Are only views from registered users counted?

I tried opening a newly created topic from my mobile phone that is not connected through wifi used by the topic creator. I then waited for a few minutes and updated the topics list, but the counter did not increase.

Now the question arises, what is considered a view that increases a counter?

Text missing following code

@burke wrote:

I was including some text in the last item of a bulleted list and discovered that the text following the code wasn't rendered by Discourse.
 


Markdown:

* Item 1
* Item 2
    ```javascript
    console.debug("Hello world!");
    ```
    This is hidden

Rendered:

  • Item 1
  • Item 2

    console.debug("Hello world!");

I was expecting that indenting the last line ("This is hidden") with 4 spaces would allow me to continue the bulleted item with text following the code. While I could surely be doing this wrong, it seemed like a bug that the text was actually omitted (hidden) within my post.

If the code doesn't happen to be the last item in the bulletted list, it behaves slightly differently. The text following the code isn't hidden and the code is no longer syntax-hlighted as expected:
 


Markdown:

* Item 1
* Item 2
    ```javascript
    console.debug("Hello world!");
    ```
    This is not hidden
* Item 3

Rendered:

  • Item 1
  • Item 2
    javascript
    console.debug("Hello world!");

    This is not hidden
  • Item 3

That makes me think I just don't know how to properly embed code within a bulletted list.

Any thoughts? Am I doing this wrong, is there a bug, or is this not yet a feature of Discourse?

Thanks!

Whisper generates email notification to original user?

When testing the new 'whispers' feature, my user (who is not on the staff) received an email notification with my message. There are two people involved here:

  • James - a team member who is Staff
  • Abby - a forum user who is not Staff.

Here's my whisper to James:

And this is the reply Abby sent me:

I just got a forum notification and your whispers comment was in it. Looks like it doesn't appear in the forum but does get tacked onto emails. Thought you should know. :smile:

This shouldn't happen, right?

Plugin for validating custom user fields

We have added a custom user field in our instance of Discourse that we have required on registration. We would like to validate this field against an external server using a REST api.

First I would like to know how we should hook into this process, either upon registration or editing this custom user field. Something like an OnFieldChange hook/event/thing.

Upon validation of this field, we want to adjust their trust level accordingly. I have searched around and haven't seen a plugin that performs a similar task. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Modified footer css

Trying to invite a specific user and cannot

I'm having an interesting problem. Yesterday I did bulk invite by uploading a CSV file. Afterwards, I got a message that it had succeeded except for one entry:

Error inviting 'msimpson@onetwothreefakestreet.net' -- Validation failed: Email is not allowed.

(in which I've put a fake name and domain for the purposes of this post.)

I looked in the list of users and the address did not already belong to a user, and the address was also not present in the Suspended, Blocked, and Suspect users lists.

So I tried to invite him manually and I get this response:

Sorry, we couldn't invite that person. Perhaps they have already been invited? (Invites are rate limited)

I waited overnight and tried again to see if the rate-limiting was stopping me, but I just get that message again.

Anything I can do to let the poor guy get an account short of telling him to get a different email address?

Thanks...

Get category color to use in CSS

Hi there, I really like the color coding for the categories on /categories, but these colors are only sparsely used on the category page itself. Is there a way to retrieve the color of the active category to use in css? I would like to give each category a more distinctive look. Thanks!

I'm using Discourse as a platform for online instruction. It would be helpful if I could get data that showed the activity stats available at /admin/users/list/active for the last X days. Is there an easy way to get that?

If I could get a dump of [Topics Viewed, Posts Read, Read Time] for all users that'd be great.

Registration Limit from IP Address

My users are getting the following when they try to signup:

"New registrations are not allowed from your IP address (maximum limit reached). Contact a staff member."

I didn't set a limit that I know of, so not sure why this is happening. We are all at the same three IP address because the forum is for a company intranet.

Old domain stealing google ranking

Hi,

My Digital Ocean server was previously owned by a hockey team and their domain is still pointing to the DNS.

Basically, Google is ranking their domain as my site and my site isn't getting as good of ranking.

How can I prevent this site from mirroring my Discourse?

Best way to link to an 'in-category' search?

$

@bartv wrote:

Hi,

We'd like to help our users search in our support forum by including a link or search field in a sticky message. I've tried using a link that contains the 'category:' filter, like:

http://forum.sketchfab.com/search?q=category%3Asupport

While this works, it also leaves the text 'category:support' in the search box and we feel like this may be confusing (many users may just delete that text and enter their query) :

Is there a way around this? Or even better, is there a way that we can embed the search field directly into a post?

Thanks!

Showing the first {{count}} invites - needs pluralization

Needs Approved Reject doesn't Unblock or associated the rejected post with the user

@cpradio wrote:

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but when a post needs to be approved, and I opt to reject it (as it doesn't really fit the type of content we want), it leaves the user as blocked and the rejected post is not associated to the user anymore (likely related to the deleted posts not being associated to the user -- so this part may be fixed in a later commit).

We are running
Discourse 1.5.0.beta1 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version 4d78a7b1d5129998015b8582cbbae34b4e4bc8ca

Is anyone else running into this?

Edit: Based on reviewing the commit for fixing deleted user action associations, it seems we have that fix in our version, but it doesn't work when rejecting a post that needs to be approved.

There has never been the "quote reply" in older versions of Discourse?
Sincerly I don't remember...
Some of our users says yes and now (1.5.0.beta1) they didn't see this function on smartphone.

Is it possible restore or add the "quote reply" in some way?

Converting categories to tags

I recently converted phpbb forum to discourse. Now I have some cleanup to do. Mainly I have two things to do:
- I want to convert some categories in tags
- some categories may need to be merged in the process

Is there a simple way to do this? At least select all topics in a category would help a lot (I couldn't find a button). Then I can use bulk tools to edit topics.

Why no SPDY enabled?

Hi guys,

When browsing on mobile, and looking for emojis, I noticed that SPDY isn't enabled.

Since you guys already use Nginx & HTTPS it's just one line, and after next Nginx update it becomes HTTP2.

Is it because CDN doesn't play along well?

- Oranges :tangerine:
- Pears :pear:
