I’m trying to log in as an admin and I keep getting the message ‘You can’t login from that IP address’. I admittedly hadn’t logged in in a while and tried to have another team member reset my login and she is getting the same error. We both use latest version of Chrome and are on Macs.

Thanks,

How to YOUTUBE video channel

G’day

I am not sure where to post this. Please do move this to the correct category, if applicable.

I am going to make a YOUTUBE channel full of v. short videos on how to do things in our discourse forum. Like, how to use all the cool functions when replying, or explaining the trust levels built into the forum. It will be public and tailored to our website but likely, useful for many discourse forums. The more that use it the merrier.

I would be happy to mention discourse in the videos and in the channel title, but want to know if discourse management would be cool with that. It might be good advertising for Discourse but then again I am an not an employee of discourse or officially endorsed by discourse. So any guidance from discourse forum staff on this would be most appreciated and I will be sure to respect whatever you feel is appropriate.

Sincerely,
Blu

Migrate from Ghost to Wordpress with discourse comments

I have been using discourse comments on my Ghost blog for a while, now I decided to migrate over to wordpress and that is all done. All of the new posts have the same URL as before.

My question is what about all the existing discussions for posts, if I push all the new wordpress posts to discourse will it create duplicate posts, or merge the two together?

Worst case, I can not push the old posts to my discourse forum, but then no comments will show up on the acual old posts… But I was hoping there was a way to do this.

Going forward with new posts its no problem to get the WP-Discourse plugin working as it should…

Advanced editor?

Hello! :wave:

edit: already found something… sorry… (GitHub - iunctis/discourse-formatting-toolbar: Add formatting options on your post (center, align to right, justify a text, etc.))

Is there a more advanced text editor (plugin) then the built-in one? It doesn’t allow us to make more complicated stuff, like colored text, centered text, etc. I know this is possible with HTML, bbcode, markdown and such, but it would be much easier if there was just a simple button for it.

Regards,

Hiding User Emails

Hey there,

I’m apart of a team that runs the Discourse software for a simple gaming community. We like to select moderators to help out, however we found out that all user emails are completely public to the level of moderators which is a huge privacy issue for us. What steps can we take to restrict seeing emails to only a select trust level if any?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Continuing the discussion from Categories in "top menu"?:

I’d like to do just this - display a link to a staff category on the top menu. But I only want to show it to staff with access to a secure staff discussions category - other members or public without access should not see it. Is it possible?

Managing a Troll

I have a troll problem… or rather, one particular person who’s using TOR browsers and complex VPNs to register “burner email addresses” (he’s clearly an IT person) to our forum and we’re banning him maybe two to three times a day.

He’s so well-known in our community that he’s become sort of a bad meme… his first account was “Hans” and so people now say “Are you pulling a ‘hans’?” …!

Anyway, I suppose there’s really nothing we can do except wait for fatigue to set in and for him to self-select himself out and to stop trolling… but he’s one persistent… troll.

Thoughts? Or is my solution only to hope that he eventually gives up?

Viewing a user's suspension history

30%20PM
I can click on two of these three headings (flagged posts or deleted posts) to see the relevant posts for this user.

  1. It would be intuitive for the users suspension history to be listed if that heading is clicked, but it’s not clickable. Is this intentional or an oversight?

  2. Formal warnings could be listed as a 4th clickable item.

CDN causes white screen

White screen often happens to my site with CDN. And clearing CDN cache manually can solve the problem. Does anybody run into the same problem?

The errors in browser Console is like ‘unexpected token’ or something like that. I just recovered from the problem by clearing cache and regrettably didn’t take a screenshot.

Confusing "Post can't be empty"

@PinoBatch wrote:

I get this from discobot:

Excellent! Now you can easily find your way back to our private conversation any time, right from the bookmarks tab on your profile [link to private Discourse instance redacted]. Just select your profile picture at the upper right :arrow_upper_right:

Next, can you share one of these links with me? Reply with a link on a line by itself , and it’ll automatically expand to include a nifty summary.

To copy a link, tap and hold on mobile, or right click your mouse:

A user not familiar outside Discourse with the right-click function ends up dragging over the text to select it and clicking Reply. Because Discourse quotes what the user has selected, this produces markup similar to the following, which does have the link on its own line.

[quote="discobot, post:5, topic:4xxx"]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_spelling
[/quote]

However, attempting to submit this reply produces an error message “Post can’t be empty”.

Fifteen minutes later:

Hey @username, just checking in because I haven’t heard from you in a while.

  • To continue, reply to me any time.

User replies, not including a link because the last time the user tried to include a link, an error message blocked the post from going through.

