Indication of disabled badges in admin overview

I’ve disabled and replaced most of the default badges.
In my admin-badge overview, there is no indication which are disabled; this makes it hard to find the one you’re looking for.

A visual indication of status would be great, I suggest either a strikethrough (makes it hard to read, but I don’t think that’s too bad), using a lighter font color or indicating with a cross in front of the badge.

Hello,
is there some way, maybe due a CSS hack, to hide the “uncategorized” category?
This category is disabled by default. It has no content and couldn’t be removed at all.

if this is in the wrong category i’m sorryI was browsing a forum today and noticed that it said that a user had posted on Oct 19. So I went on the activity and the latest was Dec 7, 2016. I was a member before Oct 16 and the user in question was suspended then. They also hadn’t been seen since Dec 7, 2016. What was this mysterious post?

I’ve had multiple reports of images appearing twice when copy/pasted into the composer window. Both of the reports are in Chrome on Windows (both v7 and v10).

I’ve not been able to reproduce this myself.

In the most recent report, the resulting raw markup is this:

Something falsely triggering poll creation error following Discobot tutorial

@pfaffman wrote:

I have a client who has several users who are being told that they cannot create polls when following the Discobot tutorial, even though they are not creating a poll. I can’t replicate it, but it sounds like they are getting to some point in the tutorial as level 0 and their response is triggering the “you can’t create a poll” message. Replying to Discobot with a URL in the first line gives the error "You are not allowed to create polls."
It sounds like if the user is TL1 then the problem goes away. I tried to replicate on try and failed. They’re running Discourse 1.9.0.beta15 - GitHub - discourse/discourse: A platform for community discussion. Free, open, simple. version 995bf3c84eecc89919cc2efc95537259a3a75b7b.

The Trust Level settings are all at default values.

Here’s what the user said:

EDIT: I really should have upgraded before trying to replicate this. . .

Logout via API doesn't work consistently

I’m using the API to log users out of Discourse from our main app, but it only works intermittently. I’m sending a POST request to /admin/users/{user_id}/log_out?api_username={api_user}&api_key={api_key}, and I always receive a 200 OK response, but sometimes the user is not logged out.

Sometimes I get 403 errors (shown below), but refreshing a few times causes the page to load again, and sometimes I don’t even get 403 errors and I can access content as though I never logged out.

“log out strict” is enabled, but this occurs whether or not this setting is enabled.

Wording for private/secure categories

@alehandrof wrote:

We have a lot of groups that map to private categories.

Up until now I used to call them “closed groups” and tried to disguise the difference between groups and categories. As you can imagine, that’s created a lot of confusion on my system.

I’m throwing in the towel. I plan to call groups just “groups” (which is confusing by itself because some of these are “committees”, others are “interest groups”, etc.). But I’m not sure what to call private categories.

I think @tobiaseigen uses the term “secure categories”, which I like because it sounds safe and authoritative. But it’s an unusual term that I haven’t seen used elsewhere, so I’m concerned it might confuse/dissuade users.

“Private categories” is a decent term, but I’m afraid it might create confusion with “private messages”, which can also be sent to groups.

Any other ideas? If you have a similar arrangement, what do you call them?

Need to update my discobot message

Moving posts returns 502 bad gateway

Select all messages in a long topic, then deselect the first one, and you will lose your selection

Reproduction steps.

Step 1. Open a long topic with > 100 messages:

Step 2. Select ALL messages (use wrench). It will say, e.g. 100 messages selected:

Step 3. De-select the first message. Now it says: 19 messages selected:

I suppose that’s because only 20 messages are loaded initially on the page, and when you deselect one message, there are 19 messages remaining.

Now, if you proceed further and move the messages, only 19 messages will be moved.

Digest email to be sent on schedule only

@meglio wrote:

For slower VPS servers and bigger number of community members, sending digest emails may clutter sidekiq jobs queue.

