I'm wandering how can i login to discourse with my own Oauth2 Provider.
The situation is that I have an app as a Oauth2 provider, and other apps can use
omniauth-oauth2or my custom gem to get the info and sigh up the user. Can Discourse do so? or admin provides App ID, App Secret and Provider URL then uses these to login?

This guide is aimed at Developers who wants to set up Discourse on Ubuntu system, for hacking pleasure. In this guide we'll assume that you don't have Ruby/Rails/Postgre/Redis pre installed (set up instructions may vary, in case you have pre-installed Ruby/Rails/Postgre/Redis).
(NOTE: If you want to install Discourse for production purpose, this is the guide you are looking for: https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-deploy-discourse-on-digital-ocean-using-docker/12156)
Discourse Dependencies
Run this script, to setup Rails development environment:
bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.github.com/techAPJ/install-rails/master/linux)This will install following new packages on your system:
- Git
- rbenv
- ruby-build
- Ruby (stable)
- Rails
- PostgreSQL
- SQLite
- Redis
- Bundler
Install Phantomjs:
cd /usr/local/share sudo wget https://phantomjs.googlecode.com/files/phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-i686.tar.bz2 sudo tar xvf phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-i686.tar.bz2 sudo rm phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-i686.tar.bz2 sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-i686/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs cdNow that we have installed Discourse dependencies, let's move on to install Discourse itself.
Clone Discourse
Clone the Discourse repository in
~/discoursefolder:git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git ~/discourseSetup Database
Open psql prompt as postgre user
sudo -u postgres psql postgresCreate discourse role with discourse as password:
CREATE ROLE discourse WITH LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'discourse' CREATEDB SUPERUSER;Check that you have successfully created discourse role:
\duCreate discourse_development and discourse_test database:
CREATE DATABASE discourse_development WITH OWNER discourse ENCODING 'UTF8' TEMPLATE template0; CREATE DATABASE discourse_test WITH OWNER discourse ENCODING 'UTF8' TEMPLATE template0;Exit psql prompt by pressing ctrld
Now access psql prompt in discourse_development database as discourse user:
psql -d discourse_development -U discourse -h localhostWhen prompted for password, provide the password which you set at the time of creating role, if you followed the guide as is, the password is discourse
Run following commands, separately:
CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm; CREATE EXTENSION hstore;Exit psql prompt by pressing ctrld
Now access psql prompt in discourse_test database as discourse user:
psql -d discourse_test -U discourse -h localhostWhen prompted for password, provide the password which you set at the time of creating role, if you followed the guide as is, the password is discourse
Run following commands, separately:
CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm; CREATE EXTENSION hstore;Exit psql prompt by pressing ctrld
You have set the database setings successfully!
Bootstrap Discourse
Switch to your Discourse folder:
cd ~/discourseInstall the needed gems
bundle installBefore seeding database you will need to modify
discourse/config/database.ymlfile:Add these lines to development and test database settings:
username: discourse password: discourse host: localhost(In case you provided password other than discourse while creating role discourse, be sure to modify the file accordingly.)
Now that you have successfully configured database connection, run this command:
bundle exec rake db:migrate db:test:prepare db:seed_fuNow, try running the specs:
bundle exec rake autospecStart rails server:
bundle exec rails serverYou should now be able to connect to discourse app on http://localhost:3000 - try it out!
Access Admin
Since we do not have mail configured yet, the best way to get a working account is to sign up through Google Account:
Once you will successfully verify your Google credentials, you will have a working Discourse account.
Now, to make your account as admin, enter the following commands in rails console:
RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rails c u = User.last u.admin = true u.saveOnce you execute the above commands successfully, check out your Discourse account again:
Congratulations! You are now the admin of your own Discourse installation!
Happy hacking!

I really like the feature which gives invited people the ability to post immediately they have visit a Discourse forum.
Would it be possible to incorporate a step in the process so they get to choose their own user name before submitting their post rather than have one allocated to them on the basis of their email address?
Many people wouldn't want to use their email address as the basis of a forum user name.

We've briefly turned on IPv6 connectivity here, but it's exposed a bug in the code that causes '500 Internal Server Errors' when you visit a topic.
If you're been browsing the site recently with IPv6 and received failures when going into topics, that's probably the cause.
We'll be turning it off temporarily until we get the problem sorted.
In case you're curious:

Hi there, first, thank you for an amazing project. It's been a wonderful community catalyst for us.
First a few details about our setup:
- We recently moved from the Ubuntu 12.04 to the docker setup (although I think this issue may have happened before). We upgraded by creating a backup in the admin panel and uploading it to our new clean docker install.
- We are on Discourse 0.9.9
- We are using a digital ocean 2 GB droplet with a 1 GB swap (just in case).
- We are running Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS.
Some of our users are encountering a strange issue when creating new topics. For instance, this user posted a new topic with a hyperlink and ended up seeing this:
He was no longer able to see his post, but I was. It was not assigned a valid category, but rather a junk category that I have been trying to delete.
When I give this user admin rights he can see it OR when I re-categorize it (I have admin rights), it becomes visible to all.
Other users encountering the same issue have gotten message post failures that read "500 error" in a small modal window (sorry no screen shot). Still others have gotten this just after hitting the "create topic":
In this case, like the others, the user was unable to view the topic because it was categorized with a category that they were unable to see (he was not an admin). When I manually categorized it, everyone was able to see it.
Ultimately, from my sleuthing it seems to be some kind of problem related to a bogus category mixing with the permissions of the newer [Staff] category (we started using Discourse before that category was added).
Here are some other clues from my end.
Sidekiq is choking on lots of
category_idwhen sending email updates.I look at one of these failed posts and find it in the "staff" cateogory.
I open the strange post.
I check its category:
So my theory is that on occasion, when users are creating a new topic, this "Ghost" category (maybe it has a nil category id?) is being assigned to the topic (this happens even when the user manually selects a different category). Since this category is broken and has admin only security settings (not sure where to change that on a category I can't see ... without a manual dive into the database), the user is unable to see their new post.
Hopefully this makes some sense ...
Thanks for thinking about it with us!

When I visit a topic on my desktop and then use the back button, I am taken back to the topic list. When I do the same on mobile (Android 4.3, stock browser) I am taken to the previous page I visited before the Discourse forum.
I noticed that on mobile my URL doesn't change when I visit a topic. Itstays meta.discourse.org

I posted a topic and got a notification that it was edited by @codinghorror. Confused by not seeing any changes, I inspected the edits only to see that they were massive, but not appearing in the topic.
I double checked the topic in incognito mode just to be sure, but the original post is the one that appears. Not the version where a good 3/4 of the post was removed.
So it appears to me that either Discourse is ignoring the edit, or that the edit was reversed on second thought by @codinghorror, but is still listed as the most recent edit.

I know this isn't the most exciting topic, but I'm wondering about the possibility of integrating advertising with Discourse. I haven't seen any discussion about doing so, but I would like to use Discourse for a community I am thinking about sustaining through advertising revenues. How difficult/advisable would it be to try to integrate something like Google AdWords or another ad network into discourse?
