Create-restricted category, "new topic" does not list any categories

@fbender wrote:

On a Discourse instance I support, there is a category where only employees can create new topics but other registered users can read & reply. Those regular users can visit the category and click on "New Topic", the editor appears. However, they cannot select a topic category since the category dropdown is empty, and thus they are unable to post their topic at all (neither in the category they are in, nor any other category).

When I visit e.g. the #blog category on Meta, the "New Topic" button is grayed-out and cannot be clicked ("forbidden" sign appears instead of mouse -- though no explanation text appears on why I cannot click the button). I don't know if the bug has already been fixed upstream or the category settings are different.

Category settings:

  • everyone can read & reply
  • employees can read, create & reply

System setup:

  • category-oriented, topics cannot be uncategorized
  • SSO with existing CMS, access restricted to logged-in users only
  • 2 admins and no moderators (thus only 2 employees)
  • users are auto-assigned TL1 upon first login
  • self-hosted v1.4.3 install (tracking the stable branch)

To conclude, this report is about

  1. UX issue: lack of user-visible information on why s/he cannot create a new topic and/or a visual indicator and a message that s/he is not allowed to create a new topic in this category (similar to what I see in Meta's #blog category)
  2. bug: category list may be empty / user is unable to select a topic category

Thank you & best regards!

Installing self-signed CA for Omniauth

Hi All,

I am using the excellent LDAP plugin provided at https://github.com/jonmbake/discourse-ldap-auth . This uses Omniauth for the LDAP authentication. Our Active Directory server uses a self-signed certificate for LDAPS connections, and I am not sure how to install the certificate on our Discourse server so that it's honoured. I have been provided with a crt file exported from the Active Directory server.

Any help would be appreciated.

Moderator actions are invisible in mail notifications

Case:

  • Write a topic
  • Pin that topic, a note will appear saying you pinned it
  • Other user replies to that topic
  • You get a mail with the topic post, the pin notice and the reply of the other user (see screenshot)

Problem: the pin notice in the mail only shows my name, nothing else.

Solution: either show the notice or (maybe better) filter out pin notices (and alike) completely in mails

New user invitation (not file) failing for some users

I've checked all the settings from @AlChuck thread on Trying to invite a specific user and cannot but think my problem is not spam check related.

My new user reports the message:

"You can't log in yet. We previously sent an activation email to you at janedoe@domain.com. Please follow the instructions in that email to activate your account. Click here to send the activation email again."

With the hyperlink above pointing at http://magistrates.today which wouldn't do anything surely.

If I attempt a re-invitation via + Send an Invite, discourse reports:

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

I cannot find the user email address in Screened emails.
enable local logins is checked.
email domains blacklist has "mailinator"
levenshtein distance spammer emails = 2

I think both I and the user are stuck somehow once an invitation has gone wrong. How can I add this specific new users?

Maybe I'm missing it:

Is there any way to configure a specific user to always be moderated? (i.e., Always have their posts held in the moderation queue for review before posting?)

Split user preferences menu into sections

Our one-page user preferences page is quite overwhelming right now. I think it ought to be sectioned up, similar to how most user pages work now.


Note: Let's not get stuck on what groupings are the most logical right now. For something to start with, I more or less just applied some simple cut-off points in the current ordering of the Preferences page.

I have a hosted instance of Discourse and want to add users via the C# web api we are using in our visual studio project.
Our architecture uses a Sql server back-end with Web Api and Angular at the front-end.
Our users fill in a form on our site and we need to be able to programatically add them the forum so we can then provide them with a link in subsequent pages.
What is the best approach to doing this?

Reply to post link shows address bar URL instead of link to replied to post

We found an odd linking issue on our instance, but was able to duplicate it here.

To reproduce:

  1. Find a thread that someone specifically replied to a post. For this report, I'm using this thread.
  2. Scroll to a post which is a direct post reply. The URL which should point to the post that was being replied to points to the address bar URL instead
  3. Now scroll the viewport so that the address bar changes but that same replied to is visible. On hover of that same URL, you will find it is linking to the new address bar URL

Filtering Topics by Just One Tag, Zip Codes

@LanieI wrote:

Does anyone have any ideas on how it would be possible to filter topics by zip codes? I was hoping to add a new user Field to the New Topic Box, or if that's not possible, just add "Zip Code:" to the text box in the category editing. Then, next to the category edits, add the zip code filter. I have a lot of resources on how to do this on a site that I have access to all of the code, but since I'm hosting through Discourse, I'm not sure if how to do it.
Thanks a lot!

Find user through API by user field?

@burke wrote:

Continuing the discussion from Discourse API Documentation:

We're using a github user field for users to specify their GitHub username. I'd like to use Discourse's API to make changes to a user, given their GitHub username. Is there an easy way to search for a user by a user field value?

Technically speaking, I can make a list of user field values:

  • GET /admin/users.json
  • Loop through each user to GET /users/:username.json
  • Collect user.user_fields[GITHUB_USER_FIELD_ID] from each one

but that's prohibitively inefficient. Any chance there's a method like

GET /users?user_fields[1]=foo&api_key=...&api_username=...

to get all users with user_fields[1] containing "foo" that exists or is in the works?

I'm a Ruby n00b, so haven't been able to find my answer in the source. I also haven't been able to find a feature in Discourse that lets you search by user field value from which to reverse engineer the proper call.

Thanks for any advice,

-Burke

Posting Links as "Topics"

Hi there!

Community of Aviation Enthusiasts in process of moving to Discourse from Social Engine Cloud.

One of the things we love about SE is the fact that a user can quickly share a "story" found on another site by posting a link ala reddit.

Any chance of mimicking that functionality? ** Example:**

I'd like to share a new link containing info with the community:

ON SocialEngine you paste the link and it pulls a preview image as well as a summary of text: http://www.theskylounge.tv/post/4635194/just-flight-dh-104-dove-devon

On Discourse I have to manually type a title, paste a link and it does not pull an image... a very different experience

Any ideas? Thoughts?

@jomaxro wrote:

Summary:

A new user created the maximum number of topics on their first day (3) and then created a post in an older topic. As a moderator I attempted to move the post into its own topic and was unable to do so.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create new user
  2. Create maximum number of topics allowed on first day (3)
  3. Post in another (older) topic (post d)
  4. Log in as moderator and select the post d and use the wrench to move to new topic

Expected Results:

Post is moved to a new topic

Actual Results:

Unable to move post due to new user restrictions

Notes:

Are there purposefully day 1 user restrictions in addition to the TL0 restrictions?
