I think some minor tweaks to the login box could greatly improve the UX.
Currently there is no indication that the social login buttons are buttons at all, especially if you're using only a single social network (see screenshot below) where the blue Twitter button looks as much like just a label telling you that you can "Log In [...] with Twitter". And partnered with the local Username and Password inputs below, which are not labelled as a separate login at all, the current design can easily be seen as only one Login option where the user enters their Twitter Username and Password, which quickly becomes confusing... becuase they won't work.
I know folks who are familiar with the Twitter login concept know otherwise, but those who aren't familiar with it, could be forgiven thinking otherwise.
Is there a way with which we can change the generation of default avatar from username to user's full names? Many of our users have numerical usernames or their usernames start with a certain character (like P, R).
I'd like to know is there is any feature to suggested tags automatically for a question based on the title or description. So that when someone writes a word that matches a tag in the tags list it is automatically prompted in user's 'tags' field.
Is there Multi Language support while replying to question/post? Like if Someone wants to reply a post in other language (France, China, etc) can it will be done?
Is it possible to change default behaviour for blockcode and/or preformatted text to behave like triple backticks?
On our forum we have a loft of code snippets posted in ObjC and some Swift. No one ever knows about back ticks so they tend to use either of the above which ends up pretty ugly for code.
Appreciate their is an education issue as well here however just be easier if I could change default behaviour.
This all started with me wanting to change my remote tracking branch to tests-passed as defined here
When I tried to rebuild I was told that I need a new version of docker so I upgraded docker.
root@discourse:/var/docker# docker version

Git commit (client): c78088f
OS/Arch (client): linux/amd64

Now I need to upgrade postgres (ouch) I followed these steps presented to me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPGRADE OF POSTGRES FAILED
You are going to need to export your data and import into a clean instance:
Add the line: base_image: "samsaffron/discourse:0.1.1"
Change: templates/postgres.template.yml TO templates/postgres.9.2.template.yml
Run ./launcher bootstrap again
When your instance is running:
- Go to the admin UI, enable readonly and backup your site
Then destroy your container ./launcher destroy standalone
Undo the base_image and postgres.9.2 template from your container config
Run: sudo mv /var/docker/shared/postgres_data /var/shared/postgres_data_old
Run: ./launcher bootstrap
Login to the blank site, and import your backup (remember to set the allow_restore site setting)
Restart your container: ./launcher restart

Now I am getting 502 and 500 errors and I am not sure where to go. Where is mah logs?
I changed the min trust to create topic to 4 and added a user with a trust level of 4 and the create topic button is missing? Even lowering the trust level to create a topic to 3 does not allow the user to create a topic nor does giving the user admin or moderator privileges.
How do you require a trust level of 4 to post a topic and add a user that can actually take advantage of this?
When you quick edit a post (to change title or category), the category dropdown is on a new row (sure enough, this is the culprit). Also, i see there was already an issue opened on this subject as well, and it seems the things went back to two rows.
But, there is any reason for this?
Thanks!
//edit: surely enough, is also present on this forum as well:
Hi, It may seem obvious to some, but I can't see admin option under 'hamburger' button. I tried hitting hostname/admin in browser but it shows as The page you requested doesn't exist or is private. Just to confirm, I installed it on Debian 7 using info from here: https://packager.io/gh/pkgr/discourse/install#wheezy Other than that, it works along with the postfix part, but I can't get around app admin issue. Thanks! Rad
I am considering implementing discourse as a forum and mailing list platform for an international issue-oriented network of several hundred organizations and thousands of activists and grassroots practitioners. I am looking for some good case studies/examples to point decision makers in my organization to in order to demonstrate the appropriateness of discourse for our own use case. Something impressive like the World Bank or an international agency or major advocacy org like greenpeace would help.
So far looking on Meta, it seems that the best examples deal with discourse itself, other open source or notable software projects, or for customer support for products like soylent. There are also general-interest community forums that are impressive to look at but don't quite make the case I'd like to make that discourse is a powerful tool to empower people working for social change.
Is there or are there plans for an official directory of discourse implementation or a category? It may be time soon to move beyond this topic in meta which is not very user friendly.
