A way to configure the archive button text, color, visibility.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Configuring only the text would help as well.

Would love to do this. I'm wondering how we can make this as easy as possible for the user to customize. I'm thinking we could add two optional parameters to /configure autothreading: button-type and button-text, where button-text is just a custom string, and button-type can be red, blue, grey, green and hidden, matching the available types (link does not make sense here):

My only worry is that we will end up lots of parameters on that command in the future making it hard to use. But perhaps we can split the parameters into separate commands at that point :)

Any thoughts on this approach @Madis0? Thank you for the suggestion!

[Madis0]

But perhaps we can split the parameters into separate commands at that point :)

• /configure autothreading channel:#channel enabled:True
• /configure autothreading channel:#channel custom-message:Blabla
• /configure autothreading channel:#channel archive-button text:Blabla
• /configure autothreading channel:#channel archive-button enabled:True
• /configure autothreading channel:#channel archive-button color:red

I would suggest mostly reusing the existing structure, and not expecting a custom-message during the creation, instead split it to a separate command.

Perhaps just providing a better default is fine for now? Thoughts @Madis0?
Something like this:

The archive button seems cleaner, but the commands button I'm not so sure about - what is the purpose of it? What would it do when clicked?

[MarcusOtter]

It does the same as /help, shows the available commands (like /title, /close, etc). Perhaps "available commands" or "all commands" would be better text for the button?

[Madis0]

Yeah, but for the user only /title is usable. So perhaps add a button ✏️ Edit title instead?

Once clicked, it would pre-fill the chatbox with "/title " (if that is possible).

[MarcusOtter]

We cannot control the users' clients unfortunately, so an edit title button would be difficult as we still need text input from them. I figured seeing what the bot can do with /help is good, we can maybe even customize the output of the /help command to only show commands available to them.

The issue for this is #47

[MarcusOtter]

Also it's future-proof if/when we decide to add more commands :)

[Madis0]

Right. In that case - yes, do limit it to the commands user can actually use. And the button could be [/] Commands or [/] Actions.

[MarcusOtter]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll go with Commands to stay consistent with Discord's naming convention :)

I'll leave this issue open since they should probably still be configurable at some point, but making the default better has to be the first step 😄
