Problem on installation using juju: What is the public address of Discourse


Syncing the editor viewport scroll

Jeff Atwood wrote:

I've checked how they do synced scrolling in Ghost and it turns out that it is extremely simple - they just keep the relative position of both panes in sync, i.e. if the source pane is scrolled to 30% of its height, preview pane is also automatically scrolled to 30% of its height.

In most typical cases both source and and preview contain almost only text, so their height is more or less proportional and this approach works quite well. This method also seems to be very performant and scalable, as it chceks only the pane height and scroll position, without parsing the text etc. so it shouldn't be dependent on the amount of content in the pane.

However in cases when the content between panes is very disproportional (e.g. if you embed a link to a tall image, that in the source pane is just a single line of text and in the preview pane is an actual image, several hundreds of pixels high or if you put 30 newlines in the source that get squashed into a single newline in the preview) scrolling in Ghost can go out of sync.

@sam What do You think? Should we give similar simple approach a try? Or do you want to have something exactly accurate?

A poll is identified by its title prefix.
So if the prefix is configured as "aaa:" in one language, and "bbb:" in another, topic titled as "aaa: a new poll" will not be shown as a poll in the later.
It is terrible in multiple language forum.

Project: Better frontend error handling

$

Kane York wrote:

With my laptop and the spotty campus WiFi, I've noticed that Discourse doesn't handle sudden connectivity loss very well. For example, try this test:

  • Disconnect network
  • Click notifications bubble

Expect: Some visual indication that I clicked on the bubble. Anything!
Actual: Uncaught promise is logged to the console and no header popup is shown.

  • Disconnect network
  • Click logo

Expect: Some sort of graceful degradation
Actual: Infinite loading spinner


Additionally, it would be nice if the backend had cleaner paths to error returning. If I look at application_controller.rb, I see at least 4 utility functions for returning an error:

  • handle_unverified_request returns a 403 with the text ['BAD CSRF']. This is handled by Discourse.ajax().
  • rescuing from RateLimiter::LimitExceeded returns 429 with a JSON object with an errors array and a time_left parameter.
  • rescuing from Discourse::NotLoggedIn either redirects to / or returns a 403 with failed_json.merge, adding a message string.
  • Similarly, but a little differently, rescuing from Discourse::ReadOnly returns a 405 with failed_json merged with a message.
  • Discourse::NotFound and Discourse::InvalidAccess call rescue_discourse_actions, which has such weird behavior, I'm going to need subbullets to explain it:
    • If the request is from the URL bar or an external link, the 'Not Found' page with a login button is returned. (example)
    • If the request is from JS, but the status is 404, the Not Found page is returned anyways.
    • If the request is from JS and the status isn't 404, it renders plaintext: either [error: 'not found'] or [error: 'invalid access']. Both of these, and the Not Found page, are guaranteed to break the JSON parser.

Other controllers use the failed_json.merge method, but there's even another error path: render_json_error which is called with an ActiveRecord object and serializes its .errors.full_messages. admin/screened_ip_addresses_controller provides a nice example of this here.

Just as an extra punch in the face, if you're running in development mode, none of the rescue_froms are run and instead you get the beautiful Rails error page: https://meta.discourse.org/uploads/default/4104/6a7ea727bef9e3bb.png (Oh, this also happens for the ActiveRecord errors too, so it's also impossible to do manual tests of render_json_error in a development environment.)


I've started trying to add all the catches here.

What it does is repurpose the render_json_error method from something specific to ActiveRecord objects to taking any array of messages (that's the return type of full_messages). It gives the client a JSON array like this:

{
  success: false, /* compat with success_json */
  failed: 'FAILED', /* compat with failed_json */
  messages: ["The site is in read only mode. Interactions are disabled."]
}

An intermediate goal would be to make sure that every Discourse.ajax() call either provides an error handler or passes the promise to a function that adds one. The status-complete state would be that every call has an appropriate response to the request failing.

