"Executing action: latest" Taking a Long Time

Hi, everyone!
A discourse forum I help run takes a really long time to load initially. When I click on the timestamps, this is what I see:

The "Executing action: latest" action takes about 3 seconds. The overall forum load time on http://forum.kirupa.com is about 5-6 seconds from entering the URL. I actually migrated the server to a 4GB DigitalOcean droplet, but that doesn't seem to have fixed anything.

I noticed that other Discourse instances such as this one are much MUCH faster, so is there something that I need to configure differently? I read through the Initial Load Time post as well, but that thread seems to suggest using a CDN is a good enhancement. Is the delay I am seeing related to the lack of me using a CDN?

Thanks,
Kirupa

Unique registration for Discourse + Wordpress/Drupal + Wiki

Hello, I read other topic about integrations of Discourse with wordpress, drupal or static sites.
I'm very very interested in it. And I like mostly embedding Discourse in blog's posts as a comment system. It creates that linkage between outward and inward discussions that I was looking for.

I would like to propose to my community (we've been talking only by mailing list, a mess) to build up an online platform to discuss (by discourse), to publish (a blog where everybody are authors), to write collective documents (by a wiki).

My doubt is: can we make it simple, integrating the users of all this three software?
I mean, I would like that who is registered in Discourse gets automatically a user profile with same name and password also in Wordpress (or Drupal) and MediaWiki.

I have also other question, I'll open other topics... sorry for disturb!
Thank you very much, Discourse is awesome

Integrating Discourse

Hi All,

I love Discourse!!

I have a question about the feasibility of standing up discourse on my server and modifying it to work with our existing DNN sql-server based authentication/membership software. Specifically we would need to have discourse:

1) Authenticate against our database
2) Use our membership database for user names/avatars.

Has this been done? If not, does it seem feasible?

Request: Use existing forum topic for new WordPress post

After migrating from bbPress to Discourse I realised there's one thing I miss about our old "forum for comments" integration (besides that, everything works way better).

Quite frequently, big news would be shared on the forum before it turned up on the blog. The topics that really stood out could be "featured" via a blog post. Before posting, we'd have the option of bbPress creating a new topic, or simply point to an existing topic, which in this case is what we'd do.

Quite handy!

Suggested post summaries appear with double escaped single quotes. See screenshot for example:

Never mind, don't see screenshot as I am not allowed to upload images. But this is a real bug, happens on a fresh discourse install as of yesterday.

The "Do Not Post" category does not show up on the cat list.

No posts in said category.

I looked through the search results here and it seems like this used to be a bug but was fixed, however, I'm unable to figure it out on our forums.

Thanks for any help, even if it's to point out that I'm doing something wrong stuck_out_tongue

Fix plugin chinese-share-link

The plugins all did not work on my site suanfazu for days. Finally I found it's because the chinse-share-link plugin is broken (by checking the chrome console output).

You could install the plugin manully:

./launcher ssh app
cd /var/www/discourse/plugins
git clone https://github.com/suanfazu/chinese-share-links
cd /var/www/discourse
RAILS_ENV=production su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake assets:precompile'
exit
./launcher restart app

(new to github fork, not know how to push this back to the origin source)

And I found there are lots of broken translations in Chinese versions. e.g.
on page http://suanfazu.com/t/svm-zhi-he-han-shu/386/1
there's a broken translation "[zh_CN.undefined]", which should be "Suggested Topics" in English.
Please fix it. Or let me know how to debug this issue and I will try to fix it.

By the way, what's the tagging plugin meta.discourse.org is using? it looks good.

Non-Staff receive Notifications of Unlisted Topics

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it feels like unwanted behavior to me.

We had the following scenario take place:

  1. User A posted a topic
  2. User B who is subscribed to that category, opened the topic in a new tab and let it sit there
  3. Moderator 1 unlisted User A's topic
  4. User B eventually clicks on the new tab and reads the topic (sees it is unlisted, etc.) and posts a reply.
  5. User A posts in the topic, User B gets a notification of the reply

Now I know there isn't anything we can do to stop User B from seeing the topic in this regard, and I'm fine with that. What is odd is the topic is unlisted but User B continues to get notifications while it is unlisted. That seems odd to me, but it may be by design.

