I am currently trying to move a Discourse Instance from one server to another, but the import of the backup fails. Both instances are Docker installs of the same Version (20180227161818).

From there on, everything goes south. Tons of invalid command \N lines and other errors that look like psql is trying to interpret post contents as commands (ERROR: syntax error at or near "aber" / LINE 1: aber wenn das Tee ist, bringe mir bitte Kaffee. Eine Vorteil...).

According to ./launcher enter app / psql --version, both instances run the same psql version.

I guess the offending line is

[2018-03-07 10:13:52] ERROR:  function "raise_read_only" already exists with same argument types

and everything else are follow-up errors.

I get the same result if I try to restore via the web interface or with ./launcher enter app / discourse restore

Any hints?

More and more I run into Discourse installs in the wild. Which is great of course. Only to be greeted by ye olde @discobot every time and have to go through the tutorial. Yes I can skip parts. But wouldn’t it be nice to have a stop option so you can cancel the tutorial whenever you want?
Yes, new users will also be able to stop this, but is that any different then them ignoring the Discobot? At least you might get some more insights on what percentage actually stops the bot at what moment. This might give you insights on how to improve it.

I installed Ubuntu on my PC rather than screwing around. I followed this install

I seemed to get everything installed then failed on “bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate”

It complains about redis

"Failed to report error: Error connecting to Redis on localhost:6379 " and a bunch of other stuff.

My questions are whether any other installs are needed but not mentioned and whether I had to use sudo to install gems. I got an error saying I didn’t have permission unless I used sudo.

Now I think there might have been a step I missed where I tell it to install into my home directory where I have permission. But I don’t see anything on that instruction page.

If I have to delete all the sudo installed gems how do I do that? Just rm a directory tree? This is a fresh install of ubuntu.

Thanks!

Hello,

A user has asked to leave our Community, and wants all their posts removed. They’ve been a Community member for a few years, so have a large number of posts and topics created.

I can overrule the ‘max post delete’ options in the admin, but I wanted to sense check the next steps. If anyone else has any experience of this, it’d be great.

Unfortunately the user has turned down the option to simply anonymise the account, so we’re having to do a full deletion.

Am I right in thinking that this will also delete all the topics the user has made, even if they contained posts by other users? Is there any way to avoid this, beyond manually reassigning all of their topics to another account?

And is there anything else that might break during this process?

Thanks.

This evening, the private message list page on my forum stopped working for me and at least one other user (possibly everyone).

ABFC9D9C-8AD0-4D7D-933D-6DB9225494BD.jpg1125x2436 170 KB

I have tried /safe-mode (everything disabled) and the problem persists.

I’m concerned this might be related to an earlier action I took.

A long term user PMed to ask me to remove them from the forum. I first anonymised them, then deleted all their posts (100+, including PMs), and then I deleted their account.

Could this perhaps be related to the issue I’m seeing on the PM page?

Is there any kind of ghost data (particularly around PMs from deleted users) that linger and affect the call to load PM data from the server?

There’s nothing obviously related in my server error logs (as visible from the admin dashboard). Some errors thrown by the ettiquette plugin and the events plugin, which I believe are unrelated.

Apologies for the lack of diagnostic info / repro at this stage. I’m currently on my way home from work and will provide all the info I can when I get back to my laptop. I will also try recreating this issue on another forum instance.

New features in 2.0.0.beta4

Two Factor Authentication via TOTP

Thanks to community contributor @awole20 we now support Two Factor Authentication on Discourse!

Two Factor Authentication can be enabled from a user’s preferences page.

image.png932x799 31.9 KB

After verifying their password a user is prompted to scan the QR code via a supported app on their mobile device.

image.png797x502 9.31 KB

After enabling Two Factor Authentication all existing login sessions are invalidated (you’ll need to log into all browsers again). After entering a username and password you’ll be prompted for the current authentication code in the app.

image.png700x247 5.26 KB

Important Note: Two Factor Authentication only works with local logins. You cannot use social logins when Two Factor Authentication is enabled, and Two Factor Authentication cannot be activated if a site uses SSO.

Add group name to PM email subject

Thanks to community contributor @LeoMcA you can now choose to display the group name in the email subject from group PMs instead of simply displaying [PM]. This is controlled via the site setting group in subject (default off).

Additional allowed file types for staff

Previously staff users were restricted to uploaded the same file types as normal users. Admins can now allow additional file types for staff users only via the authorized extensions for staff site setting.

Search in title

Thanks to community contributor @jorge_manrubia and Discourse engineer @sam you can now scope search to topic title only. Searching in title in:title is not yet included in the advanced search UI, you must type it by hand. Please note that it may take time for a search reindex to complete after the update before this will work. See Search only within topic titles for more details.

