Hi, I just realised that i might have to reinstall my version of discourse instance, as something strange has happened
I was wondering how to reinstall discourse with the backup i made of my previous website (Without the error!) as i do not know how to do this at the moment!
Thanks
EDIT: I just read some other information, would downloading the backup, and then re-uploading work?

I'm trying to initialise Discourse by importing from a phpbb database (using the Discourse-provided scripts, which are very useful indeed). I've had to run the import several times to get it right and now that I have I'd like to import once more into an empty database.
I can't see an obvious way to do this (e.g. with a provided rake task). Is there a way?

Maybe I didn't go far enough down to find this answer, so forgive me if this has been already asked.
How can I make specific style changes to the home page without affecting everything globally? I know about using category number classes for the other pages, but I don't see a unique class or id for the home page. I'm finding that I want to leave some things for the rest of the category pages, that I want to change on the home page.

I'm looking to create a very basic startup script in case a reboot is necessary. I've followed guides for the other services, but am not seeing one for discourse. I wonder if someone here might be kind enough to write out a simple script for this and the commands which would see the process through to startup without issues.
This would be for Ubuntu 14.04LTS.
Thanks in advance!
Think I figured it out:
cd /var/discourse nano startup.sh #! /bin/bash ./launcher bootstrap app; ./launcher start app; exit ln -s /var/discourse/startup.sh /etc/init.d/discourse update-rc.d discourse defaults reboottesting now

We use Azure for our storage, and found a fork while searching the site: https://github.com/Corillian/discourse
We already have discourse installed and running, what is the best way to implement this?
Note: if necessary we can start over with a new forum

Properly configured email systems may reject emails from being sent when the From header does not match the account, rendering the installation defunct. A solution would be to have an environment variable in the container .yml (p)reconfigure the notification_email setting.
Postfix log:

-./launcher enter app
-sudo -Hu postgres psql discourse
-insert into site_settings (name, data_type, value, created_at, updated_at) values ('notification_email', 1, 'discourse@...', now(), now());
-./launcher restart app

I want to integrate Discourse into my PHP main page. Because I don't code Ruby on Rails. How can I catch Discourse session with PHP? All I need is a current user id, basically. I will be able to get everything else from DB manually.

Is/When ForumCon happening this year? Is anyone planning on going? A couple months ago, I discovered it and thought it might be something interesting to attend if it takes place in SF again. I thought they had some interesting discussion based on a video I saw on their website.

While creating new subcategories and switching back and forth with back button on the browser, I notice the following two behavior after a few categories creation:
- I cannot assign the "Parent" categories (parent categories is empty) when creating categories.
- When I want to assign the topic to subcategories, the "Categories" only listed "Uncategorized".
When I log out and log in again, things seems to appear fine.

First question, barring any obvious technical and platform differences (Node vs Ruby), should Discourse adopt Fastboot?
I personally think we should. Having fast (and potentially cacheable) HTML available to users without requiring JS to execute would be great for the site experience as well as things like SEO and accessibility. In my day job I focus on optimization for search, and prefer server-side rendering when available at least for the initial page load. Beyond that single page apps generally have a better experience with proper URL/history management.
If Fastboot was not able to be ported to Ruby/Rails for usage with Discourse and required Node, should Discourse add Node for the rendering portion alongside the Ruby/Rails parts?
This I am torn on. On one side, I love Node and use it as my primary platform both personally and at work, but outside of rewriting Discourse in Node, I feel it would be too much. I guess it would depend on the amount of pieces that would have to be maintained to accomplish this, but if it was easily isolated and worked similarly to any other client just as a Node process, that might not be so bad.
I wanted to open discussion on this as I think it is interesting and wanted to know what people think.

Continuing the discussion from Disabling English slugfier for topic's URL in Korean language setting:
Everyone has their own preference on URL structures:
/topic/###/discourse-is-awesome/반갑습니다-여러분/您好- or possibly
transliterationSome might prefer just English letters & numbers combination even they use their own languages.
If Discourse allows admins can choose the URL structure, it would be very useful.
Like Wordpress' 'Permalink Settings': http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_PermalinksTo me,
/t/topic/###is just OK, but maybe there are people who want to use other structure types in my country. Also, giving options seems better, so I create this topic.@fantasticfears would you add details or feedback?

It might be a cultural difference. (I've never seen this limitation in my country.)
I have been wondering why I can't put many spaces between lines or between letters.
It was not only for Discourse, but also many other forum softwares.I know it prevents from making a lot of empty spaces, it is nice idea, but sometimes it helps to keep readability.
(ex. Giving some empty lines between paragraphs.)Why don't you allow ...3 empty lines?
I am curious

Not sure if there is already a topic on this, but I think it deserves one. I guess most people don't think much about the optimal line length when they are considering lay out, at least, I used not to care about this, untilI began working with a more professional document preperation system (LaTeX).
I was suprised that the standard setting there is too have very wide margins, which felt to me like a waste a paper, until I found a post on stackexchange, which convinced me of the following:
It's not that the margins are too wide. It's that the paper is too big!
Something similar is true for our screens, they are way too wide, very cool for watching movies, but not at all useful for reading text.
The optimal line length for your body text is considered to be 50-60 characters per line, including spaces (“Typographie”, E. Ruder). Other sources suggest that up to 75 characters is acceptable. Link
Well, 50-60 characters a line is not much at all, it would be even hard to get only 75 character in each line, and still let discourse look natural on wide screens, but I think it is something to consider. I only realized how much better those 50-75 characters line read, when I compared reading a normal book with 60 characters, and printed this book out in A4 paper having 110 charachters on each line. It is really huge difference in readability.
Currently, discourse (at least meta.discourse.org) has around 110 characters per line. I played around a bit, and the image below has around 70-80 characters per line:
Sorry for the bad quality of the image, not sure how to make good quality screenshot with my macbook retina.
