Hi,

I am trying to figure out information such as the people who posted the most, the people who responded the most, the pairs who interacted the most. I have downloaded dump.sql file but not sure what each variable represents. Is there any place I can find the reference?

Thanks!

Using Discourse for a short while, majorly impressed!

This may (probably is) not the best place to say this - but thank you!

I’ve only been using Discourse for a short while now, but am majorly impressed! Not just with the software (a forum with 1000 members of which between 50 and 100 are online at any given time - 70K+ daily views and NO HEADACHES for me!), but also with the opennes of the community and the speed of development.

So again: Thank you!

GDPR compliance solution - pls critique

@needhelp wrote:

I have read some of the GDPR threads here, doesn’t seem like we have a consensus as to how to handle the compliance at the moment.

Here’s what I am planning to do with the forum I manage for the time being until a better solution comes along. It is an ALL OR NOTHING approach if people want to use the forum, can someone please read and offer your feedback?

  1. For new users who register on or after May 25 - make it mandatory on sign up page that the following 5 boxes must all be checked before someone can create a new account

-terms of use
-privacy
-agree to receive email digest
-agree to IP address being stored
-agree to cookies

Have I missed anything? What else can I add?

  1. For existing users who wish to login to the forum on or after May 25, there will be a popup asking the user to check all 5 boxes before they can continue to use the forum, if they do not check all 5 boxes, they cannot login.

I am not sure how to implement this, if somone can help me with this step, please let me know, I can open a project in Marketplace to compensate you for your time.

  1. Users who wish to terminate their account and obtain an export of all their personal data and activities - I am not sure how to handle this as of now, will deal with it when I receive the request. My site is small, I know Discourse already provide means for users to download his posts or activities to a certain extent, worst comes to worst I will manually print out all the user’s posts and email him/her on a request by request basis.

Have I missed anything else that needs to be addressed under GDPR compliance?

Would appreciate any feedback and advice from the veteran posters here.

Thank you

Posting needs approval - no reason for holding post given

@JanJoost wrote:

Hi there!

I’d like to ask your help with the following:
For some reason some of our forum user’s posts are held for approval and I can’t seem to find out why.

The approval queue just shows me the avatar, name, content and the buttons for approval and rejection, but not a reason why. I first thought this could have something to do with the skin so I switched skins, but alas.

Attached are two (anonymised, for privacy) screenshots of what I see. The three anonymised blocks contain the avatar, the name and the text of the post.

I did check the settings for approval/moderation, but they shouldn’t match (no filter words, etc). The users themselves have been active for some time now and are level 1 and 2. Also: This wasn’t a problem yesterday, but is a problem today.

Finally: I checked the logs in /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/var-log but nothing relevant there.

Any hints, suggestions or explanations why I’m an idiot are more than welcome :slight_smile:

Some background info:

  • Forum with 1000+ accounts, at the time of writing around 90 active online
  • Software version 2.0.0.beta9 +198

Accessing Custom Plugin Settings

@Gnisha wrote:

Hello.

I’ve read some of the guides on creating your own plugins along with accessing custom plugin settings, but so far I haven’t been able to get anything to work.

So, I have the following in my settings.yml:

plugins:
  twilio_sms_enabled:
    default: false
  twilio_account_sid:
  twilio_auth_token:
  twilio_from_number:

The fields do show up in the Admin Settings, etc.

How would I go about accesing these settings in the .hbs templates? This has been driving me crazy the past few days :confused:

I’ve tried {{{SiteSetting.twilio_account_sid}}} and {{{Discourse.SiteSettings.twilio_account_sid}}} but it doesn’t display anything?

The overall purpose of the plugin I’m creating is to implement an SMS Verification system using Twilio on top of the email address verification system.

What is Discourse's opinion on React

@TheBestPessimist wrote:

If I am saying stupid stuff, please correct me as i don’t know how to “web” stuff. I posted this so that i can hear the opinions of more experienced developers, along with some examples if there are any.

