Continuing the discussion from Ability to hide or delete old revisions on selected posts:
I've just pulled the trigger on this option, but existing post revisions are still there.
Will this go back and prevent existing changes from being seen, or does it only effect future posts?
Thanks!

The link from the browsers address bar just link to the Question and don't link to the answer - if you were to click the normal link yourself it goes to a different location to the onebox.

It would be nice to see the number of times a YouTube onebox embed had been clicked on ("played").
Considering that YouTube onebox embeds in Discourse are just simple links.
e.g.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siMFORx8uO8Which embeds as:
![]()
Note the title of the video is actually a link and if clicked goes to YouTube.
I believe both of the following should be counted:
- Clicking the Play button in the centre
- Clicking the Title link
A simple mock up would be:
![]()
Although this wouldn't be the actual count of plays and people might replay etc. it would be a good indicator.

I have a question about reading a thread when you expand the replies under another reply... you will still see that reply again below. I did read the thread about this, but the discussion was very technical for a new person to discourse, and it seems to have fizzled out anyway. So I'll start it again.
I'll also attach a screenshot. The arrows show the duplication. This is annoying and time consuming to re read replies. Maybe there could be a user set option to either present the thread in date order, or threaded, but not try to do both. People could set it to their preference.
oh well, I'm not allowed to upload images since I'm a new user.... another nice "feature" I guess

I am exploring the idea of using Discourse as a tool for peer to peer learning between students in Afghanistan and students in the west. Internet access in Afghanistan is very expensive relative to people's incomes. For this reason, it would be helpful if a topic could be downloaded as an html file to be accessed off-line. Is there a way to force all the posts in a topic to load so that they can be saved?

Currently on a per-user basis you can request a filtered list of public activity on a per user basis e.g:
https://meta.discourse.org/user_actions.json?offset=0&username=sam&filter=4,5Which returns
sam's topics and posts.I would like to be able to not specify a username and return all users filtered list of user actions as a global "hosepipe" feed...
... does this exist currently?

Apologies if this has been asked / posted elsewhere. On the category pages, is it possible on the Discourse Hosted version to have a picture/head shot of whoever originally posted the discussion appear to the left of the discussion title?
It's nice seeing what users are participating (under "Users" tab), but having the original poster headshot is something I'd love to be able to show.
Thanks!

I'm trying to setup a restricted forum where users have to be activated. I'd like for users to have to submit a lot of information so admins can verify it, but I don't see a textarea option to allow these applicants to enter much information.
Any built-in solution to what I'm getting at?
Hope that's clear.
Thanks.

Mandrill seems to be a nice service, but their payment method is driving us crazy. We cannot use paypal, with-which we get our donations and we tried with a temporary credit card and it also didn't work. I wanted to recharge with a lump sum using my own credit card, but it seems according to the form, that they keep the data of my credit card, and they use it again to recharge the account if the number of emails goes beyond a certain amount.
Sorry guys, I know this is a bit off-topic because Discourse just uses by default Mandrill as an external email server, and it's something I should ask Mandrill support, but I'd like to know your opinion of what to do in our discourse forum. We're growing!
Would you recommend us to install our own mail server on our VPS?

I searched for answer and no luck. Is there possibility to have option for regular user to mark the post as hidden from public or viewable only by admins. We have few clients that want to leave credential and to avoid opening new private message they could just tick the box to make the post hidden from public view. The only problem is that some might use this option in more cases than expected.
Thanks.

Should likes be expanded? Are they really enough to mark the post content quality? Are we that closed-minded to have everything based on liking system. Should posts have alternative options next to the likes for example:
Dislike
Agree
Do not agree
Irrelevant Content
Funny
Useful
Helpful
InappropriateWhat is the value of the post author based on the "custom likes" above?

