Labels on global post page
We have a global "Start a discussion" button which is contextual based on community context, but in most places, it just points to: /t5/forums/postpage/choose-node/true/interaction-style/forum We'd like the label picker to show up on that form in all cases, but I guess when there's no board already chosen for the post, the platform doesn't know which set of label rules to use. Is there a clever way to have the label picker show up after a board is picked? Is this something Lithium PS would have to help with?99Views0likes1CommentSwitching from Studio to Plugin Developer
After DougS presented the new Plugin Developer framework at LiNC '14, we've been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to streamline our development efforts. We're in a good place now to make the switch, but according to the documentation, Studio edits take precedence over Plugin Developer edits, and we've customized pretty much everything. So what's the process for switching from all-Studio customization to mostly-Plugin Developer customization for an existing environment, mid-stream? Is it just a matter of having someone move some files on the back end? Or is there something we can do on our own to make this work? Or am I misunderstanding this completely? We don't have the Plugin Developer enabled, so I haven't been able to actually test it out, yet, though hopefully soon.

Also, if you're going to stick this script in the wrapper header, you might want to wrap it with something like the following: <#if page.name == "ForumPage"> <script> ... </script> </#if> So it doesn't execute on every single page on the site. Cheers, Tyson407Views1like12CommentsRe: Show Icon on thread resonse or created by specific role
You're on the right track putting your script in the wrapper Page Head Content, though there are several other ways of including script blocks, depending on your preference. Previous advice is sound, though you can probably simplify this one a bit. You might leave the CSS rule which hides the icons, then just turn on the ones for the roles you want -- assuming you have far fewer Admin and Support users here than ordinary users -- which you should be able to select like so: <script type="text/javascript"> (function($){ $(document).ready(function() { $('.lia-user-rank-icon-left[title="DigitalPlatforms Support"], .lia-user-rank-icon-left[title="Administrator"]').show(); }); })(LITHIUM.jQuery); </script> I've wrapped this in a doc.ready so it won't execute until all of the elements in question are loaded. You could substitute Lithium versions of the <script> and doc.ready bits, though that's really not necessary if you're executing this in your wrapper header.

I have a vague recollection of some of these slim/wide components morphing depending on how much width is actually available to them on your page. Lithium can probably confirm or deny that. I also recall that I've used CSS to hide extra columns I don't want in these widgets, so I'll endorse that solution, too. :smileyhappy: Cheers, Tyson395Views0likes0CommentsRe: Do we have any API to directly download attachment from a particular message?
Hi Dhiraj, Each <attachment> returned by the API call you mentioned has a <url> field, which you should be able to use to download the attachment, no? You can also do this RESTfully like so: [community base URL]/restapi/vc/messages /id /[msgId] /uploads/attachments/id/[attachmentId]/url (wrapped for forums display) Cheers, Tyson90Views0likes1Comment
