Is an explainer video being done up for discourse?

I just came across Mastodon’s explainer video. It’s fabulous. Discourse has even more to boast about in my humble opinion in terms of functionality.

We’ve gotten great responses from our own explainer video. If I’ve overstepped in asking this as this is really a management kinda discussion, please say. I’d just like to see Discourse do well and see this as a great way to get the word out, particularly now with the Facebook fiasco.

Hello developer.

How can something like that be seen?

and at the same time in the category you need to provide compliance in menus such as / category / latest / new. so it would not be nice to just have a layout for the homepage.

how can this be done

"Are you sure you want to clear all bookmarks" confirmation doesn't accept keyboard input

If you select a topic with bookmarks from the topic list (using j/k), and then press b to clear bookmarks, you’ll get a confirmation popup – which is great! Unfortunately, you can’t press enter to confirm this action – this instead loads the selected topic in the background. It seems that you need to use the mouse to confirm this action.

When you click to flag a post, that little popup comes up to prompt you about which kind of flag you want to submit.

Is there some kind of url to send a user directly to this?

User profile wordpress configuration

@Sami_Syed wrote:

Hey,

I have the Discourse wordpress plugin setup as a SSO Client. Meaning Discourse handles all logins and user authentication. Although i have the following questions:

  1. in the user profile I have a link called “My Profile” which is supposed to take a user to his own profile on discourse. What link can I add to that menu item that will make this possible?

  2. How do I set it up so if a user sets up a Avatar on discourse, it also appears on wordpress. I do not need to do the vice versa of this as users are not able to add avatars from wordpress. I set it up that way so that discourse handles everything.

  3. How can I make it so if an avatar is clicked on wordpress, the user is directed to the corresponding profile on discourse?

Custom invite subject line

$

@tophee wrote:

It’s great to be able to include a personal message when inviting new users to a forum, but I’m suspecting that a significant proportion of those personal messages never get read (and the invite not accepted) because people don’t open the email in the first place. I don’t blame them, given how much quasi-spam we have to sift through every day (e.g. LinkedIn).

So I’m wondering if it might help to allow users to also customize the the emails subject line?

To be clear: the current templates are already doing a great job in signalling relevance to the recipient by putting the inviter’s name in the subject (as well as the topic title, where applicable). But it still looks like a typical quasi-spam email: “X invited you to Y”. It will work if X is very close to you, but if you don’t even know X, it’s probably even a disadvantage to have that name there.

So, concrete suggestion: when the inviter clicks on “Custom message”, there will not only be a message field with a pre-filled text, but also a subject field pre-filled based on the relevant email template.

Dev guideslines for making translation easier

@Benjol wrote:

I’m aware of topics and guidelines for translators, but are there guidelines anywhere for devs so that they can make translation easier?

If not, I have a few ideas :slight_smile:

  • Avoid ‘walls of text’. tos_topic.body is totally unwieldy, for example. And that’s if you just have to translate it the once. But every time there is a modification, you have to scroll up/down to find the differences.
  • Try to avoid ambiguity (i.e. does “User Modified” mean “modified by the user” or “the user has been modified”?). You don’t necessarily need to make the distinction in the text, using the key to disambiguate is a good idea too.

(Feel free to add other ideas)

Using discourse for family or small group communication

@bhishmaraj wrote:

Hey guys I’ve been lurking in discourse meta and reddit for a while and I really liked both of them .

We have a WhatsApp group for our family and extended family (~ 50 members) , usually only a few of the elders are active and they just post forward messages (sometimes fake news) . Due to this most of the younger generation don’t participate in the group . I really liked the concept of subreddit and having a moderated discussion about various topics . Is it possible to replicate a reddit kind of discussions in discourse or is it too formal for a family setting . I would like to hear your opinions .

Edit 1
I think there is a misconception here . I am not trying to substitute discourse for WhatsApp rather both will coexist .

I do not want to touch the main tables in the Discourse database.

Interestingly, there are examples of using PluginStorRov that would add the necessary information. In my case, I want to add information to the topics. This is equivalent if you add a column to the topic table.

Bulk amend member digest subscriptions

@thirstforwine wrote:

Can anyone help me with the script to run if I wanted to change the default digest subscription for any member who had not visited for (x) months from system default (3 days) to “every two weeks”?

As @pfaffman has pointed out to me already (thanks!), this is similar to the request below, but I am not familiar with this sort of coding or have regular access to the Rails console, so it would be only an occasional update routine I might run:

Or is there another way to achieve this? It strikes me that it would be very useful to cut down on email and minimise the annoyance to ‘lapsed’ members of receiving too-regular emails once they have shown not to be engaged.

New monetisation feature proposition

Hi All,

I have been thinking of a way of monetising the website and during the launching stage for us about 4 months old site it it a bit tricky.

There is different monetising ways :
1 - ads ( I don’t like it, it looks ugly, and is not worth the money unless you have crazy traffic )
2 - subscription like nomad list : Digital Nomad Forum . It is tricky to do this in early stage because we want content

3 - our idea / solution ( Wallet type or credit kind )
is there a system / plugin that offers the opportunity to group2 level people to top up credits where 1 crédit would allow 1 post. Credits would go to stripe account.

So random customers can post but companies would have to buy credits.

Does this would make sense ? does it exist ? We would be happy to be beta testers.

Many thanks

OAuth signup results in blank screen

@Bas wrote:

We’re experiencing an issue where the sign up flow breaks.

Flow:

Expected
The popup window closes and the sign up modal is pre-filled

Actual
The popup window closes, nothing happens, the screen keeps a black overlay

Here is the console:

Interestingly enough, if you initiate the sign up by clicking the Log In button and following the Oauth route, everything works fine.

This seems to happen sporadically with different users, on different networks, with different browsers.
I personally can reproduce in Safari for mac and Chrome, with both an ordinary Gmail account and a corporate Google Mail one.

We have must approve users and login_required both set, but the issue also occurs when those options are disabled.

If anyone has a good idea on how to start debugging this, that would be appreciated.
