Adding a button to each post

[dwn]

Hey, I feel like I'm missing something but is there currently no method to have a plugin add a button to a post?

partials/topic/post-menu.tpl pulls data from a posts object defined here -- so that's where I guess a filter:posts.build would go, and then we'd add something similar to regFormEntry to the partial.

It feels sorta inefficient to do that for every single post but I guess that's what needs to be done? Am I missing something somewhere?

here's a PR to take care of it--

would also like to be able to add a configurable button to posts.

The loop to add buttons was merged into persona. A similar addition should probably be added to vanilla.

I now add buttons in my plugin via hook filter:post.getPosts and in the hook:

  Plugin.postsBuild = function(params, cb) {
    var histButton = {action: 'posts/edithistory', icon: 'fa-file-text', html: 'Edit History'};

    async.map(params.posts, function(post, next) {
      if(!post) return next();

      if(!!post.tools) {
        post.tools = [];
      }
      post.tools.push(histButton);

    });

    cb(null, params);
  };