I know my particular use case goes against some fundamentals of Discourse, so I don't feel entitled to any help, but since I don't have the programming chops to pull this off on my own, I had to throw this out there.
I'm trying to create a custom look and feel for my Games category. I have started by adding thumbnails to the topic list. By modifying Sam's personal "minimal" topic list design and using an example from @JSey I was able to customize it just for that category (which I know is very risky and highly dependent on version changes).
My code so far is this:
<script type='text/x-handlebars' data-template-name='list/topic-list-item.raw'> {{#if isGame}} //check to see if you are viewing the Games category <td class='main-link clearfix'> {{raw "topic-status" topic=topic}} {{#if topic.image_url}} <a href="{{topic.url}}" class=topic-thumbnail style="background-image: url({{topic.image_url}});"></a> {{topic-link topic}} {{else}} {{topic-link topic}} {{/if}} {{#if controller.showTopicPostBadges}} {{raw "topic-post-badges" unread=topic.unread newPosts=topic.displayNewPosts unseen=topic.unseen url=topic.lastUnreadUrl}} {{/if}} {{raw "list/topic-excerpt" topic=model}} <div class='creator'> {{#if showCategory}} {{category-link topic.category}} {{/if}} {{raw "list/action-list" topic=topic postNumbers=topic.liked_post_numbers className="likes" icon="heart"}} </div> </td> {{#if controller.showLikes}} <td class="num likes"> {{number topic.like_count}} <i class='fa fa-heart'></i> </td> {{/if}} {{#if controller.showOpLikes}} <td class="num likes"> {{number topic.op_like_count}} <i class='fa fa-heart'></i> </td> {{/if}} {{raw "list/posts-count-column" topic=topic}} <td class="last-post"> <div class='poster-avatar'> <a href="{{topic.lastPostUr}}" data-user-card="{{topic.last_poster_username}}">{{avatar topic.lastPoster usernamePath="username" imageSize="medium"}}</a> </div> </td> {{else}} {{#if controller.bulkSelectEnabled}} <td class='star'> <input type="checkbox" class="bulk-select"> </td> {{/if}} <td class='main-link clearfix' colspan="{{titleColSpan}}"> {{raw "topic-status" topic=topic}} {{topic-link topic}} {{#if controller.showTopicPostBadges}} {{raw "topic-post-badges" unread=topic.unread newPosts=topic.displayNewPosts unseen=topic.unseen url=topic.lastUnreadUrl}} {{/if}} {{#if expandPinned}} {{raw "list/topic-excerpt" topic=topic}} {{/if}} {{raw "list/action-list" topic=topic postNumbers=topic.liked_post_numbers className="likes" icon="heart"}} </td> {{#unless controller.hideCategory}} {{#unless topic.isPinnedUncategorized}} {{raw "list/category-column" category=topic.category}} {{/unless}} {{/unless}} {{#if controller.showPosters}} {{raw "list/posters-column" posters=topic.posters}} {{/if}} {{raw "list/posts-count-column" topic=topic}} {{#if controller.showParticipants}} {{raw "list/posters-column" posters=topic.participants}} {{/if}} <td class="num views {{topic.viewsHeat}}">{{number topic.views numberKey="views_long"}}</td> {{raw "list/activity-column" topic=topic class="num" tagName="td"}} {{/if}} </script> <script type='text/x-handlebars' data-template-name='topic-list-header.raw'> {{#if showLikes}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" order='posts' name='topic.title'}} {{#if showLikes}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' order='likes' number='true' forceName='Likes'}} {{/if}} {{#if showOpLikes}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' order='op_likes' number='true' forceName='Likes'}} {{/if}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' number='true' order='posts' forceName='Replies'}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' order='activity' forceName='Last Post'}} {{else}} //use standard topic-list-header view {{#if bulkSelectEnabled}} <th class='star'> <button class='btn bulk-select' title='{{i18n "topics.bulk.toggle"}}'><i class='fa fa-list'></i></button> </th> {{/if}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" order='default' name='topic.title' showBulkToggle=toggleInTitle}} {{#unless hideCategory}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable=sortable order='category' name='category_title'}} {{/unless}} {{#if showPosters}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" order='posters' name='users'}} {{/if}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable=sortable number='true' order='posts' name='replies'}} {{#if showParticipants}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" order='participants' name='users'}} {{/if}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable=sortable number='true' order='views' name='views'}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable=sortable number='true' order='activity' name='activity'}} {{/if}} </script> <script> Discourse.TopicListItemView.reopen({ showCategory: function(){ return !this.get('controller.hideCategory') && this.get('topic.creator') && this.get('topic.category.name') !== 'uncategorized'; }.property(), isGame: function(){ showOpLikes: true; return (window.location.pathname == '/c/games' || window.location.pathname == '/c/games/l/latest' || window.location.pathname == '/c/games/l/new' || window.location.pathname == '/c/games/l/unread' || window.location.pathname == '/c/games/l/top'); }.property() }); Discourse.Topic.reopen({ creator: function(){ var poster = this.get('posters.firstObject'); if(poster){ return poster.user; } }.property(), lastPoster: function() { var poster = this.get('posters.lastObject'); if(poster){ if (this.last_poster_username === poster.user.username){ return poster.user; } else { return this.get('creator'); } } }.property('posters'), replyCount: function(){ return this.get('posts_count') - 1; }.property(), hasReplies: function(){ return this.get('posts_count') > 1; }.property() }); </script>Essentially all I am doing is checking if you are viewing the Games category in a very sloppy way:
Discourse.TopicListItemView.reopen({ isGame: function(){ return (window.location.pathname == '/c/games' || window.location.pathname == '/c/games/l/latest' || window.location.pathname == '/c/games/l/new' || window.location.pathname == '/c/games/l/unread' || window.location.pathname == '/c/games/l/top'); }.property() });Problem #1: I know there is a cleaner way to do this, but my attempts failed.
I tried to use a similar check to load a different topic list header:
{{#if isGame}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" order='posts' name='topic.title'}} {{#if showLikes}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' order='likes' number='true' forceName='Likes'}} {{/if}} {{#if showOpLikes}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' order='op_likes' number='true' forceName='Likes'}} {{/if}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' number='true' order='posts' forceName='Replies'}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' order='activity' forceName='Last Post'}} {{else}} ...Problem #2: I don't have a working check to change the header view
Once that check is done I essentially load a modified version of Sam's code, with likes turned on using:
Discourse.TopicListComponent.reopen({ showLikes: true });Problem #3: I really would like showOpLikes, but whenever I tried that, the results were always 0, even if original post had a like (if I'm understanding how that is supposed to work).
You can see the end result of this here:
![]()
There are three more things that I would like to add to this if possible.
Problem 4: I want to change the like column to be interactive so a user can click to like the game without having to enter the topic.
Problem 5: I want to put a comment icon next to the reply count, but as usual, my attempts failed.
Problem 6: I want to change "+ New Topic" label to "+ Add Game"
Once again, I don't feel entitled to receive any help with this since this is very specific to me. I will hopefully be able to solve many of these problems on my own, and I will update my findings as I work on them. I just have been able to learn so much from this community, I didn't think it would hurt to put this out there in the meantime.

Currently, when you change the watching/tracking status of a category, it only applies that status to topics created from that point on.
If you watch a category and then a week later realize that's too much noise and decide to unwatch it, you are still watching each individual topic that was created during that week. Manually unwatching each one individually is unintuitive and time-consuming.
There should be an option to apply the status to the entire category, not just new topics.
