Disable google search on 404 page

If you used Slack you might already noticed how cool is the sign up process when asking only for the email.

So here is my suggestion:

  1. Remove the name, username, password from the Sign Up form and leave only the email
  2. Send activation/verification to that email (which you require anyway to login)
  3. Ask for name, username, password on the activation page
  4. Have the name and username pre filled extracting info from email (john.smith@gmail.com will become John Smith and johnsmith)

I was recently working on the sign up process on one of my own open source project, so you could test exactly that process in a sandbox from here:

http://custom.gae-init.appspot.com/signin/

Maybe it looks weird in the beginning that we are asking only for the email, but it actually makes sense, since verification is needed anyway!

I think it would be nice if you could set different titles for different languages.

Updating discourse issue

I came across an odd issue, which I haven't encountered before. Typically I update discourse once a day and have two different installations, one of them is stuck with these messages.

[162] 05 Sep 11:29:59.038 * 10 changes in 300 seconds. Saving...
[162] 05 Sep 11:29:59.040 * Background saving started by pid 2925

Also, I noticed after running 'git pull' over the past few days, I always receive a message saying 'Already up-to-date'.

Have override keys of certain language elements availabe in admin

a slightly fluffy latex coated steel ball wrote:

Same like the veterans and leaders debate, to make the product more useful in more different ways to more people it would be great if you could overide langauge elements like button text eg

  • Create Topic

So you could change it to

  • Something

Having a look in the language file I would say these are the important ones but there could be more obviouslky

# /config/locales/client.en.yml

share:
  topic: 'hurl a hook to this something'

edit: 'edit the title and category of this something'

And yea there's quite alot of them

Really the best way would be if you could simply over ride the language keys directly in the admin so either by uploading a custom language file or simply typying the keys into a big textbox and it sucks them in somehow

So the ability to edit the language file directly in admin would be amazing, maybe under settings

I can probably figure it out cant be that hard surely

Creating a new topic linked to the wrong topic source thread

Hi everyone,

over at https://forum.fairphone.com/, we are all quite fond of Discourse. Now, the first bugs seem to pop up. I'll report that one by one.

I noticed when I started a new topic out of a thread (not to hijack the whole thing) that it linked back to the wrong thread in the "continued from..." heading. On the right side, it linked to both the original and the 'wrong' thread.

Can someone confirm this behaviour?
(It's not intended, is it?)

Comment wrongly attributed (low priority)

Hans Mentz wrote:

Over at the Fairphone Discourse instance, I commented on a comment which commented on one of my comments, etc. Now, it looks as if I commented on my own comment, saying "humorkritik said:" on top of my post. However, I clearly marked text from @kgha and hit "Quote reply".
Maybe that happened because I edited my post?

Can someone look into this (low priority, but still...)

Wrong avatar in preview window when quote replying from multiple topics

David McClure wrote:

I've noticed this bug for a while and was searching for it when responding to this other issue, but can't find any report.

When you are quote replying from multiple topics, the wrong avatar gets rendered at times in the composer window.

To reproduce on Try:

  1. go to topic 172 and hit 'reply'
  2. drag some text in post 1 and hit 'quote reply'
  3. click logo to go back to the topic page.
  4. click link for topic 302.
  5. drag some text on post 8 and hit 'quote reply'
  6. when composer preview renders the new quote reply, codinghorror's avatar for the first quote from topic 172; post 1, gets overwritten with Eggs_McLaren's avatar from topic: 302, post: 1

After step 4, things look like this:

After step 6, it looks like this:

This is not the same issue as the one linked above, and it's also less severe because the post is actually rendered OK when its saved.

Setting/Ability to Require account to download files

Eric Schleicher wrote:

We have an instance we we would like anonymous public traffic to freely view/browse the forums, but restrict the ability to download files to people who have accounts (required logged in). I looked through the settings and didn't see anything alluding to such a capability. This is pretty common configuration/behavior for other forum solutions. wasn't sure whether there is a philosophical driver for not having this type of functionality, or it just hasn't come up yet.

+1 for this feature.

Exported Users: Include group membership

Jason Ives wrote:

Is there any way we could have group membership reflected in the exported users csv?

One thing that may not be incredibly common but I do find myself needing is ensuring that users have a specific group membership. I can see all members of a group from that group's page or I can see the groups that a member belongs to but I cannot get a quick list of all users with their group membership in another column - this would be incredibly useful to me.

The exported users csv is very promising for this -- if it included a single column with a list of all groups the member belongs to that would work well. If it had a column for each group in the system and had a boolean value indicating membership, that'd do as well. Anything that allowed me to see a list of users with their group membership on the same row.

Couple of questions: category avatars and commercial categories

Mick Ryan wrote:

Hi Discourse Team,

I'm thinking of installing Discourse for our new photo location website: http://www.fotovue.com (just published our first book).

The objective is to create a forum where people can share their locations for taking landscape photography, ask questions about where the best locations for landscape photography are in a particular area (we will have area categories for different areas) and also to share the photographs they have taken.

I have a few questions.

First: is the bandwidth going to go through the roof with people posting lots of photos.

Second: People have avatars, can forum categories have avatars?

And the biggie:. I used to be advertising manager (and editor) at a climbing website: UKClimbing

At UKClimbing there is a very busy forum built from the ground-up: http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/

This is split into categories. One category is Premier Posts: a forum where you have to pay-to-post, from selling used climbing gear to big companies - like Black Diamond - advertising their new products or events.

Five Premier posts rotate at the top of an individuals latest forums - or you can go and see all Premier posts at: can't post link but you will find it..!!!

Posters pay by credit card for these Premier posts and it is/was a significant revenue stream.

Is such a pay-to-post system possible within a Discourse forum?

Thanks for all your great work.

Mick

Toggle. Toggle everything

AstonJ wrote:

Ok not quite everything.

The discussion in the thread Discourse: reimagining forum software (contains mockups!) raised an interesting debate about the users column, with some very valid points supporting each side.

While it could be argued one is better than the other for different scenarios and purposes (personally for me, if we had to choose one then that would be whatever gets people to visit - and - revisit a thread, and often!) it made we wonder, why don't we just allow the user to toggle things, letting them see what they want?

So for the User's column, the default could be last five posters, but the toggle could show the most active (the toggles labels would be descriptive - so no guess work needed). For the 'All' column (you'll need to look at the mockup in the linked thread to see what I mean) it could have the bar chart/heat counter set as default (as per the mockup) and toggling could simply show a circle that depicts just heat (by size and colour), or simply a post/view/likes column as 12/55/03 or whatever else we come up with.

On traditional forums, the table head usually contains headings that link to sort by number of posts, thread starter, and number of views. But in DC we would put the toggle switches here, and put the sorting options somewhere else on the page (which are probably not used very much at all, much less than what I imagine the toggles would).

I like it because it adds something useful and is the sort of thing that people may play with before they are done with the page and either ready to move to another page or go off to another site - I think it will add to making the site more sticky. It also fits in well with the DC ethos, of reimagining forum software.
