So, I log into my discourse installation via facebook, and I noticed that after I updated my facebook primary e-mail address, this email is not updated in discourse. This is causing an issue as I no longer receive emails from discourse.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Bluepill not work properly

I don't think this is related to discourse itself, after I install discourse by hand, rather than docker, on ubuntu, it works well (in fact, my VPS is just 1GM RAM and SWAP 128M, it is not allowed to change it).

But today, I find it has some problem to start discourse, since when I try to run bulepill stop/start it gives me the folloing error:

/home/discourse/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/gems/bluepill-0.1.1/lib/bluepill/system.rb:23:in `kill': no implicit conversion of false into Integer (TypeError)

The error raise up still after I try to update/reintall bluepill and all gems.

Any one can help me?

Could Discourse be self-aware of the load on system resources?

If an instance was beginning to slow or be overloaded by users, could Discourse begin closing connections?
First anonymous users not active for say 30 minutes.
Then 15 minutes - 10 - 5 ... then make the forum viewable by members only if the server was really busy?
In a nutshell. Prioritising server resources in favour of active/logged in users.

Is this a bug? or is there a technical limitation for this?

When I first load a topic, we noticed that it does not render the body class from the forum it belongs to, until we do a hard refresh. Has anyone else noticed this?

body class="docked archetype-regular"

After refresh...
body class="category-entretenimiento-chismesgordos docked"

Good morning, we have a request here for a text input on polls. I've advised them to ask people to reply but having it inline has become a desire for some of our forum users. Perhaps an inline field that adds a reply or some such?

Also, is there any way to track who responded to which Poll option? Something in the Admin area?

I'd like to have several groups that are automatically populated with accounts older than N days. The idea being that as user accounts age, new categories would open up to them based on the age of their account.

I can figure out how to do this with badges, but I can't grant access to categories based on badges.

Is there any way to do what I described above?

Varnish and Discourse

Hi

I recently posted about experiencing slow responses with Discourse despite us having adequate hardware and network resources. I really love Discourse and how much it helps our users, so I thought I'd update @codinghorror and @sam to let them know about the issues.

One of our guys (@marktheis managed to pinpoint the issue). Discourse is apparently getting 500s from 'message-bus'. My webdev knowledge is quite limited, but I did some digging. It seems Discourse implements its own publish/subscribe mechanism rather than using WebSockets. I can understand WebSockets are problematic. My patches to Varnish fixed an issue we had with them (as we use Libreboard internally), but it never occurred to me that Discourse would have its own implementation.

Unfortunately, Varnish 4.x is not respecting the fact that POST is not idempotent (at least here it is not respecting that). By default, it will reorder and cache any POSTs... The reason Discourse was working at all, seems to be due to the fact that your mechanism implements a retry method. This consumes a very large amount of sockets for us -- I can see it from the kernel in dmesg, but heck, it worked, and that probably is an improvement over WebSockets.

With that said -- my understanding is Sam's custom implementation exists because WebSocket's 'edge' cases aren't often edge cases at all. I think running Discourse behind a load balancer isn't either, and under Varnish certainly isn't. Varnish 4.0 is default in Jessie and Ubuntu 15.04. If you are to use Varnish, here is what I did to fix things:

if (req.http.host ~ "discourse.osmc.tv") {
        set req.backend_hint = discourse;
        return (pass);
}

I'll be refining it so we only pass on cache hits for message bus in the future. But I must ask, is this forum (meta) running under a load balancer? Can you describe your stack for this? I'd like to be on a stack that is not so susceptible to breakage!

Cheers, and apologies guys, as Discourse remains robust as ever, but I seem to find ways to break it (be it using Pound, or Varnish!).

Ways to post confidential info for moderator eyes only?

$

@Becky_Herndon wrote:

We're moving a development community to Discourse and there's one critical feature we're losing from the old forum software. We had "confidential" tags where a user could hide sensitive information in the post for moderator eyes only. It was like the Spoilers tag, but only moderators would see the content inside.

The confidential feature is used for posting game exploit repro steps, and sometimes private contact info like their Skype name. This is a high quality community but the exploit steps could be catastrophic in the wrong hands.

The benefit of the confidential tag is that any moderator can see and react to the post quickly and sound a company-wide alert, vs. a PM system or ticketing system where the specific recipients need to be online at the time to see the report.

I poked around with our Discourse forum settings and I'm stymied how to replicate this functionality. The best I've found so far was hiding exploit reports in post edits that only admins (but not moderators) can see.

Is there a plugin already for posting content that only moderators and the poster could see? Is it hard to make a plugin like this? Is there a better way to mimic this functionality?

Hi everyone, I run a small company and I'm looking to add a community forum to my site. The existing site uses Cratejoy to generate customer profiles and data and I'd want to have SSO between it and the forum. I'll also be adding a Wordpress blog soon and will want to integrate the blog and forum with each other.

I'm looking to hire someone for the nuts and bolts but also to discuss strategy and bigger picture goals and plans in the process, to make sure we're laying a solid foundation for eventually building a very large and active online community.

If you like, feel free to email me directly at brian@gameboxmonthly.com. Thanks!

Reserved usernames ignored by invites

@AndyCoates wrote:

Hi,

We've just had a user signup via invite and the auto-username generation Discourse does seems to have ignored the reserved usernames setting, i.e. reserve list contains foobar but foobar@domain.com was invited and the username defaulted to foobar. To verify I invited myself with an admin@ email and indeed even the default reserved usernames are affected too.

Sidekiq / Email digests: MissingTranslationData in stable (1.3.2)

The forum is using the fr locale by default, and runs the latest stable version (1.3.2).

I dug through the code, and the offending blocks seems odd:

In user_notifications.rb

def short_date(dt)
    I18n.l(dt, format: :short)
  rescue I18n::MissingTranslationData
    I18n.l(dt, format: :short, locale: 'en')
  end

I'm no Ruby expert, and had trouble making sense of what I saw going deep into the rabbit hole of the ActiveSupport gem. Still, this part of the config/locales/server.en.yml file means that the fallback should work, at least:

  datetime: &datetime
    month_names:
      [~, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December]
    formats:
      short: "%m-%d-%Y"
      short_no_year: "%B %-d"
      date_only: "%B %-d, %Y"
  date:
    <<: *datetime
  time:
    <<: *datetime

What is going wrong? I don't get it.
