sorry the images are with Persian words. if you note at the red circles, I hope you can see the wrong behavior.

if I go to the search page and I search a word, I’ll find some entries for it:

if I want to do the same search in a specific category using the advanced search it gave me wrong results:

as you can note it didn’t find anything. though in the first image, the first entry is from the same category selected in the second image.

if you go to the category page, and search in the category for the word, you will see the correct result:

Posts from a particular category missing from homepage - just for the admin user

Hi,

Posts from a particular category missing from homepage
This is the only category in which I have enabled the “solved” plugin.

Just before this happened, this is what I was doing:
I accessed the category URL, appended ?solved=no to it and was browsing through the posts.
And I was marking solutions. (as admin user).
Once I was done with it, I went back to the homepage.
And found it was no more showing any posts from that category.
I tried everything , like refresh etc.
Posts from that category is missing just for the admin user.

Hi, I’m trying to install using Virtualbox Ubuntu 16.04 following the docker instructions here.

Everything seems ok, no errors during installation, I finished it, and when I try to access by IP, it returns a

Error code 102 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

I have disabled firewall, so what else should I check? The instructions does not say what to check if it does not start.

Locations Plugin

0
0

@angus wrote:

Repo: GitHub - angusmcleod/discourse-locations

This plugin allows you to associate locations with topics, and list topics with locations on a map.

You can see an example of it in action on my sandbox.

Maps are handled by Leaflet.js and multiple geocoding providers are supported. Both are customizable via admin settings as explained below in ‘Admin Settings’.

Features:

  • Locations can be turned on for specific categories by toggling ‘Allow locations to be added to topics in this category’ in the Category settings.

  • When locations are turned on a for a category:

    • The composer will include an ‘Add Location’ button when composing a new topic in that category.

      11 PM

      This opens a modal which allows the user to enter the location details, including a geocoded address:

    • ‘Map’ will be added to the category nav items. This will display a map in place of the topic list with topics that have geocoded locations associated with them marked on it. This list can be set as the default for the category in the category settings. When multiple topics are associated with the same location, they are grouped into expandable clusters (using the Marker Cluster plugin for Leaflet). Clicking on the markers navigates the user to the associated topic.

  • When a location is added to a topic:

    • The location details will appear underneath the topic title. If the location is geocoded a ‘Show Map’ button appears to the right of the location details. This button toggles a mini-map showing the location.

    • Locations can be edited in the ‘topic title’ edit controls.

  • The map controls available to users are:

    • Expand 01 PM. This will expand the map to take over the whole window aside from the Header bar.

    • Zoom 13 PM. This are standard leaflet zoom controls.

    • Attribution 12 PM. This toggles the visibility of the attribution.

Admin Settings:

  • location input fields enabled: toggles whether ‘Add Location’ modal displays specific location input fields or a single location query input

    51 PM
    OR
    10 PM

  • location input fields: sets what input fields are used if location input fields enabled is true

  • location geocoding:

    • none: User is required to enter either a name or an address when adding a location. Addresses are stored as a string.

    • optional: User is required to enter either a name or an address when adding a location. Addresses are geocoded and will display on any associated maps.

    • required: User is required to enter an address when adding a location. Addresses are geocoded and will display on any associated maps.

  • location geocoding provider: the service that translates user input into coordinates that can be displayed on a map. Geocoding is handled by the Geocoder gem, which supports a number of geocoding providers. Think of these providers like you would a transactional email provider. The list of providers available in this plugin is a sub-set of the list in the gem. The providers currently supported by this plugin are:

    Nominatim is the default, as it doesn’t require an api key, has no (relevant) restrictions in terms of use and is good for testing and light use. My preferred provider is Mapzen, partly because they gave me the best results when testing my home address, partly because their Geocoding service is not restricted to use with Mapzen maps and partly because they have open-sourced a lot of their stuff. The other providers have their strengths though. I suggest you review each of them (e.g. check the Terms; test relevant addresses) if you’re serious about using this plugin.

    This sub-set of providers available through the Geocoder gem were chosen according to these criteria:

    • Ease of integration. The reason I didn’t include Google is because Google Maps is not designed to be used with Leaflet.js (or any other 3rd party software). I did get it working, however it requires multiple customizations specific to Google and the end result is not great, so I don’t want to support it considering there are a number of other more customizable providers that can do the job just as well. If for some reason you must use Google Maps with this plugin, it is possible, but you will need to handle and support the integration yourself.

    • Terms of Service. A number of the Geocoding providers only allow you to use their geocoding data in conjunction with their own maps. This is true of some of the providers this plugin does support. For example, you can’t use Mapbox data on non-Mapbox maps. For the providers that have this restriction I have only included those that make it relatively easy to use both their geocoding service and their mapping service with Leaflet.js, so the service can be used without breaching the provider’s terms.

