Hello,

I have a problem with setting up Discourse forum with Letsencrypt SSL cert. For the sake of example, I will refer to my page as mypage.com.

THE GOAL:

I want to set up VPS where I will have wordpress blog working on blog.mypage.com, landingpage on mypage.com and Discourse forum on forum.mypage.com. I want to use nginx with mariadb and have Letsencrypt SSL certs installed.

THE PROBLEM:

When I enter the forum.mypage.com for the first time with “fresh” browser (cookies and history deleted, new profile) in chrome I have an error

“This site can’t provide a secure connection
forum.mypage.com sent an invalid response.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR”

With FIrefox, nothing happens - the window is blank and page is not loading.

However, if I go to mypage.com FIRST, everything works as expected and if I THEN enter forum.mypage.com, the DISCOURSE FORUM LOADS WITHOUT PROBLEM.

THE SETUP:

Digital Ocean DNS settings are configured properly, i.e. they redirect mypage.com, www.mypage.com, blog.mypage.com, www.blog.mypage.com, forum.mypage.com and www.forum.mypage.com to my VPS IP. (A record). Record for mailgun are also set properly, as I receive registarion mails from my Discourse installation.
I use Ubuntu 16.04 DigitalOcean droplet where I installed newest stable versions of nginx 1.12.2, php 7.2.2 and mariadb 10.2.13 from maintainers PPAs. 2GB swap file is enabled as requested for Discourse.
I installed certbot using instructions from https://certbot.eff.org/. I used syntax certbot --nginx -d mypage.com,www.mypage.com,blog.mypage.com,www.blog.mypage.com,forum.mypage.com,www.forum.mypage.com
Here is my configuration files:

Hello all,

I wondered if it possible to have categories where users can see the category, but they can’t see posts within unless they are of a certain group?

The use case is a large membership site which has multiple interest groups or regional groups which would be organised by category - people may not know the interest group exists if they can’t see the category, and the idea being they would then request access and be approved, then being able to view all the posts within.

I’ve tried searching but not coming up with answers, possibly using the wrong phrases!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Discourse team,

Sometimes replies below WP Posts are very long. This is great content when reading directly in Discourse, but sometimes too much to handle to show below a WP Post. It can almost look kinda spammy.

I would like to suggest to limit the length of the reply and show a link to continue reading the reply on Discourse.

Suggested settings in Wordpress plugin:

Thanks for listening and looking forward to your reply.

Hi,

Users regulary upload images to enrich their Discourse replies. Which is great content!

These images are shown in the replies below the WP Posts as well. However, they can get quite out of hand. Users do not compress images, can upload quite a lot of images and this affects loading times of the page and thus SEO negatively.

I would like to suggest to remove images below WP Posts and just show a link to the uploaded image. Or: show a link to continue reading the reply (and check out the images) in Discourse.

This way the replies just work like a textual preview of what’s to read more directly in Discourse?

Thanks for listening. I hope my suggestion is of any help to improve the Wordpress plugin. Looking forward to your reply.

Hello,
I think there is still no similar topic as mine. I would like to have a feature that allows me as admin/mod to delete the posts BUT the regular users would have the chance to click on the removed post and see it if they want. So I have a long story discussion under one topic but there are some posts not worth to be seen so I delete them but anyone can still if they wish to see what’s behind it.

For example. I see something not ok, I edit it and then delete. Regular user can have the same option as me mod/admin to “show hidden messages” but of course WITHOUT options to get it back.

Is there a way to somehow ‘share’ the privilege with ACL (access control list)-like option to do it?

Thank you,

G’day,

I have no clue how crazy this sounds as an idea to look into. I wasn’t able to find what I wanted to know with the search terms I used. Feel free to direct me to topics, if applicable. Thanks in advance.

Here goes . . .

We’d like to watch live-streamed town council meetings while chatting in the forum in the Babble - A Chat Plugin.

Is there any way to embed that live streaming video into a discourse forum topic so people can access it easily while chatting in the forum chat window?

If not, I am trying to think of the most efficient and tech-friendly way to go . . . the chat would be conducted in the forum chat channel, and we could start a topic with a link to the live streamed meeting. I imagine in that case, people would make thoughtful comments as replies to the topic while being more ad lib in the chat channel . . .

@vinothkannans I have now upgraded and started testing the new feature allowing staff to tag personal messages. I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time and it’s looking good so far! Nice work.

