Updating on the beta-channel still gives +-versions

Continuing the discussion from Pin topic broken:

Looking at this explanation, I think something is wrong with my installation. My config file specifies version: beta since a long time, and I have applied many updates since. However, I've almost always been on a version with a non-zero number of additional commits. For example, currently, I'm on v1.4.0.beta9 +88.

Am I misunderstanding the explanation, is the version display broken, or am I actually still running tests-passed?

Can we, should we, limit quoted text in a post?

I am active on a non-Discourse forum where many members will respond to a (sometimes long) post by quoting it in its entirety and then adding one line at the bottom. "I agree" and "+1" are typical responses. It's not pretty, or easy to navigate.

Clearly better member education would help. Also I suspect that the ease of quoting in replies in a Discourse forum would reduce the tendency to over-quote previous posts.

Still, I would be interested in your views on whether Discourse can - or should - restrict the length of a quote, either through an absolute character limit or via the ratio of quoted to "new" text.

Thanks

Spec: Table of Contents

@Tom_Newsom wrote:

Continuing the discussion from Is there markdown for creating a table of contents in a topic?:

Ok, I'd really like to see this happen, so here's my attempt at making a spec for it.

This feature allows the automatic creation of a table of contents for any post (although it's best suited to Wiki posts).

Details

  • To invoke the feature, add the [contents] markup to a post.
  • After cooking the markdown, the code scans the post below the [contents] markup and adds an anchor before each Header element (this allows for a preamble or top-level title to be excluded from the contents).
  • The text and anchor of those Header elements are then composed into a <ul> and inserted at the location of the [contents] markup.
  • Each sub-list should be indented by relative hierarchy, not Header size. This allows for "jumps" in Header size to produce a tidily indented list.
  • List item styling, however, is applied based on the Header level it refers to.

Examples with the list item styles H1 H2 and H3:

H1
  H2
  H2
  H2

H1
  H3
  H3
  H3

H2
  H3
  H3
  H3

H1
  H3
  H3
  H2
    H3
    H3

H1
  H2
    H3
    H3
  H2
    H3
    H3

Options

[contents min=1 max=3]

where min and max are the limits of H elements to index. I suppose it should support up to H6 given that those can be generated with HTML. 1 and 3 are the default if left unspecified.

I toyed with a style= parameter for bullets or numbers, but I think numbers will be misleading because the contents of the post are subject to change, making the numbering inconsistent over time.

Example output

Pay close attention to the numbers!

<div class="toc-wrapper">
<ul class ="toc-h1">
<li><a href="#h1-1">Header text</a></li>
<li><a href="#h1-2">Header text</a></li>
<li><a href="#h1-3">Header text</a></li>
<ul class="toc-h2">
<li><a href="#h2-1">Subheader text</a></li>
<li><a href="#h2-2">Subheader text</a></li>
<ul class="toc-h3>
<li>a href="#h3-1">Sub-subheader text</a>
<li>a href="#h3-2">Sub-subheader text</a>
<li>a href="#h3-3">Sub-subheader text</a>
</ul>
<li><a href="#h2-3">Subheader text</a></li>
</ul>
<li><a href="#h1-4">Header text</a></li>
<li><a href="#h1-3">Header text</a></li>
<ul class="toc-h3">
<li><a href="#h3-4">Sub-subheader text</a></li>
<li><a href="#h3-5">Sub-subheader text</a></li>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>

Where "h1-3" is the anchor of the third H1 element in the topic etc.

I suppose you could generate random strings if you want to reduce the chances of clashing with a user-generated Anchor somewhere else in the post.

Makes his sort of thing, only prettier because I'm just slapping this together in Paint. If I have time later, I might do a more carefully designed mockup.

Thoughts

It takes up a lot of vertical space. Maybe it could be pushed into one of the gutters at wider window sizes? Or even float over the gutter as you scroll, so you can always access it from all points in the post?

Re-sending activation links causes issues

I just recently received a question from one of my users not being able to activate has account, and I have been able to reproduce it on a new test install on version Discourse 1.4.0.beta9 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version 4c2df814de4671880d532ae6514c470d831b7009:

  1. Set email token valid hours to something short, like 1.
  2. Register a new account.
  3. Ignore the activation mail for 1 hour.
  4. Try using the link, get Sorry, this account confirmation link is no longer valid. Perhaps your account is already active?.
  5. Try to log in, get You can't log in yet. We previously sent an activation email to you at test2@fefrei.de. Please follow the instructions in that email to activate your account. Click here to send the activation email again.
  6. Click to resend the activation mail.
  7. Open the new activation mail, and click the (different) link, click Activate, get another Sorry, this account confirmation link is no longer valid. Perhaps your account is already active?.
  8. Click the Discourse logo to navigate to the main page. Surprise: You're logged in!

So it seems that step 7 is actually working (as it should), but the user is still shown the error message.

So I have it configured for Categories to be the first thing a user sees when they log in. When a user creates an account, the categories page is blank even though they have permissions and can post to these categories. Is there a way for by default a user to see all the categories they have permissions to see/post show up on their own

As you can see in the screenshot, the categories page is blank, but if I click new topic, I can post to any of the categories.

I've successfully done bulk invites for 301 in a batch, and followup additions of maybe another 20. The status numbers I am seeing (which I wish actually gave me a number for accepted/pending? am I missing this? I have to hand count rows?)

I have about 80 accepted/created, and it shows me another 40 pending. Where are all the others?

Nevermind- for some reason the first time I looked at the pending list, it was not ajax loading the remainder at the bottom. I see 244 pending.

But please, request, how about a count display on invites for pending/accepted??

Hi,

I'm wondering if it is possible to retrieve user profile custom fields in our customized header using something like this:

$.ajax("/session/current").then(function (json) {
    console.log(json.custom.user_field_4);
}

What would be the correct syntax?
Thanks!

e.g.:

would automatically redirect to (in this case) : https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-version-1-5/30609 or whatever is the latest topic in that category?