    • Functionality. Some of the providers listed in the Geocoder gem docs no longer work.

  • location geocoding api key: When a geocoding provider requires an API key, enter it here before you switch to that service in the location geocoding provider setting. If you switch to a provider that requires a key before entering a key you will get an error.

  • location geocoding timeout: This sets the timeout for the Geocoder gem. It is unlikely you will need to change this.

  • location map tile layer: Aka the “basemap”. This is the actual map image on which locations are shown. There is a large variety of basemaps that can be used. Keep in mind that some Geocoding providers require you to use their basemaps when using their geocoding service. There’s a nice basemap showcase here.

  • location map tile layer subdomains: Relevant for some basemap providers. It is unlikely you will need to use this.

  • location map attribution: This string will appear when the ‘i’ button in the bottom right corner of the map is clicked. Please always give attribution to the providers you are using.

Events Plugin :calendar:

@angus wrote:

Repo: GitHub - angusmcleod/discourse-events

This plugin allows you to associate datetime ranges with topics and list those topics in the chronological order of their datetime ranges. In other words, it lets you manage events in Discourse.

You can see an example of it in my sandbox.

Note:

  • Another plugin that allows you to manage datetimes in Discourse, with more of a focus on timezone management, is Discourse Chronos (when it is released).

  • If you’re managing events being held at physical locations, you may want to consider using this plugin alongside my Locations Plugin (both are in action in the ‘Events’ category in my sandbox).

Features:

  • Events can be turned on for specific categories by toggling ‘Allow events to be added to topics in this category’ in the Category settings.

  • When events are turned on for a Category:

  • When an event is added to a topic:

    • The event details will appear underneath the topic title.

    • If the events add to calendar site setting is turned on, an ‘Add to Calendar’ button will appear to the right of the event details. This provides a direct link to add the event to Google calendar and allows the user to download an .ics file with the event details.

      44 AM

Admin settings:

  • events add to calendar: This toggles the ‘Add to Calendar’ button next to the event details in the topic.

More notes:

  • Datetimes are stored as Unix timestamps (i.e seconds since epoch). This makes it easy to order the topics using the existing topic list filter structure.

  • Time conversion and formatting on the client is handled by moment.js; see e.g. the eventLabel helper. Should probably add settings that allow the time format to be changed.

  • Time selection dropdown is handled by the jquery-timepicker plugin. Probably could be replaced by a native solution in the future. And the increment period of the times in the dropdown should be a setting.

  • As raised re the similar button in the Locations Plugin, adding a button to the composer is perhaps not ideal. Trying to think of a better solution for this.

Discourse embeding referer problem

@PBn wrote:

I am setting up a site and discourse is rejecting the referer. I have tried all reasonable permutations of the url of the embedding site in the discourse setup.

But on the page it always displays the same blank referer error:

The site is HTTPS but everything is set up reasonably, or reasonably enough to work at least.

But no matter what I do the referer is blank.
I assumed that it was some kind of downgrade problem with the HTTPS hiding the referer but I can’t seem to work out what’s going on.

The request seems fine…

Anyone have a clue?


ps sorry for my shitty site



Edit:
nvm
I was stripping referers on the page like an idiot.

"Frequent Posters" does not exclude whispers

@jcoates wrote:

The frequent poster stats within a topic are currently based off of total number of actual posts, not those visible to the user. For example, log out and take a look at Onebox Link Trips ‘First Quote’ Badge. You will see the that Jeff and Joshua each wrote two hidden posts and TechAPJ is listed although he didn’t write any visible posts.

Likes totals are also drawn from total number of posts rather than visible.

Allow anonymous visitors to create topic

Hi there!

I am a happy user of Discourse - thank you so much for the continual development.

What i would like to see, is logged-out / not yet registered visitors to be able to create a new topic. They create the post and after clicking “create topic” they have to sign up for an account.

The topic will be saved in the browser cache (as already is done with Discourse) until the sign up process is done.

There are already several webservices who use this kind of behaviour. The advantage is:

The visitor has already written the post, so he knows it would get lost if he doesnt sign up -> Improves sign up rate

I am no tech expert, so please forgive me if this wouldn’t be possible!

Changing Username Stops Email Notifications

@JamesNorth wrote:

Hi All,

I’ve managed to reproduce this several times on two Discourse installs.

  • Create User, assign to group
  • Create category, llock category to group
  • User is Watching that category
  • Change that User’s username

Post in that category as admin or reply to post by user and the system doesn’t even bother generating emails notifying that person of posts.

It doesn’t appear in the skipped logs or in ‘sent’.

Can anyone else see this happening?

Thanks!
