When I click on the "Back" button and it redirects me back to Popular or New section, we could show previous list of topics (maybe cached in local storage) while loading all updates (instead of showing black "Loading..." text).

Thus it will be more static and less irritating for eyes.

I'm redoing our welcome email and would like to include a link which any user could click to access their own preferences.

Is there a generic link I could use? ie http://fqnd/my/preferences

or perhaps a way to create a dynamic url like:

http://fqnd/users/{logged_in_user]/preferences ?

TIA

I was visiting try.discourse to check another bug and hit the discussion happens so much thread noticed the side bar being little weird. Instead of showing 37 of 1000, it is just saying 37.

Continuing the discussion from Reference generic Preferences link?:

It would be nice if the /login page inspected the SiteSetting that causes it to appear, and if unregistered viewing is allowed, it changes the wording on the page.

Initial suggestion is just deleting the first sentence, but I'm sure you can come up with something better.

Would love discourse to ask for a "Close Topic" reason when i close topic. For example:

Instead of

This topic is now closed. New replies are no longer allowed.

and then editing the same post for including the reason.

Have discourse ask the reason and display the custom message .
Like:

This topic is now closed. Due to Inappropriate discussion.

Hi, Can we have a feature (like is available in other forum s/w), where a visitor / user can view the front page with all the topics and responses, but when he tries to open any post, he is prompted for login. Currently In notice one can either permit full access (view all posts without login) or force the visitor to login to view even a single post. I run a forum of 2500+ users in a specialized management area and looking to transition over from groupsite platform (which provides the feature I have requested for here). Any plans on this?

Continuing the discussion from So, you want to help out with Discourse:

Almost all forum software out there supports "polls". They can be quite fun and allow you to easily gauge what people like / dislike.

@Hunter was asking for some sort of spec of how I would see this work, so here I go.

• Polls should be designed as a standalone plugin. This important cause it ensures our extensibility story is solid and allows us, further down the line, to upgrade poll functionality outside of core releases.

• I think polls should simple be an extension of markdown that only applies on the first post in a topic. Eg:

  <poll>
  - This is the first option
  - This is the second option
  - This is the third option
  </poll>

• Initial implementation should only allow one vote per option.

• Initial implementation should not allow for anonymous voting.

• Choices must be locked in after 5 minutes

• On initial render it should not display the results, you must either vote or click on "show results" to see them.

• Initial implementation does not need to worry about randomising options on first view

• Data for the polls should be stored in Topic or Post meta_data (an hstore column) or in PluginStore, a custom migration in a plugin is a major work to undertake which we can skip for now.

• Controller to receive voting should be registered by the plugin using a rails engine, example is my blog https://github.com/samsaffron/blog

Questions / ideas?

I would like to keep the first go at this rather simple with minimal features.

As far as I know there is no way in Discourse to handle rewriting Amazon links, which leads to me double-checking to make sure people aren't trying to pull a fast one when they do post an Amazon link.

This could happen in one of two ways (or both):

• Add code to strip all affiliate codes from any Amazon URL
• Add code to replace and/or add affiliate codes into any Amazon URL.

I know this happened over at StackExchange a long time ago, so I'm guessing it's probably fairly easy to do.

I'm not personally that worried about adding the affiliate codes, but it would be nice to make sure that other people aren't adding them to their links, and I'm guessing it would be a really good feature for forum owners that want to make money from links on their forum.

Currently, the system user's avatar is this:

(note - I had to add a hack to get that to onebox - I added &x=.png to the end of the URL. that down as a bug)

I think it would be cool if we could come up with some themed avatar for the system user.

Thoughts, ideas, specific images?

I'd really like to see some more privacy settings and options built into Discourse. The intention is not to discourage pariticpation, but rather provide users with the comfort of knowing their discussions will only reach an limited and appropriate audience. This could be of particular interest to social circles as a social network replacement. Right now the only good way to separate is to run multiple instances.

I like the idea of having a per-category or per-board (if such things existed) user-level permissions. As well as the ability to define permissions at the group level, something similar to Google+ Circles.

What do people think?

I'm working on putting together a pull request for a more graceful way for a plugin to add fields to the create account form.

I don't want to mess with the Discourse users table, so I was planning on maintaining a separate table with a foreign key to the main one.

One thing I'm wondering about is if there is a current or planned way to allow controller hooks. Specifically what I want to be able to do is have a routine in my plugin that gets called after the Discourse user object is populated but before it is saved. The routine should get a reference to the unsaved user object and be able to influence whether or not the save action goes through or is cancelled, and should be able to return a validation error to be included with the response.

I like the way Redmine handles controller hooks. Would people be interested in a similar approach if I were to build it into a PR? Or is there a different way?

Thanks.

I am almost done translating Discourse into my language (Romanian) and I've noticed some items, for example the top menu (Latest, New, Unread etc.) are still being displayed in English even though I'm quite sure I've translated them.

How can I make Discourse load the newest versions of my language files (client and server)? Clean Discourse/nginx caches, recompile assets? What exactly should I do each time I update the language files?

The Blizzard "highlight all the posts from official Blizzard folks" forums feature has been a common request here, from @bp_ and others.

So I thought, we have

https://meta.discourse.org/users/codinghorror/activity

So why can't we have

https://meta.discourse.org/groups/discourse-team/activity

which would show all activity from the official Discourse team, for example -- or any other named group in Discourse?

The page could be a lot simpler than the user page, with these subtabs:

• simple flat list of recent posts by any member of the group (default)

• online state of each group member (last seen time)

... and some of the other features from the user page, but just the essentials.

That would answer a lot of requests for the "Blizzard tracker" feature right off the bat. And it makes sense that a group would have a public page just like a user does, too.

In all the different types of forums I've been at, they all include signatures or at least the option to include a signature below the message. Do you think this would be a good idea to implement or would it be too cluttered?
