Just trying things out here. We’re currently on phpBB 3.0. I started the free trial for hosted service.
Then I read this:
And it is talking about a myriad of complexities I hoped to avoid like installing Discourse manually and then using some crazy Docker stuff just to import from phpBB. Is the only way to import from phpBB by doing this all manually?

The
ignore_by_titlefeature is to filter off unwanted (SPAM? auto-mailers? auto-replies?) emails before they create topics that must then be removed by hand.It takes regex expressions and will block the email if matched:
lib/email/receiver.rb: def is_blacklisted? : Regexp.new(SiteSetting.ignore_by_title) =~ @mail.subject endI believe Ruby does a case-sensitive match. It would be much more useful to do a case-insensitive search here just to catch people sending in unwanted emails with different casing.
Otherwise, say, in order to block the word
happy, I’d have to do at least the following:
\bhappy\b|\bHappy\b|\bHAPPY\b

app/models/screened_email.rbhasshould_block?should filters off screened email addresses of known spammers.Levenshtein Distance
The filter works on levenshtein distance between the screened email (known SPAMmer) and the new email address.
I believe the levenshtein distance should be calculated only on the user part of the email address (i.e. anything preceeding
@) because users from the same domain are much more suspicious than the same user from a different domain.For example, say the distance limit is set to one character:
Screened email: john@iibm.com
Incoming email: john@ibm.com (Blocked now, shouldn’t)
Incoming email: john1@iibm.com (Blocked now)
Suggested modification is either:
Limit levenshtein distance to portions of email addresses before
@, orHave two levenshtein distance limits, one for the portions before
@and one for after.Screened Emails Limit
In addition:
screened_emails = ScreenedEmail.order(created_at: :desc).limit(100)limits the search to only 100 screened email addresses. I understand that this is for performance reasons, but shouldn’t this limit be a system setting?
Feature to block entire domain?
In addition to blocking email addresses similar to a screened email, it would be nice to be able to block the entire domain. This is theoretically possible with
domain blacklist, but it is a hassle. Just having an extra option on theUserpage that saysDelete User and Block Entire Domainwill make it much simple to manage.

I read a lot about group feature but hard to understand for me every time.
Like, when we joined group on facebook, there is a different dashboard where everyone can discuss about that specific topic but I haven’t found that in my discourse(If there, kindly correct me)I created group, then I joined that from my another I’d to check out how it works but nothing works, there is nothing there where on can post something then why people’s who use facebook group for discussion comes to my community.
Yesterday, I invited one of friend. He has the knowledge of “Economic” and told him that you should use my community, I will create a different group and you and your friends can discuss here freely.
But, when I created group, there is no option to create a ‘new topic’
When someone joins group, what is his benefit.
Maybe I am wrong about all the things I said about.
Only want to clear my confusion.
Kindly clear it.
Thanks in advance

Just some probably low-priority weirdness I ran into last night.
Expected Behavior:
Anyone who has permission to message a group (as defined on the group admin page) should be able to click on a link to generate a PM to that group.
Actual Behavior:
If someone with permission to message a group but not see it clicks a link to generate a PM, they get a box with the generic “Sorry, an error has occurred” message.
Note that this is specific to using a link to create the message - said user can still manually open up a PM, add the group to the PM, and send them the message without issue.
Repro:
- Create a group with restricted visibility but that everyone is able to message
- With a user that can’t see but can message the group, click on a URL to generate a group message
- “Sorry, an error has occured”. Repro complete!
3a. No errors in /log or /sidekiq

There are rubrics in which it’s interesting to read all the entries, but to read the next one, you have to go back to the category and choose another record.
I think that navigation such will be convenient, it can be put it would be either in all categories, or in selective.For clarity, he drew an example.

Cheers.

I’d like to know what is a tag group.
(searched about it for a while, but couldn’t find any info anywhere)
(I checked in admin settings too, couldn’t find anything about “tag groups” there either).While creating a new category, I saw this "list of allowed tag groups"
So - how can I group tags?

This plugin allows you to restrict access to topic pages in a category. Topic titles will still show up in topic lists, search, user activity & digest emails. This is a great way to advertise the activity in a “members-only” category, which may charge for access.
It IS NOT designed to keep the contents of the category 100% private - if someone is determined enough they will be able to piece together the content from search results.
Each category has a couple of new settings:
“Locked down” topics will show a (configurable) icon in the topic list if the user does not have access:
Once clicked, unauthorised users will be redirected to a defined URL (e.g. your payment gateway). This link can be internal or external. The static pages plugin works great for this.

The URL that “logo url” is pointing to is broken. We’ve tried the following to point the logo URL at a “working” location but Discourse keeps reverting back to the broken URL.
Option 1: reset
Option 2: copy logo small url and paste into logo urlIn both cases, the UI appears to show that the change has occurred. However, refreshing the Settings page shows that the old (broken) URL is still there.
This is with the latest version (1.8.7) of Discourse but it was happening on the previous release (1.8.6) as well.
What can I do to fix this? The site doesn’t look good with the broken logo
Thanks.

I increased the size of my logo using some CSS I found in a thread here, and that pushed the header down. This achieved the goal of making the logo bigger, but now it pushed out the white space between the category/latest buttons. How do I bring back some space there? And in general, how do I find out how to manipulate CSS elements on my forum. Is there a CSS style sheet somewhere?
Here is the code I used to enlarge the logo:
max-height: 80px !important; margin-top:-8px; } .d-header { height: 80px; }

How can I break this 32k limit on Discourse? I tried checking out the limitations admin section: nada.
