Persistent nginx/discourse.conf?

When I’m using the current default docker install of discourse, ./launcher enter app the container, /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf contains:

  location / {
    root $public;
    add_header ETag "";

    # auth_basic on;
    # auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd;

    location ~* (assets|plugins|uploads)/.*\.(eot|ttf|woff|woff2|ico)$ {

I would like to enable auth_basic while working on my site, but I frequently end up doing ./launcher rebuild app as there’s inevitably something else to reconfigure or something to change.

Unfortunately, each time this wipes out my basic auth, making my completely private site public. (other people looking at the site are especially interested in how registration for new users will work… so basic auth seems to be the best solution).

I’ve noticed that most of the “customizing nginx” discussion on meta talks about setting up a completely separate nginx instance, which certainly seems like overkill here considering what I want is already in the file, just commented out.

So what’s the right procedure so that my basic auth will survive reboots? Do I make my own pups template in /templates, or use write it at the bottom of my /containers/app.yml in the final ## Any custom commands to run after building run: section?

vBulletin Forums List Page?

I’m trying to migrate an old, large vBulletin community to discourse. Personally, I can’t stand vBulletin…

However, some of our VIPs absolutely love vBulletin because they’ve been using it everyday for 10+ years… Previewing the new discourse version of the forum, they’ve been a bit startled by how big the transition, and asked for ways to make it look more like vBulletin.

I’ve gone through the “admin” options, and written a lot of CSS for the new site, but in some cases the data is quite different.

Specifically, I would like to make the main page look more like:

And make the threads page look more like:

Joking about how bad vBulletin is or how people should just adapt aside, thoughts about how to do this.

For example, I thought using the Categories page as the default page would be helpful, but checking the plugin-outlet locations for the categories page, I don’t see a good place to pull in the last post for each category.

Any tips from people that have done lots of Discourse development?

Wordpress Notification when you get Discourse Notification

@LKNickname wrote:

I am currently trying to integrate Discourse within my existing Wordpress-Installation and so far it is working well (love the WP-Discourse Plugin and SSO btw.).

But right now I’m in a bit of a standstill…

I am using the Wordpress Plugin “Ultimate Member” for handling Social/Community-Interaction and Features on my Wordpress-Site.
However the forum is entirely realised through Discourse and I refuse to “Downgrade” on bbpress.
Nontheless I need to notify my users within Wordpress if something happens on their Discourse.

Ideally I want every notification that is send through discourse (New answer, badge etc.) to also pop-up in the Wordpress frontend.
I figured that I may have a chance using webhooks but I am lacking the best way of approchaing this in detail tbh.

Maybe some of you guys already have some experience in integrating Ultimate Member and/or Buddypress and are willing to help?

Would greatly appreciate that :slight_smile:

Default tagging

@nikolais wrote:

Hello! There is a nice feature in Discourse that defaults new topics to the category that the user is visiting. For example, if one goes to the page /c/feedback and clicks on “New topic”, that topic will be assigned the category “feedback” automatically.

Is it possible to make Discourse work the same way for tags? For example, I can filter the topics by category and tag by calling something like /c/feedback?tags=bug. I would like that the users who create new topics on this filtered page have these topics automatically tagged with “bug”.

Thanks a lot in advance!

[Paid] Fastly Integrated Who's Online Plugin

@ryanerwin wrote:

What would you like done?

We have an existing vBulletin site that has a “Who’s Online” feature at the bottom of every page… For some reason, we absolutely love this. It looks something like:

image

Ideally you could click through “What’s going on” and actually see the big “Who’s Online” catalog, but I’m not sure if it’s feasible in Discourse to add new routes…

To further complicate matters, our Discourse site is going to use Fastly’s full size CDN.

And, we have a very very liberal impression of what it means to be online :wink:

My thinking is that you would want too use a timed job inside the docker container… Connect to the fastly server every minute (Because both actual users and anonymous users both need to be counted) and merge the latest fastly logging info with the local cache of “online” usernames and anonymous users.

Then you would have a second component that was a plugin used in the theme to put the who’s online box below the content box on every page.

When do you need it done?

Needs to be complete tested and live in around 14 days.

What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?

We’re fair people. It would definitely be over $1000. Exact amount depends on exactly how much work is involved in the way you decide to solve the problem. Send me a PM so that we can Skype.

Note that company is based in Washington, USA, but I’ll be the contact and I work remotely.

