We have been plagued with problems related to our scheduler sidetiq.
In particular we have had a few major recurring issues related to high CPU
We have been working to address them upstream, however even once addressed there are some design issues that we need fixed as well.
Recently, I was debugging erratic perf issue with @supermathie here and found a second serious issue.
Sidetiq always schedules every job at exactly the same time, this leads to periods where the same job on every site we host runs at the same time leading to network saturation.
I have been building a light weight scheduler to address the perf and scheduling issues. I expect to have it done today.
So, this is just an upfront warning that the scheduler is changing, if you notice any new issues with scheduled jobs please let me know.

I am also trying to find a Discourse consultant. Actually, I am looking to build a list of specialists. I work for a small consulting firm in Palo Alto, CA. We specialize in developer relations. I often get approached by companies that want help with building a community.
As part of the solution, I am looking for people that can build the web site, possibly on AWS or HP Cloud, possibly using wordpress, with a blog and forum. The comments on the blog should be handled by discourse.
One possible client is a hardware hacking user group that showcases a hack of the week on the front of the site, an application gallery and a forum.
Please send me information on your background and rates if this type of work is interesting.

People are wondering, how it is they can help out with Discourse.
We have seen some chattering both here and on Github.
I wanted to create a topic @eviltrout , @codinghorror and myself can keep up to date with clear ideas of little projects that would immensely help Discourse.
Ruby projects
- Improve performance of the topic list page, or topic page
- Implement more oneboxes (mp3, music from external sources)
- Code climate 4.0, we would like to increase our code climate score cause it strongly indicates to less understandable areas of our code, clearer code is a huge win https://codeclimate.com/github/discourse/discourse
- Help build up the Discourse API gem https://github.com/discourse/discourse_api
JavaScript projects
- Add more unit tests for our JavaScript (especially the admin section)
- Refactor our js so its more readable post CoffeeScript migration
- Add more documentation to our Javascript using YUIDoc
- Improve rendering performance
- Markdown help http://meta.discourse.org/t/add-a-link-to-markdown-syntax-in-posts/8791
Mixed projects
- Work on a Poll plugin, please consult with us first
- Share a link to this post dialog should provide a short link option via goo.gl API
- Editable onebox whitelist (including admin section) currently list of whitelisted urls for oneboxes are hardcoded, some forums may want to amend this.
- Allow logged on users to associate additional login methods (eg: login with google, then add twitter)
CSS projects
- CSS diet, see what can be done to cut down on the css rules we have and make it easier to theme Discourse, add classed where needed, eliminate very deep selectors
General stuff:
Fix your favorite bug listed either here: http://meta.discourse.org/category/bug or on Github
If you feel like working on any of the bigger bits, be sure to let us know by replying here. If you want us to add some stuff to the list let us know.

Also, maybe add to the error message since the page could exist and you may not have been deleted, but you just need to login to view the page because it's a private category. Since this page does not seem to be served via Ember, we can't just override it and customize as needed.

I don't have the "Raleway" font, so it's falling back to Arial, which makes a few things look weird. Can you pick a batter 2nd font?

The first paragraph seems to be talking about forums but saying 'forum software'. I don't believe that software is a group of people.
To us, forum software is a group of people interested in a common topic who are willing to type paragraphs to each other on a web page.
The text after this feels like it lacks a point that it's supposed to be trying to make. I think it needs a rewrite (not that I'd be any help with that).
Right now when you install a brand new forum, what you get is a virtual tin shack in a wasteland. It's up to you to build up civilization from scratch every single time. ...
It's like: "Most of them fail, making ghost towns. But with better software, we can make...uhhhh.... better ghost towns?". As the team themselves have said, the success of a forum largely depends on the community, and it's a shame that people have been stuck with the old crappy forum software. Anyway, that part needs a rewrite.
http://www.discourse.org/faq/
I see that the FAQ was updated sometime recently, and it looks good. No suggestions or complaints from me at the moment.

Hi,
I'd like to request a more refined algorithm for updating and pulling users back to the site for conversations.
What I'd like to see is a customizable algorithm for how the software manages updates emailed to visitors of the forums. Specifically I'm thinking something that includes factors like:
An aging timer that automatically sends email updates to users on the conversations on the site (with a weighted bias towards the forum/category that the person spends the most time reading). My thinking here is that you don't just want a dumb email system that sends people a standard email out to everyone who hasn't logged in during the past week. What you really want is something that sends an email out after one week of the 20 most liked (hearted) topics from the most Liked users that week - 80% of which are the topic from the category that the person visits most. Then because you don't spam the users - if the user doesn't log in again the next week - you wait an additional week, , etc. - so that the time interval increases as the user decreases their login frequency - so you don't have the likelihood that you're pissing someone off by spamming them too much.
It would be nice if the email updates that go out were easily customizable by non-CSS/hmtl handcoding so that we could easily include things like a "forward to friend", or other approaches that encourage word of mouth email sharing of the Discourse email updates.
See this recent study that touches on this topic:
Generally speaking, Ribeiro found that word-of-mouth growth is much better for a site’s long-term sustainability and that sites that frequently update members on new happenings also see more long-term engagement.

I only want wp-discourse to be applied to my new posts, i.e. the ones created after I installed the plugin. Is that possible? Or maybe my "older posts" were too recent (they were created just before I set up the plugin), still...
On a related note, what happens if you don't tick "Publish all new posts to Discourse"? Seems to me like you currently don't have a choice between all or nothing. Is it possible to publish posts to Discourse individually?Yes you can, by ticking "Publish to Discourse" right above the Publish/Update button in the WP panel.