Combined with a possibly slow SMTP server and hight user activity at peak hours, this may lead to sidekiq get stuck, which will affect user “notifications” experience.

I’d like to propose a setting to control during which hours sending queued digest emails can be executed.

For many communities residing in a single country (e.g. Australia) or a single region (e.g. Europe), there will always be some period of time when user activity goes down considerably, e.g. 2am to 4:30am. This will be good time for non-important jobs like sending digest emails.

P.S. I realise hardware is much cheaper than software, so “buy better hardware instead of asking us to program this feature” will be a reasonable answer. Still, no harm in asking :slight_smile:

Trigger search onclick (hashtags)

$

@lll wrote:

Preface: this does not feel like it’s within the scope of Discourse. That’s why I opted for uncategorized.

Background:

If you start a word with # (hashtag) in Discourse you get a small menu that’s populated with categories. For example I can start typing #un then I can select #uncategorized and a link to that category is automatically added.

The output html is:

<a href="/c/17-uncategorized" class="hashtag">#<span>uncategorized</span></a>

However, if you continue to type and not select anything from the menu, something else happens.
For example if I type #uneven and then continue to type normally, the word is rendered with different html.

in the composer preview:

<span class="hashtag hashtag-tested tag-hashtag-tested">#uneven</span>

in the cooked post / reply:

<span class="hashtag">#uneven</span>

Note that the <span> wraps around the entire term and is unclickable.


In essence, Discourse does a wonderful job of recognizing hashtags, so I’m wondering if that can be built upon in the form of a plugin.

The concept:

With hashtag recognition out of the way,

could we not trigger a search when a hashtag is clicked that only returns the latest exact matches for the entire contents of the <span>? There’s no need for anything extra, just a native search operation with parameters (?)

Something along the lines of:

$("span.hashtag").on("click", function() {
	// do something
});

Combined with a little bit of CSS like so:

span.hashtag {
	cursor: pointer;
	color:  /* link color */
}

span.hashtag:hover {
	color:  /* link hover color */
}

to create basic hashtag functionality in Discourse. It seems feasible - again, in the form of a plugin - but there maybe limitations I am unaware of.

What do you think?

Deleting a user vs suspending?

I’m surprised that “delete user” comes up instead of “suspend”. If I delete them, since they aren’t suspended, they can just come back right?

Generally when I catch a spammer, I’d assume suspend/ban would make more sense :stuck_out_tongue: but I’m going to guess I’m missing something I’m not understanding.

Hi,

I’m noticing a weird behavior in Discourse. Smileys in some of our “old” posts are displayed as text and not smileys.

(I don’t know if it’s related, but we moved from a .net domain to .com and finally from http to https)

I tried to edit/save some older posts but I can’t still get see the proper smileys.

Any ideas?

Improve indication of user's group membership

@alehandrof wrote:

When looking at the list of groups (and we have many!) there is no indication which groups you belong to:

I belong in both of these groups, but I wouldn’t know it by looking at the list.

For open groups, there’s a join/leave button that implies your membership. But that doesn’t work for closed groups, which use the disabled button shown above.

There should be a general indication on the group list of which groups you belong to.

Relatedly, the list of groups on a user’s profile is no good either:

Not only does it use the username (which are cryptic in our case), but the when the list is long it’s hard to parse. It’s not even in alphabetical order!

Ideas?

Edit: there’s also no way to quickly see for which groups you are not just a member, but an owner.

Automatic actions for tags

@erlend_sh wrote:

In a similar vein as Automatic Actions based on Words found in posts, I’d love it if some tags could have simple automated actions attached to them.

Lately we’ve been closing quite a few #pr-welcome topics, which is fantastic! But I’ve been running after every closed topic to remove the pr tag so that it stops appearing in the list of tasks up for grabs.

So the rule for #pr-welcome would be very simple: IF topic is closed THEN remove this tag.

I consider this super low priority, just wanted to log this idea.
