Watched Words and Personal/Private Messages

@RobMeade wrote:

Hi,

I just wanted to ask whether it was already known that when using the Watched Words functionality, Discourse flags PMs?

I do have Admin access, but I don’t think ordinarily I would see messages sent to another user, but if it is flagged because of a watched word, I can then click on the link to view the PM.

I wasn’t sure whether to suggest this was a bug until I had at least asked the question above.

In one sense, I would prefer to be able to action the watched words in any of the topics/posts/messages, but in the other hand, I don’t feel that I should be able to see a PM addressed to someone else, in this case, another member of the team.

Tracking referrals? Encouraging users to invite others?

I’m looking for ways to grow my site. We are close to 1000 members but we just hit a slump in growth.

We plan on doing a contest of some type but we want to make sure the contest encourages further growth. We thought about doing a contest: Whoever invites the most active users in 30 days wins.

This could be effective but the problem is I don’t see any admin overview of signups via invite or sitewide user activity, so it would be difficult to track.

Does anyone know of a way we can track invites and user activity sitewide?

So I’m trying to get the top nav to match our main site and I’m having trouble with adding menu items under the user avatar icon. I saw that I could use api.decorateWidget to add links to the hamburger menu but since I need the notification bubbles, I want to edit the menu under the avatar icon.

This is what i’m trying to get to:

NOQUEUE: reject using Direct Email Delivery

@dfriestedt wrote:

I have a new discourse installation and am setting up Direct Email Delivery according to these instructions: [Straightforward direct-delivery incoming mail]

I have this working on a different forum, no problem. However, on the new forum no inbound emails are getting delivered. When running ./launcher logs mail-receiver I see the email message is getting rejected. Any thoughts on trouble shooting? I’m getting this error from different email addresses.

I checked the API key - it’s correct
I disabled spam protection
I checked all the email addresses in the setup, they are correct.

thx

"Which topic do you want to reply to" popup gets confused

@barryvan wrote:

Steps I took to make this happen:

  1. Start replying to a topic.
  2. Go home.
  3. Switch to the “categories” view.
  4. Load a category.
  5. Load a topic in that category.
  6. Use the back button twice to return to “categories”.
  7. Hit the “reply” button.

It looks like going into a different topic sets a flag indicating that that might be the topic to reply to, but this flag isn’t unset when leaving the topic.

New per-category view mode: 2 columns; left is for topic list; right is for topic itself

0

@meglio wrote:

When a category acts as a catalogue of things, it would be handy to have a per-category setting which activates the two-column view:

The topic list in the left column can be displayed as it is in the two-column home page layout.

The topic itself in the right column can be displayed just in a regular way.

This is especially useful when the category is designated to work as a catalogue of things, so that you can keep clicking on topic titles in the left column, and explore topic content in the right column.

Just like Total Command (Windows) / Path Finder (mac), or Finder (Mac) with a file list on the left and a preview pan on the right.

All the menu buttons remain the same - i.e. Latest, New, Unread, Top and so on, so that you can manipulate filtering and ordering of the topic list on the left.

If implemented, even more amazing layouts can be achieved by combining with the Topic List Previews plugin (@angus). For example, you can have product details on the left and product topic on the right.

Installing a plugin on a hosted plan?

I’m not very techy (at all) and want to use Discourse to build my online community on. I’ve got it set up with my domain and started to get the hang of using it and customizing the basics.

I wanted to install a plugin, which has left me feeling really confused. I should be using a container? I don’t know what this is. Also I keep seeing that I need to install discourse myself, but I thought it was already set up because it works for me.

I know how dumb this sounds, I just have no idea about this kind of stuff but I’m really keen to learn. Are there any posts out which really explain all of the absolute basics?

Why discarding drafts is useless for a writting community

@Pad_Pors wrote:

Continuing the discussion from No warning before destroying draft when composer is minimized:

how do I use drafts? (as well as some of our users who had already asked us to develop the Finding drafts feature):

in a topic, when I have something to say:

  • I write a bunch of paragraph,
  • if it’s well cooked, and not a fast emotional response, I press reply.
  • otherwise, I’ll minimize the reply pane, and read other topics and replies.
  • after less than a day, I usually come back to that reply and complete it: either discard it by pressing the cancel button which is already there or edit and publish it.

now, with the new UX for the composer window, when I minimize a reply, I’ll see a blue & bold line at the button of the page, and even if I go to other topics this blue line is with me!

and for sure I’d prefer to press close! but pressing close will discard my reply :frowning:

the feature request

Let the minimized blue pane only be visible in the same topic that the draft is being saved. this way if a user came back to the topic list to read a little more, nothing will disturb the reading state.

Small issue with localization

I’m seeing this when changing the security of a category.

I assume it’s an issue with localization strings (although we use the default English). Can I reset something somewhere so it picks up the new strings?

