When adding multiple links, the Insert Hyperlink dialog shows the content of the previously added link

Steps:

  1. New posting.
  2. Insert a link via Ctrl+K.
  3. Paste some text in the text box.
  4. Close with OK.
  5. Insert another a link via Ctrl+K.

The second time the Insert Hyperlink dialog appears, it still shows the previously entered link.

I'll have to manually delete the text before pasting the new link into the text box.

Personally I would prefer to have a blank text box for every new link I insert.

Hi there.
So my own user (Admin) in my own instance is currently a basic user (TL1) according to my user profile and also according to the admin dashboard.
However, if I click "admin user", I see a button "TL3 requirements", which looks like I am close to TL3, so I am asking myself what about TL2? Is there something I am not getting here?

Because in generel, I think this kind of progress report is pretty darn cool:

Does trying to work directly with postgres database is completely insane attempt

I am mostly DBA and from time to time .NET developer.
What I want to try is to develop man-in-middle between Discourse instance and DotNetNuke user portal.
Propose for that piece of software is to sync user-groups from DNN to Discourse.
I did attach discource to DNN over SSO so I have strong reference between users at DNN and users at Discourse.
I want to send groups (roles at DNN) form DNN to Discourse.
Also I want to send user's belonging to groups from DNN to Discourse.
Since I am most comfortable doing things on db layer I did open postgres access on discource and with "PG Admin" start looking at tables.
From my perspective of view I only need three tables to work with at discourse.

public.groups
public.group_users
public.single_sign_on_records (read only)

I did start .net project using http://www.npgsql.org/ libraries for postgres .
So far things looks promising I get data from discource without problems,
also I am able to do update or insert records at discource.

Before I continue spending more time on my project,
Can you please give me any guidelines is there something that I should be extra careful.

I saw that PK at tables are Int with auto increments.
I am planing to let postgresql generating ID-s.

I did not explore yet with about encoding
Any suggestions on that ?
How I should encode my strings before I send them to discourse ?

I know that there is many pitfalls when you going to database directly avoiding all APIS and others.
But this is most comfortable way to me.

Do I need to edit any other tables if I change something at these two I already mentioned ?

I am planing to make my project open source so any suggestions is gladd.
I know that @Stackfish also using DNN as SSO provider for their Discourse if you get interesting please ping so we can share experiences and code.

I've set permission for everyone to see/answer in one category but when a registered normal user opens a topic, console shows this:

"Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)"

and logs show this

"ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (PG::UndefinedTable: ERROR: relation "group_managers" does not exist LINE 5: WHERE a.attrelid = '"group_managers"'::regcla..." as fatal error

And topics work for unregistered users and staff members.

Cannot activate new account

I installed Discourse using the launcher at https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/. I kept the configuration from samples/standalone.yml almost unchanged, except that I had to change the port 80 because there is an apache running on the host. That apache is now set up to act as reverse proxy, forwarding requests to localhost:8088, which is the port that I bound the Discourse container to.
The admin interface says I am on Discourse version https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/3eb0288adb16eae63514657b71ae9c38433a1f5c.

Stuff seems to basically work, I can create an account and create topics etc. However, activating an account does not work: Pressing the button on the confirmation page has no effect. (How did I log in to create a topic, you may wonder? I used the "Forgot Password" functionality.) This is with Firefox 42. The JS error console shows

A user on our forum said "(wow, just got a warning message because I tried to post two messages to the forum in the one day?)". He's trust level one.

I assume this is a setting, not a bug. I can't find the settings to adjust this - any idea where I should look?

Propose to allow to set a preference for a forum's front page on per-user level

As I understand, some users (especially who are novices or rare visitors) will prefer to see the Categories page by default.
Other users (especially who are frequent visitors) will prefer to see the Latest page by default.
Some users will prefer to see a particular category page by default.
I think it it important to have such option on per-user level because the Latest page is sometimes incomprehensible and strange for new visitors as they are out of context yet and they definitely will prefer to see the total forum structure at a glance.
On the other side, the Categories page is inconvenient for the most of the frequent visitors.

How to add a "home" button or something similar

Hi there, me again :wink:
My forum is now set up beautifully
However, when I'm in a specific message, and I want to go back to the main screen, I don't have a clickable anything to do that.
My logo is on the left hand side and if you click it, you'll get to the forum's main page, but it's not obvious that that's what it does (ie- people might think that by clicking that link they'll go back to my website- the forum is an added feature in the website.
Is it possible to add something like that? let's say have the word "community" appear next to the hamburger on the top right corner, and that will take my users back to the "home page" of the forum?

Any words of wisdom, oh knowledgeable and wonderful Discourse peeps?
Thanks!

In this case, we'd like to immediately notify anyone about this. Which ways exist without adding them to a specific category watchlist or group manually?

How to filter users by customized user field entries?

@terraboss wrote:

We've added three additional (important) user fields to our registration form. One of them is e.g. the real name. This field is not public and therefore not searchable. Even on our admin panel.

But we've to deal regularly with quick lookups to add/verify/remove badges.

In addition to that we've added a drop-down menu. Our new users could decide which status they have (student, teacher, hospital staff, sponsor ...). To filter this information would also be pretty nice.

I don't like to export and maintain all that data for this purpose.

Which ways exist? Will Discourse get extra search features on admin panel?

Thanks :heart:

Strange pending post

In my profile page, I just discovered the "Pending" category.

Here are 2 screenshots:

Pending

I see multiple problems:

Actually the data-time are different: April 23, 2015 8:21pm for the visible post, April 23, 2015 7:28pm for the pending post.
Which means that I posted twice the exact same post?

PS: I think that a short explanation about what "Pending" means could be helpful (if I understood well, the "pending posts" must be validated by someone else).

Private messages between users not being received

@Rebekkah_Abraham wrote:

Hi,

We are having an odd situation where one forum user sends a private message to another one, and when the recipient replies (via email, I presume), it goes to our admin inbox, not to the person who sent the message. When I as a Forum administrator check the sender's message inbox, I can see the messages. But the person who sent the message, and should have received a reply, does not see anything.

We think these are the steps the message sender took:

  1. Went onto their profile (eg. https://community.historypin.org/users/nightowlr80/activity)
  2. Hit the blue message button
  3. Sent them a message
  4. Sender did not get an email when the recipient replied
  5. Sender does not have a reply in their Forum Inbox

Anyone know what might be going on here? Is it a bug, or something in our set up?

Let me know if other additional details would help.

Example from here on Meta.

Search for the term global - results from various categories will appear, including "bug" and "discourse hub".

Search for global category:bug - relevant results are shown as expected.

Search for global category:discourse hub - no results appear.
Search for global category:'discourse hub' - no results appear.
Search for global category:"discourse hub" - 11 results appear.
Search for global category:discourse_hub - 11 results appear.

There is nothing in the search help to state double quotes or an underscore are required.
