It would be nice to have a plugin for static site generators like Jekyll or Octopress, since the performance and security benefits of those platforms are significant if you would take the time to learn it.
What do you guys think?

If you have all six authentication services enabled as well as username/password and you're a fairly forgetful person (like me), it's possible you'll repeatedly forget what service you used to authenticate with a Discourse installation. It would be nice if, after my initial signup, I could go into my preferences and create more *userinfo associations with my account so that I can choose any old service to login to my existing account.

I'd like to be able to, via the API, create a Discourse topic but not have it show up until a defined time in the future. This is really handy for things like announcement posts, so I can create a new topic to announce a thing at some point before the release of the thing, and have the forum discussion become available automatically at release time without me having to do anything. Has this sort of feature been discussed? (I did take a glance at the code, but I'm not really a Ruby guy, and I fear walking through the code and changing every single request for a topic to include "
and publish_time <= now"...)

I think the oneboxing logic isn't respecting the text color setting for the category.

I was just testing the invite-friend functionality, so I sent out an invitation, accepted it and logged in as a new user in a new window. Coming back to my original window, I saw this:
Which was very confusing, because apparently what has happened here is that Discourse has logged me out and back in again as a new user, but not only has it not told me that this just happened, but my avatar hasn't changed (and I had to hover over those buttons to make the icon show properly instead of just a square box as well).
I think it would be better to do something like a "It seems you were logged out. Please refresh this page" prompt or something of the sort.

I recently added a way to add arbitraty HTML at the top/bottom of every page in the forum.
Go to the content tab of the admin section of your forum. You should see two new site contents:
Top of the pagesandBottom of the pages.Here you can add all the HTML code you want, but for the sake of the demo, let's add some cats.
Select the Top of the pages tab and add the following code:
<div style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px"> <img src='/uploads/meta_discourse/2213/f62d5de34cc8199e'> </div>Hit the button and reload your homepage. You should see something like:
This is pretty basic for now but it'll hopefully help you to easily add any kind of advertising you want.
What you think of it?

Out of the box invitations are good for 14 days, when this period expires the user clicking on the invite must be informed that the invitation expired.
If a user is ever invited again to the topic the day counter must be reset.

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_menusite setting:This setting determine which items will appear on the post menu and their order:
This list is used by the
PostMenuViewwhich 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
rendermethod is called by EmberJs whenever it needs to render the view. First, it will render the replies button (call tothis.renderReplies) if there is any. Then, it will iterate throughDiscourse.get('postButtons')which is a basic wrapper around thepost_menusite setting and will call the methods namedrender<Button>if it is defined on the view. For example, for thereplybutton, it will call the method namedrenderReply.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
clickmethod is called by EmberJs whenever the user clicks on the view (that is, on any button). That method retrieve the name of theactionto call by looking at thedata-actionattribute of the targeted element or its parent's. If an action is found, it will look for a method nameclick<Action>in the view and call it if it is defined in the the view. For example, if the action isreply, it will call theclickReplymethod.So, these 2 methods allow us to control both the rendering of our button by defining a
renderSomethingmethod and control the behavior whenever the user clicks on the button by defining aclickSomethingmethod.Let's call our button hide and add it to the
post_menusite setting: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="fa fa-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:renderHideandclickHide.The
renderHidemethod is used to render the hide button which is composed of a chevron icon. It looks for thetemporarily_hiddenproperty on post to determine the direction of the chevron.The
clickHidemethod is toggling the visibility of the current post via jQuery and thetemporarily_hiddenvalue.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_hiddenis changed. To allow for that, we add a new observer usingDiscourse.View.renderIfChangedwhich will be observing that property and will internally callrerender()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)
When you click on it, it hides the post and the chevron changes direction
Hope you enjoyed it

I'm assisting in running a Wordpress-based site. It's still pretty new, so although it started by using bbPress as the forum software, we're not past the point of no return. There are a lot of hacks we're going to have to do to get bbPress to work right (no post-preview support, for example) so I'm really eyeing up Discourse.
Is it possible to have Discourse use the existing Wordpress install as the source of logins? I'm looking to keep the site single sign-on (the one advantage bbPress gives). I'm ok if I need to script an initial migration and then all future ones are automatic. Anyone have experience with this?

I had my gt4stinger.com forum setup with some parent categories which contain sub-categories.
I was playing around with functionality and user experience and thought that perhaps 1 level hierarchy, using categories, is perhaps the best way so I decided to remove all parent categories that had sub-categories and it looks like I've orphaned all of the sub-categories since it doesn't show in the category section.
Here you can see I have 7 current parent categories and I [naively] expected that by deleting a parent category, the sub-category would automatically assume a parent category.
http://gt4stinger.com/categoriesIs this a bug? Though it looks like there wasn't a protocol for this type of situation yet? Thank you in advance Discourse team. I'm thoroughly enjoying the Discourse experience thus far!
