Topic Tags - What purpose do they serve?

What is the function of topic tags?

Do they enhance the topic’s detection when searching the forum?
Do they increase the changes of being detected by a search engine like google?
For the people who use them to organize topics, do you need a plugin, and what type of sorting are people generally doing?

Thanks in advance.

Hovering over a flair

@Biscuit wrote:

If you hover over a user’s flair, a text box pops up to display the “NAME” defined under GROUP settings.

Recommendations:

  1. Display the group’s “FULL NAME” text in the pop-up, rather than the “NAME” text.
  2. Add a comment under the appropriate field in the GROUP settings, like:
    “This text will be displayed to users, to describe the flair”.

Reasons:

  • The NAME field is more limited in which characters and length can be used. Most notably, a space can’t be used. eg: I entered two words, with an underscore, not realising this geeky workaround would be displayed.
  • The FULL NAME will generally describe the flair better and may be better suited for the pop-up, especially if 2+ words are desirable.
  • Admins may not realise which text fields will be visible to forum members.

[Paid] Jobs/Recruiting Board Setup?

What would you like done?
I currently run https://realtimevfx.com, where we have a separated “Jobs” board (https://jobs.realtimevfx.com/) using a different service that allows recruiters to post paid ads for open jobs across the computer graphics industry. We’re currently breaking even on supporting this (terrible) other service, but it’s not integrated into the main forum at all. I’d love to explore options to create a better integrated system where a recruiter can pay to create a single topic in the jobs category (with different price points for adding featured tags, duration of post, etc), and is required to fill out certain information before the post can be created.

Note - I just saw @joebuhlig’s Discourse League - Paid Memberships 💸, which looks like a great foundation (you tell me?), but we’ll need it modified to be paid per post, etc.

When do you need it done?
There’s no timeline on this - but sooner is better.

What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?
I’m very interested in paying appropriately to have this done well. This is a small part of a greater business, but it’s one that I’d like to make sure we correctly. This means that I don’t have a small budgetary limit, so please talk with me and give me an estimate - I’ll need to make sure I can spin a business model around the initial investment though.

Tagging first "wiki" post

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to tag the first post in a forum discussion? My use case for this is I’d like to be able to tag the first post since it is a “wiki” post. I’d like the user to be able to filter the forum on all “wiki” posts. I don’t want the ensuing discussion to appear in the tag search, only the wiki post.

See the link for an example. I’d like to only tag this first wiki post as “wikiobjective1” and leave all ensuing discussion untagged.

I am stuck somewhere in discourse, because of new Update. I can not run javasripts in the posts after last Update. Now i shifted back to the old Version of discourse (I have backup of it.) Now i need to rebuild the app to meet the RAM and CPU but it will update the discourse again and my website basic functionality will breake again. How can i prevent this ?

Hello all,

Sorry for my english, I try to do my best but it’s not my native language.

We use (with pleasure) Discourse for our Discussion. For improve quality of debates, we want to try a specific limitation for some category. The number of post per day in a subject.

The objective is to limit the flood of “agree post” or “desagree post”, but a the argument repetitition limitation too.

Thanks a lot for this incredible tool :slight_smile:

There has got to be a way to have a scoring based on the civility of a post, rather than just popularity

We need a scoring on how civil you are in talking to others. We have ‘love/like’ scoring, but we need a ‘civility’ score as well. And those two metric needs to be separate such that you may be hated by the community, but still be given high standing as a civil speaker.

Basically the ‘love’ heart is mostly use when a person likes a post, but we need to encourage people to downvote post that they like if it does not contribute to the quality of a board. E.g. They may mention a support for an issue that you like, but then add an personal attack on another person (which you dislike from a civilised discourse point of view.)

You can then tie this score that keeps track of how civilised you are in your discourse with others. Perhaps you can make it such that if you are consistently good at being civilised in your discussion, your meta-vote would be weighted higher (aka: you are treated more as a moderator). And this would be separate from your popularity/like score.

Plus this can be tracked by forum moderators as a tool to assist in spotting those who incite incivility, even from within their own ideological side.


Is this part of a wider concept of democratic design philosophy perhaps?

On a related note on civilised discourse, I’m thinking that this sort of consideration would lie in the wider context of democratic design philosophy, of which I have a newish forum to encourage designers to think about these things at Designing Open Democracy. Currently just collating various organisations that I think would be related like Discourse. I’ve also noticed that Nation Builder is dealing with a similar potential issue of how to encourage civilised politics (at least within political parties) via software as well. Have Nation Builder and Discourse considered working more together in exchanging design knowledge as well in regards to fostering these kinds of ideals?

Hi. I would like to import a lot of topics/messages into Discourse. To do this I use the API.
In order to do that without any issue, I’d like to modify various API settings, but I don’t want to modify the global settings to do so. I just want to remove the limit for that specific task or user, but not in other contexts. Is such a thing possible?

Discourse comments aren't visible after update

Hi!

I left my Wordpress blog unattended for a while. When I came back and updated it, I noticed that discourse comments aren’t shown anymore beneath the posts. Newly published posts have text “Continue discussion at Disocurse…” and no comments. Older posts doesn’t have event that. Everything else is working as it should.

I’m using WP Discourse plugin from the day I launched this blog. I have enabled Hueman theme. I tried switching to the one of default WordPress themes, but it didn’t do any good.

What could be the cause of this problem?

Thanks for any help!

E.G. we tag a few topics “to-be-promoted-next-week”. General users shouldn’t see it.

Can a tag from a tag group be renamed?

@nordize wrote:

Pretty much what says. I’m on 1.9.4 stable. I defined a tag group and added a few tags but made a typo in one tag, then the tag got used many times on posts.

I can’t find a GUI way to rename a tag - is there? I obviously don’t want delete it and recreate it as the posts using it would also lose the tag.

If the GUI doesn’t have such feature, then:

  • any pitfall if I dig into the Ruby console to do it?
  • could this be added to the GUI in the future?

Full screening .mp4 videos fails on Chrome

Sample .mp4 video: Niclas Lucenius - Ex-Tapparat - Tappara.co

On Chrome browsers (Android, desktop), if you click on the video player to make it full screen, the full screen players closes after a second and the user is bounced to a different location in the topic. This is very similar what was seen with YouTube earlier, but YouTube still works.

This is not-repro on desktop Firefox, so could be Chrome specific.

Our setup runs on 1.9 stable branch.

Notifications for mentioning invited users in PM

@tophee wrote:

Quick question: when I @-mention a user who has been invited to a PM but has not yet accepted the invitation, will that user be notified about the mention? (The mention occurs in the PM “topic”).

Long story: another user sent me a PM with a question that I cannot answer myself. So I invited the user who knows the answer but she did not join the PM. So after a few days, I thought it’s time to respond to the original PM so I said something like “Thanks for the question. Let’s see what @xyz has to say about that”, thinking that was a clever way to nudge xyz. But now I realize that she probably won’t even be notified…
