Unused TOS custom user field safe to delete?

@downey wrote:

AFAIK, I am not using this pre-provided "TOS" custom user field, and we use SSO for external registration.

  1. Is it safe to delete this custom field using the (enabled) Delete button?
  2. Will doing so renumber/rename my 2nd custom field named user_field_2 in the databse or will user_field_1 be forever gone and not reused?

There's no reason to write
[code]if (string != null && !string.isEmpty())[/code]
when you can just write
[code]if (!string.isNullOrEmpty())[/code]
if you don't actually need to differentiate between a null result and an empty result. Of course null and empty aren't the same, but if you don't care, then it doesn't matter.
Basically:

This stuff almost always seems overblown to me. How often is it really important to differentiate between null and an empty string?

Allow to rename file names of uploaded images

After an image is uploaded, its name is shown when you mouse over:

It doesn't make a lot of sense for users nor for SEO.
It would be good if moderators and post authors were able to change that name after upload.

NB. It doesn't make a lot of sense to ask users to rename images before uploading because:

  1. They often do screenshots and the file name is given to the screenshot automatically and copied to the clipboard.

  2. The often just copy a URL to an existing image on the net and just insert it.

I always want to check my Level 3 and Level 4 members from /admin/users
http://example.com/admin/users/list/active

The reason is whenever I go to /admin/users to see active users I also want to check level 3 and level 4 too. In the current version of Discourse, if I want o look for level 3 and level 4, I have to go to

http://example.com/badges/3/regular
http://example.com/badges/4/leader

However, the information provided there is very limited. It's all about when they got the badge. What I want to see is

We've already has this, why not level 3 and level 4

CSS admin-contents reloaded

Continuing the discussion from CSS Clearfix for admin-contents:

I appreciate the idea, but (risking to sound nit-picky) dislike the result for my site: if you have HTML additions which rely on styles which now become automatically disabled, you end up with garbled admin pages - could this become an optional setting (I wouldn't mind if it defaulted to “off” for the discussed security reasons)? The alternative looks a bit appalling to me, to put all the styles for the HTML customizations as inline CSS…

When I reorder the top menu so that the first one is categories, the word "categories" starts showing up as if it was a part of the site's name in safari and on my phone

Can't I remove the word categories and just make it display the site's name?

Multisite for dummies

So I'm trying to setup a multisite configuration being complete newb in Linux. I can follow a tutorial, but official topic about this doesn't look like a tutorial to me. I got lost immediately. I understand that for better performance I need to start one Data container that will work with all sites and Web container for each site. But I have no idea how to do this and I didn't found any examples on forum (must be conspiracy). If someone already did this, please share your /var/discourse/containers files, so newbs like me could just use them as an example. Thanks.

How to tell if an upgrade to Docker Manager / Discourse was successful?

@TJO wrote:

Using 1GB RAM + 1GB Swap and the Unicorn changes, etc per the install guide, I had an issue going from 1.2b6 -> 8 -> 9 -> 1.3. I have snapshots + off-loaded backups, just in case.

Now, I received the out of memory error as seen here, every time I try to upgrade. I even reboot right before the upgrade.

Going to 1.3, I got errors on both the manager & discourse, however after reboots - it says that I'm current.

How can I verify that I really am current?

Thanks.

BBcode or HTML to change font color?

Hi!

Tried to use both bbcode and html to change font colors within a post, but neither work. Is there any way for users to do this? I'm sure it can be done through some css hacks, but it would be smashing if it were able to be done by everyone.

I did search for this first, didn't see anything. Apologies if this has been discussed before.

Thanks!!

"Like" button or link for email notifications

@downey wrote:

On investigating some of our email-based replies that are below the default 20-character threshold, many of them are for short responses of affirmation, e.g. "sounds fine to me", etc.

As I understand it, the character limit is designed to avoid just those type of responses in topics. One way to avoid user anger at the character limitation when they use email would be to include a link or button that would enable people to "like" the post for which they're being notified.

That way, the user doesn't have to struggle come up with some type of reply over 20 character minimum, and can voice their approval in 1 a single from their email client.

Thoughts?

Properly print/export long topic?

@lightyear wrote:

Heyah,

as I was just told my "Tagger: tags for topics"-topic is scheduled for deletion in a week, I wanted to make a proper export of the topic for my personal files. But pressing the print-button in my browser reminded me that caused by the ember-cloaking-view, I can only see a short part of conversations at a time. And fiddling around with the google-bot version also leads to rather frustrating results.

Whats the best way to "export" or permanently save a topic with a lot of posts without admin access?

I just re-invited someone to our forum, though their original invite expired.

I'm left with this:

user@sample.com This invite has expired. Remove Invite re-sent

Was their old invitation renewed? Did it resend their old, expired one? Is everything OK here, but the UI didn't refresh?

Thanks for any pointers

Night Mode / Alternate Theme?

@BLU wrote:

Hey there, I was wondering if it is currently possible to add or if it is possible to sort of jerry rig a night mode into Discourse. The base theme is very white and I think it would be nice to enable an option for a night mode or secondary theme to kick in on user request. If this is already possible to do, if someone could assist me with implementing this that would be great.
