Need RSS feeds for the Top rated topics

Hi, I'm running a WordPress site http://mini4wd.org. Currently I'm using the latest.rss feed to generate a short list for what's happening in the forum on our WordPress based homepage.

It would also be nice to to have RSS feeds for the Top rated topics, so our user can know what's hot in the forum.

Currently following links returns nothing:

https://meta.discourse.org/top.rss

I'm new to discourse so if there's other way to achieve this, please also let me know.

Many Thanks

Should we send notifications for MUTED categories when someone @mentioned user

I learning my users for annoying categories to do muting on their performances.
We muting categories to our lists (TOP, UNREAD, NEW) looks cleaner and to avoid unnecessary messages.
Muting works very good for that purpose but unfortunately my users want to get notifications for muted categories (posts) when someone @mentioned they. I know that I can hide ONE category from from list but We have more than one annoying category
Maybe we can consider to enable notification for muted topics

Discourse taking over Ctrl-F

$

Marcelo Delgado wrote:

Ctrl-F is for searching the page, for example specific text in a conversation (huge use case). Discourse seems to think it knows better and wants to search other conversations for the text. Thus leaving one no way to search the actual page you're on for text. Taking over and changing browser functionality is very bad.

This is happening on Chrome.

Avatars not updating for certain (older) profiles

I just updated to 0.9.9.6 – new system-generated avatars work (and look much better now). Switching to system-generated profile is fine, but certain users are unable to upload their own (example).

I am uploading new pictures to S3 and suspect that the problem has to do with that. Seems as though it only occurs for users that have had an avatar before I switched so S3 uploads (newer users' pictures show up fine). Old ones still point to local.

<mydiscourse.com>/user_avatar/<mydiscourse.com>/zerstoerer/120/5.png

I'm using Digital Ocean and Docker.

Anything I can do? Can I force S3 uploads on older profiles?
Is it possible to migrate older uploads to S3?

(Side note: is S3 even the best way to go at this point?)

Thanks!

edit: I searched for similar issues and installed imagemagick (since people were talking about broken thumbnail generation). Uploading a new picture works now, but it cannot be the same old one for some reason.

New users welcome message when using SSO

Hi,

We've just noticed an issue with new users when using SSO. The PM 'welcome message' is sent, but they don't have a notification (ie, a '1' above notification) when they arrive back on site from signing in. It basically means they never read the welcome message.

Regards,

Question about Discourse's rails source code and use of exec_sql

jon wrote:

Sorry to ask a bit of a naive question but I'm trying to get similar functionality in a rails app I'm working on as something in discourse. I would like to use exec_sql and see it defined in lib/freedom_patches/active_record_base.rb where ActiveRecord::Base is being monkey-patched. The problem that I have is that

def self.exec_sql(*args)
conn = ActiveRecord::Base.connection
sql = ActiveRecord::Base.send(:sanitize_sql_array, args)
conn.execute(sql)
#conn.exec_query(sql) this changes it to getting back a hash
end

will return to me an array and NOT a hash such that if I call:

users=User.exec_sql("select * from users").to_a

I get:

[1,
"me@other.com"
],
 [2,
  "jtjt@some.com",
]

when I really want:

["id":1,
"name":me@other.com"
],
 ["id":2,
  "name":"jtjt@some.com",
]

It looks like changing the call to exec_query (commted out above; based on http://stackoverflow.com/a/10916149/152825 ) achieves that but obviously Discourse uses the former and I'm curious how this is accomplished. Sorry if naive question but would just like to use this. thx

"How to tinker your discourse" advice for beginners using the Docker install?

$

Jonathan wrote:

Hi guys, first of all. I am a bit of an amateur with Rails. I've built some fairly simple apps from scratch with it so far and so the learning curve from something like that to discourse is not... insignificant.

The issue I'm having is that I've deployed using the Docker install not understanding how Docker itself works. I'm going to go and check out the Docker website a bit later and do some tutorials on it.

Basically I want to know how we build upon the Discourse install. The way it is at the moment, I have no friggin' clue. I basically want to use the Discourse install as the basis of the website and build into it as the website app.

What advice do you guys have for someone like me? What is the best way to extend a website based on Discourse using the Docker installation? Do I have the wrong idea?

I've seen this thread and though @zogstrip alludes to how you can install plugins, I really need a high-level understanding on things and am struggling to find the information dotted over the site.

I am really eager to use this as a platform and would really appreciate the push that I need to go in the right direction. Thanks.

Post Hotkeys broken?

Benjamin Kampmann wrote:

Heyah,

is it just me or are the post-specific hotkeys broken? Whatever I do (even marking stuff in a post), when pressing s, r, l, q or any other post-specific hotkey, nothing happens. Neither here, nor on try.discourse.org, not in Firefox (Nightly) nor Chrome (stable) on Mac. No messages in the developer console either. topic-based Hotkeys (like shift r) work though.

Or am I just missing a special trick to make it clear which post I mean?

I'll try to install this weekend. I can install on a sub-domain? example:

mysite.com = Installation of Wordpress from Godaddy
forum.mysite.com = Installation of Discourse of the Digital Ocean

Is it possible? Or do I have to have a domain for each?

Broken styles in docker image

Coubeatczech wrote:

Hi,

I followed the installation instructions: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-digital-ocean.md and successfully installed the discourse. It it working, but there are some glitches, probably mainly in styles. As a new user I can't put a picture here, also I can't put here just two links, so the picture is at: http:\\mmm.jakubryska.name\Discourse.png - just replace the backslashes with slashes and m's with w's

I can see, in the settings of the docker: app.yml:

params:
  ## Which Git revision should this container use?
  version: HEAD

so I guess I can point this version to some other commit with the version of discourse that is not broken. I'm assuming that's possible on the basis of the fact that this instance of the forum doesn't have the bugs. But there are no releases in the docker repo:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker

Can anyone point me out, what I'm doing not correctly?

Thanks

HI want to know if there's way fo go and add/change the header, and for example my site's navigation, same thing with the footer.

I'm using discourse_docker, so I don't know if can go and change some templates in the source code, my first impression is that no I cannot do that, 'cause I won't be able to upgrade smoothly in the future, right?

thanks

Anybody want to put up a Discourse Forum for ForumCon?

Barry Chertov wrote:

www.ForumCon.com is coming to SF on June 19th. They put up an unloved, half-assed forum in support of it using proboards (http://forumcon.proboards.com/) that is largely vacant. I'm not familiar with proboards, but it seems to suffer from all the familiar problems of the other archaic forum software (ie vBulletin).

Sure would be nice if there were a forumcon forum hosted on the discourse platform!! I think it would be a GREAT WAY to get people EXPOSED TO DISCOURSE, and see how it functions in the real world. I can imagine use before, during, and even some after conference use of the forum.

Granted, it's not a perfect use case, but still seems like a good idea.

Hopefully the ForumCon people would be amenable to getting the word out before hand. And there would need to be several people hanging out on the Discourse forum frequently as hosts. (I volunteer, but I'm not that familiar with Discourse yet).
