We are starting our forum discussions in October though want people to be able to see the 5 we have scheduled. Right now we are sending people to our Category page, as that seems to be the only place where people can see all of these given we do not have sub-topic forum discussions scheduled yet. Is there a way we can have some pinned message on the top of this page?

Thank you; I am still learning the admin function, and really appreciate this vibrant community!

Remove "discussion started!"message when a Private forum

Where a Discourse forum is configured as private but does have substantial private threads the message "Let's get this discussion started! There are currently 2 / 5 topics and 0 / 30 posts. New visitors need some conversations to read and respond to." remains active.

Can this be automatically removed when 5+ topics and 30+ do exist in a Private forum?

Custom header with dropdown navigation

$

@neil wrote:

I recently made a dropdown navigation menu for Envato's new forums, so I'll share some code to implement something similar on your own site.


We'll be implementing a black header with one link that reveals a menu of more links, like this:

In Admin > Customize > CSS/HTML, create a new customization. Remember that you can have multiple customizations active at the same time, so it's a good idea to use many of them instead of one giant one for everything. For this custom header, create a new customization called "Header Nav".

To implement this sample nav, we need some CSS, HTML, and javascript to show and hide the dropdown menu.

In the CSS tab:

/********** Sticky Nav **********/

.desktop-view body #main {
  padding-top: 74px;
}

#top-navbar {
  height:60px;
  background-color:#222;
  width:100%;
  position: fixed;
  z-index: 1001;
}

.desktop-view body header.d-header {
  top: 59px;
  padding-top: 6px;
}

div#top-navbar-links {
  width:100%;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding-top: 0;
  max-width:1100px;
  margin-top: 0;
}

div#top-navbar-links a, div#top-navbar-links span {
  color:#eee;
  font-size: 14px;
}


/* js dropdown navs */
#top-external-nav {
  float: right;
  margin-top: 12px;
  position: relative;

  list-style: none;

  li.top-ext--main {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 10px;
    > a, > a:visited, > a:active {
      display: inline-block;
      padding: 6px 10px;
      font-size: 14px;
      color: #999999;
      &:hover {
        background-color: black;
      }
    }
  }

  #top-discourse-link a.top-discourse-link-main {
    padding: 6px 10px 20px 10px;
  }

  ul.top-ext--sub {
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    top: 40px;
    left: 0;
    margin-left: 0;
    background-color: white;
    box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0, .5);
    list-style: none;

    li.top-ext--sub-item {
      float: none;
      padding: 0;
      margin: 0;
      background-color: white;
      a, a:visited {
        display: inline-block;
        width: 190px;
        padding: 8px 10px;
        span {
          font-size: 14px;
          color: #666;
        }

        img {
          width: 20px;
          margin-right: 6px;
        }
      }

      &:hover {
        background-color: #eef;
      }
    }
  }
}

In the Header tab, we add the HTML with our navigation links:

<div id="top-navbar">
  <div id="top-navbar-links">
    <ul id="top-external-nav">
      <li class="top-ext--main" id="top-discourse-link">
        <a class="top-ext--link top-discourse-link-main" href="http://www.discourse.org/">Discourse</a>
        <ul class="top-ext--sub" id="top-discourse-sub">
          <li class="top-ext--sub-item">
            <a class="top-ext--link" href="https://meta.discourse.org" target="blank">
              <span>Meta</span>
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="top-ext--sub-item">
            <a class="top-ext--link" href="http://try.discourse.org/" target="blank">
              <span>Try</span>
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="top-ext--sub-item">
            <a class="top-ext--link" href="https://www.discourse.org/faq/" target="blank">
              <span>FAQ</span>
            </a>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </li>

      <li class="top-ext--main">
        <a class="top-ext--link" href="http://blog.discourse.org/" target="blank">Blog</a>
      </li>

      <li class="top-ext--main">
        <a class="top-ext--link" href="https://payments.discourse.org/buy/" target="blank">Buy It</a>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>

Finally, in the </body> tab, we add the javascript to get the dropdown menu to appear and disappear:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
  var $topDiscourseSub = $('#top-discourse-sub');
  $('#top-discourse-link').hover(function() {
    $topDiscourseSub.show();
  }, function() {
    $topDiscourseSub.hide();
  });
});
</script>

Check the "enabled" checkbox and Save it. View the site in another tab to see it in action!

