What is "allow duplicate topic titles"

What "allow duplicate topic titles"?

Does that mean that one url would be:

/bla/1

and another would be

/bla/2?

How would the urls work?

Replying to a deleted topic returns a cryptic message

One repro is (as admin)

  1. Go to PM
  2. In another window delete PM
  3. Reply to PM

You will get a weird 500 error as opposed to a message telling you the PM was deleted.

This may also be the case for standard topics

404 Error For Default User

If you create a new docker discourse installation, the avatar for the default user will work, but if you click any post then the avatar link is broken. In other words, the system users avatars are all missing but the 25x25 size.

Characters retrieved from RSS feed converted to unicode

Eduardo wrote:

Hi.

While testing the embedding feature it turns out that special characters such as accentuated vocals and apostrophe are shown as unicode code in the post' titles.

For example the title "Buscan ONG’s alertar sobre FRACKING en Chihuahua" feeded from the rss file http://www.elagora.com.mx/spip.php?page=discourse.xml is shown as "Buscan ONG’s alertar sobre FRACKING en Chihuahua" in my discourse instance: http://motin.mx/t/buscan-ong-8217-s-alertar-sobre-fracking-en-chihuahua/4265

I tried including unicode code in the rss feed hoping that discourse would convert it to regular characters -but that didn't work.

Any ideas to fix it?

Window sizes < 792px have unusable header bar

Per the title. This makes it impossible to use the site without increasing the viewport size. Worse, the "Mobile View" button is squirreled away in the hamburger menu that is inaccessible!

Archive/Trash Bin

Is there something like an Archive or Trash Bin where when someone (OP, or mods) deletes their post, admins can see it?

It would be really useful in viewing history since my forum is money related.

Links to/from topics dont seem to be working all the time

RedBlue wrote:

Not 100% sure of the terminology but links to/from topics don't always seem to be working - when I say links, I mean the links shown to the right of the topic as shown in the image below:

When I say not working, they aren't displaying.

Initially, I though it was to do with permissions, as we have an FAQ category with the following permissions:

admin: can Create/Reply/See
everyone: can Reply/See
moderators can Create/Reply/See

The idea being that you can reply to FAQ questions, but not create new ones (dont ask!)

Yet, we have another category with the same permissions (in the same order) but the links work.

I'm not sure what else I need to do to track this down?

Private Categories for Groups?

0

Brian wrote:

Is it possible ... and if so what is the proper way, to create a private Category for a newly defined Group?

Here is the use case I'm interested in:

Most of my community forum will be public, but several groups of people have requested a private section (category) that should only be visible to their members.

Would the following accomplish this task? ...

  1. Create a group for them (GroupA).
  2. Create a Category (again called CategoryA, with permissions only assigned to the GroupA group).

Following the group and category creations, I would invite or add existing members to that particular Group (or, could I assign a "GroupA" moderator permission to do that? Can mods send invites?)

Is this a scenario anyone has seen before or currently using? This would be done multiple times for different groups (ie. GroupA->CategoryA, GroupB->CategoryB, etc, etc)

Thanks,
Brian

Cannot post to Discourse through Email anymore?

Austin H wrote:

Hi, in the past few days I haven't been able to post to Discourse through email. I've been getting the following error:

We're sorry, but your email message to ["email@address.com"] didn't work.

There was a problem with the formatting. Try again with less formatting, or no formatting.

The subject was "hi" and the information was just "hi." I didn't have anything formatted so I don't quite see what could be interrupting it, as far as formatting goes. I don't believe I received an error message in my admin notifications either. Any idea what could be going on? Configuration is pretty much identical to something that was working previously.

Better copy on global update message

The text:

Discourse has been updated, would you like to refresh to get the latest version?

Can be confusing because most of site's visitors are not familiar with Discourse. Ideally this could be customized to present the particular brand's messaging, but let's not let that get in the way of a common sense update like:

This site has been updated, would you like to refresh to get the latest version?

Bet this would be a 1 minute change smile

Hey!

Is there an option for reserving usernames? I cant find it. There should be a textarea where we can just have a list of reserved usernames where users cant sign up with those.

Discourse doesn't play nice with signatures?

0

Austin H wrote:

Hi. I've noticed that when emailing in to a discourse instance, a signature is never formatted properly. This is what something looked like when I email in with a signature:

Foo barAustin HMy-JobMy-CompanyMy-EmailMy-phone

The original signature was formatted like this. (Note: the hyphens were added just to make things hopefully easier to distinguish.)

Austin H

My Job
My Company
My Email
My Phone

It seems like whatever the email parser is doing, it isn't properly distinguishing newlines introduced from the pre-formatted signature. When I send in an email with newlines, it DOES read them into the post properly. I get output like this:

Hi I am going to test this

By including newlines that I manually added.

But not the ones that came from my signature.

Austin H

MyJob MyCompany MyEmail MyPhone

Has anybody else experienced this?

Edit: I've tested this with Microsoft's Outlook.com, and IBM's Lotus Notes. Similar results with both of them.

Split up the activity column in latest page

Continuing the discussion from Sorting The Topic List:

+1, it should be possible to sort by the two columns under "Activity" on the /latest page. It'd also be great if the headings described what those numbers/dates represent. smile

UI - reply to post link does not sync with the address bar URL & some other issues

lid wrote:

When replying to a post in a private message thread you get a message in the reply section header

Replying to post 4 by ...

post 4 is actually a link to the post (#) , clicking the link will try to scroll the window to the actual post position,
On the first mouse click on the link the url in the address bar may show the wrong post id.
it will show /4 in the url momentarily but then in my browser it jumped to /2
then clicking again actually preserved the /4 untill i manually scrolled the page.

Expected behavior:
when clicking on the link the url should reflect the correct post_id on the first click

browser chrome 35.0/windows 8

somehow the code that calculate the post id on the scroll is invoked and return the wrong post id, timing issue possibly.
