Hey,

This is a dumb question. When I first installed Discourse, I remember seeing a thread for forum users on how to use the forum with images. Seems like that page disappeared, or am I confused? Anyone?

In this topic, it was decided that Try would not get continuous deployments because it is more of a demo site.

But I think there could be a place for a continuously deployed test site / sandbox (test.discourse.org?)

Not an urgent matter by any means, but throwing it out there as food for thought.

So you want to redirect www to non-www domain? Great, let's get started!

In this tutorial we'll show how to redirect www.example.com to example.com.

Add DNS Record

Add the A record for www same as that of original domain, here is the sample A record for www from Namecheap:

www_dns.png700x26 3.18 KB

Edit Configuration FIle

Open configuration file app.yml. From console, run these commands:

cd /var/docker
git pull
nano containers/app.yml

Configuration file will open in nano editor. Search for hooks (with Ctrl+W) in the file:

hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - mkdir -p plugins
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git

Add after_web_config block to the hooks (proper indentation is important):

hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - mkdir -p plugins
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
  after_web_config:
    - replace:
        filename: "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf"
        from: /sendfile.+on;/
        to: |
          server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
          sendfile on;
    - replace:
        filename: /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf
        from: server_name _ ;
        to: server_name example.com;
    - replace:
        filename: "/etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf"
        from: /server.+{/
        to: |
          server {
            listen 80;
            server_name www.example.com;
            return 301 $scheme://example.com$request_uri;
          }
          server {

Replace example.com with your_domain.com and www.example.com with www.your_domain.com.

After completing your edits, press Ctrl+O then Enter to save and Ctrl+X to exit.

Rebuild Container

Run this command:

./launcher rebuild app

Congratulations, that's it! Try visting www.your_domain.com, it will redirect to your_domain.com!

I really like the category logo images and have been setting them up for all categories on the Kabissa forum. But I am realizing that I need to resize and crop the images so they display properly on computers and smartphones.

See the screenshots below for what is happening now. Looks great on computer, too big on smartphone.

So my question to the community is this: what are the ideal dimensions for category logo images? Or is there an option to not display logos on mobile devices with small screens? Or perhaps are there plans in the works to enable discourse sites to serve up differently sized images on different devices?

Thanks much!

Recently I saw a talk from Massimo Banzi. He have argued that even if it is a bit the mess, people should have the right to speak in their own language and not in english. Actually, the Arduino community is quite successful and has a multi-language forum/documentation so it seems to work.

Here there are discussions about having multi-forum per language or multi-language for this forum but I did not find any people feedback about enabling multi-language discussions on one forum.

So what is for you, the best and efficient way to do it with Discourse?
Basically, do you think it is better to use category per language or tag/language ? Or several english categories + languages categories (similar to the arduino forum) ?

I would need at least English-French-Spanish-Italian-German.

When clicking on the site logo to return to the main topic list on IE 11 the page is frequently populated with stale data. Forcing a refresh fixes the problem.

Some simple steps to reproduce..

1. Create a new topic and return to the main topic list (i.e. the application root).
2. Go back into the topic and modify the category.
3. When returning to the main list the post reverts back to the original category
4. Also going back into the post again will revert the category there too.

This was reported on our own meta area today, just fired up IE 11 and and can confirm this behaviour. It seems IE 11 likes to pull everything from the cache or is ignoring your headers?

Here's my user-agent:

Dear Russian speaking community!

Currently, Russian translation cannot be finalized because there are some issues that need your attention and approval. If you run a Russian version of Discourse, you should have noticed that the home page has many untranslated strings here and there that spoil the page:

I'm trying to sort out the Russian pluralization rules once and for all, and I've proposed a solution to @neil and @techAPJ in private messaging.

While I've discussed my proposed solutions with some Russian-speaking developers this side, a confirmation from Discourse community is still needed, so please either support or criticize but do not pass by if you speak Russian.

Introduction

For translations to be possible, there is a function which returns a translation key based on a number.

For example, for English there are only two keys:
1 => one
2, 3, 4, ... => other

Thus, there are only two versions of any string in English - for one and for many things.

For example:
1 => one => 1 cat
20 => other => % cats => 20 cats

For every language, a particular set of keys can be defined in order to allow translators to pluralize strings correctly. So, some languages need only 2 keys, but others, as Russian, need 3 or even more.

Problem

So, we have to translate, for example, % message(s) to Russian:

• 1 сообщение (the suffix is e)
• 2 сообщения (the suffix is я)
• 3 сообщения
• 4 сообщения
• 5 сообщений (the suffix is ий)
• ... and so on

We can see that there are 3 versions, and they cover all possible numbers.

There are currently 2 problems with pluralization keys for Russian:

Problem 1. There are 4 keys while we need only 3. The keys are: one, few, many, other

Problem 2. The current keys are not intuitive and make no sense.
While it may seem that few is for 2 to 4 (2,3,4 сообщения), it is actually wrong because 15102 will also use the same suffix - 15102 сообщения, but it is nowhere near few.

