Markdown to display an attention grabbing box to the readers?

I want to display an important message at the top of a wiki post. I thought about something like <div class="alert">, but the class gets sanitized out. I've come up with the following as a work-around, and it suffices, but I was wondering if there was a more proper [tag] to use.

Also, is there documentation of the available tags ? I know of quote and spoiler (is spoiler native to Discourse, or is it a plugin that my host happened to have installed).

Discourse bootstrap fails

Tracking bugs / roadmaps / versions

Continuing the discussion from Ordered list numbering wrong:

The linked topic was a bug report (of an issue that causes a lot of grief to users). One developer said that the bug was going to be fixed in the future (timeframe left vague). It's my understanding that the "Bug" category here is the canonical issue tracking system for Discourse, but now an known bug that's planned to be fixed has had the topic that could be used to track it closed, meaning that it looks like something that isn't an open bug any more.

Is there a better way to report this? What's the thinking on tracking issues like this slated for future releases? It seems like there should be a way to do that. Things I've used in other places are tags with specific versions / milestones, but I don't see that anything of the sort has been done here (or that there's a reliable way to do it, in any case).

Missing Norwegian translations

Setting my Discourse forum to nb_no (Norwegian Bokmål) seemingly indicates a lot of missing translations. Is this something I can easily fix myself or is it better to just contribute to the translation development? If the latter, are Github pull requests the way to do it?

Cheers!

Name field language on account creation is weird

kris wrote:

Name: Longer version of your name

This is the first field... so longer than which version of my name? The context is a little confusing here.

How do you even add context to this? "This isn't your username, but displays next to your username in some places... but isn't neccessarily your real name"

Maybe... "Displays alongside your username"? or maybe even just leave it contextless.

Why is this even a field? What's the benefit of adding this as an extra step in account creation?

Cannot use zoom for lightbox images on phones

Luke Robbins wrote:

If a image is resized to smaller dimensions in discourse I cannot zoom the image either when it is in the lightbox or in the actual thread.

This makes viewing larger images that have been linked difficult without browsing away from the forum.

Search results should have a timestamp label

Salman, Freelance Developer wrote:

The search results should display the date of the last post.

For certain forums the timeliness of the post is very important and having that information helps you decide which result to click on.

I understand on the flip side you want to keep the UI as simple and lean as possible, I guess it comes down to how many people think having the timestamp (either first or last post) as being relevant.

It looks like Google is smart enough to show/hide the timestamp label depending on the nature of the query.

Pressing Ctrl+F twice on topic search should close the Discourse search window

Gerhard Schlager wrote:

I sometimes want to use the browser search window within topics since the Discourse search function jumps only to posts and not the exact position of the search term. Pressing Ctrl+F works quite well.

However, the Discourse search window doesn't close automatically when I use the browser's search function. The first few search results therefore are often within the search window. That's quite annoying.

Expected behaviour: When I press Ctrl+F the second time, the Discourse search window should close automatically.

Thread Infographics

AstonJ wrote:

Sorry, no mockups this time stuck_out_tongue

Although we broached the idea in this thread, I think this topic warrants a thread of its own.

I reckon a defining feature of DC can be bits of useful (or expanded) info on mouse over of certain elements. However, we can go a step further and combine all of those on one massive sexy infographic on mouse-over of the thread title.

Part of the reason to offer this is because DC tracks so much info and it makes sense to show it, but also because users are getting lazy - they want info and they want it now! But that's cool, if they're happy, we're happy.

On traditional forums you get the bog standard preview of the first post. Pretty boring. DC's could act more as an infographic, combining all the other bits of info shown on various other mouse overs, such as those icons/charts shown to depict heat (views, replies, likes, referrers, vists from referrers), your alerts in the thread (both old and new), your activity in the thread (such as number of posts, date of last post), and who the most frequent posters are. As well as a snippet of the first post (and maybe the last). Perhaps we can think of something else to add too?

What do you think? I reckon it could be a killer feature.

Third-party accounts log into an account without verification

0

stuartpb wrote:

From what I can tell, if I've already created an account with my email address (say, via GitHub), then I sign out, then sign in in via another service (such as Facebook) where I have the same e-mail, I'm logged in to my Discourse account with no further steps.

Here's why this is a bug:

Say Alice has an email address, and a Facebook account, but not a Twitter account. She signs up for an account in Discourse using her Facebook account.

Later, Eve creates a Twitter account with Alice's email address. Twitter lets you use an account without verifying the email address, so she then signs in to Discourse with this Twitter account. Discourse sees this Twitter account has the same email as Alice, and so logs Eve in as Alice.

Associating a new endpoint with an existing account should require verification from an already-authorized endpoint.

Access a view's isVisible property

I want to access the search view's isVisible property, how would I do that?

I'm trying to determine if the following view is currently visible so I can handle a second CTRL + F call properly...

Then again, maybe I'm going about this the wrong way... (as I could do it in jQuery, but I recall a recent conversation with @eviltrout about utilizing Ember/Controllers/Views for the shortcuts instead of selectors on the page) so feel free to point me in the right direction too smile

Please consider mobile/touch users before making suggestions

Bill Ayakatubby wrote:

or: A Developer's Rant Inspired By Months Years of Useless Websites

When making feature requests or UX suggestions, please, please keep the touch experience in mind. Things shouldn't be hoverable, but click/touch/tap-able. Anything mouse-over- or hover-related will be completely useless, pointless, and inaccessible to mobile and touch users—and that user base is growing fast in pretty much all areas and industries.

As web application designers, developers, and suggestionators, it's imperative that we keep mobile/touch users in the forefront of our minds while making UI/UX decisions. It's an unfortunate reality that I see fairly often at work and elsewhere, that the touch experience goes completely unconsidered. Sometimes it's blamed on time or budgetary constraints, but that's BS. The biggest problem as I see it is a lack of education and caring, and a dash or two of hypocrisy. How often do we get frustrated when we use our phones to visit a website or use a web app that isn't mobile-friendly? And yet, how often do we whip up some front-end code or make a suggestion to our favorite web app and neglect to consider touch users? I'm doing my best to correct myself in my own career and personal life, but I don't see that same effort from my peers. And honestly? It makes me mad.

Mobile-/touch-first is a different mindset, yes, but not a difficult one. Think about it. No, really—think about it. If the smartphone user can tap it, the desktop user can click it. But if the desktop user can only hover over it, the smartphone user is completely left out. It's an important distinction, and it bears repeating: If the desktop user can only hover over it, the smartphone user is completely left out.

Have a touch-friendly day.

Note: This is not directed at any one particular person or in reference to any one particular post, despite some language borrowed from another of my recent posts. I know there are already people here who are on board with the idea, and I'm glad for that, but there need to be more. You've all just witnessed the birth of a new passion. Don't you feel proud?

Working on our own installation of Discourse (thanks for making this open source).

At first, we were storing attachments on the server. But we now have S3 configured and working. I'd like to delete the file attachements that were uploaded to the server before we had S3 configed. But I don't see how to.

Thanks

Updating Discourse from git?

0

wrote:

This is probably a question that has been asked before, but I couldnt quite find the answer I was looking for.

I installed Discourse using the official installation guide for a Docker install. From what I can tell it seems that installing Discourse this way checks out the latest code from the Github repo? If so, will running launcher rebuild update Discourse with the latest git commits as well? If not, then what is the recommended way to stay up to date?

Best regards
