Restore Welcome Post

Hello,

After successfully installing Discourse, I deleted my Welcome Post that was pinned to the top of the homepage. I did this because I thought I would just recreate it with my admin, instead of the Discourse System user. I've tried pinning it to the Uncategorized, but can't get it to show up (with the summary) at the top of the Latest when you first come to the site.

Any tips how to fix?

Help installing Discourse via Docker

Hi,

I have a problem with the docker installation.

  • got docker 1.5
  • cloned discourse_docker
  • copied samples/standalone.yml to containers/app.yml
  • set the dev's email, hostname and smtp settings (made an account on mandrill for that)
  • hit ./launcher bootstrap app --> says it can't find github.com

I want to mention that I have read the topics about DNS problems with docker but my problem is that I cannot ping 8.8.8.8 from inside docker or any IP from the Internet. I can ping all IPs from the host machine, even IPs from different subnets than the subnet of the docker0 interface.

Maybe I should also mention that I tried a few other docker containers unrelated to discourse and the internet worked with those.

Did anyone encountered anything similar? I would appreciate any hints.

My host OS is Ubuntu 14.04. Internet is working fine on the host.

(please delete my other post about the dev setup, I apologize for the false start)

Why is there a massive non responsive as the main UI?

We're building an Ember app at the moment and the discussions will all take place in Discourse. Really enjoy working with both.

I need to theme the Discourse side of things and I'm confused why the site uses a massive html table as the main list of posts. Am I missing something? Can I enable a mobile friendly version somehow which uses a nicely collapsing layout instead?

Or can I just override the templates in the customisations? Do I have to do that in discourse or can I somehow link out to external templates, so that they are under version control.

Or is there some great reason to use a table instead of some flexbox or grid system?

Really like how Discourse works.

Importing phpBB group/forum permissions

I've been able to run the excellent import script for phpBB and get most of the content moved over with a few tweaks for our situation.

Thanks to @neil and everyone who had a hand in the script. I've made an addition to the script for placing the imported users into their respective groups also. I'll add this to the official git and make a pr. Code at the end of message for review.

Has anyone had any luck with importing the phpBB3 group to forum permissions into Discourse as group to category permissions? I'm importing 123 forums so it'd be great if someone else had already knocked this out. I've searched meta but found nothing.

Importing user/group data:

def put_users_in_groups
   # group_id 4 and 5 are taken care of in import_users

    puts '', "adding users to groups"
progress_count = 0
total_count = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) count
                             FROM amazingc_forum.phpbb_user_group ug
                            join phpbb_groups g on g.group_id = ug.group_id
                            join phpbb_users u on u.user_id = ug.user_id
                            AND ug.group_id NOT IN (4,5);").first['count']

batches(BATCH_SIZE) do |offset|
  results = mysql_query(
    "SELECT u.user_id, g.group_id
      FROM amazingc_forum.phpbb_user_group ug
      join phpbb_groups g on g.group_id = ug.group_id
      join phpbb_users u on u.user_id = ug.user_id
      AND ug.group_id NOT IN (4,5)
      order by user_id
      LIMIT #{BATCH_SIZE}
     OFFSET #{offset};")

  break if results.size < 1

  results.each do |users_group|
    begin
      current_user = find_user_by_import_id(users_group["user_id"])
      current_group = group_id_from_imported_group_id(users_group["group_id"])
      progress_count += 1
      print_status(progress_count, total_count)

      next if current_user.nil?
      next if current_group.nil?

      GroupUser.find_or_create_by(user: current_user, group_id: current_group)
    rescue SystemCallError => err
      puts "Couldnt add user to group: #{err.message}"
    end
  end

Can't disable link tracking on runtime generated links

@pieterhoogenboom wrote:

Just upgraded to the latest Discourse.

I can't seem to disable external link tracking. It keeps forwarding links I add to /clicks/track e.g.:

http://nomadforum.io/clicks/track?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnomadlist.com%2Fchiang-mai-thailand%3Futm_source%3Dnomadforum.io&post_id=4542&topic_id=1817

But then that shows a blank page.

The thing is that I add links in the HTML on run time in JS, to make city names link to Nomad List. The issue is that those links are the ones where external link tracking stays on. So I think it's a JS capture that goes wrong because I add the links on runtime.

Any idea what I should do to fix this?

Amazon deployed a region in China last year, but this region is not a part of amazonaws.com. The region name is "cn-north-1", and the s3 endpoint is "s3.cn-north-1.amazonaws.com.cn". So is that possible for Discourse to support this s3 region? Thank you for your fantastic work.

