DiscussionsRailModule adds a rail module for Discussions to the rail, listing a feed of discussions posts for the wiki. The script offers the same configuration options.
<div class="discussions-rail-theme"></div>
Installation
Configuration
Embedding-only use
The script can be configured to deactivate the rail module and style the embedded module in articles, by using the window.discussionsModuleEmbed object in your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.js:
window.discussionsModuleEmbed = true;
Positioning
The Discussions rail module is positioned below the Wiki Activity modules when they're available, or appended to the bottom of the rail.
It is possible to adjust the module to any desired position by using the discussionsModule.added hook in your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.js.
For example, this code will position the module above the Insights module.
mw.hook('discussionsModule.added').add(function($module) {
// Module addition
if ($('.insights-module').exists()) {
$module.insertBefore('.insights-module');
} else {
$module.appendTo('#WikiaRail');
}
});
Post-processing
The module's contents can be changed after loading using the discussionsModule.loaded hook.
Styling
The header text is adjustable with the following CSS (replacing <TITLE> with your text):
.discussions-rail-theme .embeddable-discussions-module .embeddable-discussions-heading:after {
content: '<TITLE>';
}
Content filtering
The feed content for the rail module is configured through the optional window.discussionsModuleConfig object, placed in MediaWiki:Common.js:
window.discussionsModuleConfig = {
'size' : 'number 3-6',
'mostrecent' : 'true/false',
'catid' : [
'first category id',
'second category id',
'etc.'
]
}
