Are paid plugins with undisclosed license allowed to exist on meta?

I thought'd I might contribute a perspective from a user/site builder/low level developer.

tl:dr this is about plugins, not core development Apologies if deemed a thread jack, as references to plugins came up in the discussion. Feel free to split off.

Some background: my experience with WordPress and Drupal stretch back more than a decade. I almost excessively work on not-for-profit community sites (I never touch, or fork, core).

I am building a couple Discourse sites (with and without WordPress integration at the moment (alongside a couple other WordPress and Drupal sites). With WordPress, the abundance of low quality paid plugins — and it is time consuming/can be very difficult to determine their usefulness and quality — is a challenge (I mostly write my own functions where I can). That so many of the plugins (even themes) are poor hacks is similarly an issue (very poor usability outcomes).

Drupal, which has a much steeper learning curve, does have plugins that are similar of lower quality, thought these are quickly displaced by other through a community of developers. Closed source — like the WordPress marketplace fosters — actively prevents this to a substantial level. This is not to say Drupal's approach to contributed models is without issue.

My experience with Discourse counts in months. In looking at the architecture of a community site, funding ongoing expenses came up in discussions. I searched for options and came across the PayPal plugins built by @dmitry_fedyuk — initially considering they might be an option. However the closed approach inhibits an ability to assess their quality without first paying for them. It also brought to mind the 'plugin wasteland' of WordPress and how painful it is.

I see such a model as fundamentally against what I understand/understood Discourse to be, and why I have looked at it as a (potential) solution for some community groups.

In short, crowd-contributing to/funding plugins, rather than a licensing model, is more what I was expecting-hoping for based on past experiences — and is what I thought was in the spirit of how discourse was envisaged and developed.

Watching a category by default and get mail notifications

@terraboss wrote:

I'm actually not sure, if the current behaviour shows a bug:

All users of our community are watching by default a specific category for opening hours. We're announcing them very shortly, so it's important they receive them (if they want to).

Unfortunately, creating a new thread won't push any mail to our members. They miss the opening hours except somebody is answering thread. Than, everybody get the answer to but.

Any clue how to fix this?

When is a rebuild needed, and can we speed it up?

@mark_hamstra wrote:

In trying to get SSL up and running I've been doing a fair bit of ./launcher rebuild app which takes several minutes each time, and also takes the forum offline entirely while it's running.

Is there any documentation on when a rebuild is needed, and are there any ways of speeding that up?

Finally, is there any suggested way to provide some kind of maintenance page while the rebuild is happening? We haven't launched the forum officially yet so I can rebuild whenever, but I'd rather not do these rebuilds after we've launched as there is zero feedback for users on what is happening.

Mention-Menu not updated on Android Mobile

@Kuro wrote:

usual stuff: If this has been filed already, apologies in advance!

So, this might be a local issue since I can't find anybody else complaining about this. I also don't have other devices to test this but:


The Mention-Menu pops out after the first letter and never updates. I could also have written "RaceProUK" or "pulrdator" and it would not have made a difference.
It does not change after a while. To remove the menu I have to delete the at-character or click a name

This is on
Android 4.4
Chrome - latest version from store
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo

Reproducable every time I enter an at-character. Tried on mobile internet as well as wireless connection.

Filed Under: If any additional information is missing, feel free to ask.

When do Edits in an old message trigger an update to users / Message Order

@BCHK wrote:

Sometimes when I edit older messages the message jumps to the top of the message list, other times this doesn't happen (I believe). Also - I was wondering if these edits ever result in an email to the users who have participated in that thread?

Any help in understanding how this works is greatly appreciated.

ensure_logged_in with handlebars?

@OnceWas wrote:

Based on @sam's work on the minimal topic list design I would like to show a custom menu item in the header but only to logged in users. Is this possible? Is there a way to determine if a user is logged in with handlebars?

application_controller.rb has ensure_logged_in:

def ensure_logged_in
  raise Discourse::NotLoggedIn.new unless current_user.present?
end

but I don't know how to access it, or if this is accessible via handlebars at all.

Canonical tag generated with "?page=2"?

0

@benblackmer wrote:

I'm attempting to clean up my site's SEO, and after quite a bit of searching, it looks like Discourse is generating a canonical tag that includes a search query. For example:

If you view source on that, it includes the following:

<link href="http://community.rachio.com/t/1-5-release-features/107?page=2" rel="canonical" />

I don't know where that ?page=2 query parameter is coming from.

I'd love to make it so the canonical tag stays, but that the link doesn't include the ?page=2 parameter.

Any ideas?

Shouldn't post-controls buttons use instead of ?

@Dreikin wrote:

Most1 of the buttons under the post-controls->actions section are using the i tag to place their icon, and this style is even used in one tutorial here:

Given that the bookmark button is using the div tag already, wouldn't it be appropriate to convert all such tags to use div instead of i?


1: Exceptions are the bookmarks icon and buttons with text instead of an icon.

when I send an invitation to a new user and they click on the link in the mail they end up on the login page, but they don't have credentials at this time.

So how do I add new users to my discourse ?

Not able to change email address of user

User logged in through Facebook, the account was blocked.

So tried loggin through Google Plus, but the email address was not same and thus it created duplicate account.

I have deleted duplicate account with example@email.com mail. Now I have am trying to change old_email@example.com to email@example.com mail address for older account so that the user can login to the account through google plus.

I am able to change the email but when the verification link is clicked this error comes, as if the old account still exist.

There was an error changing your email address. Perhaps the address is already in use?

I have checked in admin panel but there is no user with the email I want to use as I already deleted that account.

Restructuring the Hamburger menu

0

@codinghorror wrote:

As part of the menu redesign, we need to restructure the hamburger menu.

Some initial ideas:

  • star group admin / mod menu items together (akismet, flags, site settings)

  • star move to two columns with glyphs

  • star replicate complete topnav (latest, new, unread, etc) including counts

  • star move very rare, low value items like Keyboard Shortcuts below categories

  • perhaps have essentials like FAQ show up at the top until read at least once

  • perhaps have headings for different hamburger menu sections (or even expansions?)

For now @eviltrout will work on the starred items as a starting point. We are open to other ideas, please post a visual mockup of your idea.
