Hello,

I'm trying to create a plugin that shows the group badge next to the username on the topic list. It's very similar to this, but on the topic list.

Thank you in advance!

@baris can't seem to access 'topic' under posts. Can you tell me what's wrong with me code?

myPlugin.filterGroupsDetailsBuild = async (hookData) => {
  const pids = hookData.templateData.posts.map(t => t.pid);
  const getTopic = await topics.getUnreadData(pids);
  hookData.templateData.posts.forEach((t, i) => {
      t.foobar = getTopic[i];
  });
  return hookData;
};

@baris Awesome! Giving this a shot now!

@baris is it correct that I should listening for filter:post.getPostSummaryByPids to have access to the posts > topic located in groups?

@baris similar to topics list in category view, when there is a new topic that you haven't read, the color of the font shows blue (depending on your theme). All read topics are in black. I believe there is a logic somewhere that adds an 'unread' class to the element that changes the color of the font, but I don't know if this is possible to the posts/topics found in the group page.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think nodebb supports read/unread logic in groups out of the box. Is it possible to add this via plugin ?

@baris I had to update to 1.14.x to get access to getSortedSetMember. I didn't know that this method was new. Also, I had to use a different method for flat() since I'm on the older version of node locally.

Thank you once again for all your help!

@baris thank you! I think we're very close. When I call postedInByDeveloper in my template {topics.postedInByDeveloper} I get an [object Promise] in view.

I also tried making an api call in the console to check the object and found that postedInByDeveloper is empty. See screenshot below.

@baris thank you for your suggestion. I can get the posters now, but I'm not able to get their groups. Here's my code. Can you tell me what I'm missing here?

var db = require.main.require('./src/database');

theme.filterTopicsGetDevActivity = async function(hookData) {
  hookData.topics.forEach((t, i) => {
    db.getSortedSetRange('tid:' + t.tid + ':posters', 0, -1, function (err, uids) {
      t.foobar = uids;
    });
  });
  return hookData;
}

Here's my hook:

{
  "hook": "filter:topics.get",
  "method": "filterTopicsGetDevActivity"
 }

My template:

<!-- IF topics.foobar.length -->
  <!-- BEGIN topics.foobar -->
    {topics.foobar}
  <!-- END topics.foobar -->
<!-- ENDIF topics.foobar.length -->

I tried using {topics.foobar.groups.slug} to display the group name, but the object becomes empty.

@baris great! I'll give this one a shot!

@baris Thank you for this. I can now see the groups variable for users listed on the topics page. I do have a follow up question. Is there a way for us to access all posts (including users) in a topic from the topics page? Our goal is to dynamically place a badge under the topic title to indicate that a dev had posted/replied in the topic.
