The concept of wiki-posts is great but there are a couple of frustrating problems.

1. There needs to be a way to get notified about changes in the post. There should be a way to opt out of these notifications.
2. There should be a way for the users to make their own posts/topics wiki. If the permission can be set by category, all the better. But admins having to convert the posts to wiki one by one is real pita.
3. Topics that have wiki-posts as the first post should open from the first post if there aren't any unread posts in that topic. It would also suffice if we could set this by category, since all the wikis are in one category.
4. A way to create a table of contents would be great

Hi,

I was trying to upgrade a discourse instance for the first time but seems it doesn't have permission to do that:


$ cd /var/www/discourse && git fetch && git reset --hard HEAD@{upstream} warning: unable to access '/root/.config/git/attributes': Permission denied


How should I grant it access?

An error occurred while installing rails_multisite (0.0.1), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install rails_multisite -v '0.0.1'` succeeds before
bundling.

The real reason this failed was cause we were out of disk space.

• Is there any way to get bundle install to omit the huge stack trace?
• How can I get the actual failure message out of bundler in a automated way ... ideally I would like STDERR to simply have "Errno::ENOSPC: No space left in device", then I can send that further down to pups.

(note asking here cause this does not fit in a tweet)

So you want to link user title to a group? Great, let's get started!

In this guide we'll assume that you want to link user title to discourse group.

1) Add user to the discourse group:

2) From user's admin page, select discourse as the Primary Group from dropdown:

3) Clicking on user title, will now take you to discourse group page:

That's it, you've linked user title to discourse group. Congratulations!

Reported by a member of my test forum, possibly a duplicate of this

The home page shows three 'new' topics or posts, along with the value next to New, as shown below:

Screenshot 2014-08-16 17.46.09-2.png1117x627 150 KB

However, clicking on New doesn't give you any topics to view.

I think this is because the new items are posts rather than topics, but why update New if it's not going to show anything?

Hi all,

I created a new Discourse forum and I've been playing around. I really like the experience so far. Here are a couple issues I'm currently facing.

1. It seems to me that a category needs to be empty before it is deleted. I have a category that was renamed from one of the default categories from a fresh installation that I cannot delete.

Apologies if this is answered somewhere else (I've looked, but so far not been able to find), but can someone point me in the direction of using Discourse as an SSO provider?

I see there are lots of posts about allowing Discourse to use other applications as the SSO provider, but I want the reverse of this. I have plans to my use Discourse install as the central hub of a network of microsites, and wanted to let people auth themselves on these sites via their Discourse credentials.

Thank you.

Our users have noticed a few issues that seem prevalent across most of them using iPhones (a variety of 4, 4s, and 5)

One issue is that sometimes when going to the Latest tab (/categories is our default), it doesnt actually show the most recent posts. They might be posts from a few hours ago, when there are several more recent. I noticed this myself when I went into a specific category and made a topic, then went back to the homepage, and went to the specific category from the "all categories" dropdown. The new topic I had created wasnt there. I waited a good 3 minutes to see if the message bus would pick it up. Going back to /latest or /categories, then back into this category never makes it show up. I have to do a refresh on the page. This issue I think only happens when on 3G or 4G. I havent seen it when connected to WiFi

A second issue us that we're noticing about 1/3rd of the time, image uploads will never go past 0%. When this happens (and also sometimes if you hit "Cancel" on the upload), it doesnt actually remove the "uploading 0%, Cancel" text, even if you abandon the reply, and try to reply somewhere else on the site. It seems like it just has to time out on its own at some point. This has happened when on 3G, 4G and WiFi.

Is any one else having issues on iPhones with image uploads freezing at 0% and page data not being current?

Continuing the discussion from Posts Read Discrepancy:

This seems to be a related issue.

When I posted that 11 days ago, it showed I needed to have read 882 posts in the last 100 days. The requirement now is 1245. I believe the requirement is to have read 25% of all posts made in the last 100 days, so on that basis, we should have 4,980 posts in the last 100 days. But according to the logs, we don't even have that many in total since the forum started in January.

