(Really minor) Capitalisation of category names, intentional?

James Milligan wrote:

Not sure if this is a bug or a decision made previously (can't find the topic at the moment). In the <title> for the page, the category name is capitalised regardless of the actual category name. For example on Meta, ux shows as Ux in the browser title.

Upgrading on azure - can I provide a user other than root?

Del Boy Trotter wrote:

I want to upgrade my doscourse installation but the auto upgrade page complains that it doesn't have access to folders - permission denied

I am guessing this is because I don't have access to root - only the default azureuser account

Is there anyway around this?

Invalid topic title error not fully localized

probus wrote:

The error you get when trying to create a new topic with an invalid title is not completely localized. The word "Title" here is not localized. The rest of it is either is_invalid or activerecord.errors.messages.is_invalid, don't know which since they are identical.

Also, breaking sentences into parts like this is not good practice, imo. It often makes the translations unnecessary google translatorish.

What do you guys think of giving users the option to hide their username/avatar from the top toolbar.

For privacy reasons you might not want that visible all the time.

Activity first/last post isn't intuitive - it made me think

Is there a way to quote something that was said on a different Discourse instance?

I know I can manually quote it, but I'd like Discourse to add the link arrows and have the expand functionality that it present in non manual quotes.

I've tried searching but there's a lot of noise when you search for anything involving quotes.

Permalink to Discourse search

Dan Fabulich wrote:

We're importing a Vanilla forum to Discourse; as part of this migration, I'm writing a PHP script to 301 redirect old Vanilla URLs to new Discourse URLs. I've got most of them hooked up properly, but I'm having trouble with search URLs. I don't see a way to 301 redirect a user to a Discourse search result.

https://meta.discourse.org/search returns "200 OK" but displays a 404-ish error message, "The page you requested doesn't exist or is private." (That seems like a "soft 404," a bug.)

How, if at all, can I link to a Discourse search result page?

Setting the default image for facebook sharing

How is the image that shows up on Facebook determined? Is it possible to have a separate settings field for a default image?

Right now it's showing my full logo by default which is too wide. Is there an easy way to change it so that it will default to the square logo instead?

Editing wiki post shows incorrect HTML diff

James Milligan wrote:

See image below. This is editing a post to add the two lines near the bottom (which are diffed correctly). The incorrect diffs are the image (which hasn't been altered, and refers to the same file in both), and the first paragraph. Looks like some sort of encoding issue (the quote mark in you'd appears to cause the highlight).

Suggestion: # of likes in a topic in the tool tip

You'll find me on what.thedailywtf.com wrote:

Continuing the discussion from Does anyone actually like the "Likes" column?:

After the dissapearance of the "likes" column, why not display the information in the tool tip?

When you mouse over the number of posts in the "posts" column, it displays something like "there are posts in this topics".

Why not change that to "<number1> posts, <number2> likes"

Pin topic to groups page

Admir Hodzic wrote:

In my discource I have many "public" groups.
For each group We open one topic to describe that group to invite users to join and give us suggestions.
For every group we share access links so users can see members given group and also posts.
It will be nice to we be able to pin one topic at top of that page.
So when I am at "group" page I can go to pined (refereed) topic by singe click.

Update feature and plugins and custom modifications

wrote:

How does the update feature work in respect to plugins? Since a plugin is by definition following a convention is it safe to assume an update will not break a plugin? (assuming the plugin isn't using API that has changed).

If an Discourse install has custom (intrusive) modifications to the core, what exactly will the update do currently?

I moved my site and broke the links to file uploads

Optimae wrote:

I recently moved a Discourse installation to a subdomain and I've just noticed that all the images and files are pointing to the primary domain name.

I found this: https://meta.discourse.org/t/do-uploaded-files-use-absolute-links/11920/2 which suggests using the avatar:regenerate rake task but I'm not sure how to run that command (or even what a rake task is) and whether that's still the best way to sort this out considering that this affects all uploads, not just avatars.

Is there a command I can use to fix all the uploaded file links? Or if not, would someone mind pointing me in the right direction to get this sorted please?

Consolidating Activity field

0

Jeff Atwood wrote:

For many years, you had a dream. A dream that the Activity field could be one date instead of two.

I'm finally ready to make that nightmare dream come true.

Here is what I propose:

  • Activity is now one column, last post date

  • Coldmapping of that column is based on difference in days between first post and last post. Essentially, duration:

    • more than 120 days, freezing (high)
    • more than 60 days, cold (medium)
    • more than 14 days, cool (low)
  • Clicking / tapping the date pops up a small dialog, sort of like the Progress Bar, that lets you see the absolute first post date and last post date (ala the share button and date link at the top right of each post), and clicking/tapping on the specific date navigates to the start and end of the topic respectively.

This achieves a few goals:

  1. Simplifies topic list, which has been criticized as visually intimidating due to the large amount of info it displays. This has also been requested a fair bit by @awesomerobot and others. Simple is good. One less column is good.

  2. Allows me to immediately see if I am responding to Ye Olde Necromancer Topic aka "oh God not this old chestnut again". The colder / bluer the date, the greater the difference in time range between first post and last post.

  3. Allows people to quickly jump to the top of the topic with not quite 1 click, as before (you could click on the first post date) but … 1¼ clicks? The little pop-up dialog you get when clicking/tapping the last activity date is is quick to appear, offers more information (the non-relative, absolute times) and doesn't incur any server calls. It's also arguably clearer what will happen, we can put up and down arrows on each date button to indicate top and bottom.

On a private forum, a link to a topic sends them to the home page instead of the topic when they have to log in

We're running a private forum that people can only sign-in using their google apps account from our company domain. If I sent someone a link directly to a topic, but they have yet to login (or in some cases yet to create an account), once they login, they are taken to the main page instead of the original link that they followed.