Customize the "reply to" address in new private message notification emails

@Adrian_D_Atri_Guiran wrote:

Hey,

I've got a crazy old userbase. Most of my users are 45 - 65+ years old. A lot of them aren't super technically inclined. And one thing i keep seeing them do is click "Reply" in their email client to reply to a private message notification. Despite the fact that i have put the reply to email as: no-reply@.. and the name as Do Not Reply. They still do it.

So i was thinking, perhaps instead of fighting it, i could just make it easier for them. Would it be possible to make the reply to email auto populate with the private message sender's email address? At least this way the email responses go to the right place instead of a dark pit.

My discourse: https://forum.bid13.com

Thanks!

A case for downvotes and different ordering of replies

@Fabio_Machado_de_Oli wrote:

I am really bending Discourse for a very different use case, but I want to show how these features would be useful for what I am doing.

My website lists games crawled from the play store, using whatever I could think to filter it (because the play store doesn't let me filter out games without in app purchases, so I did my own filtering). A downvote feature here would allow users to let me select the good stuff out of this list (if I manage to attract more users).

And I am using replies for each game instead of topics, because I can have screenshots in replies, and view the images all at once. So, reordering the replies with something like the "Top" ordering that exists for topics would be great.

So, what I want is pretty similar to that 9gag clone request, but with different reasoning, and no money for funding. Any suggestion of opensource software that would be more appropriate for it is welcome.

Hello,

Is there a way to set the dates for start and end of the year that is used to display users and is also related to "Quarters"?

It seems that it is set to Sept 18 by default:

I would find it useful if it would be possible to align it e.g. with your fiscal year for reporting purposes, but I am not able to find a way how to change this.

Preview the 2016 Emoji One smileys... We value feedback. :)

Discourse was the first to adopt us even before Emoji One officially launched. I thank and value Jeff and the Discourse community for that!

I wanted to share with you guys the latest smiley designs, which we finished TODAY. They follow unicode standards, so not all of them will match up with Apple (although most will). The style is flat, much like our 2014 renditions, and purposed to look sharp when scaled down.

I'm going to work my face off to earn our way back as the official discourse.org emoji set. We live and breathe these little guys, and won't stop improving them until ... well probably never actually. Our 2016 collection will be available to developers hopefully in November (of this year).

There are over 1,000 other emoji we'll be releasing alongside these. You can preview some of the others at our new Instagram. Let me know your thoughts. :smile:

Inconsistency in admin menu

@gzoritchak wrote:

We find

admin/settings/email and
admin/email/settings

Even if "admin/email/settings" are some kind of hard settings defined during the Discourse install, there are settings. Moreover it would be more consistent to see the sending settings near the polling settings.

Lastly, it would make the admin/email views more cohesive (like admin/users) showing only operational views and not a mix of settings and operational.

Some questions regarding to pop polling, wildcards and MX

$

@terraboss wrote:

Hi guys,
I'd like to support pop polling for my communities.

The problem is, that we don't actually run and maintain our own MX. We're using the MX infrastructure of our webhosters and Google Apps (free subscription). Our webhosters aren't providing any wildcard support for answering keys. And Google won't be my first choice for privacy concerns.

Mandrill has some kind of inbound support but their service isn't compatible with Discourse for any reason.

What are you guys suggesting me?
How are you dealing with pop polling?

I don't wanna run and maintain my own MX infrastructure. But I also don't like to pay monthly fees just for receiving mails. Amazon AWS would be fine, but as far as I know, that's not their business. SES supports outbound, Amazon Work Mail doesn't fit to my use case.

@codinghorror: Is there any way to use the answer key inside the message (maybe hidden into the html code) and bypass the wildcard requirement for spam protection?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Steps:

  1. Created poll
  2. Selected first option
  3. Edited first option, saved post, my selection was no longer green/highlighted
  4. Selected option 1 again, shows 200% and the bar extends too far

edit: as more people have voted, it has fallen from 200%, but my extra vote is still making things off.
