I've been following the topic on tagging elsewhere and understand there's a legitimate issue associated with it. But I wanted to give you a use case and ask for suggestions.

We have a product called "Platform" for which there are 81 New Relic and 3rd party plugins. Examples of plugins: MySQL, MS SQL Server, MongoDB, Rackspace Loadbalancer, etc. All of these are plugins for separate environments on which you want to monitor performance. There are 81 of these now (more coming) and are downloadable. We have a requirement to collect feedback on each plugin - essentially discussions around issues associated with installation and deployment.

We currently have a category on our Discourse site called "Platform". Under that we could have sub-categories for each of the plugins -- but that would mean 81 subcategories (and more coming..) -- and that feels really kludgey. Users would have to go looking for their subcategory and a number of these subcategories would be empty. Areas defined on a forum that are empty makes it look under-used.

If we don't have tags, and the use of subcategories is burdensome, what would you recommend?

Hi everyone,

For a customer, I'm planning to use as a marketplace in the following way:

My idea is to use just 3 categories.

• One for items to sell.
• One for items wanted.
• One for services offered

I think it will work. Does anyone has experience on implemeting something like this? any advice?

Tks!

I would like to see if someone can reproduce this,

Its funky on Firefox and Chrome, so lets say you have a link
google 1

if i middle click once on it will open a new tab, if i middle click it again the cursor will get stuck on drag navigation. If you let left click in place to go away you'll end up clicking the link again.

On Firefox its worse, because if you close the new tab by accident it won't let you open with middle click and just be stuck at drag navigation.
On Chrome you'll be able to middle click and it will open in new tab but be stuck at drag navigation.

I know its kind of weird use case, but is even more weird and frustrating to be stuck in drag navigation.

---

Another thing I've noticed, but not sure if bug or browser feature.

In Chrome, middle click will open new tab but keep focus on current page, while in Firefox it will open new tab and switch focus.

I've also tried going to google with Firefox and in this case middle click would open new tab but keep focus on current page.

The use case here is about a post with 2 links that i want to open while i keep reading the post.
google 1 and google 2

when i write a couple of lines and click on bulleted list it breaks up and i have to individually bullet each line (numbered list too)

000aa.png514x509 16.8 KB

so it should be like this after bulleting:

• List A
• List B

• List C
  But when selecting all three lines and clicking on bulleted lists it becomes this:

• List A List B List C

So one has to do it line by line and thats fine but it can become a headache for some newbies.

I hope that helps making the project a little better.

A tiny bug, of no real consequence. When editing category permissions, when you add a group (like "admins"), the select automatically removes "admins" from the list of available options, and automatically selects the next group in the list (in this case, "everyone").

However, the actual value that gets posted when you add another group isn't "everyone", it's "admins".

On our forums we get users occasionally who come in when I'm not watching (i.e. at night, etc.) and post a ton of marginal or questionable posts. Right now its a real pain to moderate and delete these because you have to go to every single message, open the message and delete them.

It would be really, really nice to be able to simply delete all the message directly from the person's profile view. It would change a 10 minute task down to 30 seconds or less - a huge improvement.

"About rails s: I wouldn't be against adding it but at what point do we stop holding their hand and expect them to know how rails works? I'm sure rails documentation could do a better job than us. Actually maybe we should just link to that?

What point to stop holding their hand? I guess it's along the lines of showing a toddler how to walk.. let'm try once they can barely stand up on their own.

I know that two months ago, I wouldn't have had a clue what to do at the end of that how-to. Even still, I'm not certain that it's just a matter of rails s to get started. What other steps need to be added?

Consider a community of "experts" on some topic. Experts would like to post articles or questions on this board, to be discussed only by the other members, who are also experts. For this part, they can use any reasonable traditional message board software (with membership restricted to experts).

Here is the new part.

For each topic opened by an expert for comments by other experts, there should be a "shadow" topic automatically opened for comments by "the public". Say, the expert's topic is visible in the top (or left) half of the screen, and the shadow public's thread is visible in the other half.

The idea is to keep the conversations among experts unencumbered from all the "noise" often generated by non-expert posts, while still allowing visitors to argue with each other about the discussion the experts are having.

A reader should easily be able to choose whether to view ONLY the experts' discussion, or to view both. Searches should also allow this choice.

A related scheme exists at some news sites, where beneath every article there is a comments box (disqus, etc) for readers opinions. However, this is only one layer of comments.

In principle, the idea could be extended to more than 2 layers (imagine professors as the experts, grad students as semi-experts, undergrads below them, and finally the general public at the bottom). However, obvious practical constraints would need to be observed, in going beyond 2 layers.

Helo,

I was looking for a good forum system, and I must say that this looks amazing.
However getting it installed is hard. I have experience with php, but not with ruby and rails.
I'm running windows 7 and I'm using a free webhost (http://www.000webhost.com)
How can I install discourse or isn't it possible to due to limitations of my free host?

I am integrating Discourse (using forum threads as comments) on another site. I am attempting to show the currently-logged-in Discourse user from within the site (or a log in button if they are not logged in, which would ideally log into Discourse then redirect back to the site the user was on). I can make JSON requests to Discourse to get other kinds of information (topics/replies) but the user information seems trapped inside HTML. The initial HTML that loads on a Discourse page contains some executable script along the lines of:

PreloadStore.store("currentUser",{"id":1,"username":"admin","avatar_template":"//www.gravatar.com/avatar/46d229b033af06a191ff2267bca9ae56.png?s={size}&r=pg&d=identicon","name":null,"unread_notifications":0,"unread_private_messages":0,"admin":true,"notification_channel_position":null,"site_flagged_posts_count":0,"moderator":false,"staff":true,"reply_count":0,"topic_count":12,"enable_quoting":true,"external_links_in_new_tab":false,"dynamic_favicon":false,"trust_level":2,"can_edit":true,"can_invite_to_forum":true});

However, this information doesn't seem to be available as a JSON endpoint. Does such an endpoint exist?

