How to open composer via clientside script and add category & tags

[dogs]

Hey! I called and opened the composer via GET-Params:

https://nodebb.development.fail/recent?discord=question&tags=javascript,jquery,get,request

URL is valid, so feel free to test it
Open Composer

---

• ?discord=question defines category questions
• &tags=javascript,jquery,get,request tags added to composer as well -> javascript, jquery, get, request

---

So: composer is opening automatically if:

• ?discord=question is available. Also the category Questions is selected automatically. And tag list:
• javascript,jquery,get,request should also be added automatically.

---

But theres ohne thing: I dont have a question actually.

Bye Bye

Prototype and Test-Code:

$(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(event, data) {

    var urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search); //get all parameters
    var discord = urlParams.get('discord');
    
    var tags = [];
    
    if(tags = urlParams.get('tags')){
        tags = urlParams.get('tags').split(",");
    }
    
    
    
    if(discord){
        var cid;
        
        if(discord == "question"){
            cid = 1;
            app.newTopic(cid, tags);
        }
        
        if(discord == "tutorial"){
            cid = 2;
            app.newTopic(cid, tags);
        }
        
        if(discord == "showroom"){
            cid = 4;
            app.newTopic(cid, tags);
        }
        
        if(discord == "talk"){
            cid = 3;
            app.newTopic(cid, tags);
        }
    }
	
});

To open composer use:

• app.newTopic();

To define category or tags use params of function:

• app.newTopic(cid, tags);
  ->
  app.newTopic(1, ["javascript", "jquery", "get", "request"]);

You can also use this snippet to add additional buttons to create new topic on specific category or tags.

@dogs what does discord have to do with it? I tried using that link with different values and URL of course on my site, still didn't work. I'm sure it works for you, what am I missing?

@dunlix @dogs I see that I am dumb. I should have read whole post before replying, Lol. I need to add custom JS when I will use this.

@dunlix yeah you should!

To be honest: Nothing.

I am building a plugin for Discord integration..So the variable names are just placeholders if you want so.

The important part is at the end of my main post.

I hope that you find a slick way to use it for your community maybe.