Things that may be important

  1. User A is TL 0
  2. User B is TL 3
  3. Moderator 1 and 2 are both TL 3+

I'm not overly concerned with this issue, but it kind of caught all of the Staff by surprise when User B started posting an in unlisted topic and repeat posting as part of the conversation.

Whitelisting some HTML tags

I am trying to whitelist some HTML tags and am using launcher's templates for this. The JS files gets modified properly, but I cannot actually use the tags: the lines with them are stripped of any content and are returned as <br />. Is there anything else I have to modify?


I am sharing the complete file here instead of a minimal example, because it might be of interest to other users:

# templates/assets-whitelist-table.template.yml

hooks:
  before_bundle_exec:

         Discourse.Markdown.whiteListTag('th', 'width', '*');
         Discourse.Markdown.whiteListTag('th', 'bgcolor', '*');

This is what I expect to be passed through unmodified:

Washington Post votes for Discourse (sort of)

"The Washington Post checked in with a choking-on-its-own-snark update, headlined “Mark Zuckerberg’s book club is off to a pretty lame start,” which cast aspersions on the Zuckerberg effort to get people to read, claiming “the Internet” reacted “hysterically” to its launch. Damn, I hate when Internets do that. Reporter Caitlin Dewey then went on to point out — uh, is anyone still new to Facebook? — that the social media giant’s platform actually sucks when it comes to hosting a coherent discussion string."

Seems like many people agree with Discourse users / admins - which bodes for a good future of Discourse.

Moving a topic post to a post on another topic duplicates the post

@DeanMarkTaylor wrote:

I had an odd experience where a user posted a topic that really made more sense as a post on the end of an existing topic.

So I moved it, in doing do it seems a new post was created with the existing topic post's content but the existing topic was left as is, with the exception of the notice post stating "I moved a post to an existing topic".

These are the steps that lead to the problem.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create new topic - completed by normal user - note this topic has no replies (admin completes remaining steps)
  2. Select wrench from top right
  3. Select Select Posts
  4. Select Move to existing topic
  5. Find and select topic
  6. Select

Expected Results

  • Existing topic to be removed
  • Post to be created under target topic with existing "likes" still applied.

Actual Results

  • Existing topic still exists
  • New post added to existing topic indicating I moved a post to an existing topic
  • Target topic has duplicate copy of original topic post
  • Copy of original post has no likes.

Not sure if this is a bug or support request...
... as this was unexpected outcome for me - but really don't know if this is "by design".

"Moving" to me indicates either a "copy" and "delete" or a "change of location" where the item can't exist in two places at the same time.

Are you using a real user to send welcome messages?

@erlend_sh wrote:

I started off our new Discourse forum with me as the designated sender of the Welcome Message. I figured this would be a nice way to give the message a human touch, and I did indeed have a few pleasant exchanges, just like I had here here on Meta when I got my welcome message from @codinghorror

Problem is, I now have hundreds out outgoing messages crowding up my Messages. When I went there to find an exchange I needed to reference it was really difficult because all of the messages are titled the same as well!

I ended up doing the following:

  1. Reset to default sender, i.e. @system
  2. Give @system our default contact e-mail.
  3. Set @system's notification settings to send mail when being mentioned or receiving private messages.

Hopefully this works out.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Did you take a different route?

I'd like to be able to make calls to my site's own API to determine if a user has permission to view a topic in a category that is otherwise not accessible to users.

It looks like I would have to modify TopicGuardian to do this. Is that the right way of going about this? Would I be able to make this as a plugin? (I haven't been able to find any canonical information about writing plugins that isn't 2 years old...)

Thanks.

I've found out how to visualise deltas between translations, but what I'd like is a way to know what has changed in the source English.

In this case, it's the FAQ/guidelines text which has changed, and I just don't have the energy to re-read both the source and translation while doing a mental inner join!