Hi ,

Currently If we want to start Group PM , we would have to enter their names on recipients area with auto fill-in option, but if it can be filled with users selection option as implemented in ( Post or Topic ) it would be great,
this will be fast other thank typing or copy/pasting users , and can add extra benefits

is there any plugin or feature for this I am missing

Smashed up UI after some period of idle

@ThisTNTSquid wrote:

OK, that is pretty self-explained. The forum is basically was in some sort of idle (no one is creating new post, no one is making any comment, and no one is even touching the settings)

Anyone out there got any idea on what is causing that and how should I fix that?

[API] In the Documentation: Wrong Key in the API Suspend

0

@Hossam_Youssef wrote:

Hello,

I have found a wrong key which used in the PUT method to suspend an account which is making the suspend action not possible.

in the api documentaion:
http://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Admin%2Fpaths%2F~1admin~1users~1{id}~1suspend%2Fput

API Request

    api_key:{{api_key}}
    api_username:{{api_username}}
    duration:2017-12-04
    reason:Reason Test Here

The expected response
Getting the account suspended:

        {
            {
            "suspension": {
                "suspended": true,
                "suspend_reason": "Reason Test Here",
                "suspended_till": "2017-12-04T00:00:00.000Z",
                "suspended_at": "2017-11-30T10:49:51.248Z"
            }
        }

The current response
Getting null value in the duration so “It suspend the account till ZERO TIME so it means UNSUPSEND”

    {
        "suspension": {
            "suspended": true,
            "suspend_reason": "Reason Test Here",
            "suspended_till": null,
            "suspended_at": "2017-11-30T10:49:51.248Z"
        }
    }

The Solution
Replace the duration key to suspend_until in the body request and it works fine! like that:

    api_key:{{api_key}}
    api_username:{{api_username}}
    suspend_until:2017-12-04
    reason:Reason Test Here

So I will appreciate if you could update this part in the API documentation. it could help others.

Thanks in advance!

How does one decide if a translation should be made?

@oiclid wrote:

Hi. I am currently considering contributing a translation to Discourse. I am however wondering if there are any guidelines towards deciding if a translation should be made or not.

I am have a good grasp of the languages I want to translate, they are both popular in my native country, at least one of them is a language you can use on both Google and Facebook (even though the Google language locale is very limited and has some funny translations). I can read and write both, my accent/pronunciation in both is good, and have a strong knowledge of idioms and proverbs, so my problem is not if I think I am capable.

Thanks in advance.

Any way to trigger a signup form when category below permission level?

@Carsten_Pleiser wrote:

Hey, I want to make certain categories view only for users that have signed up. I understand this can be achieved by category -> security settings and assigning permission levels.

At the moment, though, it shows an ugly “Access Denied :(” at the bottom when someone tries to click on the category.

How do I manage to display the login / signup form?

Favicon, Apple touch icon, ... we need some guidance

Since the latest Firefox update (57.0) bookmarks of the Fairphone Forum reverted back to this icon:

Oneboxes of links to other topics showed that symbol for a while too.

One of our admins played around a little and managed to change the bookmark icon (apple touch icon, right?) to something else, but for some reason not to the same (simple blue square as the tab-icon [favicon?]):

Here you can see the two:

As you can see the bookmark icon also displays with a white background instead of a transparent one.

He also managed to remove the gray discourse icon to display in Fairphone Forum links, but didn’t manage to change it either.

So what are we doing wrong? Which icons do we need to change and what specs do they need?

PS:
Oh and also sometimes the favicon shows up instead of the full forum logo in the top bar:

Questions About Title Badges

@maniacalmorgan wrote:

I poked around, but couldn’t find the right answers to my questions.

I see that you can edit the title badges, but I haven’t quite figured out how. As an example, both admins and moderators have the shield icon next to their name. I haven’t been able to locate where this association lives within the settings. I would like admins and moderators to have different badges since for us admins are staff while moderators are not.

Second use case might be answered by the above, but we will be introducing VIP users and as such, would like to give them a custom title badge. Is there a way to automate this? I’m not on the development side, but our discourse is connected to our platform’s back end in some way. Would it be as simple as associating a title badge with a user group and then using our back end to apply that group to all the users meeting the VIP condition?

New users via API if allow new unchecked

@Martyr2 wrote:

Hello, I was attempting to setup a new user via the API when I received an error back saying that our hosted version of discourse does “not allow new users at this time”. I discovered that the “allow new registrations” checkbox in the settings section is unchecked.

Was there a way to get around that, other than enabling the checkbox, to have new users created via the API? Something like an override or “force” flag? I am not using “approved”. Will that do what I need or is there something perhaps undocumented? I figure that if I am supplying an API key and API User that is valid, that obviously it is me who is wanting to override that feature.

Thanks!