We're struggling a bit with the parser and automatic formatting of posts. In particular, numbered lists. There are a couple of ways in which they drive our posters mad:

• You can't start a list from any other number than one, or have the
  list count down
• You can't skip numbers or have the same number for
  items
• If you start a paragraph with a number, it get's interpreted as a list even if it doesn't have any other numbered items below it. This might not be a big problem when writing in English, but in my language that's how you write ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd etc). Imagine starting your sentence with "3rd time it happened.." and the forum changing it into "1st time it happened.."

As an example
Gibson.com Top 50 Guitarists of All Time – 50 to 41

49. (tie) Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, Rainbow)
49. (tie) Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
47. (tie) Robert Fripp (King Crimson)
47. (tie) Andrés Segovia
42. (tie) Hubert Sumlin (Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters)
42. (tie) Clarence White (The Kentucky Colonels, The Byrds)
42. (tie) Rory Gallagher (Taste, solo)
42. (tie) John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
42. (tie) Richard Thompson
41. David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)

turns out like this:

1. (tie) Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, Rainbow)
2. (tie) Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
3. (tie) Robert Fripp (King Crimson)
4. (tie) Andrés Segovia
5. (tie) Hubert Sumlin (Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters)
6. (tie) Clarence White (The Kentucky Colonels, The Byrds)
7. (tie) Rory Gallagher (Taste, solo)
8. (tie) John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
9. (tie) Richard Thompson
10. David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)

Of course, one can use pre formatted text (as we do now), but it's not ideal or intuitive. Is there any way to improve or configure this behaviour?

This time we're going to add a button after every post that will allow users to hide/show the post.

But first, we need to understand how these buttons are generated.

They are defined by the post_menu site setting:

This setting determine which items will appear on the post menu and their order:

d16418f38b569bb2.png730x45

This list is used by the PostMenuView which renders the menu below a post using buffered rendering for performance. We've already seen the buffer rendering in the previous tutorial. It just means that we're pushing strings into a buffer.

This view has 2 interesting methods:

render: function(buffer) {
  var post = this.get('post');
  buffer.push("<nav class='post-controls'>");
  this.renderReplies(post, buffer);

  var self = this;
  Discourse.get('postButtons').toArray().reverse().forEach(function(button) {
    var renderer = "render" + button;
    if(self[renderer]) self[renderer](post, buffer);
  });
  buffer.push("</nav>");
},

This render method is called by EmberJs whenever it needs to render the view. First, it will render the replies button (call to this.renderReplies) if there is any. Then, it will iterate through Discourse.get('postButtons') which is a basic wrapper around the post_menu site setting and will call the methods named render<Button> if it is defined on the view. For example, for the reply button, it will call the method named renderReply.

click: function(e) {
  var $target = $(e.target);
  var action = $target.data('action') || $target.parent().data('action');
  if (!action) return;

  var handler = this["click" + action.capitalize()];
  if (!handler) return;

  handler.call(this);
},

This click method is called by EmberJs whenever the user clicks on the view (that is, on any button). That method retrieve the name of the action to call by looking at the data-action attribute of the targeted element or its parent's. If an action is found, it will look for a method name click<Action> in the view and call it if it is defined in the the view. For example, if the action is reply, it will call the clickReply method.

So, these 2 methods allow us to control both the rendering of our button by defining a renderSomething method and control the behavior whenever the user clicks on the button by defining a clickSomething method.

Let's call our button hide and add it to the post_menu site setting:

7a2b6a67e694fa8d.png750x86

We're now all set to start writing our plugin.

Let's start with our usual suspect, plugin.rb, our entry point:

# name: hide post
# about: add a button at the end of every post allowing users to hide the post
# version: 0.1
# authors: Régis Hanol

register_asset "javascripts/hide_post.js"

This only register a single asset. Let's dig into this javascript file:

Discourse.PostMenuView.reopen({

  renderHide: function(post, buffer) {
    var direction = !!post.getWithDefault("temporarily_hidden", false) ? "down" : "up";
    buffer.push('<button title="' + direction + '" data-action="hide">');
    buffer.push('<i class="icon-chevron-' + direction + '"></i>');
    buffer.push('</button>');
  },

  clickHide: function() {
    $("#post_" + this.get("post.post_number") + " .cooked").toggle();
    this.toggleProperty("post.temporarily_hidden");
  }

});

The first line (Discourse.PostMenuView.reopen) is the Ember way of reopening a class from another file. This allows us to add instance methods and properties that are shared across all instances of that class. Which is exactly what we want here. So, as we've seen earlier, we need to define 2 methods: renderHide and clickHide.

The renderHide method is used to render the hide button which is composed of a chevron icon. It looks for the temporarily_hidden property on post to determine the direction of the chevron.

The clickHide method is toggling the visibility of the current post via jQuery and the temporarily_hidden value.

If you try to run the plugin like so, you will notice that it works but the chevron is not changing direction. It's because it's not being rerendered whenever the value of post.temporarily_hidden is changed. To allow for that, we add a new observer using Discourse.View.renderIfChanged which will be observing that property and will internally call rerender() on the view itself.

Discourse.PostMenuView.reopen({
  shouldRerenderHideButton: Discourse.View.renderIfChanged("post.temporarily_hidden"),

  // rest of the code...
})

And voilà.

Here's a screenshot with the button on the right (the chevron)

6ee9245165b4e41d.png822x232

When you click on it, it hides the post and the chevron changes direction
