I looked at the API, but I don't think it will do what I want (for one thing it requires the user to create an API key which isn't going to be practical).
What I want to do is have a way for my Mac application (Keyboard Maestro) to allow users to post content (from the application) to the forum. So the user selects a chunk of content, and clicks a button, and the forum opens up with the New Topic fields filled in (category, subject, content, including an uploaded file). The user can then edit the post as they desire before posting it.
Ideally, if the user is not logged in, they would be prompted to login/create an account first, but I could accept that they simply have to be logged in first.
Is there any way to accomplish something like this?

Hello all,
I have installed this instance using the now deprecated method listed here:
I understand the current recommended install is via Docker which I am fine with.
However, looking here:
It says: Both the new and old Discourses MUST BE ON THE EXACT SAME VERSION to ensure proper backup/export.
How do I upgrade the existing instance to latest or, is there another easier option?
I am fine with any solution so long as there is no data loss.Thanks,

Any idea?
Thanks!

When doing an upgrade through '/admin/upgrade#/upgrade/discourse', I get the warning in the on-screen log:
Warning: the running version of Bundler is older than the version that created the lockfile. We suggest you upgrade to the latest version of Bundler by running
gem install bundler.My question:
Is this something I can (should?) fix on my server, outside the Docker container?

I just installed discourse to a new virtual machine from the Azure gallery. It installed version 0.9.8.11. The admin screen tells me that this version is woefully old and that I should upgrade to version 1.3.1.
I agree with the admin screen.
So now what? How do I do it? I've asked Google about a hundred different ways, and Google keeps telling me how to upgrade from a different starting point than I am at.

hey there,
we are setting up our forum at forum.animatron.com and found some problems we could not find any answers to. if you guys can answer it that would be awesome, thanks!
we enabled cdn for our forum following this article: https://meta.discourse.org/t/enable-a-cdn-for-your-discourse/14857
the problem is that it loads static assets (.js etc) in uncompressed state which results in huge downloads (around 6mb).
the funny things is that gzipped assets are already there, if you add .gz to the end of any of those static assets (i.e. blablabla.js.gz) it will be loaded. the question is how to force discourse to request those gzipped assets, not uncompressed ones?we installed our SSO using this plugin https://gist.github.com/RobertoUa/c4ba4504ececad6585be
the problem is that it created some nasty looking usernames which we cannot change. attempt to change any of those usernames either shows an error (error changing username) or just does nothing.any insights into how to fix it would be much appreciated, thanks!

Is there any reason
@mentionsdon't autocomplete using the full name if it's not in English (specifically, if it's in Hebrew)? I plan to create a Hebrew forum mostly using full names, and having to switch to English, and remember the username, just to mention somebody is a real pain.(If it can be fixed and isn't too complicated, I will be glad to contribute a patch.)
Thanks,
Noam

I'm trying to deploy a stand-alone discourse docker instance, but I'm finding that I'm getting unsuccessful page loads (blank pages). When I load the page the first time as an admin, sometimes I see miniprofiler report a up to 10 seconds for DOM Loaded Event. Yet, once the site is cached, everything seems fine. I've actually found I cannot get a successful page load if I use firefox's inspector, and hit the 'disable cache' button in settings.
Looking at the network profiler, I see huge load times for some files (though, it doesn't seem consistent); sometimes it's application-.js, othertimes it is
vendororen.Similar effects happen if I try
wgetting application js:$ wget http://foo.internal.com/assets/application-1914811d144d39813a1f2689a90390b0.js --2015-06-09 16:16:55-- foo.internal.com/assets/application-1914811d144d39813a1f2689a90390b0.js Resolving foo.internal.com (foo.internal.com)... x.y.22.219 Connecting to foo.internal.com (foo.internal.com)| x.y.22.219|:80... connected.

I'm sure this is a local problem, however, I'm not seeing any thing in the logging that indicates any way to pursue this. Any suggestions?

I checked in two enhancements to embedding comments on remote sites today:
You can now embed comments on multiple hosts. Just use the + button to add more.
You can also embed to an existing topic without creating it. Normally embedding is meant to create the topic, but some people want to create the topic in advance and then embed its comments elsewhere. To do this, grab the
topicIdfrom the URL. ThetopicIdis the number that immediately follows the slug. For example given the URLhttp://meta.discourse.org/t/hello-world/12345/2thetopicIdis 12345.Use this slightly different embed code to embed by topic. Replace
discourseUrlandtopicIdwith your values:<script type="text/javascript"> var DiscourseEmbed = { discourseUrl: 'http://meta.discourse.org/', topicId: 29425 }; (function() { var d = document.createElement('script'); d.type = 'text/javascript'; d.async = true; d.src = DiscourseEmbed.discourseUrl + 'javascripts/embed.js'; (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(d); })(); </script>

So I was perusing the Emby forums the other day and I came across a locked thread. It was very obvious that the thread was locked because instead of the Post Reply button there was a big giant "This Topic is Locked" icon in it's place. Just wanted to suggest that Discourse consider doing something similar - this is really helpful as an end user so you aren't spending any time trying to reply to something when you don't realize it is locked.

Anyways, straight to the point is that when I do the test emails, it works (using Mandrill) but when my user(s) try to recover their emails, those emails never reach. Checking mandrill and discourse log and nothing there either... It's like these never get tried to be sent as I can see the test emails on the log but not the other recovery ones.
Where could I look to diagnose?

It is really hard to be precise about how much to scroll to reach the end of the dropdown. What usually ends up happening is that I overscroll and the main body starts to scroll.
I was thinking if we would want to disable scrolling on the body when the dropdown is active or at least when the mouse is hovering the dropdown.