Discobot replies:

Sorry, I couldn’t find the link in your reply! :cry:

Can you try adding the following link, on its own line, in your next reply?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotic_Shorthair

User again drags across the URL to select it and clicks “Reply”. Again, “Post can’t be empty”.

Is it desirable to make this flow more understandable for users who are not already familiar with the right mouse button, such as users of Mac computers, or for users who are not aware of the rule that the reply button quotes the selected text yet the user must add something outside the quotation?

Tags that are visible to specific tiers

@Mister_Leroy wrote:

This should be my last question as I appreciate ive asked a few of late! I hope I’m not an annoyance.

I’ve googled and checked here to no avail before committing to this post.

I’m looking to find out if there is a way to have a tag that only a certain tier can both apply to a topic and see.

Example use: basic user reports a bug about our product. They tag it with ‘bug’. We’re looking for a way to show other t4 members that the topic has entered our bug tracking software from the category view by means of a ‘raised’ or ‘processed’ tag, visible only to the t4 (and above) members.

Yes you might suggest a tag that all users can see would be the most open way to deal with this but in video games there are certain behaviours (entitlement being one) that would make a tag seen by all be confirmation that their report is guaranteed to be resolved when this is not always going to be the case and a tag they could see might only push that entitlement further.

Thanks!

Discourse masonry gallery theme component

$

@lll wrote:

A theme component to that creates responsive grid galleries in topics if the markup matches a certain pattern.

Repo: GitHub - hnb-ku/discourse-masonry-gallery

Samples:

Desktop:

tablet:

Mobile:
click for full size


About

This theme component does not have any color / background styles in it. It will inherit the current theme’s styles.

Here’s the theme component running on a different theme:

This theme component also maintains the default Discourse lighbox behavior, this means that clicking any of the images will open them in the native lightbox viewer


Usage

This being a theme component (as opposed to being a plugin) my options were a bit limited.

If the html structure follows this pattern

<div dir="rtl">
<!-- line break-->
![nice house|529x500]![another house|830x500] <!-- uploaded images... -->
</div>

What this means is that if you want to create a grid gallery in a topic you add:

<div dir="rtl">

and then a add a line break using Enter

and then upload the images in bulk using the default Discourse uploader

and then close the div by adding

</div>

below your images. The rest is automatic.


If your app uses a right-to-left language, you can use the opposite version. or <div dir="ltr"> and the rest is the same


This theme will not have ANY effect on lightboxs that don't match the pattern above.

How does it work?

Most the weight lifting is done by the Discourse upload process, this is complimented by David Desandro’s Masonry and ImagesLoaded libraries - ( MIT license )

I ended up binding the script to the ajaxComplete thanks to @Mittineague’s :sunflower: help here:

I realize it’s a bit blunt but it’s the only thing I managed to get working consistently in topic pages


TODO

Help appreciated if any of this is possible under site customization:

1- white list a class for the gallery instead of the dir hack I’m using now.

2- :x: add a button to the composer - (Thank you @Dax for the script and @cpradio for the translation fix )

3- find a less blunt way to fire the script consistently in topic pages (api.onPageChange does not work for me when loading topic pages but works great in the topic list)

I convert all my Q&A data from wordpress https://transit.travel/ to discourse. the conversion completed and all data transferred.
But I faced two issues:

  • all tags becomes as category in Discourse and I can not delete theme even after moving all the topics in these categories.


    all categories in above the screenshot does not have any topic. but the number is not updated
    Is there anyway (or command) to update these numbers ?
  • Users counted numbers also didn’t change and shows as zeros.
    Is there any command to Update counters in Discourse?

I tried to rebuild discourse but the numbers still same.

Custom avatars not showing when user is quoted

@merefield wrote:

Guys,

I am having an issue where avatars are missing where you’ve quoted someone in a post. It seems to only fail for custom avatars, out of the box ones are fine.

On investigating I noticed ‘:80’ being added to the end of each domain in the image URL. When I copied a failed image’s URL into a new browser tab and removed the :80 the avatar loaded fine. So seems port 80 is being blocked?

What is going wrong? Why is port 80 being used within the URL and how best to resolve this?

Interestingly when you go and edit your post, the images in the preview work fine - they are missing the ‘:80’.

Apologies for my lack of knowledge!

Thanks!

Hi there,

We have a discourse forum and a slack and would love to invite people to our slack only when they have reached trust level 2.

I would love to be able to automically send a DM once someone reaches trust level 2 with an invitation link to slack. How can I configure this in Discourse?

Best,

I’m not sure whether this should be considered a bug but it’s inconsistent so..

At the moment, users can add [spoiler][/spoiler] (with no hidden text) to their posts in order to bypass the min post length that’s been set for a site - & our users are doing this.

Characters from quotes of other posts aren’t counted towards the post’s length so this seems inconsistent.
