Hubot Integration

Okay, so Hubot is my new friend. I'm really enjoying how easy it is to play around with it and I'm starting to see if it can be used for business purposes.

The idea:
Program a set of commands that would be useful from a business perspective that relays data from a Discourse instance. Think: Number of new user signups, Latest article posted, Staff Checkin details, etc.

So I'm still very much in the research phase at this point, and the biggest question I have is "Do I need to have a Discourse API Key on my instance to get this data?" Or more specifically, when is a Discourse API Key necessary? I'm thinking it would be ideal for this use case.

Reply to a specific post via API

Hey all. I am attempting to reply to specific post in a topic thread. I can reply to topics, but can't seem to reply to specific post numbers.

sample x-www-form-urlencoded data:

category:6
topic_id:40
reply_to_post_number:98
raw:reply to post id 98 with 20 chars

This successfully posts a reply to the topic thread, but doesn't seem to show it as a reply within my web instance. I have tested this using the POSTMAN chrome app which successfully shows the post as a nested reply. Any insight would be a huge help. Thanks.

Edit: I AM including the api_key and api_username to the endpoint.

Best way to use Discourse for discussion of JSON data?

@mshamblott wrote:

I am new to Discourse and am planning to build a site that uses it to manage discussion of data. The data will be in JSON format served up through AJAX. I want some early advice on how to combine a dynamic HTML layout to display the data with Discourse. For example, imagine data in a spreadsheet. Below the sheet i'd like a discourse discussion of the data.

option 1
Paste discourse into an exisiting page

option 2
Modify discourse post HTML to grab and presents the data.

option 3
Use the wordpress plugin and do the layout by modifying wordpress. This seems pretty silly but I have used wordpress.

If the second option is preffered, what frameworks are best for display of JSON encoded information in a dynamically generated page. I dont use Ember but am happy to learn, and have used javascript + JQuery and PHP for other projects like this but lacking discourse. Iideally, I want to implement this as a discourse plugin, similar to the Google spreadsheet plugin but allows presentation of data in several formats such as image or video raw data linked to analyses in spreadheets and text.

Thanks in advance for takng the time to help a Discourse neophyte early in his development.

Location - Yours - Distributed Dev Team?

@DKH wrote:

Is Discourse's development team distributed globally? Like Wordpress'. My site is in stealth / development. While most of the site traffic is clearly mine / the development team, I noted that 15% of the traffic Cloudflare tracked is from Samara Oblast (Russia), with smaller portions from Australia and Canada. That from Russia is probably a bot. Australia and Canada? I'm asking in order to avoid future problems. I blocked traffic from Russia, Romania, and China. Since my site is only for US professionals, I'm going to block all international traffic unless that will cause issues.

New user's posts being deleted with (apparently) no information about why

@huon wrote:

Over at users.rust-lang.org we have a user who has had all their posts deleted by the system user as soon as they post them. For example, http://users.rust-lang.org/t/parsing-iterator-over-a-file/610 (still deleted) and http://users.rust-lang.org/t/file-reading-iterator/613 (manually undeleted). I've undeleted the posts that are meant to be undeleted (the first example is superseded by the second).

I cannot see any information about why this is happening; the user's account doesn't appear to have any strange settings/flags in the admin panel, and both the logs & post just display that system deleted the topic, with no info about why. (Of course, I may be looking in the wrong place.)

It would be great if:

  • this user wasn't having their posts deleted
  • discourse gave us more info about why it decides to delete things (or made it more easily accessible if it already exists)

Thanks.

Don't show topics from subcategories

@Maestra_Powers wrote:

Can you guys please add a checkbox in admin panel that will make all categories with subcategories to open /none page by default? It would be very handy if you use "show subcategory list" feature, because in this type of view second dropdown is missing when you open category. And the only way for user to get to /none page is to open any subcategory, then second dropdown appears and you can select "none" from it. Pretty hardcore logic.

I will probably change links of all categories that have subcategories to /none via JS if this feature won't be added. But it would be nicer to have this implemented.

After migrating from phpBB, my users found it strange that in Discourse there is no [color=#FF0000]color bbcode[/color]. I didn't fould a plugin for this too. There's a lot of color-pickers out there, I like this one in flat mode. Is there any chances that this feature will be added in future? If not, please move popic to plugins category.

How can I change the title format?

@geek wrote:

I'd like to change the title format for my forum. Right now it's %title% %category% %sitename% which is fine for the vast majority of people, I'm sure.

Since I'm syncing articles over from my WordPress instance, the title format for the discussion topic ends up being almost exactly the same as the actual article. Which causes some weird issues in Google.

So I'd like to change the <title> format to something different than what displays on the actual page. Preferably:

Discussion: %title%

I found a place in one of the files where it appears I could make the change, but I'd rather not go making code changes to the actual source code. And even if I did I'm not sure how to apply those changes.

Upgrade link and DNS CNAME aliases

@jehrlich wrote:

Just a note on behavior when clicking the upgrade link in email announcing a new version. This may be the behavior you want.

I have several DNS CNAME records which amount to aliases for my Discourse site. I normally log in using one alias, logged in as admin, and the new version announcement uses another. When I click the email link I get a blank page because I am not logged in at that CNAME. Perhaps there should be a login screen instead. If I open another tab and log in as admin with the CNAME of the upgrade link, then reload the upgrade link page, all is well. It confused me for a while.

Thanks,

Jim

No (automated) backups seem to be occuring - last one a couple of days ago. Any clues as to where to start looking (I don't have shell access to the server.)

Setting to only let staff upload media/attachments

Is it possible yet to allow only staff or moderators to upload pictures? If not, it should be done. I have 20Gb free space on my server, for big community it's like a month or two to fill. Especially if there's gonna be 31 megabyte gifs! So I disabled uploading for now (except avatars), but I need my staff to have this feature. Because they create important topics and I don't want pictures to be missed from there. And I don't give a care about pics in regular users junk-topics - yes. troll

A broken discourse - how to fix in the backend?

@redblue wrote:

Hi,

Currently using v1.3.0.beta3 +13. We've attempted some javascript header/footer customizations via:

Customize -> CSS/HTML -> head and body

but we've ended up 'breaking' discourse due to our JS containing errors. This in turn means we can't edit, delete or enable any other saved customizations. Basically, we can't edit or remove our own javascript:)

How can I remove these changes in the backend? Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks.

Fed Up of the Poor Customer Service of Mandrill App!

@Mohammad wrote:

It is almost 3 days since I am contacting Mandrill App Team about a bug in their billing system. But despite emailing them several times, I have not heard a single response from them.

Our Forum is expanding on daily basis and the number of emails sent each day are around 1K. We exceeded the 12K limit and most of our emails are in mandrill backlog and none of our member is receiving any Email notification. New users can not signup due to no email being received for account activation. We are totally helpless in this case!

Their billing system has a credit card option and no option for paypal. I did try with my Visa Card but mandrill is throwing an error (Invalid request - Error 418) or sometimes it says that "Your bank has rejected the request" something similar.

I contacted my bank and they said that everything is normal on my USD account and VISA card, the problem is with Mandrill billing system which is surely incompetent.

Why discourse Chose mandrill when it has such a poor customer service?
