FriendsOfFlarum Mason, the discussion custom fields builder

clarkwinkelmann

Artuu are you talking about your field settings or the tags selector ?

For the field, you either need to allow user values or provide a list of allowed answers, or users won't be able to select or input anything.

For the tag selector, it will only activate if you configured Flarum to require 1 and up to 1 tag in the Tags extension settings.

clarkwinkelmann need class numbering in Mason-Row
for example, so that each line of code is like this

Mason-Row Mason-1
Mason-Row Mason-2
Mason-Row Mason-3

Pirat No need when CSS has the nth child selector.

jordanjay29 I did not know about it 🙂

jordanjay29 how do I move item-flagrow-mason-fields up one <li> ?
Higher than class item-discussionTitle

clarkwinkelmann

Pirat are you looking for a CSS solution or an extension solution ?

CSS might be tricky without flex.

For JS I think there is a method to reorder ListItem elements, but I don't know it by heart.

@clarkwinkelmann Can i pay any developer for making a small feature i see is requested often.
Restrict mason field by tag.

clarkwinkelmann

Tirual you may contact me or another developer to develop this feature as paid work, certainly.

While it may look like a small feature, I expect it to require some important work to add.

clarkwinkelmann

Just tagged version 0.3.1, introducing permissions to restrict view and fill access to Mason fields.

This allows for example:

Limit usage of fields to certain groups only
Allow anyone to fill the fields but only let the administrators see the answers
Show the answers to everyone, but only let moderators/administrators fill them after a discussion has been created

Make sure users have the "see own fields" permission if you also want to let them "edit own fields", otherwise the edit button (and current values!) will not be visible to them.

The Mason permissions were regrouped and moved to their own group on the Permission page.

Thanks to Fardoragh for sponsoring this feature.

PS: I'm working on a solution to allow crowd-funding the tag restriction feature. Will let you know as soon as possible how it will work.

So basically I want that all posts under a certain tag have a field called "abstract" that way the person posting can just copy paste the abstract of the paper he wishes to discuss.

What is the "Field answers" for?

And finally how can I limit the "Validation for user values" for 10 domain names if the answer is a url.

alx under a certain tag

Par-tag fields are not implemented at this point. I will probably offer a crowd-funding for this feature soon but the details are still being worked on.

alx What is the "Field answers" for?

This is the list of pre-made answers you can create. Also if multiple people answered the same thing, you can rename the answer and it will update everywhere it had been used. If the field can be freely filled in, you don't have to create any answer yourself.

You can use a regular expression for the validation. See the Laravel docs for how validation rules are written.

What would be the easiest way to add the answer to the api route? when I go to my forum/api/discussions

I see some data from mason:

flagrowMasonAnswers": { "data": [ { "type": "flagrow-mason-answer", "id": "17" }, { "type": "flagrow-mason-answer", "id": "20" } ] }

I would like to have the answers as well.

clarkwinkelmann

tom-it the Flarum API uses the json:api spec, meaning the relationships reference the type and id, and the actual resource is below in the included payload.

You're trying to get the list of answers for each discussion via the API, is that correct ?

tom-it

clarkwinkelmann Correct

tom-it

clarkwinkelmann I feel so dirty, I've just create a query to fetch this data on the spot.
my mason answers consist of 2 product id's I need it to know if a post already exists with the same answers to redirect the user there instead of making a new post.

select a.*, b.discussion_id, c.slug from flagrow_mason_answers a LEFT JOIN flagrow_mason_discussion_answer b ON b.answer_id = a.id LEFT JOIN discussions c on c.id = b.discussion_id where content = {$prod1} OR content = {$prod2}"

I will need to read some more on getting this done properly the laravel / flarum way.

I like this concept, I just wish that this extension had the option to limit fields to specific tags.
If that was implemented, I would definitely use this extension. 👍️

edit: i only just scrolled up, to clark's post

Hi everybody, I wrote an update to this powerful extension with a feature a lot of people have asked for –

UntrustableRus specific tag ... > Chenzy Gaming tag...

pyxxl I just wish that this extension had the option to limit fields to specific tags.

– the ability to turn fields on/off for specific Tags. It's still very much beta but it works well on my dev installs. Before I do the final polish, though, if anyone needs this feature right away they can grab a copy of my version at Github.

@clarkwinkelmann I forked and renamed it Mason Plus for dev purposes so I could run both versions, but let me know if you want me to submit it as a PR to the original.

At the very least being able to tweak an existing extension has taught me a lot about how Flarum works inside and out. Also, as someone who's asked a lot of questions around here, it's nice to be able to contribute something back to the community. Here's a quick video explaining the new features:

I'm not sure if the two issues are related.

The sortable javascript issue might actually be present since beta 9. We will have to update it similar to what was done in https://github.com/flarum/tags/pull/62

I'll add the incompatible tag for now. We'll need to move this extension to FriendsOfFlarum and update it.

clarkwinkelmann Are you making progressed?
