changed the string "core.lib.username.deleted_text". Now the name of an unknown user is different.
ernestdefoe I see this extension is no longer available on Extiverse. Is this on purpose or what? I was going to be getting it in the next few days.
luceos ernestdefoe pending a response from the extension author I've hidden it. I don't want to offer extensions that aren't receiving the level of support expected of a premium extension.
luceos ernestdefoe extension has been restored after having chatted with the author, please forward any support requests to daniel <at> overview.co.il.
ernestdefoe luceos oh I don’t blame you on that. Makes a lot of sense to not allow a purchase if the author of the extension isn’t gonna support it.
danielunited I apologize for not being available here recently. As @luceos has mentioned, if you need help with the extension please ping me at daniel@overview.co.il
ernestdefoe @danielunited there seems to be an issue with this extension and the rich text extension.
ernestdefoe danielunited well I disabled the rich text extension made a post and it never showed up even though it showed there was a reply to the post. I have it set where guest posts don’t require approval. So not sure what’s up with that. I am using the Redis queue so I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. Also when the rich text extension is enabled other than not being able to type anything and no editor buttons you can't hit the x and close the editor out it just stays there.
danielunited ernestdefoe Please email me screenshots + your community details so I can investigate throughly.
ernestdefoe danielunited will get on that later today. Thank you. Edit: sent you an email with the link to my community you don’t really need screenshots as you’ll be able to experience the issues live.
ernestdefoe danielunited Still hoping you find a solution soon to this not working with the rich text extension. Having the ability to just copy from one site and copy to mine and keeping the formatting is pretty important.
luceos The owner of this code has made this extension free to the public, see https://packagist.org/packages/convo-extensions/flarum-ext-guest-posting You can install it without a subscription now using composer require convo-extensions/flarum-ext-guest-posting. Considering previous questions have gone unanswered, this will open up avenues for others to fix problems in the spirit of FOSS.
clarkwinkelmann Great to see it open-sourced! It's an extension I have often wished I could point developers towards. I originally delivered this extension with a package name of kilowhat/guest-posting, and Daniel U. later renamed it. Now that I can look at the source I realize some features might have been lost or broken in the rename because there are still leftovers from the old name. For instance this line convo-extensions/flarum-ext-guest-postingblob/1.1.1/src/Formatter/ConfigureMentions.php#L23 should have kilowhat-guest-posting updated to convo-extensions-guest-posting to make the mention previews work as originally intended. This might even be throwing javascript errors if not fixed.
ernestdefoe clarkwinkelmann well now that it’s been open sourced maybe someone can actually make it work now. What I mean by that is maybe a developer can fix the code so it’ll actually work cause I’ve tried multiple times and never could get it to work.
luceos The packagist license still incorrectly mentions proprietary, the license file itself was updated to a gpl version already.