We did have quite a number of test threads which were deleted. At a rough guess, it looks as if these threads are still being included in the calculation for "required" posts read, but not in the logs.

While moving topics from one category to another, I ran into a confusing issue, after the topics have been moved, screen doesn't refresh instead I see the attached screenshot below. I have to manually refresh to see the updated list of topics within that category.

After topics are moved, could the current category page auto refresh?

Would it be feasible to potentially build in a secure encrypted PGP messaging system and/or encrypted chat into Discourse or have a plugin for individual installs? I really like https://encrypt.to and it could potentially be built into Discourse somehow since it's open source and hackable etc.

Are there any plans for such features now or in the future? It would definitely be a good selling point if all messages (like PMs etc) were encrypted and real-time chat/hangouts were definitely private and secure. With encrypt.to you could make it so a pop up box on the bottom right could send a message to someone's email using their public key for encryption. You could either have the user copy and paste or import the recipients public key or have the recipients store their public key in their Discourse account securely and then all PMs are encrypted then sent to email that way too.

Obviously there are a ton of ways of doing it but I thought it would be a cool feature to have. I would definitely be interested in developing this myself (with some help from the Discourse community of course;) if need be.

Many thanks.

Continuing the discussion from Suggestion: # of likes in a topic in the tool tip:

---

I'm digging the removal of the Likes column (the glyph being gone in particular make the display less noisy), however I do think @boomzilla makes a good point that views aren't all that well quantified. (What is a view? Are there different types of views? What does each individual view mean?)

I think the goal of showing stats, like the number of views and likes, is to convey some information about the quality of a topic. If it's a particularly engaging discussion, it should stand out from the rest.

Any notion I have of what a view count implies is the result of years of frequenting forums and coming up with some arbitrary notions in my head that certain disparities between posts and views are good or bad. (The same can be said for posts vs. likes.) I have no idea how accurate my assumptions are and this unknowingness is part of the reason @codinghorror wanted to use a ratio to give likes more meaning.

But the heatmap on the posts column so far isn't indicating to me at all a ratio of posts versus likes. It does stand out to me though and seems to be calling to me that a topic is, well, hot. Hot in the sense that it's a topic to be looked at; a quality topic.

I know there are discussions on fixing the heatmap to be more telling, but why not instead remove the views column too and come up with some kind of "quality score" that incorporates likes and views. Use that quality score to assign the heatmap to the posts column. Keep the coldmap for now simplified activity column and I think it will be easy to glean info at a glance. (Hot and cold together means the topic has had staying power. Etc.)

Views and likes without context are somewhat crummy indicators. Even with context (a post count), how reasonable is it to expect users to come up with the same conclusion about what they mean? I think creating a universal metric is worth consideration. The individual stats can still be displayed within the topic and I'm assuming at some point there will be advanced searching with sorting by views and likes and whatnot, for those who want to do so.

This appears to be happening when the 'new posts available' stuff is being loaded and you click on the link. Instead of placing them under the pinned topics, it puts them over the pinned topics.

I'm not sure why anyone thought it was a good idea to hijack the universally accepted "Find" functionality of the browser to open the search box... it's nothing but frustrating when you're trying to find text on the page. I noticed whoever implemented also decided they would be clever by also hijacking the less common "/" (vi-style) key shortcut for this as well.

Please at least offer a user-configurable option to disable and an admin-configurable default setting.

This has occurred both here and on our own site. I can't (yet) find a way to reliably reproduce it, but @HAWK has also experienced it.

Using the "Reply as New Topic" link creates the expected new topic, with the relevent quote, but includes an additional quote from another (seemingly-random) topic.

e.g. I used the link from my own post in a topic called "Domains?" with this result:

double-quote.png1172x328 42 KB

I had only logged into our site a few minutes prior to that, had only had one tab open throughout, and hadn't visited the thread from which the additional quote came in the last week. The extra quote is from a topic in a different category.

The only consistent factor I'm aware of is that each of the three occasions on which this has happened (one here, two on our site) I've been replying to my own post, and it's been the last post in a topic. That may be relevent or just coincidence.

I'm still trying to find a reliable way to reproduce this, but thought I'd post here so others can contribute.
