Quoting a post which uses HTML formatting mangles it

OK, I think this is a bug. However, if it turns out that it actually is not a bug, then I look forward learning why it isn't.

While the option of using HTML to format your entire post is possible with DIscourse, there seems to be a problem quoting from a post which used HTML as the markup language.

What appears to happen is that all of the `<` & `>` characters around the HTML tags are converted to the `&lt;` and `&gt;` symbols. So, `<p>` in the original HTML becomes `&lt;p&gt;` when the post is quoted. The result is that the quoted text is unformatted and IMO unreadable.

I'll provide an example of this in a reply to this post below …

Note:
How could this ever be a problem worth fixing? Who would be so insane as to create not just one, but thousands of Discourse posts using only HTML? It happened to the tudiabetes.org site. When the site was migrated from Ning to Discourse the Ning posts were copied/migrated to the Discourse site "as is" (I am guessing). This "bug" makes it infeasible to quote anything for reference from the migrated HTML posts.

Is the max account check supposed to be bypassed on admin/staff account or via an API key, or is that only true when SSO is enabled?

(little aside: I can't ever generate a key for the system account. clicking on it in browser, impersonating, admin profile, etc -> always adds error log message can't verify csrf token authenticity)

Hey!

Discourse should always ask people to retype their password just to make sure they didint mistype it, especially when they are restting their password because its stupid for a user to have reset the password again just because they mistyped it. Also, if possible, it should display an icon when capslock is on.

Thanks.

I am trying to migrate attachements from our old forum to Discourse. However, manually uploaded files in /var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/ are not showing.

I have tried:

cd /var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/
mkdir migrated
touch migrated/hello.txt

Now opening discourse.website.com/uploads/migrated/hello.txt gives 404. It was working on the dev-server though.

I recently installed Discourse on a DigitalOcean droplet via this guide and everything has been working well.

At first I built it under a domain name that I later changed (in the app.yaml), and then bootstrapped the app again.

$ ./launcher bootstrap app

Which worked well.

Now, after a few users logged in and there are a few posts, I can't seem to bootstrap again, but get the error in the title.

marcus@node:/var/discourse$ ./launcher bootstrap app
cd /pups && git pull && /pups/bin/pups --stdin
FATA[0000] Failed to create the container ID file: open cids/app_bootstrap.cid: permission denied
cat: cids/app_bootstrap.cid: No such file or directory
docker: "rm" requires a minimum of 1 argument. See '/usr/bin/docker rm --help'.
FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP

Some details, the droplet only has 512mb of memory (I know 1gb is minimum, but I'm fine with any potential slowdown) and is running a 2gb swap.

The only thing changed in the app.yaml is the SMTP settings.

Any ideas?

Sorry, there was an error authorizing your account. Perhaps you did not approve authorization?

I tried revoking the app from the GitHub applications page, but nothing changed.

Is there any way to resolve this and regain the ability to login to existing accounts via GitHub?

I'm setting up OAuth (specifically Github OAuth) and have successfully created a Github app that has generated a Client ID and Secret key.

When I attempt to OAuth into my private discourse server using my Github account, I receive the following response:

Pasted image714x348 21.3 KB

I currently have public account registration disabled (how we have to set it up for our use) AND the email address I registered with is one of the emails associated with my Github account (HOWEVER it is not my primary or public github email address).

Has anyone experienced similar issues and found a resolution? Thanks!

Hi,
I am searching a proper documentation to create multi site in single server but still I couldn't find well defined documentation for intermediate level developer. I have tried some multisite discourse with docker articles but they haven't helped me.
1. http://www.webhostbug.com/setup-multisite-discourse/
2. http://www.pixeldigit.com/technology/linux/discourse-multisite-install/

Please create a documentation something like this https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md . I believe it will be a very useful documentation for most of the developers. Thank you.

I've been trying all day to figure out how to modify an ES6 file through a plugin. I've been able to create plugins that add javascript to the pages I want, so I think I understand the basics well enough.

All I'm trying to do is change javascripts/discourse/views/topic-progress.js.es6

from:

_updateProgressBar: function() {
    // speeds up stuff, bypass jquery slowness and extra checks
    var totalWidth = this._progressWidth,
        progressWidth = this.get('controller.streamPercentage') * totalWidth;
    this._$topicProgress.find('.bg')
  .css("border-right-width", (progressWidth === totalWidth) ? "0px" : "1px")
  .width(progressWidth);
  },

to: (only change is in the last line, changing width to height)

_updateProgressBar: function() {
    // speeds up stuff, bypass jquery slowness and extra checks
    var totalWidth = this._progressWidth,
        progressWidth = this.get('controller.streamPercentage') * totalWidth;
    this._$topicProgress.find('.bg')
  .css("border-right-width", (progressWidth === totalWidth) ? "0px" : "1px")
  .height(progressWidth);
  },

Is anybody able to help a poor soul out?

Hey everyone, I was wondering how some of you may have "dealt" with a user who is an intellectual bully? We are a software company and have a forum for people to get support, ask questions and connect with other users. This person G is a great software user (advanced) and does post great responses to questions but is very abrasive, rude and many, many users complain about him and leave the forum because of him. Our forum has a "reputation" because of him... Any thoughts behind "banning" and "warning" users? He is a power user and usually helpful.

From some of my users: "He has appointed himself Forums Etiquette King, and is trolling around squashing posters if they do not ask questions with his perceived correctness of style, punctuation, grammar, etc."

" ....obnoxious prick. I was trying to be polite to you. Your own tirade proved my point. Your historic response to anyone that challenges you is to go off on a tirade. You are a disgrace to any open forum. I have seen time and again when your intelligence level was challenged that you resort to name calling and abuse. If anything happens to be outside your comfort zone, you rule it to be trivial."

I do like the "Official Warning" feature on the forum - is that a good first step?

When is enough, enough...? Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex

Continuing the discussion from How to move posts to a new topic?:

I did this for the first time and noticed a lot of the posts which looked like replies were not in fact replies in a technical sense. So, I there is an option for "select this and all replies" but that only selected a few things, I had to select the rest as individuals. Is it possible that people are not clicking the pale blue reply button? Or am I missing something else here.

Hey guys,

When we release a new version of our software we need to post an announcement to our forum like I did now manually at https://discuss.gradle.org/t/gradle-2-4-released/9471

Before moving to discourse we used getsatisfaction. GS allowed us to prefil the title of a topic we create by offering a URL like this:

http://my-forum.org/gradle/topics/new?topic[subject]=Gradle+2.4+released&topic[style]=update

This allowed us an easy convenient way to create that announcement by just clicking the link from my mailbox and it guaranteed that there was no typo in the title so we could already process the url to that post. Is something similar possible with discourse?

One other question: is it safe to just link to https://discuss.gradle.org/t/gradle-2-4-released instead of https://discuss.gradle.org/t/gradle-2-4-released/9471 or can there be any trouble with this not always being support (given that the topic title is only used once)?