I know that Discourse uses Ember for UI stuff but right now, i see that all the craze is for Facebook’s React and (to a lesser extent?) for Vue or Angular.

What is your opinion on other UI frameworks? Would others be interesting for Discourse? What should a noob like myself get into? (right now i am learning from freeCodeCamp )

Why do you like ember and not the others?

Note that I am asking this as I have a long term wish: I want to make a ~utility~ website for someone in which to store as much details about “paleontology” stuff as possible. The items have to be indexable, searchable, comparable, must have lots of details, location, pictures, can refer to each other, blah, blah.

So far i have only been a backend developer (java), and all this frontend world seems super-mega-much-more complicated.

Possible to show users what platforms are linked to their account?

@dmr83457 wrote:

We are considering building out some functionality around tools which may require the user to have their discourse account linked to one or more platforms.

I have logged into meta.discourse with various social media logins however I’m not seeing an indicator that my user account is linked to those platforms.

Is there currently a way to show users what platforms their account is linked to and provide a way to link to one they are not currently linked to?

Selecting a subcategory, sort order in category selector?

@Mundobizarro wrote:

Hi everyone.

This is my first post.

My question is regarding the scrolldown menu when creating a new post.

I just made five new sub-categories under a “parent category”.
These 5 next to the red arrow.
Screenshot_4

Now this works all fine.

However,when i create a new Topic and i would like to enter in which of these sub-categories the Topic has to be put, those are all shown completely at the bottom of my scrolldown menu. And not directly under the parent category.

Now how can i make sure those sub-categroes are put directly under the parent categery in de drop down meny. If they are all the way down, people just select the parent categroy ( in this case Hand histories) instead of the right sub category.

I hope i made myself clear somehow.

If not please let me know i will explain somehow else

Thanks for your help in advance!

Incorrect icon showing for links to topic in the forum

@McBlu wrote:

Hello. I want to share this topic on social media which is posted to my forum WE THE PEOPLE journal:

However, it is not showing the correct icon in the link. It should be showing the bullhorn icon:

WTP_LOGO_03_SM_2

Instead, it is showing the icon for the first linked article within the topic itself ( a Daily Camera news article):

38%20PM

Here, you can see at the top of the topic, the first linked article is a Daily Camera article, and somehow the Daily Camera icon is what is being pulled to add to the shared link:

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Maybe this can be improved?

$4.5 Alicloud can't get discouse to work

Hello, @codinghorror
Let’s start with my renting server spec: $4.5 Alicloud 1gb RAM & 1 CPU

  1. My DNS A-record point to server public ip where I also use this ip for ssh.
  2. I follow this already discourse/INSTALL-cloud.md at master · discourse/discourse · GitHub
  3. discourse setup
Hostname for your Discourse? **discourse.xxx.com<-- same as DNS **
Email address for admin account(s)? [me@example.com,you@example.com]: 
SMTP server address? [smtp.example.com]: 
SMTP port? [587]: 
SMTP user name? [user@example.com]: 
SMTP password? [pa$word]: 
Let's Encrypt account email? (ENTER to skip) [me@example.com]: 

After access URL ip only and discourse.xxx.com, it doesn’t connect me to admin setup page. I am very sad now and will sleep. Hope someone here can guide me through this infinite loop hole that I stuck in. Please!

** something worth mention: I believe I setup SMTP incorrectly, I can rebuild by fixing app file later, but first let get to the first setup welcome page first.

I am depressed. T_T

Sincerely,
Sea

Hey everyone,

So here is today’s topic I’m disseminating locally:

I’d like to make the two self-made youtube videos (which are embedded in the topic by simply adding a link) stretch to fit the width of the topic just like the oneboxed links and photos do.

Is that possible?

Can someone point me to a simple guide or set of actions to take that succesfull worked in bringing in user to their community?

My community is for people studying for the CPA exam and I want it to be a place where people can ask their questions about the exam, and then a place to get career advice. I eventually plan to have a job board so I can monetize. I will also include a blog.

Thank you for your help everyone.
