Customizing status icons for community posts



Edited Jun 21, 2024

Hi all, once a post has a status - is it possible to create a feed which shows all posts which have a certain status?

EG - create a feed of the latest posts marked "answered"

Also - is there any progress on making this an actual feature? We need more statuses than the ones available by default, and we desperately need to be able to do things like change their names and colours.

Want to continue this thread - I would also love the answer to both of @...'s questions! Thank you.

Hi @... and @... - yes you can filter on answered (or other statuses) on the topic page. For example, this link shows you the answered Gather feedback posts.

Thanks for this article and all the useful comments - I've been able to update everything with the new label text except I have the below 2 issues/questions.

1. How do I update the below area where you can search/toggle on Post status here:

It seems it was discussed in the thread but I didn't find a solution unless I missed.  I tried adding to the js the below but it didn't work:

$('.topic-filters .dropdown-toggle:contains("None")').text('None');
$('.topic-filters .dropdown-toggle:contains("Planned")').text('Planned');
$('.topic-filters .dropdown-toggle:contains("Not Planned")').text('Not Planned');
$('.topic-filters .dropdown-toggle:contains("Completed")').text('Completed/Answered');
$('.topic-filters .dropdown-toggle:contains("Answered")').text('Community Conversation');

2.  I updated the pick list for agents in the post using the below js and it works for my access (admin) but other users (full agents, light agents) still see the old values.  

$('.post-actions .dropdown-menu :nth-child(2)').text('None');
$('.post-actions .dropdown-menu :nth-child(3)').text('Planned');
$('.post-actions .dropdown-menu :nth-child(4)').text('Not Planned');
$('.post-actions .dropdown-menu :nth-child(5)').text('Completed/Answered');
$('.post-actions .dropdown-menu :nth-child(6)').text('Community Conversation');

Is there something more I need to do so these statuses will also appear in the dropdown for agents?

Any help is super appreciated!

Hi all,

I am also having the same issue as Jessica - Did anyone get the JS to work for the status change drop-down for agents/admins?

Thanks.

Hi @...

Regarding the "Show all" filter labels, the article explains this in the section "Modifying 'Show all'".

Regarding the post actions, these are not customizable.

Kasper - thanks for confirming the post actions are not customizable.

In regards to the 'Show All' I've updated the community_topic_page.hbs as described in the "Modifying 'Show all" section of the article.  I see that if I open a specific community topic and do the 'show all' dropdown the newly configured options are there correctly:

However, they're not if I go to the main Community page (i.e. /community/topics), then toggle the 'All Community Topics' dropdown to 'show all posts' (i.e. community/posts):

 

The 'Show All' options under the All Community Posts still show the old values:

Is there another place I'm missing?  Thanks so much for the help!

Hi Jessica Peck

Ah I see. I think that's simply because you need to apply the same change to the community_post_list_page.hbs template. Like the community_topic_page.hbs template, it has a part that configures the available filter options.

Hi @...

I have the below configured in the community_topic_page.hbs and it's still not displaying the updated values in that dropdown - is there someplace else I'm missing?

Thanks so much!

Hi Jessica Peck

Here's a simple example I did to do a test that customizing it works:

{{#each filters}}
<a href="{{url}}" aria-selected="{{selected}}" role="menuitem">
{{#is identifier "not_planned"}}HELLO WORLD
{{else}}{{name}}
{{/is}}
</a>
{{/each}}

And it looks like this in the drop down:

Maybe start simple like this example, and then expand it out

Not sure if this applies to this topic but this is where support directed me to post... I'm trying to change the color of the gear icon in the posts anyone have any ideas how to accomplish that?

Thanks

Hey Aaron Dillingham

You might have to straight up replace the image, but this may point you in the right direction: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4408860916634-Added-an-Icon-to-my-Categories-with-Copenhague-theme-Now-I-want-a-Hover-Color-just-for-that-icon- 

Hope this helps!

@Aaron Dillingham, I also wanna give suggestion :b

If you add the given code to your style.css file then your gear icon color would be changed:

button[aria-label="Post actions"] {
  color: red
}

Screenshot for the same:

 

 

Output:



 

Thanks

I followed the instructions on this page and I can't seem to get the filter label itself to match the wording of the new status that has been selected.

Example here: 

- selected is 'currently releasing' 

- the button label itself is displaying 'show not planned'

Is someone able to direct me to what I am missing from this article?

Hi Jessica Peck

I am interested to know where/how you applied the JS code to change the Admin options for setting the status as you coded here. I've done everything else but interested in changing the Admin options .

$('.post-actions .dropdown-menu :nth-child(2)').text('None');
$('.post-actions .dropdown-menu :nth-child(3)').text('Planned');
$('.post-actions .dropdown-menu :nth-child(4)').text('Not Planned');
$('.post-actions .dropdown-menu :nth-child(5)').text('Completed/Answered');
$('.post-actions .dropdown-menu :nth-child(6)').text('Community Conversation');

Hi Jason, I was able to successfully use that JS code at the end of the script.js to change the post action labels in the gear dropdown for users with the role of 'admin':

However, when a normal agent (light agent or full agent) uses the dropdown it still shows the old labels. 

@Kasper Sorensen is that still true that we can't customize the post-actions in the CSS so the update values also appear for full agents - do the updated post labels only appear for admins?

Can you add a Status value?
