openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Discord: support category-level channel config in guild allowlist [1 participants]

TL;DR

Support for category IDs in the channels block is needed to apply settings to all channels under a Discord category without manual configuration.

Guidance

• Consider modifying the channels.discord.guilds.<id>.channels configuration to accept category IDs in addition to individual channel IDs.
• Evaluate the proposed solution of using a category:<id> syntax to apply settings to all child channels of a category.
• Investigate the feasibility of implementing inherited settings for child channels, ensuring that new channels created under a category automatically inherit the category's config.
• Review the alternatives considered, such as guild-level requireMention or manual channel ID management, to determine the best approach for the specific use case.

Example

{
  channels: {
    discord: {
      guilds: {
        "123456789012345678": {
          requireMention: true,
          channels: {
            "category:222222222222222222": { allow: true, requireMention: false },
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

Notes

The implementation of category ID support may require changes to the underlying configuration parsing and validation logic. Additionally, consideration should be given to handling cases where a channel is moved from one category to another.

Recommendation

Apply the proposed workaround of using an external script to poll guild channels and update the config, as implementing native support for category IDs may require significant changes to the existing configuration system. This approach allows for a temporary solution while a more permanent fix is developed.
