Unable to restore backup in web_only installation

After taking so many pains and strains, I finally got web_only docker configured. I wanted to import my backup from the development env I have and when I tried to restore, I get this error

pg_dump -s -x -O -f /var/www/discours
e/db/structure.sql discourse failed

Of course this command will and should fail because the the postgres db is on another machine. Is there a way to fix this?

Or… you can just use global incrementing counter and short natural numbers. Sorry, if that sounds stupid, i’m not familiar with reasons why guid-s were selected for attachments (i know all advantages and disadvandages, but don’t know what is more important for discourse).

Uploaded file not available for download after restoring site

@fefrei wrote:

Recently, one of the Discourse instances I’m maintaining migrated from being a standalone installation to being a multisite tenant, through backup-and-restore on a new host. In this process, the hostname also changed to a subdomain of the original one.

During this process, something went wrong with the attachments. While old images load fine, non-image attachments seem to be broken.

One of the broken files is linked in the post as https://ws1617.■■■■■.■■■■■/uploads/prog1-ws1617/original/1X/3e5103b67bd6911bda0666be6d1aecb615f6ce38.exe. (This is the correct new hostname.)

Visiting this URL, while being logged in as an admin, yields a 404 error.

However, the file does exist in the file system, at the expected path /var/discourse/shared/standalone# ls -al uploads/prog1-ws1617/original/1X/3e5103b67bd6911bda0666be6d1aecb615f6ce38.exe.

The file also seems to have a healthy record in the uploads table:

The Rails log file states that this is a problem of no route matching:

[prog1-ws1617] Started GET "/uploads/prog1-ws1617/original/1X/3e5103b67bd6911bda0666be6d1aecb615f6ce38.exe" for ■■■.■■■.■■.■■■ at 2017-07-29 12:24:24 +0000

Notify moderators when a user reaches TL3

0

@jomaxro wrote:

At the moment, Discourse notifies users when they reach Trust Level 3 (via the Regular Badge), but there isn’t an equivalent notification for site staff. By the default requirements, TL3 users are very active users of the site who provide helpful posts (liked by others). As a site admin, I’d like to recognize users who accomplish this, as well as encourage them to keep doing what they’re doing. At the moment, I just keep an eye on /badges/3/regular, but this is very manual.

Thoughts on a site setting to send moderators (or more ideally a list of users) a PM when a user reaches TL3? Site setting because this could be incredibly noisy on larger sites, and “ideally a list of users” as there may be numerous moderators, not all of whom need to be alerted to something like this.

It would be really cool to see a feature on the top right :arrow_upper_right: beside the menus with a :crescent_moon: icon which when pressed will change the theme to dark and once it’s activated the :crescent_moon:will change to a :sun_with_face: which will allow you to active the default (light) theme!

I think this would be a very useful feature and should be in the base Discourse.

Is there a way to refine "Top"?

@Drew_Warwick wrote:

I want to find the top threads as defined by Discourse’s Top page in a certain category. For instance, the top 50 feature requests this month. I can click the “Category” column title to sort by category, which works if it chooses the category I want to be the first in the list, but otherwise I can’t find a way to refine the “Top” listing. Is there a way to do this, maybe not through the UI, but through REST requests?

[PAID] Auto create new topic when I publish a video on YouTube

0

@LeoB wrote:

Am looking for a solution to automate this:

I’ve got a YouTube channel. A new video is published every couple of days. Now the people on my forum say that it would be great if those videos were also on the forum, so that the videos could function as conversation starters and could be discussed on the forum among the members.

So I’d need to have a new topic generated in Discourse whenever a new video is published on my YouTube channel. Topic title would be “[Titel of YouTube Video] (YouTube)”. Body would be simply an embed of the video itself. And these auto-generated topics should all go into one specific category of my Discourse forum.

Has anyone done this before?

Can anyone code this for me (for a fee, for course)?

Or else do you have ideas how this could be done?

