Requesting an event

garymardell · August 2009

In the file helper_functions.php for vanilla in the function WriteDiscussion()
Can you include the event

$Sender->FireEvent('DiscussionMeta');
on line 94


<li class="Meta">
         <?php
            echo '<span>';
            echo sprintf(Plural($Discussion->CountComments, '%s comment', '%s comments'), $Discussion->CountComments);
            echo '</span>';
            if ($CountUnreadComments > 0 && $Session->IsValid())
               echo '<strong>',sprintf(Gdn::Translate('%s new'), $CountUnreadComments),'</strong>';
               
            echo '<span>';
            printf(Gdn::Translate('Most recent by %1$s %2$s'), UserAnchor($Discussion->LastName), Format::Date($Discussion->LastDate));
            echo '</span>';

            echo Anchor($Discussion->Category, '/categories/'.urlencode($Discussion->Category), 'Category');
            
            $Sender->FireEvent('DiscussionMeta');
         ?>
      </li>

Also i need the ability to add something above a thread. So below the General . Requesting and event header. I need to put something below it. It would seem an easy way to do this would be to allow a module to be placed here.

Adding
<?php $this->RenderAsset('DiscussionTop'); ?>
on line 24 of Vanilla/views/discussion/index.php would be perfect. Call it what you like though.

Can you show me more of where you placed it? Before the ul or after?

garymardell · August 2009

Before the UL.


<?php
   echo $this->Pager->ToString('less');
?>

<?php $this->RenderAsset('DiscussionTop'); ?>

<ul id="Discussion">
   <?php echo $this->FetchView('comments'); ?>
</ul>

Just pushed these to master. I called the asset container "DiscussionBefore"

In vanilla/views/post/discussion.php need something like AfterFormButtons

47:          echo $this->Form->Button('Save Draft');
48:       }
49:       
50:       echo $this->Form->Button('Preview');
51:       $this->FireEvent('AfterFormButtons'); // <<< it's here
52:       
53:       echo Anchor('Cancel', $CancelUrl, 'Cancel');
54:       echo $this->Form->Close();
55:    ?>

And in vanilla/views/post/comment.php in same place.
