FriendsOfFlarum Mason, the discussion custom fields builder

alx

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

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.

Cathas9lives

clarkwinkelmann Are you making progressed?

clarkwinkelmann

Cathas9lives not so far. That's a significant amount of work and I've not had enough free time yet 🙃

Cathas9lives

clarkwinkelmann Could you tell me how to fix the sortable javascript issue in beta 9？

clarkwinkelmann

Cathas9lives it requires development. If you wish to submit a PR you can see how it was updated in Tags or Terms.

Love this, thanks @clarkwinkelmann.

Is there scope for an option to place the fields below the first post, rather than at the top?

clarkwinkelmann

troymccann you mean on the discussion page, not in the discussion composer ?

It should be doable because the code is already inserting into the post body anyway https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/mason/blob/master/js/src/forum/addFieldsOnDiscussionPost.js

But I think you might also be able to achieve it with some custom CSS.

Not sure if it's worth an addition to the extension. But you can of course fork and make your changes.

How can we specialize a mason field for a special tag?

For example;

When user opened a post in Gaming tag, mason will ask him/her for "In-game Username". However, in other tags there is no field will show as "In-game Username"

@clarkwinkelmann

clarkwinkelmann

Chenzy there's no such feature at this time.

There was some talk to crowd-fund its development but I didn't have much time to look into it the last few months.

Chenzy

It would be very nice to create god tier community @clarkwinkelmann

If you want to improve it one day. Please let me know about it. 😄
