Is there a known issue with pinned items?
Patrick Klug wrote:
We had a massive influx of users today at our forum:
http://forum.greenheartgames.com/
I'm trying to post important information in topics and pin them but they don't seem to stick to the top. I know there's the idea to clear pins but even guests don't see them at the top...
Any clues?

So my forum is located at something.domain.com but i'd like to move it to something.domain.com/forum and have a Wordpress website on somethng.domain.com instead.
What would be the procedure to accomplish this? Is it complicated?

How to build a community?
Graeme Stuart wrote:
Hi,
I have a very small discourse forum (forum.smartspaces.dmu.ac.uk) that I set up in January as part of an energy saving project in Leicester in the UK. The project is a collaboration between the City Council and my University and involves 25 public buildings around the city (a pool of thousands of potential users). The forum is intended as a tool for building a community of like-minded people who work in or with these buildings.
We have already gathered a small group. After nearly three months there are now about 20 users registered, including some key people such as the energy managers and people directly working in sustainability but also some early adopters from buildings where there is already strong awareness of energy issues. About half of the users are actually directly involved in the project and half have joined based on our efforts so far. I have spoken to some users who are very comfortable with the concept of a forum but others who were sceptical at first and had to be 'encouraged' to contribute (and are now posting independently).
What I want to know is, how do I build a community around this small core? How do I keep the existing users engaged in the forum whilst also attracting new users? How do I support the disparate individuals and groups scattered amongst the thousands of building users to coalesce into a community around the forum? Importantly, how do I reach out to building users who may not be used to the concept of an online forum? The target audience don't know they need a forum yet (I am certain some of them do need one). Many potential users will never have used one before and those who have may have prejudices based on their experiences.
An empty site is not very interesting so its obvious that in these early stages I need to seed the site with as many interesting discussions as possible. I have done a bit of this but I had to slow down because the site was just me talking to myself. I think this was enough to demonstrate the functionality of the tools to my colleagues and it did start a few short conversations.
We are now at the stage where we have half a dozen users who regularly post and create topics. But, just as the earliest posts were all me, it is beginning to feel like everything is a conversation between the same individuals. This may mean we are talking about a very limited range of subjects and I am worried this may put new user off. We are mostly energy geeks and professionals, we want to attract normal people.
I think we need a critical mass of users if the forum is to become a valuable resource for a wider user base. Is there any target size I should be aiming for? I have a target of 50 active users in the next few months. I also think that attracting the right kind of users and the right mix of users is important. I want a range of perspectives from senior managers, financial people, energy experts (covered), security guards, cleaners, sceptics, obsessives and people who can link out via twitter or wherever to lots of potential users. People who are going to start good topics and have different opinions. This is difficult when the number of users is so small and becomes easier with more users.
Does anyone have any advice or want to share their experiences? Is meta the right place for this discussion? Its not the usual feature request or bug report.

Install to subfolder instead of subdomain (SEO optimization)

How feasible would it be to customize Discourse to run in a subdirectory instead of top-level? Subdomains such as discourse.domain.com are disadvantaged from an SEO perspective.

Mentioning Categories instead of Groups?
Jeff Atwood wrote:
Had an interesting idea come up in an email:
You can easily include any other group on a thread by CC'ing them. Currently you can only @mention users and groups, and groups can only be created and managed by admins. So there's no easy way to @mention a group of self-organized people. Suggestion: Enable @mentioning categories. @mentioning a category would notify anyone watching or tracking the category about the post, as if they themselves were @mentioned. (There's a second option here to enable user-created/-managed groups, but that seems much harder.)
I wonder, would it make sense to have a category be mention-able? E.g. if I typed
@devand that pinged everyone who was watching the dev category?I know Quora had something like this for a long time, if you followed a particular subject you'd get pinged when "stuff" happened to that subject.
Or is this merely overloading the category concept too much with group stuff? Hmm.

Transifex integration progress
Neil wrote:
Progress on integrating with Transifex today!
All
config/locales/client.*.ymlandconfig/locales/server.*.ymlfiles are now in sync between Transifex and the Discourse repo. So now everyone can work on translations at Transifex and we can pull them in without the need for pull requests.https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/discourse-pt-br/
There's still some work to do, and some issues are bound to come up, but this is the way to a less painful process to get Discourse localized and keep it up-to-date.
Next Steps
I'll write a script to help do the pulling. It needs these things:
- Transifex's "download for use" files remove all comments. Add the comment at the top of every file, as a minimum. I'll open a support ticket with Transifex to see if there's a way to keep the comments instead.
- Rename the root elements of the
fr,es,ko, andptfiles. On Transifex, they arefr_FR,es_ES,ko_KR, andpt_PT, and that's what Transifex sends back as the root element in the yml, which breaks things.I18nin Rails doesn't recognize those as valid locales.Files to add to Transifex next:
- yml files in
plugins/poll/config/locales- yml files in
vendor/gems/discourse_imgur/localeFiles to sync with Transifex and start pulling:
- all
public/*.htmlTo investigate:
- html.erb files in
app/views/static. Transifex treats .html.erb files as html, breaking the erb. Maybe we won't integrate these files with Transifex at all. They very rarely change.

YtLight: a lightweight YouTube Oneboxer
Claus Strasburger wrote:
Continuing the discussion from Brand new plugin interface:
So I made this plugin. It's working fairly well in development, but I haven't had time to deploy it on my production instance yet.
Basically this replaces the generic whitelist oneboxer for youtube.com and youtu.be with simple image embeds. Those images get a play button, so users know it's a video. Once they click the image, the actual youtube player is loaded.
This is especially useful if you have topics with massive amounts of YouTube-Links, because loading those takes some time and crashes some older boxes -- with this plugin, no more!How it looks:
The code: https://gist.github.com/cfstras/8824566
Installing:
rake plugin:install repo=https://gist.github.com/8824566.git name=ytlight rake assets:precompile rake posts:rebake # this will take a long time. # now restart your servicesNote that you can omit the post rebaking, this will cause only new posts to use the light embed.

Proposing Jekyll as community wiki platform
Erlend Sogge Heggen wrote:
Continuing the discussion from All the options to deploy Discourse with their relative pros and cons:
I suggest running an openly editable Jekyll wiki, probably on GitHub, with editing support via prose.io. You could enable plugins the simple way or the advanced way. Then you could use @trident's awesome Jekyll integration plugin to create discussions-per-page.

Deleted posts included in post count
TechnoBear wrote:
On occasion, the green post count box includes deleted posts in the number visible to ordinary (non-mod) members, resulting in some weird numbers, such as 7 of 5. It clears on navigating away from the thread and returning.
So far, I've only spotted this happening on Chromium, but that may be a red herring.
(@zogstrip says this is a known issue, but I can't find an existing Bug report.)
Update:
I might be wrong here, but thinking about these instances, they seem to occur when (a) the final post in the thread is visible when the thread opens - so either a short thread, or one which has already been mostly read - and (b) post(s) have been made and deleted since the previous visit to the thread (if any).Navigating away from the thread and then returning fixes the post count error.
