I just downloaded the discourse plugin for wordpress, and I am wondering the following things:

1. why would you want to publish all new posts to Discourse.
2. why would you want to add Discourse forum discussions in addition to your WordPress comments for Discourse published posts.

What would the point of doing these two things be, and what are the advantages?
Could you give me guys some example scenarios

As discourse becomes more and more popular, I increasingly find myself teleported to sone discourse forum via some link. And one of the first things I usually want to know is: Where am I? What is this forum about? And unless the site admins have done an exceptionally good job in formulating the essence of their site in a single sentence in site description (which is shown on the About page), it’s often not that easy to really understand what that forum is about.

How about adding a long site description field to the site settings and show it on the About page?

I want the original post to appear at the top like normal blog site.

I looked in the forum but I could not find it. When I enter a topic, I want to enter the top scroll timeline.

Hi Guys,

Our users located in mainland China, India or Indonesia are complaining about the discourse load time. In some of our locations, it takes more than 1 minute to load the discourse main page.

Infrastructure wise,

• Discourse is hosted within a docker container on a single server in AWS Singapore.
• We also use Cloudflare as a free CDN service to “replicate” our static content.

We did NOT set the DISCOURSE_CDN_URL as Cloudflare does not provide this “feature”.

In Hong Kong, the main page is loaded in less than a second. However, in Mumbai / Beijing, it takes sometimes more than 1 minute to load the main page. In these locations, we should have high speed internet connection so I do not really understand what is happening.

Besides CDN services, are there some other ways to speed up Discourse?

Thx

Hello alltogether,

I am woundering if it would be possible to use SSO and additionally Facebook, Google and normal login/register methods?
My plan is to create community with discord which has two parts:

1. Is a standard community with topics for all people, the can register and login with Facebook, Google and normal registering method and have access to all categories except the Eve Online Corp category
2. which leads us to that category: here will have users access which have registered via Eve Online SSO

The access question is not the problem, I am struggling with those login methods. When activating SSO, all other login methods are disabled…

Hopefully someone is able to help with that.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

I try in a new topic instead.

I did add a few line of change to some githib files based on this topic:

The line is added to the github pull request but I guess they will not be adapted to the release

My question is without knowledge of github how do I get these changes to work on my own setup?

I did try to add

https://github.com/frold/onebox.git

to my app.yml - but it doesnt seems like the changes are adapted to my site…

What else can I try?

I just want to add 2 lines of changes to my site, but it seems like a marathon

Hello.

Thanks for watching my topic. I was developing a plugin and needed to detect URL change of discourse platform continuously.

I have done that by setInterval function of javascript but that function was called too much than my need.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I have issue with Facebook signup and login. I tried everything.

Error is coming " Can’t Load URL: The domain of this URL isn’t included in the app’s domains. To be able to load this URL, add all domains and subdomains of your app to the App Domains field in your app settings. "

I know it is something related to domain setting which I have already done and tried with different settings. But still not working. I am attaching screen shot. I do not know what is issue.

I also tried to fix by youtube video. There is no official Discourse video but just some random youtuber. But it is not working either. Any step by step instructions available, please let me know.

Thanks.

It may be:

I recently installed Discourse on a VPS and out of curiosity I decide to find out what Docker was. I got to know the basics and I decided to run the command docker images and I found out that my installation has three images related to discourse. Are they all required for discourse to run smoothly? I have attached the command output below.

Hello at all,

I am getting problems with Facebook-Auth for my discourse installation. I have setup everything like in tutorials said, facebook app also setup with everything needed. When clicking on register and chosing facebook the following error comes:

Than, when clicking ok, I get following notice from my discourse installation:

Means: Sorry, there was an error auth your account. Did you perhaps deny authorisation?

The installation is completely running on ssl, I don´t know how it can be possible that facebook is crying about insecure connection. When adding google auth I had the same issue, but at google I could set http for the callback adress and it worked. So there is somehow a problem with my configuration I guess, but I don´t know where and what I can do…
Discourse is running as docker image on a Ubuntu 16.04 system, Let´s Encrypt SSL Cert.

I would be really happy if someone could help me with that problem.

Thanks a lot in advance.
Daniel

Is there any way to require an edit to be approved by an admin/mod as well?

We currently require utilize moderator approval required if TL < 3. It works fine for the initial submission however say a user submits a post, then a moderator approves it. The user is completely free to go an edit that post with no restriction. There is no subsequent approval required.

Are there any thoughts to adding this functionality? I see this as a pretty big gap in the current moderation/approval functionality. This window would essentially allow a user to say whatever with no restrictions once the initial post is approved.

One of my Discourse sites that attracts about 40 logged-on users a day is seeing spikes of > 500 user profile views on some days.

I’ve used the Dataexplorer plugin to work out that most are from a single IP: 23.237.4.26 which does not appear to be from a registered user.

SELECT
  user_profile_views.ip_address,
  COUNT(user_profile_views.ip_address)
FROM user_profile_views
WHERE viewed_at > '3/24/2018'
GROUP BY user_profile_views.ip_address
ORDER BY COUNT(user_profile_views.ip_address) DESC

I’m aware of the prior posts on this subject but the Topics are all closed.

Anyone still seeing this? Any thoughts?

I have taken action and now set this setting:

hide user profiles from public

 Disable user cards, user profiles and user directory for anonymous users.

To checked.

Any more advice would be appreciated.

New features in 2.0.0.beta5

Shared Drafts

Shared drafts allow site staff to quickly and easily collaborate on a topic draft prior to making it public. To create a shared draft click the reply icon in the top left of the composer and select Shared Draft.

After the draft is created all staff can make edits prior to publishing the topic. Once published the timestamp(s) will be reset, and the edit history removed. For more details see the feature announcement at Shared Drafts: Allow staff to collaborate on posts before publishing.

Improved Staff Action Logging

Discourse aims to provide a simple audit path for staff actions via the staff action log (/admin/logs/staff_action_logs). This allows staff to review not only which staff member completed the action, but also when and the context of the action. Changes to site settings and themes also log the previous value making it easy to revert changes if needed.

In 2.0.0.beta5 we’ve added logging for “restore topic” and “staff edits”.

Easier Theme Development

@sam was very happy to release the Discourse Theme CLI (console app to help you build themes) to rubygems 2 weeks ago. This app makes theme development even easier by allowing developers to work on the theme in the editor of their choice! Working on the app Sam also squashed a few lingering bugs surrounding themes including some preview and caching issues.

Improved Group UX

We’ve made significant improvements to the /groups UX during 2.0.0.beta5, including:

• Groups can now be filtered helping you find just the group you want.
• Owners can quickly add or remove members from the group, and admins can easily designate owners.
• Group members can interact with the message inbox right from the group page.
• Group topic activity now uses the “latest” view providing all the details you’re used to from browsing Discourse like normal.

Remove category description in category-drop for staff or TL > 0

No, you’re not going crazy. Category descriptions have been removed from the category dropdown filter for staff and TL1+ users. This allows many more categories to fit without scrolling, as staff and non-new users should have a good idea what each category is for. Descriptions are still provided with hover tooltips, and continue to be listed in the composer category dropdown.

New Banner Themes

A frequent request here on Meta is for assistance customizing the look and feel of a site. To help admins get started @Dax has created a number of “banner themes” that admins can import and customize on their site. Be sure to check out all the options and full details at Banner themes (and instructions for customizing them).

… is it time for Discourse to take the lead in Communities and displace FB groups?

I’ve personally been pushing the privacy/anonymity angle recently on one of my sites and about to do the same on the other.

Is this an opportunity for further differentiation with Facebook?