So, while there are 4 keys in the system instead of 3, and while the keys are named not intuitively, we will continue struggling bad and/or incomplete Russian translation for Discourse.

I want to fix it once and for all and to finalize the Russian translations, but I cannot before you, the community members, say YES for the solution described below, or critisize it - that's what Discrouse team requires!

Solution

The solution is simple - I propose to use 3 keys: one, two and five.

Firstly, it covers all possible keys, which can be seen here: http://jsfiddle.net/V2f93/5/

Secondly, I guess it should be very intuitive for any translator to understand which translation to make for which key.

While it is not clear what is difference between few and many (old keys),
it is very clear what is two and five (proposed keys).

So for example for % message(s) we will have 3 keys with the following Russian translations:

one => 1 сообщение
two => % сообщения
five => % сообщений

While for English we have only two keys:

one => 1 message
other => % messages

Please vote!

Now what is important is your opinion.
If you would bee a translator, would you understand what translation to write in a box like this?

Please vote, and if you don't like the idea, then please propose your own keys!

• I support one, two, five
• I support one, two, other
• I want to keep one, few, many
• I want to propose a better idea (please explain in a reply to this topic)
• I do not understand what this all is about
• I would like to vote, but the explanations above are unclear and confusing!

Thank you for your time and attention.

The explanation

So this isn't well documented at all, but new versions of Internet Explorer have a "feature" which transparently and aggressively caches everything. My experience of this comes from developing Windows Phone apps (via HttpClient), where repeated calls to a given API endpoint would return the same payload - it won't even ask the server if it has changed, but instead just returns what was cached previously. I believe the caching is based on the URL, because a workaround to this is to attach a random query string onto the end of the URL.

An example implementation can be seen in my Last.fm .NET library:

An alternative solution which I haven't tested and don't fully understand:

Previously I believed this only applied to Windows Phone. But I am seeing the same kind of behaviour in IE11 Desktop and Metro when using Discourse - a potential reason is Microsoft's continuing march to One Codebase For Everything.

The problem

1. Visit main page and observe topic counters and stuff
2. Left click on a topic link (in order to clear a counter)
3. Read a bit/ wait until you know the main page will have changed due to new activity
4. Click the logo to go back to the main page
5. Observe the page being the same as it was when you left.

A manual refresh is required to get the new state.

I could be doing something wrong, pinning the blame wrongly on IE when Discourse is at fault, but I don't think so because I don't see the same thing happening in Firefox.

Can anyone else reproduce this?

---

P.S. if anyone is wondering why I'm opening so many IE related issues lately it's because I figured that since I'm fairly unique in being an active user of Windows and Windows Phone 8+ - most dev people don't use IE habitually - I thought it'd be a good way to help out. After all, over 50% of real people still use IE.

One of the things I'm loving about Discourse is the badges and Trust system which is why I'm considering installing it.

My community is very label driven; they take pride in the different identities (psychology MBTI, Astrological etc..) they belong to.

I've always found that starting new forums is pretty difficult so creating "egocentric" incentives is always an advantage.

My question is, would it be possible to have a small icon, or a text status ribbon that describes the different labels these people identify with? And if so, is it possible to have multiple badges/statuses?

I was thinking of creating groups so that each person could join and then once they are a member of it, it can display an icon or colorful text ribbon under their username. Or maybe self-assigned from a list of badges available based on the users level?

What other incentive driven features are available for Discourse?

Continuing the discussion from Multisite configuration with Docker:

I love Discourse and first want to just say 'thanks' to you guys for your work on an excellent application.

But...

Gahh, I hate having to say that...but, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed when I read some Discourse threads - for example the one I've linked to above (multisite configuration).

Over time these threads get cluttered. For example, with the thread I added below:

I'm wondering how you guys envision folks consuming this post in the best way possible currently...and if you have any ideas for how to make it more easily consumed in the future?

I'd suggest that a "cleaning" mechanism of some sort would be quite handy. For example, the above thread I made is old news. It really is pretty useless - @riking made the necessary edit - the related posts are now "useless."

A cleaning mechanism might work something like this (and I'm just spitballing here trying to be helpful )

• One could select a thread of posts and "collapse" them. They would remain part of the same thread, in the same location, but individuals would click on them collapsed version to expand and see the full thread. This way the info. is still accessible, but isn't cluttering up what's really important.
• One could have a "break into new topic" option that would pull off this specific sub-thread into a new topic....err, it should probably be an old topic, otherwise everyone would see this useless info. as unread when they next visited the site.
• The moderator could just delete the clutter.
• Users could be responsible for deleting their own clutter.

Currently when you click "Dismiss Unread" we flip the tracking status on all topics in the list to "Regular".

The way I see it there are two use cases for the button.

1. I just need some breathing room, empty the list for now.

2. I don't care about these topics anymore.

At the moment we are taking definition #2. So I think we should be explicit of the effect, otherwise people who misunderstand it to be #1, get a rude surprise.

Can I rename "Dismiss Unread" to "Stop Tracking Topics" or "Stop Tracking" ?
