Custom Fields show up as empty in user pref and admin/users

≫ Next: Can I disable click tracking entirely?

≪ Previous: Format numbers depending on selected locale

I am migrating over data that was being stashed in the PluginStore to a User custom fields so that it can be seen by the admins (student unique ids). While I can do stuff like:
 user = User.where(username: 'XXXXXX').first
 user.custom_fields["anumber"]
 user.custom_fields["import_username"]
I can access the data programmatically but the fields show up as empty in the users preferences and in the /admin/users display. The data are strings and nothing complex. In the /admin/users display they just show as - .

This stays the same no matter what settings I apply to the custom field. My dev instances code was updated about 6 hours ago.

Any thoughts?

Discourse's click tracking JS is interfering with some third-party click tracking stuff we are trying to configure. Obviously that's not Discourse's problem ... but it does point out that there doesn't seem to be a way to disable the click tracking entire if, for example, you don't need it.

Am I missing a configuration setting somewhere or, if not, could something like this be added maybe?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this can be called a bug, but it is an unexpected behavior:

Steps to reproduce:

Add a new file extension like tif to authorized_extensions

Attach a file with that extension to a post

Remove the file extension from authorized_extensions

Rebake all posts using rake posts:rebake

Expected behavior:
Rebaking of all posts should work, even though the previously attached file extension isn't allowed anymore.

Actual behavior:
Rebaking of posts fails for all posts that have attachments which aren't allowed anymore. They are stuck in the sidekiq retry queue. The error message is:
Job exception: Wrapped ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Original filename Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is not authorized (authorized extensions: jpg, jpeg, png, gif).
Additional information:
This error happens only with images. It doesn't seem to happen with other file types.
Lowering max_image_size_kb also results in errors:
Job exception: Wrapped ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Filesize Sorry, the image you are trying to upload is too big (maximum size is 3072KB), please resize it and try again.

I believe some people start using DigitalOcean for the first time just because you mentioned it in your Discourse install guide. I think you should also post your affiliate URL for DigitalOcean so you'll get a referral fee and it would be a sort of contribution to the Discourse.

Or make an agreement with DigitalOcean to pay a referral fee when someone creates account in DigitalOcean and installs Discourse with Docker, for example...

My opinion you should post DigitalOcean referral URL in the installations guides and here.

Thanks again!

Continuing the discussion from Only allow user profiles for TL1 and above?:

ralphm:

It would be useful to require a user to have at least Trust Level 1 before being able to post a profile. At the moment, we are getting quite a few (possibly bot) accounts posting spammy profiles upon registration. Granted, they probably won't be indexed, but it would be nice to thwart bots/spammers from registering just for this purpose.

Is this a possibility?

I don't know how effective it would be in stopping or even slowing down the number of Profile SPAM accounts. Worse case, they may even make the effort to get out of the sandbox making it harder to find them.

But I'm wondering if part of the problem is because the Preference About me preview displays a live working link. i.e.

For those accounts that are only stopping in quickly to leave some Profile SPAM, this may be giving them the false impression that their efforts have been successful.

Perhaps if easily possible, the preview could more accurately display the reality of it not being an active working link?

As awesome as the launcher can be, it feels very specific to running docker on bare metal that I manage. Not very cloud / container service friendly.

I've checked and re-checked the CORS settings, I've got the domain setup correctly in the settings. I've tried with and without the atom feeds and neither have worked. Nothing in the discourse logs give me much help. Any thoughts of what obvious mistake I'm making?

Hi,

I may be in charge of a new forum soon and I'm wondering about how discourse behave under heavy loads.

The owner of the forum will be one of the most successful youtuber in France, so that's a huge community to host.
I'm expecting an average of 100 to 200 simultaneous connected users with peaks up to 10 000 concurrent users.

Do any of you get any significative experience with this kind of communities ?

Also what kind of hardware do I need to support this ? (I'm used to deploy discourse on my own servers, I don't need assistance for server administration and I've read some topics here about how to scale discourse on multiple machines)

I think I'll do something like invite system to ensure a progressive increase of the load but I don't know what to expect.

Any advice is welcomed.

One profile page for Discourse and community site

@tsauerwein wrote:

We are planning to use Discourse as forum for a community site (the community site acting as SSO provider for Discourse) and we would like to make the integration as seamless as possible. For example we would like to have a single profile page and not two different ones for the community site and the forum. I am wondering what would be the best strategy to do this.

Currently the idea is to use the Discourse profile page and embed additional content (like recent activity or additional fields from the community site). But how can you change the profile page? Can this be done as a plugin?

Any hints are appreciated!

discourse-yuml adds yUML support to discourse.

From the readme

discourse-yuml

Add ability to write yUML class diagrams directly into a discourse post.

Example.png859x488

Installation

Docker

To install in docker, add the following to your app.yml in the plugins section:
hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - mkdir -p plugins
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
          - git clone https://github.com/sekhat/discourse-yuml.git
and rebuild docker via
cd /var/discourse
./launcher rebuild app
Manual

From your main discourse do:
cd plugins
git clone https://github.com/sekhat/discourse-yuml.git
cd ..
Limitations

Currently, it only supports yUML class diagrams.

Usage

A yUML diagram can be specified as so
[yuml]
[Class] -> [AnotherClass]
[/yuml]
Which should give you a diagram like so

Hello everyone and thank you in advance.

I installed the revive adserver and placed the code through the admin-customization meny, under TOP so I can now see the banner when browsing with a PC. But on my mobile, I cannot see the banner.

Is there an easy way to enable this so I can see the banner from a mobile device without having to force my android browser to be in desktop mode?

With mobile devices these days, I cannot expect advertisers to pay for banners without them having access to mobile users as well.

thank you very much for this great forum engine!

An edge case, I'm sure, but wanted to ask if there's any way to insert or re-order posts in a thread?

I ask because I'm working on a series of posts that all correlate with each other, like a story (a tutorial, really), from one post to the next. But it's a work in progress, and sometimes I find myself wanting to insert a post inbetween two others.

It's fine if the solution is to enter a dark backend somewhere and fuddle the numbers myself, but if so, is it straightforward enough for a non-Ruby developer to grasp? Here's hoping for a hidden button somewhere in the GUI.

So I have some categories that have one-word titles, e.g., "Foo", and also categories that have more than one word, e.g., "Foo Bar".

The following works for constraining search results to a category:

The following does not work:
category:Foo Bar or https://discourse.example.org/search?q=category%3AFoo%20Bar

I was doing this because I wanted to put a hyperlink to such a query to show the unsolved topics in my support category, but can't because that category has multiple words.

I've been experimenting with the "approve" feature on localhost and have noticed a couple of Bugs.

Apologies if this should be 2 topics, but I have a feeling they might be able to both be fixed in one go.

When a "pending approval" member starts a new topic, the only place it can be seen is via the hamburger menu.
I have no problem with that.

However, when a "pending approval" member makes a post in an existing topic, they get the "please be patient" message - so far all good - But all members can see this in the post stream

If a non-Moderator member clicks the link, they get the "Error, something went wrong"
* the link works for Moderators and goes to the "Approve, Reject, Delete User, Edit" page.

If more than one "pending approval" members make posts in the topic, all users see this

The yml has no "other" (there's the pesky pluralization problem again)

Commenting out the version again results in a normal rebuild. Is this potentially being caused by being on a higher version than the current stable release?
