I posted a topic update and shortly after, there was a temporary problem with the network connection for our Discourse instance.

This morning we had reports that users didn’t get their email notifications. After checking their settings and the email logs in admin, I saw the following in /logs:

So if there is a network error when email notices are supposed to go out, those notifications aren’t queued for sending until the network connection returns?

Discourse supports hypothes.is oneboxing out of the box, but it is the default onebox:

It puts the annotated text as the title and the annotation as the content. It’s an ok solution but it’s not intuitive. Someone who sees that onebox has no clue that what it’s referring to is actually a web annotation, i.e. a piece of text on the net plus a comment on that piece of text.

It would be great to have a special onebox for this. Perhaps something that looks more like how the annotation is displayed by hypothes.is itself:

Certain Discourse logs use user ID to identify users instead of usernames. However, it is not currently possible to look up users via ID.

• Attempting to navigate by user ID as admin fails: discourse.example.com/admin/users/12345, it appears as though the username must be included to be routed.
• Searching by ID on the /admin/users also fails.

Given that all /admin routes are already staff only, allowing /admin/users/user_id to route without the username shouldn’t be a security risk.

Suggestions? I am trying to setup a site where students can submit videos for review and other students can comment on those videos with video. Unfortunately the use case doesn’t lend itself well to uploading to dropbox or youtube as the student work needs to be kept private and the class frequently uploads the movies directly from iOS devices lended out to them by our college so setting up Dropbox each time the devices were checked out won’t work.

And if there is a better platform to handle this amount of video feel free to chime in. I’m open to anything.

I’m at a complete loss and I would love to move forward with Discourse but I can’t find documentation that’s up to date because so much that I’ve read is deprecated. Here is the gist.

Use Case: I have a member only site I’m creating. Users pay to access the content which is a blend of private videos, files and then access to the Discourse forum.

Setup: I’m running the main site at http://theonefifty.com where it’s powered by WordPress, I’m running Discourse at http://cohort.theonefifty.com

What I want: Users come to the WordPress site, fill out an application and once it’s reviewed and approved I manually create their Discourse account. (Ideally SSO would work here but right now that’s a secondary objective.) Once I approve the users I want them to login to their account and have access to both WordPress and Discourse content in a seamless way. Ideally I’d wrap Discourse with the WordPress theme by embedding Discourse into the Forum page I’ve created in WordPress… is this even possible?

Almost 3 weeks ago we migrated an old forum from myBB to Discourse, bringing all the content and creating proper 301 redirects for all old threads, categories and topics. Since the move, our incoming traffic from search engine has dropped over 20%, so far inexplicably.

Our SEO consultant has highlighted that serving different content to the crawler may be one of the reasons that Google treats the new forums so poorly compared to the past. The version seen by Google of a topic page for example contains less content than what a browser sees (no indication of reply, login, search or suggested topics, among other things.)

Has anybody noticed similar traffic drops after a migration from ‘old-school’ html forums? Any suggestion on how to fix things on our forums?

I followed Straightforward direct-delivery incoming mail for setting up reply by email and it’s working perfect.

However, what I would like to do now is enable creating a topic via email and having all incoming emails to that address go to a category that only admins can see. For example, I would like to create a category calling Incoming Email, have support@example.com emails post to that category, but only allow seeing those posts if you’re an admin.

The problem is if users send an email to support@example.com, the email bounces back because they don’t have permission to create topics in the Incoming Email category.

Is there a way to create a category where everyone has write but not read access?

Maybe there’s a better solution/suggestion?

Let’s say most dev communities are already build on discourse anyway, so it’s easy to envision as someone battling with upgrading from designer to fullstack dev, I would like to have the Discourse, Graph.Cool, Elixir, Atom, and various other dev minded communities I like in the same app, not browser dependant…

What’d ya think, If I make this Open Source should I have any problems with Discrouse Inc.

Hi all, I have seven different tasks that I’d like to get done on my upcoming forum – the first three here are critical to our forum launch though.

My budget is open and I’d like to get quotations for these three tasks.

The sooner the better, and myself and another programmer can work alongside, although we are not Discourse experts.

Tasks

1. Account Creation Additions: Two Subscription Checkbox Options

   Add checkboxes to the initial signup page in order to (a) Subscribe to our Newsletter and (b) Sign up for our “Hot Deal Alerts”.

   • Upon submitting, this can go through our main API with a post request.

   • These two checkboxes would be checked by default.

   • Must also work with third-party logins (ie Facebook/Google/Twitter, if emails are provided by those services)

   This may work as a webhook to our main API?

2. Move WordPress blog comments from Disqus to our Discourse

   a.) First, create a Discourse topic created for every post on our WordPress blog that has Disqus comments – we will provide logic so that it is placed in the proper Discourse category (depending on the blog’s category).

   b.) Next, any comments we have in our old Disqus system can be turned into comments on the corresponding Topic. Any comments made by me should be attributed to my user, if possible.

   c.) After that, the WordPress plugin should cover us most of the way there, but additional assistance may be requested.

   d.) Finally, we’d like a path to allowing a user to merge with their old Disqus comments (lower priority).

3. Plugin: Call a JS file on our www server and embed a few empty divs

   I need each page to run a simple one-liner call to a JS file hosted our main server, passing it this forum page’s current category and current tags, if they exist.

   Then in select areas on the forum page, I want the plugin to place empty divs (and the JS our main server runs will populate them).

   Note: There is a possibility that we choose to have the Discourse plugin generate the HTML based upon what’s returned. I can show examples of how our tech works.

Thank you, please contact me here and let’s talk. If things go well, I have additional requests with regards to Teams, Flagging, Stealthbanning, etc.

Also, a ping to @pfaffman who helped me with my separate container setup and did a wonderful job and should see this. Jay can vouch that I pay, and I’m happy to contract work via UpWork if necessary.

Thanks!
Berto

I believe it is the latest beta that has this problem.

AFAIK all user profile options can be saved and persisted, EXCEPT for:

• Watched Categories

• Tracked Categories

• Watching First Post Categories

• Muted Categories

• Watched Tags

• Tracked Tags

• Watching First Post Tags

• Muted Tags

Muted Users work fine.

Pressing Save Changes will send the correct REST PUT command. Came back with 200 and “Saved!” right next to the button.

Thus, to the web app, the settings have been changed. However, the database has not been changed.

I tried this on Meta and it doesn’t persist to database also.
