Ember Performance 1.7.1 -> 1.8.1

Robin Ward wrote:

This morning we upgraded Discourse from Ember 1.7.1 to Ember 1.8.1. The best news involved here is it means that there are no longer metamorphs in our code! Also, we are on track to support the future upgrades to Ember including HTMLBars, which is close to landing in beta.

Unfortunately, there are some performance regressions in Ember 1.8.1. The Ember core team is aware of them and are working on reducing them as time goes on. Many are the result of backwards compatibility between HTMLBars and Handlebars.

This post is meant to catalog some of the different performance characteristics, using the ember performance suite that we created.

The following are preliminary results; we're still going to tune the ember performance suite and eventually provide better statistics:

overall (all platforms):

render list: 236ms -> 243ms (3% slower)
render unbound: 143ms -> 205ms (31% slower)
render complex: 602ms -> 715ms (18% slower)

chrome (desktop):

render list: 369ms -> 316ms (16% faster)
render unbound: 217ms -> 298ms (37% slower)
render complex: 647ms -> 681ms (5% slower)

chrome (android):

render list: 376ms -> 434ms (15% slower)
render unbound: 192ms -> 191ms (no diff)
render complex: 1440ms -> 1725ms (16% slower)

safari (desktop):

render list: 21ms -> 24ms (14% slower)
render unbound: 33ms -> 37ms (11% slower)
render complex: 120ms -> 143ms (19% slower)

safari (mobile):

render list: 136ms -> 189ms (29% slower)
render unbound: 73ms -> 97ms (32% slower)
render complex: 403ms -> 509ms (20% slower)

"null" and "undefined" on profile

Almost all user profiles and user cards show "null" and "undefined":

BTW: On the profile page there is a space between the username and "null" (which I guess should be the shield icon for mods and admins?). On the user card this space is missing. wink

Topics do not show the category anymore

Posting frequency numbers are incomparable between each other on the categories page

Anton wrote:

Hi there.

The problem is that the numbers are BIG while "month", "week" etc are small, so an eye typically catches numbers quickly and compares them.

On the screenshot it seems that the frequency is almost the same, while it's not: 3 / month (1st) vs 2 / day (2nd).

Possible improvements - either some of them or altogether

  1. Make different colors for year / month / week / day

  2. Keep at least one number always constant, e.g. "per year". So that people can compare numbers visually.

  3. It is also possible to only keep numbers and show them like "12 / 1", where the first number is average per year, the second is average per month. And make each number different color.

Alternative #1

Show 2 numbers:

25 messages
3 topics

Meaning there are 25 messages and 3 topics per month in average for a particular category.

Alternative #2

Considering this blog post...

"Because reading is fundamental"

http://blog.codinghorror.com/because-reading-is-fundamental-2/

...show number of hours people spend reading topics in a particular category besides the number of messages people write for the same period of time. E.g.:

25 messages
340 hours

Meaning in a single month people write 25 messages in the category and spend 340 hours reading (all readers summed up).

The best way to add "Show more..." link/button on the Categories page

0

Anton wrote:

Currently, 99% of our users (including mods) are confused about the categories page.
They cannot realize that what's shown in the "Topics" column is only part of the category content.

So I'd like to add a "Show more topics..." or "Show older topics..." link/button somewhere.

Did someone do this in the past and what's the best way to do it without digging in Ruby sources?
Maybe some JS before </body> and use of API?

People confuse two "pencil" icons: edit the message and number of past revisions

Anton wrote:

In this topic I'm discussing the following icon:

A lot of people keep asking why can't they edit their messages by clicking on the icon.
It is confusing especially if the "Edit" button under the message is hidden under the "..." button.
What's more, its color is red, so it's catching users eyes first, and then they try to click it for editing.

Should it probably be a a different icon? E.g. clock watch: clock3

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a topic with category bug on meta with something in quotes, e.g. "foo"

Expected behavior:

  • The yellow "bug" category label appears next to the new topic when listing topics, or at the topic title.

Actual behavior:

  • No category label appears in either location.

Custom value for category slug

0

Jason May wrote:

I will have a large number of categories (thousands). Some of the categories will have long names and/or similar names.