I kept losing my draft, so I need to keep saving my draft posts. For long posts there will be many edits, and I don't want this unnecessary information to show up in the edit history. So I create a hidden post, and once I'm done, copy paste the post to a new visible topic.
I read about orphaned uploaded files and the clean up. Are images (which is being used in the new post) created in the draft posts considered orphans if the original posts are deleted?

I was just testing the invite-friend functionality, so I sent out an invitation, accepted it and logged in as a new user in a new window. Coming back to my original window, I saw this:
Which was very confusing, because apparently what has happened here is that Discourse has logged me out and back in again as a new user, but not only has it not told me that this just happened, but my avatar hasn't changed (and I had to hover over those buttons to make the icon show properly instead of just a square box as well).
I think it would be better to do something like a "It seems you were logged out. Please refresh this page" prompt or something of the sort.

I'm trying to embed a 3rd party chat system into my site via an iframe, but I suspect there is sanitization taking place on the html I'm putting in to the content areas.
In "Top of pages" (/admin/site_contents/top), I have:
<div id="chatframe"></div>And in the "HTML Head" (/admin/site_contents/head), I have:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
if (Discourse.User.currentProp != '') {
document.getElementById('chatframe').innerHTML = '<iframe src="http://static.example.org/embed.html?userid=' + Discourse.User.currentProp("username") + ' seamless width=1024 height=400></iframe>';
}
});
</script>I can put any text in the innerHTML and it renders, but as soon as I put in the iframe, nothing renders.
Surely these fields shouldn't be sanitized like this, as one would expect the site admin to be aware of what they are doing.

A word of warning
This is the "I have no idea what I'm doing; I'm just pushing buttons until the lights are on" edition. My distro of choice is Fedora, and I wanted to play with Discourse, so I tried getting it to work on my own machine for checking it out. This is
probablydefinitely not how you would set Discourse up to actually run a public instance on Fedora or other RedHat-ish distros like CentOS, unless you feel like getting pwned.I have never in my life used Postgres nor Ruby, so whatever I'm doing here is probably the opposite of what you should be doing. But I did manage to get a Discourse homepage at
localhost:3000, so if that's all you care about, read on.That said
This is a pretty fresh install of Fedora 18, so chances are that I caught the necessary packages for running discourse. Here they are:
yum install ruby rubygem-bundler postgresql redis postgresql-server pgadmin3 ruby-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libpqxx-devel postgresql-contribRun
postgresql-setup initdb, then edit/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf, replacing "ident" with "trust" for the127.0.0.1/32and::1/128entries.Next,
service postgresql startandservice redis start.From this point on, you don't need elevated privileges anymore.
Run pgAdmin III (just type "pgad" on the activities screen). File -> Add Server. Enter "localhost" for Host (and for Name, I guess), and click Ok. The server should now be in the list on the left. Expand, right click "Databases" -> New Database. The Database name is
discourse_development. The same way, add a database nameddiscourse_test.Now right click "login roles", then "New login role". Enter your user id as the role's name, and on the "privileges" tab choose "superuser" (yeah, that sounds like something your local DB admin is going to chastise you for. Do not blame me.), then "Ok". Do the same thing with the name "vagrant".
Now you can continue from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/DEVELOPER-ADVANCED.md, starting with step 6 in "First Steps" (you don't have to make any changes to the files in step 6; just copy them).

I sent a private message to 3 users today with a few comments and a link to a topic on the same discourse instance.
They all got the message but with a twist: in the notification email they got, the URL I included is shown as http (which would be correct) but the actual href is https (which is incorrect, in fact it doesn't work), like so:
http://forum.blablalba.com/blablabla
The same link in the private message on the site is all correct so it's only in the email notification HTML that there is a problem
I upgraded to master a couple of days ago

I have been working on a heavily simplified plugin interface so its a lot easier for people to get started with extending Discourse.
For example:
Say you wanted to extend Discourse and add Ubuntu SSO to the dialog.
Place a file called
plugin.rbin the directoryplugins/ubuntu_sso###plugins/ubuntu_sso/plugin.rb
# name: discourse-ubuntu # about: ubuntu login support for Discourse # version: 0.1 # authors: Sam Saffron, Marco Ceppi auth_provider :title => 'with Ubuntu', :authenticator => Auth::OpenIdAuthenticator.new('ubuntu','https://login.ubuntu.com', trusted: true), :message => 'Authenticating with Ubuntu (make sure pop up blockers are not enbaled)', :frame_width => 1000, # the frame size used for the pop up window, overrides default :frame_height => 800 register_css <<CSS .btn-social.ubuntu { background: #dd4814; } .btn-social.ubuntu:before { font-family: Ubuntu; content: "U"; } CSSRun
bundle exec rake assets:precompile
Restart you services.Done, you have working Ubuntu SSO.
This interface is still not complete, as I finalize it I will be adding more examples here.
The
/pluginsdirectory is ignored by git so you can place your extensions there safely.Longer term plans
- Possibly use a Rails::Engine for greater flexibility
- More hooks
- Admin UI to enable or disable plugins (with multisite support)
- Central plugin repo
- External gem dependencies
If you are interested in extending the interface etc, let me know.

I am trying to edit this string in client.en.yml 'Unfortunately, your browser is too old to work on this Discourse forum. Please upgrade your browser.' but any changes in this string are not reflected in my discourse instance. I tried editing some other values and those changes are reflected correctly. No matter what i try i cannot tailor the browser update message . I also tried cleaning up and recompiling assets multiple times and it didnt help. Any pointers ?
