We started using Discourse as a GetSatisfaction replacement. We are geeks, so we like Discourse features more. It has been working pretty well for us so far:

We also use HipChat room for our team communication, so we wanted some Discourse events reported to our HipChat room. Here is my patch rolling on top of Discourse:

It is not particularly nice, just a hack (I'm not a rails dev). Anyway just wanted to let you know that something like this exists. Feel free to use/modify it.

FYI, I am pulling out the code to support persona for a few reasons.

1. It is unmaintained and broken at the moment.
2. It uses a different pipeline and series of hacks we don't use in any of the other auth providers
3. The omniauth gem we use is a fork of omniauth-browserid (should really be called omniauth-persona)

I would love to include it by default if the implementation was not so hacky and did not depend on so many structural changes.

So, instead of adding it to core, lets get it in a self contained plugin first and decide based on that if we add it back to core.

Speaking of "gotten there", what are you using for a development process behind the scenes?

One of the nice things about stackoverflow was that we got a good sense of what was a priority or not based on your posts on your blog (assuming this is Jeff behind the codinghorror account). But I never got the sense of how you and your team actually kept track of everything. I would assume you were doing something like Trello/Kanban considering you worked with Joel, but I don't actually know for certain. Maybe I missed the related blog posting?

We've created a native mobile app for iOS that can be found here:

It allows some of the core features such as viewing topics, categories, comments, and favorites, as well as creating new topics and messages. It also supports multiple Discourse accounts.

Although Apple won't let us brand it as a beta, it's still in a beta phase. We were interested in getting some feedback from the community.

It would be really great to also get some type of notice of API changes here in case of future API changes revolving around the features that the app uses as well, if it's possible.

Thoughts?
Thanks!

Continuing the discussion from Plugin i18n setup:

I just set this up and ran into a peculiar issue. Even after restarting my dev server and clearing the tmp/cache directory, the /assets/locales/en.js?body=1 was not getting updated to reflect the new translations. I even deleted the whole JsLocaleHelper file and restarted the server and still the same en.js kept getting returned. If I put some dummy text in locales/en.js.erb, it showed up immediately. WEIRD.

What solved it was to stop the server, start the rails console and enter JsLocaleHelper.output_locale(:en), which was able to see the changed JsLocaleHelper. I then started the server again and it's working now.

The GOOD news is that I don't require a server restart to change my plugin's client.en.yml now that it's recognized.

I can't for the life of me figure out what happened here, but thought I'd pass it on in case anyone else encounters this.

On the Mozilla Discourse dev instance, we tried upgrading to the latest version with the procedure, which worked successfully. However, we wanted to try rollback, so we checked out v0.9.8.4 and then ran the upgrade commands again (db : migrate, assets : precompile, etc.). This somewhat worked, but it broke user pages.

However, when we restored the DB backup from 0.9.8.4, user pages worked again. I'm guessing that db : migrate isn't meant to be used when coming from newer versions, right? We tried db : rollback, but that just seems to revert one modification made to the database at a time, which is tedious.

What is the recommended way to roll back to the previous version and ideally keep all of the new posts as well?

Hello,

First and foremost, thanks to the developers of Discourse and everyone who is making great efforts in creating an awesome forum!

I am a Discouse newbie and I am trying to do sso using the CAS sso auth plugin in https://github.com/eriko/cas_sso .

I am currently making some experiments in authenticating users in Discourse using a test web app I am using as CAS server. I have set up discourse in a VM (vagrant) whereas the CAS server runs in the host machine. I have installed the sso plugin and set the values as indicated (i.e. cas_sso_host, cas_sso_port, etc, as it is a non-standard CAS server), with ssh disabled.

One thing that I noticed is that it seems that there seems to be a cross domain protection acting, the following is a message that appears in the console when I go to login in vagrant discourse:

Started GET "/session/csrf" for 10.0.2.2 at 2014-02-14 17:53:12 -0500
Processing by SessionController#csrf as */*
Completed 200 OK in 1ms (Views: 0.2ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)

Here 10.0.2.2 is the ip of the CAS server. This server is accessible from vagrant, I tested access to the CAS server URLs using lynx (everything works fine). I should likely mention also that cas_sso_login_url is set to /login and cas_sso_path is set to /cas in the Discourse sso plugin options. I have been also monitoring requests to /cas/login in the CAS server and none of my login attempts from Discourse have made it there.

I am brand new to Discourse and Ruby, so I am having a bit of a struggle here and any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance for your time and excellent disposition.

Best regards,
Moe

In my own Discourse, freshly updated as of Feb 22, my account's long username is cut off.

See in the image the blue text should be watchmanmonitor but the n is cut in half.

I don't believe I have any extra customization which would cause this behavior.

TIA for your thoughts.

Let's discuss Observers.

(This PR by @zogstrip inspired this post.)

In Rails 4 they are moving Observer support into a plugin:
http://blog.remarkablelabs.com/2012/12/observers-gem-extraction-rails-4-countdown-to-2013

I personally am not a huge fan of observers as you end up with swabs of code that gets executed when events happen, and you don't always know about them. They're generally in another file than your model, but not always one named after it! (see notification observers observes tons of stuff.)

They also make our tests run slower when executing tons of side effects that we usually don't care about.

---

I would like to migrate away from the observer pattern in our code base. I would even like to take it further and suggest that we replace most of our ActiveRecord callback stuff too.

We have tried out Service Classes in our code base, such as PostCreator and TopicView and I think they've been working quite well.

I think it might be a good idea to replace our observers with service classes. When you need the callbacks, you use the service class. When you don't, just use the model directly. This should speed up our tests as tests of the model in isolation will never bother with the service class thing. The service class will be tested separately.

Thoughts?

The current grey background in the user profile page looks like a placeholder for something that could contain an image.

What about adding an option to link/upload a background image Twitter/GPlus style.

There could be an option to tile the background image like Twitter has.

PS. My email is public on my website, don't worry bout it. =)