I propose that an API client would be able submit an optional value for the slug when creating a new category. If provided, uniqueness on that value would be checked and the internal slug generation would be skipped.

Also, allow for changing the slug via API.

Is this reasonable? Are there other functions that might break if slugs can be overridden or changed?

Highlighter (as in Stabilo) trick for quoted content

Arnaud Sahuguet wrote:

I use Discourse to share relevant articles on various topics.
I reference the article and quote some interesting sections.
But often times I want to also highlight some words to make it easier for the reader.

Markdown does not support highlights.
But using a combination of ">" and "`" you can get a semi-functional result.

Tweaking the CSS and you get what you want.

blockquote > p > code { background-color: yellow; font: inherit;}

Badge to encourage users to invite active users

Anton wrote:

I want to encourage users to invite only the right people who can possibly become active users.

For this I'm thinking about this badge formula:

User invited N users who are currently not lower than level X

Do you think it's a good idea? How would you encourage users to do so?

I edited badge group names some time ago.

In a few days I noticed this:

While on the /badges page the text is still Russian and reflects my past edits, clicking the "edit" button in admin panel shows the old English names:

Am I missing something or this is a bug?

What can Discourse learn from Slack?

"Signup is not allowed from this account" errors sporadically

Mike Ottum wrote:

I have some users who have seen the error message "Signup is not allowed from this account" after clicking "Create New Account" on the signup screen. The email, username, and password fields all have green checkmarks next to them when this happens.

After a few retries, the users are usually able to create the account.

Any ideas?

LEGACY ROUTE for avatars

Blake Erickson wrote:

I'm working on fixing the 1 pending test (I can't stand looking at that asterisks anymore!) in the discourse_api gem which has to do with uploading avatars.

Anyways, I checked the Discourse Route file and found some LEGACY ROUTE lines:

get "users/:username/avatar(/:size)" => "users#avatar", constraints: {username: USERNAME_ROUTE_FORMAT} # LEGACY ROUTE
post "users/:username/preferences/avatar" => "users#upload_avatar", constraints: {username: USERNAME_ROUTE_FORMAT} # LEGACY ROUTE

Just curious if something internally was still using these routes? Or just wanted to keep from making breaking changes post 1.0? And if/when we should work on removing them?

I did get the new routes working for uploading avatars for the discourse_api gem, so expect a pull request soon.

[PAID] Point Subdomain, Import from FB Group, Install Plugins, Modify Theme

Gabe wrote:

Hi,

I'm looking to find someone to help me with the following:

  1. I had Discourse installed on a DigitalOcean server, but I need someone to point it to community.mydomain.com. Right now, the root mydomain.com is hosted with another company.
  2. I'd like to have users and posts from an existing Facebook Group imported into Discourse. Ideally, I'd like to have two groups imported into the same Discourse community, but if that's not possible then having one is OK.
  3. I have a couple of plugins I'd like to install:
    • Tagger Plugin
    • Translator Plugin
    • Advertising Plugin (if possible)
  4. I'd like to also make some theme modifications that can be discussed.

If these are things you could help me with, please private message with details of your Discourse experience.

I'll likely need some ongoing system maintenance as well.

Thanks!
Gabe

Please allow changing markdown link style

Hi there,

I don't like the way the Discourse topic editor creates links in Markdown:

[Example][1]

  [1]: http://example.com

On a long post, this makes it harder to change the link, because you have to scroll around looking for the link URL. I much prefer the normal Markdown link method:

  [Example](http://example.com)

Would it be possible to add an option to switch this default?

Thanks a lot!

Please add strikethrough and underline support in Markdown

Hello,

Github Markdown has strikethrough support like this:

~~deleted text~~

This would be extremely useful on my site. Additionally, it is sometimes useful to strikethrough an entire paragraph. Maybe it could be implemented like this?

~~~
Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text.
~~~

Additionally, it would be nice to have underline support like Textile:

+underlined+

I know that Discourse has bbcode support too, but I hate bbcode and all [hate]tags[/hate] pretty much. smile

Thanks a lot fore reading!
