I'm having some weird trouble trying to install Discourse using the official guide on an Ubuntu 14.04 droplet. Here's the output of launcher:

So I'm pretty sure the problem is to do with the path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc///shared but I have no idea where that is coming from.

Anybody have an answer?

Crowd plugin authentication

Hi,
@eviltrout After a few days of issues with rebuilding the app in Docker (stupidity on my part having indentation issues in app.yml), I was finally able to have Crowd plugin installed. Since we use Atlassian Crowd internally, that server is using self signed cert, causing Crowd plugin to choke while authenticating, and eventually timing out. Output from /var/www/discourse/log/production.log:


Started GET "/auth/crowd" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-11-11 19:32:49 +0000
Started POST "/auth/crowd" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-11-11 19:33:04 +0000
Started GET "/auth/crowd/callback" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-11-11 19:33:04 +0000

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed):
  lib/middleware/anonymous_cache.rb:117:in `call'
  config/initializers/quiet_logger.rb:10:in `call_with_quiet_assets'
  config/initializers/silence_logger.rb:26:in `call'
  lib/middleware/unicorn_oobgc.rb:95:in `process_client'

In short, user hits the login page, clicks on login, clicks on with Crowd option, enters the credentials and that's where it times out. I have set up API application on Crowd and allow certain groups to authenticate from this host and few others.
Is this the case of self signed SSL issue, and if so what could be changed to allow using self signed cert on Crowd server?
Thanks!

Rails/Devise and SSO Question

Luke Wright wrote:

I'm a pretty new rails developer, and I'm trying to implement an SSO system between a rails app using devise for the user authentication and a discourse app.

I've found this documentation and while helpful, it's unclear to me how I'd make this work in practice between the rails side and the discourse side. I've extended Devise's SessionController to include the SSO method and added a route, but beyond that I really don't know where to go.

I've asked in the IRC channel, and there's this SO question from someone else that never got an answer.

This is pretty critical for a site we're hoping to launch next week and any kind of help would be much appreciated! I'd be happy to write up a blog post or post a detailed explanation here of how it worked after I get it working.

Some ideas for improving the flagging dialog

David McClure wrote:

Continuing the discussion from What about a "ticketing" system for suspensions?:

In the Flag dialog, it would help to clarify to users how flags do or don't blemish the user's reputation. Does it immediately have some demerit? Or must a moderator first agree with the flag?

I bring this up because I noticed this on the site point forums banner (emphasis mine):

It makes me think that users are hesitating to cast flags because the consequences are not clear. I know I've hesitated in the past, and I know there was an earlier discussion that resulted in the addition of the text "does not cast a flag" to the "Notify user 'flag'".


Here's what the dialog looks like now:


Here's what I propose:

Changes:

  1. Remove "Notify @user" - its redundant now that its so easy to PM from a user card.
    If the functionality of auto-linking to the post is valuable, move it to the user card. It can always be deleted if necessary. Removing this makes it more clear that the flag dialog is only about flags.

  2. "Thank you for helping" heading instead of the more challenging "Why are you doing this?"
    Also, a less threatening color.

  3. Change 'notify moderators' to 'other' to make it more clearly a catch-all for flags that don't clearly fit into one of the other boxes.

  4. Explanatory text next to submit button to clarify that the flagger's name isn't revealed to the post's author.

I got linked to http://www.discourse.org/cla/ after submitting a pull request but in Chrome that's just a blank page. I viewed source and found that it has a "text/rocketscript" block trying to redirect to a Google form, but I don't know any browser that'll run rocketscript on its own. Looks like this is some wordpress async voodoo?

Then heading over to the google form manually reveals an introductory text full of unrendered HTML: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGUwejFfbDhDYXR4bVFMRG1TUENqLWc6MQ

Canonical URL when using SSL Offloading

$

Mark McDowall wrote:

I'm not sure if this is a unique setup or not, but it seems like it would be fairly common in a larger organization, dare I say corporate.

I use CloudFlare for DNS and its caching capabilities (SSL is enabled). I have a front end firewall that does SSL Offloading; it has a wildcard SSL cert and all backend web servers only have HTTP enabled. The firewall will redirect any HTTP requests to HTTPS so SSL is forced for all requests.

My issue is the fact that canonical URL under each topic shows the HTTP URL instead of the HTTPS one, which I presume is due to fact that discourse doesn't know about that the connection is HTTPS.

Example:

<link href="http://forums.domain.com/t/slug/2766" rel="canonical"/>

I also noticed that the RSS link on the same page does show HTTPS:

<link href="https://forums.domain.com/t/slug/2766.rss" rel="alternate" title="Post Title" type="application/rss+xml"/>

but other meta tags on the same page are HTTP:

<meta content="http://forums.domain.com/user_avatar/forums.domain.com/markus101/45/2.png" name="twitter:image"/>
<meta content="http://forums.domain.com/t/slug/2766/2" property="og:url"/>
<meta content="http://forums.domain.com/t/slug/2766/2" name="twitter:url"/>

Is there a way to get these URLs to be HTTPS without adding SSL directly to discourse, I'd like to avoid that to simplify SSL cert management.

Reporting new Slow Queries / Performance

Continuing the discussion from Slow sql queries:

Considering part of this months Release 1.2 is performance...

SQL Query love?

I'm wondering if any of the slow SQL queries might get some love?

The main reasons I ask are:

  1. I know some queries are slow for me
  2. my users are reporting slow page load times on mobile.

I know that mobile is generally slower because of the known android issue - so I'm thinking improving query times where they are obviously slow will help. In addition improve the users perception of performance.

What's the best way of reporting slow queries?

One big "Slow sql queries" topic I think is probably not best.

It would be nice to see something to log slow queries and automatically run an explain checking CPU / memory? - with text easy to grab and post on meta to try and help improve reporting of these. Perhaps highlighting them if they are more than expected.

Perhaps set performance expectations for query results on a per query basis - expected 40ms, max 100ms - log automatically if outside of this range?

This could be a good early indication to some admins that there is an issue with the forum / site / server.

Categorization of tags in the topic creation page

Continuing the discussion from Discourse Version 1.2:

Do others see value in being able to categorize the topic tags for selection. I feel it will make selecting tags easier for the person creating a topic and he is more likely to select all the tags relevant to his topic. Subsequently the person searching for topics will get more accurate tag filter results.

For example if I have 30 predefined tags for selection on my mobile forum, the tags can be categorised as under-
Topic Type tags:
Query, Troubleshooting Help, News,

OS Type tags:
Android, Blackberry, Windows, iOS

Carrier:
Verizon, Singtel, Axiata, T-Mobile

Other tags:
Budget, Premium, Contract,

Also I hope that we would be able to define tags specific to category. Mobile related tags will not make sense in a Motor Sport forum category.

I am looking for a way to grant a user a badge if they create a new topic in a certain category.

This badge should be awarded each time they create a new topic. (awarded multiple times)
This badge should not be awarded if they are replying to a topic. (awarded for new posts only)

How would I do this?