Suppress category from latest

Previously categories had a setting suppress category from homepage that would hide a category from the site’s homepage, whatever that may be. However, this setting did not interact well with the user selectable Default Home Page preference. To avoid the unexpected interaction the category setting is now suppress_from_latest, and only hides topics in the given category from the latest view, regardless of if it’s the homepage. To continue hiding a category on the category page you can use CSS.

Allow staff to tag PMs

Staff can now add tags to PMs to assist with organization. Tags are visible to all staff and cannot be seen by normal users. PM tagging is still actively being improved, please provide feedback in Feedback on feature enabling staff to add tags to personal messages

New category page layout: Categories and Top

We’ve added a new desktop category page style, Categories and Top Topics. This is similar to the existing default Categories and Latest Topics, but displays Top topics in the right column instead of Latest.

image.png1124x916 98.5 KB

Theme Settings

Thanks to community contributor @Osama theme developers can now include theme settings in their themes. This will allow theme users to easily customize themes to their needs, including modifying colors, URLs, and other theme data. See Add support for theme settings for more details. A proper #howto topic should be available soon.

Rake task for merging users

A new rake task to merge users accounts is now available. This task will merge most user data. There are a few known issues, including mentions and quotes not being updated. For more details and to leave feedback see Ability to merge users.

Improved Category/Tag Dropdowns

First released in Discourse 1.9.0.beta15, @joffreyjaffeux has continued to improve our select boxes and dropdowns. For 2.0.0.beta4, further improvements to the tag selector in the composer have been added.

Screen Shot 2018-02-14 at 00.34.34.png1012x334 24.3 KB

Improved signature stripping

Many users who email into Discourse include email signatures in their posts. We’ve improved our detection of signatures to hide even more signatures by default, including signatures from Gmail, Outlook, Exchange, and more.

Asset rate limiter tweaks

CSS and avatars were being caught by the max reqs per ip, rate limit. To help mitigate this assets are now limited to 200 per 10 seconds instead of 50.

Edit: It should be noted that as of March 7, 2018 max reqs per ip, including the asset rate limiter are default disabled.

Security Updates

This beta includes 2 security fixes for issues reported by our community and HackerOne.

• Sanitize topic title when staff is viewing a user’s past flagged posts and deleted topics
• Ensure users have permission when moving categories

Even more!

This is a very basic question, but I couldn’t seem to find it anywhere. The post instructions that I did find on here don’t work.

I want to have a specific post have big text, I tried BBCode / markdown [size=40][/size] etc but it doesn’t work. I tried<div> <font size> etc, nothing works!

How can I control the font size for particular strings of text in a post?

Hi!

I have a weird issue with a Discourse forum, and I didn’t fine a solution by myself: I installed a forum, I have access to the console but I don’t run it. I asked to the current admin to delete my account because I don’t want to be involve in this mess, but he refuses.

Usually I would be fine letting my account in a forum without using it, but the admin like to Impersonate every account (like mine, or discobot) to post weird stuff, and I really don’t like it. I tried to talk some sense with this person but I don’t trust him at all.

I would prefer to delete my account permanently. I didn’t find a way via Discourse with an admin account, or even a developper’s account (with the function Impersonate) to do it properly.

Is there a way to do it with the console, without messing up the database?

I know the basic stuff (./launcher enter app then rails c) but not the exact command to do.

Thanks, it would relieve me a lot!

We are interested in using meerkat jquery to pop certain banners on our site, but would want the ability to deploy very selectively. Ideally we could choose to run them on 1 or more of the following:

• Category page
• Tag page
• Posts within a given tag or category

My suspicion is that it’s more of an all or nothing choice across the whole site, but my fingers are crossed.

I’ve run into an interesting dilemma. It’s a little tricky to explain, so let me know if I need to clarify anything.

My intention is have a hard-coded variable name (like $image-url) in the SCSS file that will point to an image asset. The idea is to allow users to upload their own image assets to the theme component, naming them to match the variable names in the SCSS file. The goal is to keep it easy for the user so they won’t need to edit anything in the CSS/HTML.

Here are the issues I am running into:

• If I have the $image-url variable in the SCSS file without a matching asset (listed under Uploads in the theme), I get an undefined variable error when trying to save the SCSS file (which makes sense)

• If I try to set default values for the variables in the SCSS file, it overrides the values defined in the uploaded theme assets

• I tried using the about.json file to set each variable to placeholder.png and include that asset with the theme component, but the catch here is that every time I update it, any assets the user had set are replaced with the placeholders again

Any suggestions on how to handle this, or is it just a limitation that I will have to explain to the users?

I just upgraded jQuery from version 2.2.0 (2 years old) to 3.3.1.

Officially this drops support in jQuery for IE 8 and below. In practice … well … jQuery have been slow nuking out old code.

There is an extensive guide about changes from the 2x line to the 3x line at:

https://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/3.0/

We are not the heaviest jQuery consumers so I am not sure how many of these things impact us.

If you notice anything weird and new on the client side, it may relate to this upgrade. Let us know.
