Hey Ghassan!
No problem at all, it worked!!
Really appreciate the effort you put in.
We were actually following this because we wanted to enable the new discussions-mfe from here:
Even though we’ve made the author-mfe work, we had some “burning” questions:
- How did you know the names of the patches to work with (eg. openedx-cms-production-settings) in the plugin?
- How did you decide the port number as 4224, was this randomly selected?
- How did you know which waffle flags to create?
- Why did you name it as “author” in config.yml file, could it be anything else?
This is our (rough) roadmap for the discussions mfe based on your post:
- Make a new plugin called “discussions-mfe.py”
- Copy paste your plugin code and replace cms with lms , and “…/authors” with “…/discussions”
- enable discussions-mfe plugin
- rebuild mfe image
- local quickstart (just to be sure)
We really want to make the discussions mfe work (because the original seems straight out of 1995 i.e eye-sore), so we’d really appreciate if you could point us in the right direction.
PS: Thanks for the swift response that too on a Sunday.
