Hello, I would like to add a board (forum/questions etc) for my registered users (saas built on wave 3) to allow them to ask questions, post opinions and suggest new features for our saas. I have seen Chatter (from same team here) but it looks older and not sure if it could work. Are there any suggestions for a laravel package that could offer a path of least resistance for a SaaS built on Wave v3? Thanks!

Hi there,

The best way is probably to use the discussions plugin here:

https://devdojo.com/wave/plugins

Indeed Chatter is no longer supported.

I was wondering if I buy Pro and add this plugin (or a theme) to a Wave site would I be able to keep it in case I later cancel the Pro monthly subscription? Thanks

Yes, you can cancel at any time.

Thank you for your response. I purchased and I was wondering if there is any specific guidance on installing on an existing project (with Wave) - bc the instructions mention they are for new Laravel application.

And laravel-frontend-presets/tall also mentions fresh Laravel application.

My project makes use of custom auth pages. And has some changes/additions on resources/themes/anchor/assets/css/app.css (among other changes)

Any help/guidance/attention points appreciated! Thanks

Hey!

Have you tried following the steps from the plugins docs here:

https://devdojo.com/wave/docs/features/plugins

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks, the installation as a plugin went ok and it is working right out of the box (I had to create a www-data owned file at resources/plugins/installed.json with contents [] -not sure if it was there and i had deleted it at some point)

There are some design issues when clicking on New Discussion likely due to the create modal being bottom valigned and not allowing scroll (so categories bottom overflow and not shown).

I was wondering do we have to to follow the README.md at all (npm installs, additions to app.js and tailwind.config.js) or just tweak the design to fix?
