A [Flarum](http://flarum.org) extension that allows you to create customizable templates for new discussions. Templates can be assigned per tag or set as a default for discussions without tags. Additionally, discussion owners and moderators can set reply templates to guide responses.

> **Note:** This extension is a direct replacement for the abandoned [`askvortsov/flarum-discussion-templates`](https://github.com/askvortsov1/flarum-discussion-templates). Upgrading from the old version is seamless - simply install this new version and your existing templates and settings will be automatically migrated!

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Tag-Based Templates**: Create specific templates for each tag to guide users on what information to include
- **Default Template**: Set a fallback template for discussions created without any tags
- **Reply Templates**: Discussion owners can set templates that appear when users reply to their discussions
- **Permission System**: Granular control over who can manage templates
    - `discussion.manageOwnDiscussionReplyTemplates` - Allow users to manage reply templates on their own discussions
    - `discussion.manageAllReplyTemplates` - Allow users (e.g., moderators) to manage reply templates on any discussion
- **Auto-Insert**: Templates automatically populate the composer when creating new discussions or can append when tags change

```
composer require fof/discussion-templates

```

### Creating a Discussion

[](#creating-a-discussion)

When a user creates a new discussion:

- If a tag is selected and has a template, that template will be inserted into the composer
- If no tags are selected and a default template exists, it will be inserted
- If multiple tags are selected with templates, the primary tag's template takes precedence

### Replying to a Discussion

[](#replying-to-a-discussion)

When a discussion has a reply template set:

- The template will appear in the composer when users click "Reply"
- Users can modify or remove the template as needed before posting

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

- Templates support markdown and BBCode formatting
- The composer preview is not available in the admin area. To preview formatting, create a test discussion in the forum and copy the formatted content
- Templates are automatically inserted when the composer is opened, but users can freely edit or remove them