Duplicate JSHint excludes config

Wojciech Zawistowski wrote:

There are two places where you can specify files excluded from JSHint linting:

  • .jshintignore
  • test/javascripts/jshint_all.js.erb

.jshintignore influences Travis (but doesn't exclude file when running tests in browser via /qunit URL while jshint_all.js.erb excludes files from browser runner but doesn't influence Travis.

Ideally this should be merged into a single configuration, in a single place.

Discourse General Polish

Sam Saffron wrote:

As we approach 1.0 I feel we need to spend a bit more time focusing on UI polish. I am creating this topic to collate issues I would like to see fixed.

Hopefully some people looking to help out with Discourse can try working on some of these.

Issues I want fixed

  • Footer padding gets out of sync: start typing a new topic in the composer ... size it big ... got to random topic ... footer padding is not added so you can not see the last post on topic. (workaround, resize composer once more so footer padding is added). This need to be added everywhere automatically. Including admin screens.

  • Expanding user card (click on my avatar arrow_left) has a shoddy jarring visual effect, it sizes the window twice. Instead just setting a fixed width and sliding down if it needs extra height.

  • When you make a new post it jitters, first render renders without your avatar, then its re-rendered with avatar. Jitter must go, needs to be seamless. Feel free to try on try.discourse.org

  • Uneeded "Loading ..." images when clicking between tabs. When you navigate from "latest" to "new" we unconditionally show a "Loading ..." gif, this should only show up if you are waiting longer than say 500ms.

  • We unconditionally reload topic page if you click on "title". instead it should scroll you to top if post 0 is already in memory. Same for in between posts navigation (eg quoting and so on)

  • Reloading a page with a big draft will often lead to this rendering bug:

  • Mac Chrome. Navigating back using the back button to the latest page is "glitchy" if you have scrolled down a topic. It rerenders the title undocked (as if you are on post 1) and then navigates back, this looks really glitchy

  • Synchronized editor, Ghost (open source) has a feature where it ensures the line you are typing in the composer is in view in the preview. This really helps composing longer posts like this or situations where space is tight. Whoever takes this needs to make sure perf does not suffer.

  • Mac OSX - Chrome ... while typing stuff in search box search box is half visible.

Experiments needed

  • Page transitions: nodebb and stripe use a technique that fades out the page you are leaving and in the page you are going to. see: http://community.nodebb.org/category/3/nodebb-development and click on a topic. This can either be over-the-top or help usability - it is worth an experiment, if done in a subtle way it can look pretty good (probably a default off thing for now)

Am I missing any other polish issues here?

If you are helping out with Discourse and would like to take any of these on, reply here.

Embed draw.io diagram in post

I like using draw.io for diagramming. It would be nice to aid discussions with diagrams from there using the latest version of the diagram. Draw.io allows you to embed an editable drawing as an HTML/Javascript snippet, but this doesn't currently work in a Discourse post.

Would creating a onebox file for draw.io be the right approach? Or is this a new feature?

I'm following official tutorial but using Linode as cloud server.

I've installed the discourse but I can't setup mail configuration and then I don't have any administration access.

I've created Mandrill account and put its credentials to discourse configuration.

But I don't understand the meaning of "SPF and DKIM records", I don't use any DNS tool for now, I can access my website through default Linode name - www.li670-74.members.linode.com

What should I do setup mail and get administration access?

Thanks

When you upload a backup file (or when you made one) and want to restore it, Discourse will look for the archive in the default location. That tar command, however, does look in the right place but will fail of course.

No error is shown, it's only visible in the log.

Admin setting to enable or disable mini-profiler?

Michael Downey wrote:

Continuing the discussion from How can you hide the MiniProfiler?:

Is this (in the admin settings) something possible to do? Since the mini-profiler is always on the left side of the screen, it's often in the way for a language that has left-to-right reading and left-justified text. It'd be great if we could toggle it on only when needed for troubleshooting.