User Search Results based on User's Primary Group

What would you like done?

A plugin - Our basic requirement is to restrict user search results to within user’s Primary Group (as defined in the users settings in user admin). Not even the username should be shown in the results list, other than to members of the user’s Primary Group.

(1) basic requirement

Right now, any search box entry will return results including users from across the site, like this:

image

Same issue with mentioning of user within post:

image

The plugin would limit output of user search to the user’s Primary Group.

The function would be very similar to that available already for Groups - in the Interactions settings:

image

The settings for the user would instead be:

A) Visibility
Who can see this user?

  • Everyone (normal setting)
  • Members of the user’s primary group and admins

B) Posting
Who can @mention this user?

  • Everyone (normal setting)
  • Members of the user’s primary group and admins

(2) advanced version

We have had to set Personal Messaging off entirely to prevent PM to everyone on site, and also turned off the User Directory. However ideally we would allow both of these if we could restrict these to only user’s Primary Group.

So in the advanced version the two following settings would also be available:

C) Personal Messaging
Who can message user?

  • Everyone (normal setting)
  • Members of the user’s primary group and admins

D) User Directory
Who can see this user?

  • Everyone (normal setting)
  • Members of the user’s primary group and admins

When do you need it done?

ASAP

What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?

For basic requirement (1) - $5-700
For the advanced version - more

How to Deactivate the Discourse Activation Email

Hi team,

Is it possible to deactivate the requirement to verify emails with discourse?

I am using Discourse with my Wordpress website connected via SSO.

In my situation, it just doesn’t make sense for users to be required to verify their email.

Just curious.

Thanks!

How to add user configurable options?

I’d like to add a user option where users can select their preferred tag style - is there an easy way to do this on Discourse?

On other forum platforms I’d usually just add a user preferences option via the ACP (which I believe we can do in Discourse via customise > user fields) and then in the template simply do something like the following specifying the css class:

if user.field3 == true
  "plain-tags"
else
  "box-tags"
end

Is there any easy way to achieve the same thing in Discourse?

Youtube embed size, revisited

@bartv wrote:

I’m following up on ‘Youtube embed size’. In this topic, the discussion was about the small default size of YouTube embeds. The final solution was allowing width and height parameters in YouTube links. I’m not sure this is a great solution as most forum users will not know about these.

What’s currently the best approach to make YouTube embeds the same size as images?

Somewhat on the same topic, Vimeo embeds are larger than YouTube embeds but still not the same size as images.

Offline page customization

Hello,

sorry if that’s something already present in here but i was no able to find any related thread. Is that possible to somehow customize an offline page? I’m talking about this one with Cannot load app message.

It would be really great to be able to add some additional info about where to hit if this problem persists - like some link to status page or twitter profile with service status or anything like that.

Btw - I’m aware it’s not possible as this is hardcoded in the locale files but i’m opening this thread as a feature resuest to consider.

Thanks!

Not respecting latest theme permissions

@AstonJ wrote:

Not a major bug this, but if you (temporarily) allow the selection of some themes, then remove them from being selectable and change the default theme to something else, Discourse sticks with the previous user-selected theme even when it has been made no longer selectable.

Hi,

I had an idea to host a monthly video conference with the users of my forum to be able to chat about a variety of topics. Is there a platform that people recommend using for video conferencing with our members? It would need to support multiple users video conferencing at the same time.

Tracking Issues in Discourse with Jira

@Shawn_Kirsch wrote:

I’m wondering how you link jira and discourse together.

If we have a public facing community, there are times bugs/issues will be posted there, if we have multiple people tracking this, how do we ensure that the bug posted in the forum is linked in the jira? IE: I’m browsing the forum, and as an ADMIN I can see that “Greg” has added this to $X jira ticket.

Any thoughts?

Focus - Full-screen composer mode

Focus is a (desktop only) theme component that adds a full-screen composer mode.

Github repository link

https://github.com/hnb-ku/discourse-focus-composer


This component adds a button to the default composer. Clicking the button makes the composer enter into “focus” mode where you only see the things you need to edit the body of the post / topic / message and a couple of other essentials like the formatting bar and draft / upload status.

Try it live on Theme creator:
(You have to set the category to Junk before going into fullscreen mode to see what it would look like on your install)

https://theme-creator.discourse.org/theme/lll/focus-mode

This component does not interfere with any of the functions of the composer. It only adds Focus mode on top of what is already there.


Samples:

The button:
