Discourse Plugin Compability?

[wrapper]

I'm also struggling to get discourse-reactions to work. It loads in but only seems to work on mobile for some reason

Are you still using this plugin? I can't get it to work. Installs but won't let me use my LibreTranslate instance (or more precisely there is no translate button on the frontend under a post)

Hello Cloudron Discourse Users.

Yesterday I took a look at the two plugins.

Reactions

This plugin is throwing a javascript console error:

Uncaught Error: Could not find module `ember-curry-component` imported from `discourse/plugins/discourse-reactions/discourse/components/discourse-reactions-actions`

This might be the cause why it is not fully working.

Translator

This plugin is odd to say the least.
I had it working once with LibreTranslate hosted on the same Cloudron.
But this plugin works in some uncontrollable matter.
After hours of debugging why suddenly in the new installation the translation button is missing, I found the following.
This plugin determines when to show the button and when not my analyzing the currently viewed post / topic.
And if the topic is detected to be not the discourse users locale it should display the translation button.
But this sometimes work and sometimes not and there is no setting to just enable it everywhere.

I guess we should request a "please have it on everywhere as the logic isn't consistent and users often change or obscure their local in various ways" should be added upstream somewhere.

@james I'd LOVE it if you could also have a look at getting this Discourse Events plugin working on Cloudron too https://meta.discourse.org/t/events-plugin/69776

Hello @jdaviescoates
If there is time, I can check it out.
Also, the "user locale" is not the browser user locale but the discourse user locale.
By default, users in discourse can not even choose their locale and have to use the system-wide one.
And by default the system-wide default locale is en.
So if a post is created in German, it should work.
Should, is the keyword here.

FYI @discourse users:
After my work yesterday the discourse-reactions plugin was archived on GitHub.

This repository was archived by the owner on Jul 10, 2025. It is now read-only.

This plugin has now been bundled into Discourse core. See: https://meta.discourse.org/t/bundling-more-popular-plugins-with-discourse-core/373574

So best to uninstall the plugin.

Hi @james

Do you suggest uninstalling all manually added plugins which will be bundled in the coming Discourse v3.5 ? To do so, I guess one has to delete the repo and rebuild the app ?

[james]

Hello @mononym
I am not an expert in Discourse, I would have to investigate what Discourse is recommending upstream.

[mononym]

No worries @james

For now, I just deleted the plugin repo of data-exporer, the only plugin I had which is has now been included into the v3.5. I did this proactively and let Discourse on v3.4 for now. On a day with more time, I'll upgrade to v3.5 and see if my saved queries still exist.

Data-explorer is not a "front-end" change, so there's no requirement for a seamless transition. IDK how I would have done it for the calendar, solve etc. plugins.

[mononym]

@james update to v3.5 went fine and the personal queries from the data-explorer plugin where still in place.

I now only get the notice

[Admin Notice] Plugin 'discourse-translator' contains code which needs updating. (id:discourse.post-stream-widget-overrides) (learn more)

And will have to find out again how to manually update a plugin.