Some things I noticed:

maybe a bug - the tags used by staff in PMs show up in the /tags list, also for regular (and anonymous) users. If a user doesn’t have permission to see tagged messages or topics the tag should not be visible at all to that user. (this is, btw, the case in the tags pulldown search - in my test the tag did not show up there)

there is no UI for getting to PM tags and lists of PMs that have a particular tag, except via the link below the message title when looking at a message or message lists. Intuition tells me there should be a https://meta.discourse.org/messages/tags and/or https://meta.discourse.org/u/tobiaseigen/messages/tags page

there is no bulk action available for PMs to bulk change/append tags which would be hugely helpful to staff trying to get organized with handling a backlog of messages. There are other bulk actions that would also be very handy to have (e.g. bulk delete, bulk assign, bulk solve, bulk add/remove user or group from message, etc).

I don’t know if it’s possible to have staff only tags, ideally organized into tag groups for easy management and for limiting who can see them - if so can someone show me how to set this up?

Our Google login provider has the following code:

    EmailToken.confirm(user.email_tokens.first.token)
    user.set_automatic_groups
  end
end
Specifically, user.set_automatic_groups ensures that automatic group rules are applied to the user. This function is not called by our other auto providers, including GitHub, Facebook, and Twitter. We should ensure that all social login provider call user.set_automatic_groups, or that the call is extracted to a shared function that all providers use.

I am adding this as a feature topic because I don’t see it in hte admin settings anywhere. Until all the wonderful work being done to PM tagging has settled down, I think it would be very helpful to many communities to be able to limit access to the /tags page which displays all the tags currently. This includes staff tags and internal tags for private categories, which just adds clutter and confusion for members.

Is hiding or limiting access to /tags something that can be done already, or an admin setting you’d be willing to add?

Update: to give you a sense of the issue I’m talking about, take a look at Global Legal Empowerment Network Community Discussions which currently shows anonymous users a bunch of tags that appear to be used for many topics but then when you click through you see nothing. Like birthday, techupdate, procedure, teamwide-call in screenshot below. I’d like these to only be visible to staff or to the topics in categories they have been used in. (we’ve talked about this here before but I have not yet been able to find the topic…)

Just one little thing is eluding me. I store the user’s balance in a user custom_field, updating the balance when a payment is made. When a user creates a pinned topic, the balance is reduced. All works fine.

What I’d like to do is to hide the “Pinned” checkbox on the Composer if the user’s balance is zero or insufficient.

However, I can’t find an easy way to access the user custom_field from within the composer connector .js.es6 file

Current code (not working):
import { showTxns } from 'discourse/plugins/stripe/discourse-plugin-stripe/lib/txns';
import { getOwner } from 'discourse-common/lib/get-owner';

export default {
    shouldRender(args, component) {
        // FIXME not working
        const balance = component.currentUser.custom_fields["stripe_txn_balance"];
        const fee = component.siteSettings.stripe_plugin_fee;
        return balance >= fee;
    }
};
Do I need to make a call to the “store” (i.e. the backend) to query the custom_field?

Would appreciate your help.

In the context of a message in a support category, whispers should be visible and usable by all users who have access to the support category. This means that in some cases non-moderators may have access to the whisper feature.

Whisper works everywhere, but whisper functionality is staff only.

@sam Can you confirm that this is the case, or did the original idea survive? I think that might be an interesting idea.

@tobiaseigen wrote:

I spent some time exploring tags today, and came across a few UX issues.

Firstly, are tag groups designed so that each tag can be in multiple tag groups? If not, could it be an admin setting to enforce this?

Then if so, it would help if the filter used when adding tags to a tag group excluded any tags that are already in a tag group. Right now it appears to only exclude tags used for the current tag group you are managing.

It would be so nice to have UI for assigning a tag to a tag group from the tag edit page. Right now you can only rename the tag but it would be helpful to be able to change the tag group from there.

I had multiple browser tabs open as a result, which led to another issue. I was adding tags to a tag group, and then realized I wanted to rename a tag that I had had already added. I renamed it in another tab. The old tag name was still listed as part of the tag group and I was able to add the new one.

And finally, this is still happening:

Can't delete a tag group if it has no member feature

If a tag group has no tags in it, it can’t be deleted. To delete it, you have to add a tag first.
