If you enter URLs in parenthesis, they don't turn into links:
like this (http://www.apple.com)like this (http://www.apple.com)
I wonder if that's a regression as I thought this was working maybe 1 or 2 months ago.

One thing that comes up time and time again is that once you start navigating in a topic stream, jumping down to later replies, jumping back up to earlier replies...
![]()
![]()
.. you lose track of where you were in the stream. You "lose your place".
But Twitter has this great new feature which lets you jump to the top with a visible button (this is an implied shortcut on iOS, which has the "tap to jump to top" feature, but Android does not and getting to the top after scrolling down a lot is excruciating, or at least it was until this feature was introduced)
So what if, when you jumped in a topic, we kept track of your previous scroll position before you jumped and showed it above the progress bar like so:
![]()
Now, in this case "back" could be up or down, but it's the place you were before you jumped.
(There is a far more complex discussion we could have about what "where I was" actually means, but I want to keep it simple, meaning your last position before you jumped anywhere. Jumping over and over does not change your original position you started from. Each jump does not track the previous jump position, only the original, first place you started before jumping at all.)

The «Real Name» plugin improves real user names support for Discourse.
The original post about plugin (4 weeks ago).
The plugin page with detailed description on discourse.pro: https://discourse.pro/t/topic/27Today the version 2.0 is out with support for the official Accepted Answer (Solved) plugin!
So you can see the real user name instead of "username" in the accepted answer block.
A live demo is here: https://discourse.pro/t/topic/37See also my other plugins:
- PayPal «Buy Now» plugin: monetize your Discourse forum (Updated to version 2.0!)
- «Image Gallery» plugin: working and supported!
- «Restrict Files» plugin. Sell a digital content on your Discourse forum!

Rather than this for

![]()
We should show the actual dates instead, like Product Hunt does:
![]()
That way we could drop the calendar glyph, which never looked that good anyway, and it's clearer what exactly you're looking at when you select a time range on Top or in the User Directory.
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
(of course with the down arrow glyph to indicate drop-down-y-ness, not pictured in the above mocks)
@neil can you take this, since you'll be touching the user directory soon, which has a very similar layout for time ranges?

Hi, guys! I'm looking at using Discourse for a community site and had a few questions. Hope someone can guide me with this.
Workflow from development to production
There are guides to setting up your own development environment using Vagrant, and deploying to production using Docker. What's the usual way to test your changes in development before pushing them to production? Would pushing via git work? I'm familiar with Vagrant but just started reading up on Docker, so I'm not sure.Customisations and plugins
I've read that at no point should you be customising the core files of Discourse - everything should be through plugins. Is my understanding here correct? On that note, I would assume that I should test each new Discourse update in development to ensure it doesn't break any customisations I make before updating the production version.The specific customisations I'm planning
For reference, here is a list of features that we plan to have. Are these all possible via plugins? If not, what are my alternatives?
- Wordpress blog with sign-in integrated with Discourse (I believe this already exists).
Additional user profile fields, some of which will be data pulled via YouTube/Twitch/Steam API after user has associated his profile with those accounts.
Customised search page. While the current search feature is pretty handy, we'd need a special search page that only some users can access. In terms of layout, think matchmaking sites like OkCupid, so something with filters at the top and the results paginated below. I could code this sort of page on my own, but wondering whether an additional page could work as a plugin for Discourse.
Gamification features. The Badges system sounds similar. This is something we plan to have at a later stage, but basically some way the site can provide lists of activities that a user can fulfill to earn points. Some of these activities may require admin to verify and award points (e.g. via submission).
I'd really like to use Discourse (it looks pretty slick!) but need some assurance that I won't end up hitting a brick wall trying to implement some of the features I've mentioned.
Thanks in advance!

So, I have people created their "personal pages" in Discourse.
I have also created their personal pages in WordPress.I now would like to let the topics found in Discourse become the "discussion topics" for the corresponding existing posts in WordPress.
Is it possible to do in GUI without touching database(s) manually?

To serve Discourse from a subfolder (a.k.a. with a path prefix) on your domain, like http://www.example.com/forum, here's how to do it!
Docker config
In the
envsection of your docker container yml file, add theDISCOURSE_RELATIVE_URL_ROOTsetting with the subfolder you want to use.env: ... DISCOURSE_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT: /forumThe
runsection needs some changes to send all Discourse routes to the right place. Here is a complete run section with subfolder support:run: - exec: cd: $home cmd: - mkdir -p public/forum - cd public/forum && ln -s ../uploads && ln -s ../backups - rm public/uploads - rm public/backups - replace: global: true filename: /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf from: proxy_pass http://discourse; to: | rewrite ^/(.*)$ /forum/$1 break; proxy_pass http://discourse; - replace: filename: /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf from: etag off; to: | etag off; location /forum { rewrite ^/forum/?(.*)$ /$1; } - replace: filename: /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf from: $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for to: $http_fastly_client_ip global: trueAfter making these changes, bootstrap your Docker container as usual, or rebuild if you're changing an existing container.
./launcher bootstrap appor
./launcher rebuild appAttached is a complete example yml file of a standalone container.

