I wanted to add GitHub OAuth support. So, I went to my list of applications on GitHub, and decided to create a new application. It asked me to specify three things. The "name" and "URL" are easy, but I don't know what to type within "Callback URL" field. What should I specify in this field?

A discussion cannot go forever. Or can it?
Let's say we have discussions that have a limited time range, and others that don't. I'll focus on the ones that have a time limit, and we want to agree on something after discussion.
Do you have any idea on how to do this? Do you want to do it? Will a voting system will be a good add-in for Discourse?
I'm thinking about using Discourse for a political organization: let's talk about things, but let's make decisions as well.

...Yeah, this bit me a little bit earlier, because I started watching
supportto see what the email looked like. Then I went to delete it, and hit save, and walked away, and I was still watching it.I've changed it to
faqfor now so that I don't actually get any emails (because the chance of new faq topics is low).

I am interested in Discourse SEO.
As I know there are big live instances (partners and meta itself) of Discourse at the moment. What is a share of traffic to the site that comes from Google? What should be an expected share after several years of forum existence?
Will any Discourse instance have the same level and share of SE traffic as any Stackexchange site with the same content (for example, if content of games.stackexchange.com is moved to games.discourse.org, provided domains have same rank and trust)?

Can anyone here who successfully installed discourse with email can help me how they set up email?
If I understand correctly @sam advises to forget my install and reinstall anew with his docker setup. Since discourse is working (without email) I am reluctant to do that. Is there anyone here who installed discourse by following official installation guide including email? What did you do to make email work?
@codinghorror suggests that I sent the test email to debug (if I understand correctly) but I cannot send email. So how do I debug email so that it works?
I included by
discourse.confand Mandrill configurations in this question.Another question: Is the advice given in this thread still valid? (Apparently not as @Sam says don't muck with production.rb, no longer supported
I am really looking forward to people joining and using the forum but at this point no one is getting their confirmation email. Is there no way I can fix this?
Edit:
I just saw in admin that there were 4 failed attempts to send email with this error:
Net::SMTPAuthenticationError: 435 4.7.8 Error: authentication failed:This is what I have in my discourse.conf:
hostname = "http://www.nomilkfor.me/" smtp_address = smtp.mandrillapp.com smtp_port = 587 smtp_domain = http://www.nomilkfor.me/ smtp_user_name = azeynel1@gmail.com smtp_password = <my mandrill key> smtp_enable_start_tls = trueWhy is authentication failing? How can I fix it? Is my
smtp_domaincorrect? This is the domain I have in Mandril "sending domains" tab.

I am confused about Mandrill installation instructions. Sorry, this may be a duplicate questions but I did not get answers to my other email-related questions.
The search of the site revealed this answer and I did
sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfixand I got
z@ubuntu:/var/www/discourse/config$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix * Stopping Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix [ OK ] Postfix configuration was untouched. If you need to make changes, edit /etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed. To view Postfix configuration values, see postconf(1). After modifying main.cf, be sure to run '/etc/init.d/postfix reload'. Running newaliases * Stopping Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix [ OK ] * Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix [ OK ] z@ubuntu:/var/www/discourse/config$ /etc/init.d/postfix reload * Reloading Postfix configuration...I assume that this means postfix is running and I don't have to make any changes.
I created a key in Mandrill and put that in
discourse.conffile as my password.What else do I need to do? When I try to send the test email, it says "sent" but email is not sent.
In Mandrill set up, I cannot remember if "any valid API key" needs to be changed to my API key if so I cannot change it, because the edit button on the right does not exist.
In Mandrill, in sending domains tabs I have this:
Do I need to fix the DKIM and SPF fields as instructed here? The sending domain before was
discourse.org. Should I put it back? Are the mails sent bydiscourse.orgor my domain?Can you help clear up some of the confusion? Thanks.

I've been away from the community for a bit, but I recently pulled some updates and am generally just confused by this GlobalSetting class. I searched around here and am starting to understand it a little bit, but was hoping someone might be able to help me fully understand.
It sort of just seems like a way to centralize a lot of the config settings, like Redis, email, etc. into one file. But is the only way to know what to put in a discourse.conf by seeing that GlobalSetting class pop up in various places? I guess that's sort of what this post is getting at?
Anyways, this update broke a few things for me: email (which honestly, I think I'll stick with my hard coded settings in production.rb, I don't really see the benefit to pulling it out of there), and more challengingly, it broke a plugin I had that added a button to the main nav. I'm struggling with understanding how to get that button back (I had previously hardcoded it into the ember nav item model), particularly since the "available nav items" is also a SiteSetting.
EDIT:
Apologies, but the nav items issue isn't actually a GlobalSetting, but I think a SiteSetting. idk I'm still confused. I tried pushing a symbol to Discourse.top_menu_items array via the console but not sure how to commit.

I often have a Discourse instance open as a pinned tab (AKA application tab), to save some precious pixels. My browser (Chrome 31) rewards this with blinking the tab whenever something's new.
The problem: This event fires way too often, even if nothing changes. In particular, it fires if I switch to another tab. So my tab is left blinking constantly.I found out Chrome does this whenever the page title changes. After some more searching, I found the page title is updated in Discourse every time the focus changes!

- Is it really necessary to observe that property?
- If yes, can we add a check to only change the title property if it's different from the last one?

If a topic gets long, naturally people may not read every post. Someone may comment without realizing that their opinion has already been voiced and replied to.
Rather than replying to them with a quote from above and adding another post to the topic as a whole, perhaps there could be a feature where users can refer each other to previously posed comments within a topic. The references could appear in a similar fashion as quotes do already except that these would not be appended to the entire topic, but just appended to the comment of the user who must be referred to a previous post.
Might make for a much more streamlined experience.
I find that often, I want to respond to someone's comments, but my response would add nothing new to the conversation. So I do nothing because I don't want to overcrowd a topic.

I'm started a simple Node wrapper for Discourse. The code is open if anyone wants to use it:
https://github.com/dhyasama/discourse-api
Anyway, I can create a user and then get the user, but can't approve or activate the user via the api. I get a 404. FWIW, I can do both via the Discourse admin interface. Here are the calls I make:
PUT admin/users/[id]/approve?api_key=[my-api-key]&api_username=[my-username]
PUT admin/users/[id]/activate?api_key=[my-api-key]&api_username=[my-username]
I took a look at the network traffic in Chrome when doing this within the admin interface and it appears right. I also confirmed the id in the PUT url is the one from the newly created user.
Any ideas?
