Create Topic button should remain on screen when scrolling

Dennis Williamson wrote:

On the main topic screen, the Create Topic button (and the "tab" buttons, for that matter) scrolls off with the topics. It would be better if it remained in the band that stays on screen (like the notification, search, etc., toolbar).

Also, the Create Topic button doesn't appear on the thread-reading screen at all.

I'm not sure whether the other buttons should stay on screen. The top band could easily get cluttered. Most (but not all?) appear in the "go to" menu anyway.

Embedding pens from CodePen

CodePen has a really nice feature that allows you to embed pens on other sites. You can paste the code they give you directly onto a static page or even in a WordPress post. At the moment, it doesn't seem possible to embed a pen in a Discourse post, but I was wondering if it could be easily enabled? I think it would be a cool feature to have. CodePen seems to be on the rise, and is a very nice way to present live, working code.

Hi.

My server have not configurated email server. It's possible to activate user via BD or bundle exec rails c production .

I tried this:

u = User.first
u.active = true
u.save

But it doesn't work. Discourse show me this message:

You can't log in yet. We previously sent an activation email to you at
XXXXXX@XXXXXXX Please follow the instructions in that email to
activate your account.

In BD, table users show field active of the user to t (true)

Thanks very much

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.

Don't collapse the logo when scrolling down

The logo is the synonym for - take me home..

I noticed that when you are inside a topic and scroll down the logo is collapsed and besides it the topic title is displayed and linked to the topic..

It's too easy to just click the topic title again (for no apparent gain because you are already on that page) but the small collapsed logo is a lot harder to click.

I guess there is enough space to not collapse the logo to give the important action (back to topics) more space than the useless action (go to the place where you are?).

17 characters are too little (minimum 15 characters)

I tried to create a topic on try.discourse.org; for the title, I type Some code here. When I type the full stop, the red box "Title must be at least 15 characters long" correctly disappears, but then clicking on the Create Topic button will still complain that 15 characters are not enough, it takes 15 characters!

I even tried with 'Some code here...', that's 17 characters, but it seems to still be less than 15 characters.

Disk access every 5 minutes

It appears that something is hitting disk every 5 minutes on my droplet:

(Yes, it is 5 minute intervals - 15:11 to 15:16 to 15:21)

From what I remember of things and stuff, I know that Redis flushes to disk every 5 minutes.

Is there anything in Discourse that could be causing this (specifically, writing to Redis all the time)? Maybe the scheduler? It would be nice for this to be fixed.

I am "fairly certain" the site is idle during these times. (aka nobody visits my forum)

What about an easier styling/theming system?

Jeff Atwood wrote:

This would really just be a "CSS generator".

How about a page that has nice color selectors and then nicely named coloring categories, like:

  • Primary background color
  • Secondary background color
  • Tertiary background color
  • Primary text color
  • Secondary text color
  • Primary link color
  • Secondary link color
  • Button background
  • Button background hover
  • Button text
  • Button text hover
  • Last poster highlight color

It doesn't need to be super detailed or advanced or able to do everything. Let people choose the colors on that page, and then click "Generate Style" which outputs a CSS page on the pre-existing Style page which they can then apply.

Most of the hours of work in theming Discourse are "replace #fff with #333, replace link colors with orange, replace #333/other dark with #ccc/other light". Having a simple styling CSS generator would get us 80% of the way there, and then we would be able to just fine-tune the colors of things.

Get notified about unanswered questions

Kenneth Lowrey wrote:

One issue I'm having with my Discourse community is unanswered questions. How can I get notified that a question has been left unanswered for X time? For example can I have a email sent to someone when a new topic has not been responded to in 4 hours?

Is there a way to assign users to a category and have them notified when a new topic is posted for a specific category? Another was of asking this question is can a user subscribe to a specific category?

Thanks

Given User Name after responding to Invite Friend invitation

Neil wrote:

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.

Discourse Architecture Description - Handlebars?

Yourbuddyconner wrote:

I'm on a team of CS students working on implementing the post archive feature on Discourse. However, we're having difficulty grasping exactly how Discourse is set up because it's not your traditional Rails application.

We're most confused about where the handlebars templates get called to be rendered. We realize that they need to be called with context in order to have the handlebars code executed, but it's unclear exactly where that context is coming from. Is any of this documented? If not, can anyone help explain what's going on?

Onebox 404 for whitelisted URLs

Hi,

I'm on Discourse v0.9.9.1. When I use a URL from a whitelisted domain it works for a few sites, but not all. For those domains where it doesn't work, I see a 404 error response in the production.log.

Here's the 404 output from production.log for the netbeans.org domain:

Started GET "/onebox?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforums.netbeans.org%2Ftopic60129.html&refresh=false" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-04-16 00:27:40 +0000

  Rendered text template (0.1ms)
Completed 404 Not Found in 497ms (Views: 1.7ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)

This is how a 200 response looks from the same post, also a whitelisted onebox domain:

Started GET "/onebox?url=http%3A%2F%2Fstackoverflow.com%2Fquestions%2F10700460%2Fhow-is-trello-iphone-app-developed&refresh=false" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-04-16 00:38:10 +0000

  Rendered text template (0.0ms)
Completed 200 OK in 6ms (Views: 1.8ms | ActiveRecord: 0.1ms)

I can't see a major difference between the two scenarios, other than https and the subdomain. Are https and a wildcard subdomain supported?

Allow TL4 users to see mod flags?

Will wrote:

TL4 users are granted moderator powers, minus the ability to approve users and to see moderator flags. The former makes sense to me, but the latter seems like it would help them contribute to the chore of moderating a community much more effectively.

My own use case: I have a closed forum, and users must be approved to join. However, there's an out-of-band approval process that new members must go through, and it is best if not all moderators can approve users in order to ensure that they have actually gone through the approval process and have been vetted and whatnot. However, the forum still needs people to assist in post management so I'm using TL4 for that. However, they can't see flags for posts despite having the ability to move, delete, etc.

Category custom ordering

Justin Haglund wrote:

I see the wrench icon at /categories to modify the order of the categories. However, this does not seem to impact the dropdown menus at All Categories> and the hamburger. I assume these are probably ordered by number of posts, but I would prefer to have them respect custom ordering (uncategorized is currently second in the list above other important categories). Additionally, I cannot for the life of me find a way to order the subcategories. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Categories view constantly resorting

Brian Gillespie wrote:

Discourse seems to rearrange the categories on http://meta.discourse.org/categories based on activity. I find this contrary to my perceived goal of the page: to make it easy to find what's going on in each category.

Consider that I'm a guy who likes to keep up on UX and DEV, but don't care about the rest. It'd be really handy if I could rely on Discourse to keep those two sections in the same place on the screen - that way I could easily find and use them.

When the categories move around, it forces me to read and think every single time I view the page. Reading and thinking slows me down, and gives me the feeling that I'm not really in control of the task at hand. Think how much of a pain it would be if "Latest | New | Unread | Read | Favorited | Categories" moved around every time the page reloaded!
