I added a logo image to an existing category (making no other changes to it) and the category home page started showing visible HTML markup in its description:
Removing the logo image made the markup go away. It appears the presence of the image changes the rendering of the description such that it gets run through an HTML-escaper filter.
The HTML markup also appears in the description field in the category edit pop-up. We created the description using the normal editing UI, as Markdown.
(We are running Discourse 1.1.0.beta4.)

Sending emails in from Apple Mail (Mac OS X Mail 7.3 1878.6 / Apple Mail 2.1878.6) seems to result in broken formatting, like newlines being wiped out. I'm awaiting a copy of an email from a user (for the original content vs the markdown), but could I send it to someone via PM rather than posting publicly on here?

As far as I can see from the installation guides you no longer support installing discourse without docker.
We have a virtual server and can't install docker, because of the limited kernel access.Can I use the "old" ubuntu discourse installation guide to get it to work or is it really outdated (since deprecated doesn't mean that it wont work).
Feel free to share your experiences on this subject.

If you've moved from other forum software to Discourse using one of our import scripts, then you probably want all your hard-earned Google search results to continue pointing to the same content. Discourse has a built-in way to handle this for you using the permalinks lookup table.
The permalinks table allows you to set two things: a url to match, and what that url should show. There are a few options for defining where the url should redirect to. Set one of these:
- topic_id: to show a topic
- post_id: to show a specific post within a topic
- category_id: to show a category
- external_url: to redirect to a url that may not belong to your Discourse instance
For example, if your original forum's topic urls looked like
http://example.com/discussion/12345, and the url for that topic after the import ishttp://example.com/t/we-moved/987, then you can setup the mapping like this:cd /var/discourse ./launcher enter app rails c Permalink.create(url: '/discussion/12345', topic_id: 987)Discourse will then perform a redirect with http response status code 301 (permanently moved) to the correct url for topic id 345. The 301 should cause search engines to update their records and start using the new urls.
If you want some urls to redirect away from Discourse, you can do so by setting external_url:
Permalink.create(url: '/discussion/12345', external_url: 'http://archived.example.com/discussion/12345')

This doesn't seem to happen all the time, but is tricky when it does. Below, I pasted in a direct link to a tweet. In the editor, when I paste in the link, the following appears, where the URL of a downloaded image appears immediately after the link:
Below here is where the link actually was pasted - you should see the rendered results of the link in the edit window:

Note that this happens if you try to put the link inside of code ticks, too. On other occasions, the OneBox seems to appear as expected, but I cannot figure out what the difference is. The bug happens about 50% of the time.

Does this mean no badges will be awarded to anyone in a topic with this category?
Or are there special category-specific badges, and this prevents the awarding of those?My particular use case is I'm creating an "excerpt" category on my forum for posts that are nothing but a collection of excerpts. So there is no real discussion (generally) in these topics. Not sure if this is a good use case for turning this off on the category or not.
Thanks!

The search box here supports some (currently) undocumented optional filters you can apply to your search.
order:lateststatus:openstatus:closedcategory:bugsWe are planning to add a help link to the search
Which pops a dialog much like the keyboard help ? does, and will document the advanced search filters.
But before we do that: what advanced search filters should exist?

As an admin, I want to be able to specify the
To:field on email notifications from a category that has an admin-specified email-in address, so that when people move from a mailing list to Discourse, they'll be able to keep their inbox rules.In other words ...
- Current mailing list messages are sent
From: <sender@example.com>andTo: <list@example.org>.- Discourse notifications for category "Foo" would be sent
From: User Name <discourse@example.org>andTo: <foo@example.org>.This way, when I move my foo@example.org mailing list over to Discourse, users will still be able to process emails
To: <foo@example.org>with the same labels, folders, etc.Notifications for topics in the Uncategorized "category" would use the email-in address specified for Uncategorized.
Notifications for categories without a specified email-in address should be the default
To: <recipient@example.com>that is used currently.

Continuing the discussion from Prioritize showing group members (not posts) on group landing page, describe groups, provide groups directory:
Thanks @downey (and @tobiaseigen). That was definitely useful to know; equally it confirms that it unfortunately doesn't meet my requirements! To recap, what I'm after is a way for those I have invited to a private discussion group to see who else they are sharing their posts with. This is primarily to create trust and reduce inhibitions.
As per @tobiaseigen's suggestion I am configuring access to the private categories using groups, so essentially what I am looking for is a widget that shows, on the category homepage, all the users belonging to the group associated with the category (or a selection of them, with an option to click to see all).

Continuing the discussion from The (manual) backup (didn't) failed:
- The full backup is over a gig (last night's ticked over to 1.2G). At least when it all downloads (which is fixed, I believe?.)
- I only needed the sql backup, which reduces the size of the backup to a more quickly downloaded (last one was) 135M
Basically I'm only downloading the backups to get a recent database to play with, since I cannot query the live database{1} I'm not personally archiving them{2} - we have Amazon for that.
{1} given that one of my recent queries for potential badges ran to 70 seconds, I'm not sure running it on the live site repeatedly would do much for the host.

Hi everyone. I don't know much about doing translation work, but got an email from Transifex about their new Transifex Live service. It looks like it probably wouldn't work for Discourse itself, but might be easy and useful for the Discourse.org web site, and get the Discourse message out to more people. Just thought I'd put it out there as an idea.

So I was posting something to the "translations" subcategory here on meta, and was trying to find the category description to make sure I was on-topic. But apparently, at some point, I had dismissed the pinned "About the translations category", and kept scrolling and scrolling, but couldn't find it.
While top-level categories have their description from that "About the X category" post displayed on the
/categorieslist, sub-categories currently do not. There are only two ways to find it:
- In the drop-down menu when creating a new topic.
- Searching for "About the X category".
Is there any reason why this same text couldn't be worked into the UI above the topic list in a non-obtrusive way rather than as a pinned topic? (Similar to how categories with a Category Logo Image.)

Hi, everybody!
I'm trying to get my discourse instance to recognize my SMTP settings so that mails can be sent. My mail server is on mediatemple (DV), and I was wondering if somebody can help me figure out what I may be doing incorrectly.In my Plesk control panel, I have set the following values:
In my domain's e-mail account, I created a new mail username + password, and I also created a mailbox for it.
In my app.yml, here are the relevant settings I've specified:
## TODO: The mailserver this Discourse instance will use DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: mail.kirupa.com # (mandatory) DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587 # (optional) DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: forum@kirupa.com DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: myPasswordWith these settings, I am unable to send any e-mails. When I use my temporary mandrill e-mail account settings, everything works fine. Because using the mandrill settings works, I feel this issue is with my mail server.
I've tried the troubleshooting steps outlined here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/troubleshooting-email-on-a-new-discourse-install/16326
I am able to telnet in using telnet mail.kirupa.com 587. Yay! Unfortunately, when I attempt to run the mailtest app, I do get the following error:
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ settings: DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD = (hidden) DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT = 587 DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS = mail.kirupa.com DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME = forum@kirupa.com ERROR: unable to establish TLS: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:598) Fix the host certificate or disable validationI am assuming this is related to why Discourse can't send any e-mails using my current account.
Does anybody know what I need to do differently?
Thanks,
Kirupa

I'll pay $25 to someone who is able to help me redirect some old links to new URLs. I've described the problem here. The new Discourse forum is online and working, now all I need is a couple of smart Nginx rules.
Please note I'm not looking for general Nginx conf tricks I can easily find online. I need someone to tell me exactly what I should do in my specific case.
PM me for details if interested. It could only take a few minutes for someone who knows Nginx and Discourse.