My own thoughts on this so far: With WordPress, I could do this simply with a service like Zapier or IFTTT. But, as far as I know, none of these services integrate directly with Discourse to create new topics. I think there are plugins for Wordpress that can post to Discourse. And perhaps one could build kind of an assembly line, where YouTube feeds to Zapier, Zapier feeds to Wordpress, and Wordpress feeds to Discourse. But I’d prefer having something more direct, with fewer moving parts that can break. Would gladly pay for such a solution, too.

Thanks!

Discourse Forum Logo Randomly Disappearing

For some reason the logo on our forum disappears then re-appears some time later. If the logo is not there, you can do a browser refresh and it will usually get it to come back up. Here is a screen shot:

The logo acually re-appears and stays for a while but then if you pay enough attention, you will catch it not displaying. Especially when scrolling through threads. Has anyone else noticed this issue ?

Additional, optional barriers before commenting on an article?

0

@codinghorror wrote:

:mega: This scenario is mostly relevant when Discourse is used for embedded comments on a parent website, not necessarily when Discourse is used as a completely standalone discussion community site.

For sites like https://bbs.boingboing.net and https://discourse.codinghorror.com, where Discourse is used as a de-facto system to comment on blog entries, you have the classic Ars :banana: problem:

:question: Did people even read the article before commenting on it?

It’s tough, becase as you will learn from that experiment, for many, many people, the answer is, sadly, no.

I’ve been floating some ideas to combat that effect for quite some time now, and I noticed that one of the ideas – a literal quiz you have to answer before you’re allowed to comment on the article – was finally implemented by someone, somewhere!

Of course this does not scale at all, unless you fancy the idea of writing a custom quiz for every single blog entry you post. But it’s a fun concept to explore!

I think table stakes here is to visually indicate new users in some way; Discourse, has done this since forever using a light grey “dim” username to indicate the new user is sort of ghostly and not fully substantiated because they just arrived.

image

In addition to the mandatory quiz, some other ideas I had that I think might also work:

Show, for new users, how much time they spent reading the article next to their username when they comment.

Steam does this to great effect. For every review of a game on Steam, you’ll see a small indicator next to the user indicating how much of that game they actually played. This is quite brilliant! When you see a negative review from someone that spent 10 minutes with a game, that is a very different thing than a review from someone who spent 10 hours with it.

This is a little hairy because it requires the parent site to reliably track read time somehow.

Show, for new users, how many other posts they read in the topic next to their username when they comment

This is a related technique that’s a bit more meta, since it is about the discussion and not the original article. It would certainly let you know how interested commenters are in listening to other commenters (and not potentially duplicating or rehashing old topics) before chiming in with their own comments.

Of course you could do both #1 and #2 to cover all your bases; show both article read time in minutes, and comment read time (plus count) in minutes.

image

Require users to read every comment (or a percentage of comments) before posting their own comment

This is certainly more draconian than the quiz, but also doesn’t require a custom set of content for every blog post. The only thing that gives me pause here is that, as the discussion gets bigger and bigger, this is an almost impossible bar. If there are 500 comments, is it realistic to expect a new commenter to read all 500 before posting? So perhaps a cap is in order; read at least 100 comments before being allowed to add a comment of your own, or something like that?

image

Require users to rate a few random comments (by other new users?) before posting their own comment

This is the path of Civil Comments, but it’s unclear how dedicated they are to this approach as they appear to have pivoted pretty hard away from being a commenting system. I still love this approach overall, and I think it might scale better than the other 3 options above. I like the idea of being forced to introspect a bit about what others are trying to say before commenting, and you could cleverly get new commenters to vet each other in this manner, by restricting the rating to just other new commenters versus long time veterans who are unlikely to be doing anything untoward.

Magical Mystery Machine Learning

There is also the “magical machine learning” path here, where services can vet a comment to see if it’s somehow toxic.

https://www.perspectiveapi.com/#/

This is more akin to the spam filtering we do with Akismet, but conceptually it’s very similar.

Your thoughts?

What do you think of these ideas? How else can we combat the Ars :banana: problem, where people write comments without spending any time reading? Any other concepts I’ve missed?