I was going through the feature list and I wasn't sure
but does Discourse use a theme/template/style setup at all.
And if so does it use a particular standard/framework?

Admin/mods can post to "uncategorized" with "allow uncategorized topics" disabled

A continuation of this bug but different problem


Thank you @sam for helping me with the previous problem

I have removed all the topics from the "uncategorized" category.
Then I disabled the "allow uncategorized topics" feature.

Test 1 Error
Then I created a new topic. The default category was "general" and I did not change it.
The newly created topic was created in the "uncategorized" category. (I believe this is an error)

Test 2 as expected.
I created a new topic, this time I selected a different category and then reselected the "general" category
The newly created topic was created in the "General" category as expected.

Test 3 as expected.
I logged in as a non-admin user
Then I created a new topic. The default category was "general" and I did not change it.
The newly created topic was created in the "General" category as expected.


This bug only seems to affect admins/mod.
This bug only seems to affect the post if you leave it as the default category and not change it.
This bug only seems to happen when the "allow uncategorized topics" feature is disabled.

How do I stop myself from receiving email notifications when I reply to a topic?

We've recently set up Discourse, and I've found that every time I reply to a new topic, I will receive an email containing my reply. This seems similar to Getting notification when you reply to a topic, though this topic does not discuss email notifications.
I feel like this is a bug as I know what I've just posted; I shouldn't have to receive an email confirmation.

Someone just opened a followup on a closed topic. I wanted to quote one of the post in that closed topic to support why I think the person should not have opened another topic.

But... turns out you can select text in a closed topic, but the quote button won't appear. The editor is also hidden.

Of course this makes sense within that closed topic. But it's not a very uncommon thing to quote from a closed topic into another topic.

The Official Discourse Tags Plugin: discourse-tagging

@eviltrout wrote:

We now have an official plugin to add tagging functionality to Discourse:

https://github.com/discourse/discourse-tagging

About discourse-tagging

This plugin provides tagging functionality to Discourse. When users create topics they can optionally attach tags.

Tags are a useful alternative to categories for some forums. For example if you were running a music forum, being able to tag a topic as "Hip Hop" and "Electronica" would be useful. If you were using categories you'd have to choose one or the other.

Features

  • Users can tag topics with tags

  • You can restrict who can tag to a particular trust level

  • Users can choose to auto watch tags as desired

  • Users can list all tags, and filter topics by tag

  • There are bulk tools to assign tags to many topics at once and to rename tags.

Installation

Follow our Install a Plugin howto, using
git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-tagging.git as the plugin command.

Once you've installed it, review the settings under admin and then enable
tagging_enabled.

New post VS reloaded post

In posts, user's groups are added as classes to the span that contains their username:

In this screenshot, it appears I am only a member of the admin group. However, I am actually a member of more than one group - my "primary" group is developer. After reloading the page:

So, it is only when you are in a thread and a new post loads in that this bug occurs. I assume there are just two separate baking processes or something of that nature. This has actually caused some other weird behavior that I've noticed in the past (I can't think of it now).


On a related note, we have a plugin that adds a signature to the end of the post menu, and we have a similar issue: Signatures are not appended to posts that load when viewing a topic. Perhaps these problems are caused by the same behavior.

Badge customization

@NomNuggetNom wrote:

I would love if we could get some more advanced badge options, like:

  • Picking colors!
  • Allow the badge icon (or image?) to be shown in the post, like this:

  • If the badge is being used as a title, add the name of the badge into the HTML of the post. For example, take the "Sample" badge's current HTML:

<span class="user-title">Sample</span>

Ideally, this would become:

<span class="user-title badge-title" data-badge-name="Sample">Sample</span>

Which would allow for some fancy CSS customization :).

Group titles & listing

@NomNuggetNom wrote:

Currently we are half way in between groups and badges on our forum, as both seem to be missing something the other isn't.

One of the things groups are missing is the ability to use the group name as a title. Clicking this title would lead to the group member page.

The second is a place where you can view all the groups, just like the badges screen.

Change username requirements

@NomNuggetNom wrote:

Our forum is dedicated to Minecraft, and it allows users to use their Minecraft username's to sign on. Because these parameters differ from Discourse's, names are incorrectly changed. For example, _Username (a valid Minecraft username) is changed to Username.

What really doesn't make sense is the we use SSO to override usernames, but the username standards are still enforced. I'm not sure of any reasoning behind this - I think SSO override should.. well, override stuck_out_tongue. For now, is there anything we can do to prevent usernames from getting changed?
