  • FriendsOfFlarum Mason, the discussion custom fields builder

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.

      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.

        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.

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

          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.

                  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 ?

                      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

                        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'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.
