Allow admins to view all Trust Level promotions

We already have a way to see progression requirements to Trust Level 3 from the admin panel, but we don’t have access to anything else.

I think it would be beneficial for (at least) admins to see promotion progress from all trust levels to all other trust levels.

We can do this manually, but the framework exists and this would pretty much just be a good quality of life feature. Would this be possible?

Hi,

Well, Discourse has a powerful notification email system. I have to modify them one by one. I want to add a port number following the domain, so people receiving the email sent by my Discourse site would be able to access the link. I use dynamic DNS, so a port number must follow the domain number. (80 port has been blocked)

Replace backslash escape only in old posts after import

I’ve imported a forum where we made heavy use of this combination of characters
\%
which is now reduced to the percent sign due to markdown (?) processing
% (I’ve also used the backslash here, but omitted the code ticks)

Is there a way to

  1. exclude the \% combination from being processed in a special way, or
  2. to replace the \% combination to \\% but only for post-import posts?

Thanks for any pointers.

Quick question. Does anyone know when/under what circumstance the welcome message comes up for new members?

Specifically, I am referring to customize–>text content–> system_messages.usage_tips.text_body_template.

Thanks in advance!

[Background: I am trying to see how my images (inserted with html into the welcome template) look by opening a new user account and viewing the welcome message.]

Hello. I have a website forum.medikalbulut.org with lastest [v2.0.0.beta3 +12] Discourse version on Digitalocean.

forum.medikalbulut.org I am trying to move that subdomain to http://medikalbulut.org

How can I redirect all URLs to new domain? I search a lot but I cant find a solution.

For example I found a code for Apache web server. How can I use that htaccess code as below:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum\.medikalbulut\.org$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.forum\.medikalbulut\.org$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "https\:\/\/medikalbulut\.org\/$1" [R=301,L]

I mean, when click these kind of all old subdomain https://forum.medikalbulut.org/c/evde-bakilan-hastalar I want to redirect to new domain automatically https://medikalbulut.org/c/evde-bakilan-hastalar.

Can you help? Thank you.

Contributor Interviews – David Taylor

@erlend_sh wrote:

Every week(-ish), we’ll be posting an interview with one of our many beloved contributors here on Meta. Find them all in #user-interviews. This week:

David Taylor @David_Taylor

Tell us a bit about yourself!

From Surrey, UK (just south of London). Currently living in Nottingham, UK.

I’m in my final year of a degree in Physics at the University of Nottingham. I take a particular interest in how software is used in physics teaching and research. For example, my project last year was to produce a working large-scale model of an Atomic Force Microscope using “consumer” electronics (LEGO Mindstorms, Arduino etc.). At the moment I’m working on producing a simple replica of “Hawk-Eye” to track a ball in 3D space using cheap consumer cameras.

How did you first find out about Discourse?

I found out about Discourse when a member of our community proposed it as a replacement for our old phpBB forum.

What are you using Discourse for?

I am a member of “TEC PA and Lighting”, a group within my University Students Union. We use Discourse to communicate online: organising events, socials, training, and just general chatter. Switching to Discourse has given a much more modern feel to our forum, along with useful new features such as the “Discourse Solved” plugin and social login.

How did you get so involved in the Meta community?

I first visited Meta to get help with migrating from our old phpBB forum. After we finished migrating, our users were missing the “Who’s Online” feature of phpBB. As no plugin existed, I started reading about plugin development. The result of that is the discourse-whos-online plugin.

From there I started developing more plugins and occasionally contributing small things to the core product. Earlier this year I had the opportunity to work on Discourse as part of the Google Summer of Code programme. My project was the Chatroom Integration Plugin, which you can read about on my blog here.

What compels you to contribute to Discourse?

There’s a great community building up around Discourse, which definitely revolves around Meta. There are always people willing to help out with questions on everything from programming to community management. Contributing code is a great way to get feedback from other developers, and ultimately improve my programming skills.

Tell us about a non-Discourse community that you’re involved in!

I regularly help out on the technical side of things in the Nottingham New Theatre, the student-run theatre on my University campus. We put on a show every week during term, with full lighting and sound design for all of them. We also have a number of online systems, many of which are open source on GitHub.

What kind of significance does the open source movement have to you?

The open source movement is a great source of knowledge for new programmers. I think contributing to open source is the best way to develop programming skills: not only does it teach the essentials of making software work, but also best practices to make that software reliable, maintainable, and documented for future users/developers.

Working on the Chatroom Integration plugin required me to ask questions in the communities of other open source projects - it was great to see just how willing people are to donate their time to helping out strangers.

What has been the greatest challenge in learning about Discourse and its community?

I think the biggest challenge in learning about Discourse (both using and developing) is the lack of documentation. The #howto categories are not nicely structured, and often out of date. You have to know exactly what to search for to find information. This is very clear from the volume of support requests that are solved simply by providing the user with an appropriate link to #howto. I really like the idea here, but obviously that was abandoned long ago.

Any ideas on how to improve the Meta community?

We encourage respondents to speak candidly on this topic. Even if no sensitive information was discussed, answers will always be presented in a short list.

  • There’s a fine line between brevity and rudeness. Sometimes this line is very blurry on Meta.

  • More communication in moderator actions: Prefer timers instead of instantly closing resolved topics. Include reasoning wherever applicable.

Any advice to future contributors?

Start with plugins. They let you explore the inner workings of Discourse without being overwhelmed with the massive volume of code!

Don’t be afraid to make a pull request, even if you’re not sure you’ve done things correctly. My first pull request to Discourse didn’t get merged. I listened to feedback from Sam and Jeff, and eventually produced a pull request that did get merged.

You can use zero width spaces to make a (seemingly) five character title

Hi. This isn’t really a bug (or a problem, really), and I don’t see any other categories which make sense to me. So I’d appreciate it if someone can tell me where to put it. Thank you.


You can get past the character limit of titles by using zero width spaces (​).

This means that you can use something like “​​​​​​​​​​​q wer” as a title, and it would work because it’s technically 18 characters.

Here’s an example:



(@JonnyGamer’s Topic. I made one a few weeks ago, but changed the title)

EDIT: You can also do a similar thing with replies. I did that in this topic.


Sorry if I shouldn’t have made this topic.

How to reactive the Bootstrap mode?

@Carlo wrote:

Hi everyone, sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn’t find any answer.

I have imported a previous forum to Discourse, which was inactive for a while.
As a result, the Bootstrap mode turned off as I reach 50 users quickly ( most of them are inactive).

I tried to raise the “bootstrap mode min users” in settings to 120… but no luck.

What should I do ? Thanks

Reply indicator

I’m not sure if this is a bug, or if I’ve just never paid enough attention to the reply indicator:

I thought that hitting the “reply” at the bottom of a user’s post (not a quote, just a reply) resulted in my reply having that user avatar in the top right corner of my reply, and that hitting the reply button at the bottom of the topic doesn’t indicate who I am replying to, as it is a reply to the topic as a whole.

Doesn’t seem to work like that on our forum:

Hello!

I’ve received several messages from our forum members complaining about receiving automated message stating they’ve posted “25% of the messages on this thread”.

Does anyone know how I can stop this? Do I need to change this in the settings somewhere?

Would appreciate any form of help on this.

Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:
