Serve all S3 images from CDN

Hi guys,

Following this topic, would it be possible to serve all images from the CDN.

Currently, we noticed that:
1/ Smaller images are served from the origin server directly. This includes avatars & thumbnails.
2/ Larger images are correctly served from the DNS

In my case, it slows down the experience for users located far away from our server (particularly in India).

Thx
Seb

I’m looking at the following theme as a reference.

My goal is to find a way to put up a secondary new topic button that shows up for members of a specific group. This group has access to a private area in the forum and I’d like to be able to have the button in question start a new topic in that area of the forum regardless of their current page. I’m also looking to use a topic template or similar boilerplate functionality with this button. I think I’ve figured out how to selectively add the button based off the primary group class on the body, but I’m not quite familiar enough at the moment to insert some boilerplate text(or topic template) into new topics started with this secondary button. Anyone have any pointers?

For the past few weeks when I try to use the “Back Button” to get back to Discourse after visiting any other site, I get a white background with this message:

Cannot load app

It looks like you are offline! Please check your network connection and try again.

I can use the Refresh Button and everything goes back to normal. Windows 10, FireFox 59.0.2

Firefox problem, or Discourse problem?

Hello,

As I activated Cloudflare, I am noticing some weird thing. The IP lookup for profile shows Cloudflare IP, before it was showing original IP.

I am afraid if things gets screwed up while deleting and blocking profile of someone. It may largely affect(By saying your ip is blocked, you cannot login) if I don’t fix it.

I checked this forum, where it says I need to edit yml file. Where is this file? Please guide me step by step.

Thanks and Regards,

One status tag per topic

Over on the Ghost forum they’ve started tagging certain feature ideas with “planned”, “in progress” etc.

This is a feature I’ve wanted in #plugin:voting for a long time. It’s a common convention in other feature voting platforms such as UserVoice. Seems like we should be able to build this on top of our tag groups.

  • Only one “status tag” can be allowed per topic in a voting category. We don’t want a topic to be tagged with “in-progress” as well as “closed”.

  • These tags should be staff-specific by default.

  • Ideally we’d hide the standard tags selector and instead show a dedicated drop-down for the default status tags, similar to what we do at CarTalk
    37

  • Optional: Changing the tag should send a notification to anyone who’s tracking the topic. If you’re eagerly awaiting a feature you’ll want to know when it goes from “planned” to “in-progress”. UserVoice also does this.

Setting up Google sitemap for a login required site

I’ve recently added the Discourse Sitemap plugin to my site. I’ve successfully generated my sitemap.xml file and uploaded it to my site.

When trying to set up my sitemap in Google, I get the following error:

We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.

As far as I can see, the sitemap file follows the guidelines specified by Google.

If I’m logged in as an admin and click the link provided on the Google setup page to the sitemap file, it downloads fine. If I log out of my site and try clicking the link, I get the following message:

Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.

Is there a way to make the sitemap file accessible to Google?

Closing down site and redirecting its traffic to another

Eventually, I want to close down the forum, but for now, I want to redirect some of the forum URL to my WordPress website.

Example.

From Volunteers for CSClub Forum and Blog - Jobs - Company Secretary Club
To Volunteers for CSClub Forum and Blog - CS Club

How can I achieve this with current setup, is there any plugin for it?

Also, while redirecting to a new site I want to show to users that they are getting redirected to the new site if it is possible.

Concerns regarding safe mode

I believe safe mode should be IP restricted.

For example, the overwatch forums redirect some built-in pages to a 404. Safe mode allows anyone to bypass that 404 and just see the page:

Site Statistics

All Time Last 7 Days Last 30 Days
Topics 60.8k 7.3k 29.7k
Posts 755k 97.6k 386k
Users 92.8k 4.3k 22.7k
Active Users 31.6k 56.7k
Likes 1.0M 117k 489k

I can also see the other pages they wanted to hide like /faq, /tos, and /privacy

Not a big deal because there’s no real security threat. But does entering safe mode disable Akismet as well?

Currently discourse remap X Y does not notify app servers that a site setting changed.

It should notify the app servers if any site settings change so they can reload the new setting.

Questions about importing json

@tehspaceg wrote:

I’ll preface that my knowledge of Ruby is essentially zero, so sorry if anything I say sounds dumb.

While I wait for someone in #marketplace on my bounty, I figured I could poke around a bit at importing data on my own. I see that there is a json _generic.rb file in GitHub, which requires the base.rb file.

I’ve got a few rookie questions and some questions on what kind of data the base.rb script is looking for.

create_users
It looks like this function is designed to iterate through a data set and send it over to create_user. For create user, is there a list of available fields that I can pass into this function?

I have a rough idea from the code, but I want to make sure I know all of them. Here is the list I collected; id (required, from original source), bio_raw, website, location, avatar_url, name, username, email (required), trust_level, active, import_mode, last_emailed_at, password

What data format is needed? Is it just straight json that I can pass in to create_users? Or is there a certain Ruby format I should follow?

Is it possible to import the original creation date of the user for consistency?

create_posts
This one will be the hardest part. The create_post function appears to only take the post without looking at topics. The way NodeBB (my data source) stores data is to have a topic and posts that are linked to that topic via topic ID. I’m not seeing anything in this function that creates the topics, then handles importing posts to link to that topic. Am I missing something?

Similar to users, I don’t see a field that would take creation date/time in account for topics or posts. The json_generic.rb file appears to take that data, so I assume it gets done at some point.

json_generic.rb
Last set of questions is for this one. I’m trying to understand what kind of format it expects the imported json data to be in. It looks like it is expecting one file with all of the content. Here is an example (missing some fields) that I think it is looking for:

{"topics": [
	{
		"tid": 2,
		"cid": 1,
		"title": "topic_title",
		"user_id": "string_username",
		"raw": "content of first post",
		"blah": "blah"
	},
	{
		"tid": 3,
		"cid": 2,
		"title": "topic_title",
		"user_id": "username for first post",
		"raw": "content of first post",
		"blah": "blah"
	}],
"posts": [
	{
		"pid": 89,
		"user_id": "username",
		"raw": "post content",
		"timestamp": "date"
	}],
"users": [
	{
		"uid": 1,
		"username": "teh g",
		"email": "fake@fake.xyz",
		"joindate": "date"
	}]
}

Customizing colors

The color palette options listed under Admin > Customize > Colors don’t include the grey colour that’s used for some key UI components, like the column headings, the new topic button and the search / hamburger icons:

Is this intentional or should an additional color selector be added for this? I appreciate this can probably be done with CSS, but feels like these key UI components should be covered on the COLOR page.

French translation for selecting a category before typing

Default FAQ page

@BlackKnob wrote:

Shouldn’t the default /faq lead to a separate FAQ page (displaying a dedicated post from the Staff Category) instead of pointing to the same Guidelines page?
If I link “Settings/FAQ Url” to a specific post url in the Staff Category, Discourse creates another tab on the About|Guidelines|FAQ|TOS|Privacy page. When I click on the FAQ tab it will get me directly to its source post (assuming I have sufficient permissions to view it), instead of displaying a FAQ page.

Also, it would be great if the About page displayed a dedicated Staff Category post instead of just the meta tag description from the settings.

Clicking on any of the five tabs should produce consistent results.

Allowing users to control video play speed

@vikaskedia wrote:

We use Discourse ( :+1: ) as a internal training management system. Each concept has a topic of its own.

The video embed feature works really well with one caveat.

Users don’t like watching 5 minute videos at the default speed and want to speed it up 1.25x or 1.5x

Is there a way to give users this control?
