Links in topic titles override topic link

Found on WTDWTF

  1. Create a topic with HTML in the title - for example, <a href="https://google.com">Topic Title</a>
  2. Attempt to "Reply as linked Topic" to the topic in #1
  3. The link to the original will go to google.com instead of the original topic

Putting a link in the topic title allows you to override the "Continuing the discussion from..." link, allowing it to go to an arbitrary destination...

EDIT: Almost forgot - Credit @abarker and @onyx for this as well.

Are there any security checks on uploads from users? IE does Discourse do anything to stop people from uploading corrupt images, binaries, .js scripts, etc?

Hi there, i started a new forum and have created few topics to establish a content, in the course of doing that i have visited these topics many times on my own, now these have 40+ views, all mine..
how can i reset the "views" counter to 0 to let the real views of real users determine which ones are at the top and give a chance for new topics by users to feature at the top of the list.

The pop-up still appears in public topics, just not in PMs; is this intentional?

Issue found on TDWTF; it's not present on @riking's test forum, which is running an older version of Discourse.

Hey,
So I know that in the forum there is a click counter for every post's link.
Is there a way to see the total number of clicks for the whole forum? (Other than going manually through each and every post and counting them).

Thanks!

Bootstrapping fails - trying to install postgress in /shared?

Hi, I've successfully got docker up and running on a Centos 7 VM, and am following the instructions at https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-digital-ocean.md

The server is a clean install, minimal install with updates applied via yum.

Everything seems to work fine until I get to the bootstrap section, then this piece of ugliness shows up:

[root@docker01 discourse]# ./launcher bootstrap app

From what I'm reading, it seems to be attempting to install postgres in /shared - I'm new to docker so I assume it's trying to install in that subdirectory of the docker jail. Sorry for using old-guy terminology - been running servers for years but never played with docker before.

Help greatfully received!

Thanks
Dex

Notice the double slash in "/admin//plugins". Could this be the cause?

Integrated Discourse with Wordpress but the URL to 'continue the discussion' doesn't work

Hey.

So installed the Wordpress plugin and configured it, so this where comments were this now appears below new posts:

But the link looks incomplete:

http://discourse.example.com/session/sso?return_path=

Here's the config on WP:
(I have API key and URL to discourse set up)

Also the config field "published category" doesn't populate (blank dropdown) so may suggest it's not linked with Discourse.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Getting started with implementing customizations by creating custom plugins

@tonninseteli wrote:

So I've finally had the time to look into modifying Discourse, and as some of these modifications are getting a bit cumbersome and possibly dangerous to implement by using replace or copying files in app.yml, which I've managed so far, but I think the preferred method of creating custom plugins would make more sense to me certainly at some point..

For example, I'm not exactly sure how would one go about overriding particular behaviour that is not provided by a built-in plugin (but for other thing like a component or module?) especially if I understood correctly that builtin plugins should be removed before adding a custom one.

I know this is kind of a "So I heard about this thing called music, how do I make music myself?" -type of question, but currently I'm really baffled by the terminology and their relation and could use a brief overview of what affects what and where does it all come from.

Or (probably) even better, if someone could briefly assess if I'm on the right track if I intend to launch a virtual dev environment running recommended ubuntu + vanilla docker install and dig the innards with an IDE such as Rubymine?

Hello.

I've been using Discourse for a good 6 months without any flaws. However, when attempting to restart it today I ran into an error:

FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP

Not sure what's going on. I've rebooted it several times before without this issue occurring. I have also looked into DNS issues as those were the most relevant results on Google, but these fixes seem to have no effect.

Docker Upstart and SysVinit configuration file
Customize location of Docker binary (especially for development testing).
DOCKER="/usr/local/bin/docker"
Use DOCKER_OPTS to modify the daemon startup options.
DOCKER_OPTS="--dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4"
If you need Docker to use an HTTP proxy, it can also be specified here.
export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:3128/"
This is also a handy place to tweak where Docker's temporary files go.
export TMPDIR="/mnt/bigdrive/docker-tmp"

This is the /etc/default/docker file that was referred to in other posts.

All help is appreciated, I currently can't start the app.

Edit: After the 13th attempt it seems to be working again. Any idea why this happens?

Clicking the lock in a locked topic's title: a wild thumbtack appears

@Zecc wrote:

If I click the lock before a locked thread's title1, a pinned thumbtack appears.

If I keep clicking the lock or thumbtack, the topic will toggle between pinned and unpinned (or at least it looks like it, judging by the state of the thumbtack).

There's no such toggle for unlocked threads. I'm not sure which of these two cases is in error.

1 A thread I can't unlock. I haven't tried otherwise because I don't have enough of a trust level.
