Hey!

There are some forum softwares that allow people to create custom pages using BBCode (in this case it would be markdown). Here is how I would see it:

At the bottom of the Content tab in the admin panel would be a button that said "new". When you click it, you can enter a title, slug (url), and content. Pretty simple I guess.

There is a branch created by another user so it might now be that hard to implement. https://github.com/potthast/discourse/tree/custom-static-pages

Maybe before 1.0.0?

when you just reply it is fine, but if you navigate to another page you lose association that the draft is for a private message.

How is having a link-able json resource in the error message is beneficial to the end user.

I understand how having it for development or getting issue reports from clients, but does it have to be linkable?

1. should we reveal underline objects to the user. why not telling the user for example
   while trying to load /users/lid/activity and then link to the actual page that failed to load

1. click on search button

   403

you will get

now clicking on "show more" button
will result in , yes the same result, the main difference is that the "show more" button is not going to work anymore

Expected behavior:

I am not sure if the system knows ahead of time if there are more results or not at that point.

if it does it probably should not show the more result button or disable it.

if it doesn't it should show a message of
no more results and a back button when the user click on it. is right now it does reload the the list with the same result.

I was curious for quite sometime to know what is the purpose of this ajax request

When the user is inside a topic the browser will initiate this request every few seconds.
/topics/timings

what does it do ? and how important is it?

Last night I updated Discourse and I was 100+ commits behind. After that all avatars (multisite) were gone. Registering new accounts would also have no avatar.

Did I miss a new setting or requirement? I know about the changes in the avatar system, but that worked fine. Something in the last 100+ commits changed this. Even the automatically generated avatars don't work anymore.

And no, nothing in the logs.

BTW, I use Amazon S3, but all avatars now point to http://domain.ext/user_avatar/domain.ext/username/64/125.png, etc.

Two components to this plugin. I haven't tested the "admins must approve all user signups" nor been on the receiving end of flag notifications, so maybe #1 is done already.

1. Moderators & admins get a "Mod Queue" added to their profile.
2. Admins can select all kinds of automatic actions to go through this queue for approval.

Some examples:

• Leader promotions (see this and this.
• Certain types of badges
• Title changes by Leaders
• New tags added (see this)

For rare occurrences, I think this could work well. For instance Leader promotion happens rarely enough that it might as well require one last OK from a human, which also forms a stronger bond of trust if the promotee know that's required. Same for badges.

Things like title changes and tags are trickier though, since these are actions that benefit from immediacy. In their case it might work better to add them pre-approved to the queue, available for quick disapproval when deemed necessary.

Note: This is more of an observation than a request.

I prefer to do long-form reading on my tablet, and today I actually encountered a post that met this criteria. I decided to see what "add to pocket" would do.

It appears when Pocket encounters pages that it doesn't recognise as an article, it simply stores the entire page offline. In Discourse's case, that means the no-JS version, and any pages you haven't loaded in will not be included, so I only got the #15-#34 range for instance, which makes sense.

Worked quite nicely actually, except the width is a bit off. I've sent them an e-mail to see if they're interested in lending a hand for better compatibility.

When I click on the "Top" item in the Discourse menu on my install, I see This Month displayed without the initial column to star them (see the example in the attached image marked A). If I click to another view offered at the bottom of the list, such as This Year, I see the initial column (see the example in the attached image marked B). Further, if I then click back to the This Month view from the view offered at the bottom, I now see the initial column (see the example in the attached image marked C). Finally, on my iPad the Top Monthly view without the initial column becomes very cramped, appearing to not have the same padding or margin as the other views.

Hi all,

I am trying to remove the topic map (would rather not get into why) and I have added:

.topic-map {
    display: none;
}

to the Stylesheet section of the CSS and HTML Customizations section of the customize menu. When I click preview everything seems to be applied correctly. But when enable is clicked and the customization is saved, the changes seem to not be applied.

Is there something I am missing?

I am using the bitnami install version 0.9.9.12-0 which I believe is relatively current.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,

From ImportScripts::Base:

def create_user(opts, import_id)
  existing = User.where(email: opts[:email).downcase, username: opts[:username]).first
  #...
  opts[:username] = UserNameSuggester.suggest((opts[:username].present? ? opts[:username] : nil) || opts[:name] || opts[:email])
  #...
end

Since users are always created with sanitized, cleaned usernames via UserNameSuggester, shouldn't that value be used in the where clause above rather than the original source's name?

Why is that check even there when @existing_users should already contain all previously imported users?

Edit: Also, opts[:username] is then stored in custom_fields["import_username"] even though it was previously overwritten... Is this intended? 'Cause if so, I don't get it.

Trouble embedding Discourse as a comment engine using GitHub Pages and DigitalOcean

Hi all!

I followed the instructions on how to embed Discourse as a comment engine by @eviltrout and I'm having some issues that I can't seem to resolve on my own. I'm hoping that someone here can point me in the right direction.

About the Setup

My domain points to a static GitHub Pages organization site baked with Jekyll. The root domain is configured, as per GitHub's instructions, with two A records. The www sub-domain is configured with a CNAME record. Both the apex and sub-domain point to the same place.

My Discourse installation is using the DigitalOcean 1GB / Docker setup. The discourse sub-domain is configured with an A record that points to the IP of my droplet. I am using version 0.9.9.12 of Discourse.

Here is my Discourse embedding configuration:

Here is the client bit:

The Problem

When I push a new post to the blog, it takes forever to show up as a topic on Discourse. Yesterday, after completing the configuration, it took several hours for the one blog post we have to show up in Discourse. Today, after pushing two new blog posts at the same time, the first showed up almost immediately while it has been at least an hour and a half and the second post has yet to show up.

Additionally, when I visit a blog post that does not have a corresponding topic in Discourse, this is the result:

Screenshot from 2014-07-12 15:04:11.png826x310 45.7 KB

The Loading Discussion... message is displayed in the iFrame for a minute or two, then the above error is displayed in the console. I thought I read somewhere that when a post is visited, the topic would be automatically created if it doesn't exist. I could be wrong about this.

Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but when I type in my root domain, I notice that the browser will flash for a split second the www prefixed sub-domain. I read that GitHub will automatically create redirects between the apex and www sub-domain.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

The concept

• A topic title only show once in the notifications area
• Each notification type - gets a button with a link to the related post
• New notification is marked blue
• Old is just gray so you still know it is a button
• Each notification under a topic is ordered by time. (new is left most)
• If two notifications are from the same user on the same post and they are no longer new they can join to one button

The good

• The user gets to see in a more organized way the notifications per topic, allow the user easily see whats going on a the topic.

• it reduces some repetitiveness and might make the view easier to read

The bad

• The concept is topic oriented so the user lose the chronological order of notifications on the macro. which might not make a big impact on the functionality.

The ugly

• the concept can use some more design improvements.

Compare to the current notification area

I belive if this concept will be implemented somewhere in the future, it should be a configurable option as I believe it is subjective preference.

What do you think which view to you prefer more?

Description of issue

An external link counter CTRL+LMB ( left mouse button) will not open link in new tab and will increase the counter by one on each click while the CTRL button is down.

Instruction to reproduce

press down the control button on the keyboard and use the mouse left button and click on the gray circle next to external link.

Expected behavior: assuming that the external counter is part of the clickable link when using ctrl+LMB the link should open in a new tab.

secondary issue

-2. counter increase when user right click on counter or associated link, multiple times
this can make sense if the user is using the context menu to open tab, so this might not be an issue per say.
but counter should probably only increase once as long as the user is on the page.