Hi there
I am battling to figure out SSO, it seems like there are different ways that one can implement SSO, but whatever I do seems to break something.
This is my set up:
- Wordpress multisite (not blog farm, all subsites of main site)
- Discourse hosted plan
- Currently using plugin WP Multisite SSO to manage SSO to network
- Login from any of the sites (including subsites) logs in to the entire network
- Installed WP Discourse plugin.
What I am trying to achieve:
- Add discourse as a site on the network with the following implications,
- Log in from any of the sites also seamlessly logs in to discourse and viceversa
My questions are the following.
- Is my desired setup possible or are the SSO plugins clashing ( I could also use WP Multisite User Management)
- What do I enter on WP side and Discourse side, specifically do I enable 'enable sso provider' and what is my sso url - a) mysite.com/discourse/sso or b) discourse.mysite.com.
- If a) do I need to create a template and if so how (no template shows up currently)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
Jason

Hi,
Is there anyway to manipulate the search box content like so:![]()
... adding a link on top of the search box.
I tried doing this:Discourse.ApplicationRoute.on('activate', function(){
$('#search-dropdown').prepend("Search mainsite.com");
});but seems like $('#search-dropdown') is not loaded until the search button is clicked.
Thanks much in advance!

Let's say you have a WordPress blog on http://www.example.com, and you want to serve your Discourse forums from http://www.example.com/forum. How do you do that?
You're going to need to send all traffic for the domain to one place that can route traffic to the correct server. In this how-to, I'll use Fastly. So, Discourse will be running on one server, and the other parts of your site (like WordPress) will run on one or more other servers.
Docker container changes
First, follow the instructions here to serve Discourse from a subfolder.
Fastly
Now to setup Fastly to send traffic to the right place based on the path. I'll assume that Discourse is being served from
/forum.Create a new service pointing to your main website and follow the instructions for updating your DNS settings.
![]()
Go to the service and click "Configure". Make sure you have selected Version 2 so that you can make changes. Version 1 is the currently active version and can't be changed.
In the "Hosts" section, add your Discourse server as a second backend.
In the Settings tab, add a new entry under Request Settings named "Discourse Pass" with action "Pass".
Finally, for each host edit the conditions to specify where to route traffic.
![]()
For your main website, non-Discourse URLs should match.
req.url !~ "^/forum"For the Discourse host,
/forumURLs should match.req.url ~ "^/forum"

Building a plugin in Discourse can be really simple, once you learn a couple of quirks. The goal of this post is to create a skeleton plugin and introduce you to the basics.
Your development environment
Make sure you have a development environment of Discourse running on your computer. I recommend you use this setup guide and come back when you're done.
plugin.rb
When Discourse starts up, it looks in the
pluginsdirectory for subdirectories containing aplugin.rbfile. Theplugin.rbfile has two purposes: it is the manifest for your plugin with the required information about your plugin including: its name, contact information and a description. The second purpose is to initialize any ruby code necessary to run your plugin.In our case, we won't be adding any ruby code but we still need the
plugin.rb. Let's create the directorybasic-pluginwith the fileplugin.rbinside it, with the following contents:basic-plugin/plugin.rb
# name: basic-plugin # about: A super simple plugin to demonstrate how plugins work # version: 0.0.1 # authors: Awesome Plugin DeveloperOnce you've created this file, you should restart your rails server and the plugin should be loaded.
An important Gotcha!
If you're used to regular rails development you might notice that plugins aren't quite as nice when it comes to reloading. In general, when you make changes to your plugin, you should Ctrl+c the server to stop it running, then run it again using
bundle exec rails server.My changes weren't picked up!
![warning]( ":warning:")
Sometimes the cache isn't cleared fully, especially when you create new files or delete old files. To get around this issue, remove your
tmpfolder and start rails again. On a mac you can do it in one command:rm -rf tmp; bundle exec rails s.Checking that your plugin was loaded
Once you've restarted your rails server, visit the url
/admin/plugins(make sure you're logged in as an admin account first, as only admins can see the plugin registry).If everything worked, you should see your plugin in the list:
Congratulations, you just created your first plugin!
Let's add some Javascript
Right now your plugin doesn't do anything. Let's add a javascript file that will pop up an alert box when discourse loads. This will be super annoying to any user and is not recommended as an actual plugin, but will show how to insert Javascript into our running application.
Create the following file:
plugins/basic-plugin/assets/javascripts/discourse/initializers/alert.js.es6
export default { name: 'alert', initialize() { alert('alert boxes are annoying!'); } };Now if you restart your rails server, you should see "alert boxes are annoying!" appear on the screen. Let's step through how this worked:
Javascript files placed in
assets/javascripts/discourse/initializersare executed automatically when the Discourse application loads up.This particular file
exports one object, which has anameand aninitializefunction.The
namehas to be unique, so I just called italert.The
initialize()function is called when the application loads. In our case, all it does is execute ouralert()code.You're now an official Discourse plugin developer!
Where to go from here
I plan on writing more guides that get more complex, but until then I suggest looking through some of our plugins in the discourse github repo.

Hi! I'm having a tough time with my local discourse install. I have it running and passing all tests after local install on OS X. It is the current version of discourse on git. I think I am missing something obvious, but when I log on my admin account and attempt to get a badge by liking my first post, nothing happens. The badge is enabled on the admin page. What am I doing wrong?
