Original author avatar still appears after changing post ownership - part 2

@scombs wrote:

Continuing the discussion from Original author avatar still appears after changing post ownership:

I believe there is still an issue with the original poster avatar showing up as follows:

  1. In the mobile view of Category (as the sole user)
  2. In the mobile view of Latest (as the sole user)
  3. In the desktop view of Category (as one of the users contributing to the topic)
  4. In the desktop view of Latest (as one of the users contributing to the topic)

My current scenario is for a newsletter. An editor might set up a series of articles and then assign the author of the article as the owner. I tried editing the topic with another user to see if that would fix 1 and 2. These are for topics that don't have replies which would be common for about articles, documentation, etc.

1 and 2 are the biggest priority since it's odd to have an editor avatar showing up in those mobile views.

A workaround could be to repost another topic as the author (or have the author reply to the topic?) but would like to avoid that if possible. Thanks.

Embedding: How to post to different categories from one site?

I have one site that includes multiple types of content (blog posts, events, sessions, etc.). I would like our users to comment on this content in Discourse. How can I set this up?

This is my embedding configuration:

But the host is the same for both "blog comments" and "events". Is there a way I can have Discourse differentiate between the two types of content?

Select Posts CSS makes the buttons invisible

After upgrading to latest, it seems we cannot select posts to move them anymore. The CSS rule is as follows:

.topic-post article.boxed .select-posts{position:absolute;left:100%;z-index:490;top:8px;width:200px;height:100px;background-color:#fff}

Also setting the z-index from 490 to something higher, as in

#selected-posts{width:200px;position:fixed;z-index:1000;background-color:#d1f0ff;border:1px solid #08c;padding:5px;margin-bottom:5px;right:10px}

didn't help. It seems the .select-posts items cannot escape

.topic-body{overflow: hidden;}

What should I do?

DiscourseEvent for topic_closed and topic_reopened

@joebuhlig wrote:

I need to run a sidekiq job in these two cases. My original thought was to extend the Topic model with an after_save method, but wondered if there was a better way triggered off of these events. I searched the source code for ways to hook into these but couldn't see a way. Do these exist and I'm not seeing it?

Hello,

I installed Discourse into a DO droplet and started using it for a project. Now I realize I need to make a copy of it but without content. Is there anyway I can do this without starting from scratch?

Thanks a lot!

Topic URL to include its Category

0

@stevenpslade wrote:

I am investigating the possibility of including the category in the topic URL for retargeting purposes.

For example: https://meta.discourse.org/t/support/where-can-i-create-tags/31094 or https://meta.discourse.org/support/t/where-can-i-create-tags/31094

From previous responses on this subject, it seems as though this will wreck havoc on the routing system, correct?

What about the possibility of including the category in query string? https://meta.discourse.org/t/where-can-i-create-tags/31094/?category=support

Thoughts, suggestions, answers?

Simplest way to send user ID and username to an external site? Is SSO overkill for this?

0

@AstonJ wrote:

I'll be running a competition on an external (Rails) site which just needs the Discourse user's ID and their username - it should work something like this:

  • They are logged into the Discourse forum
  • They click a link that goes to the external site
  • They get logged in automatically

Ideally they don't have to 'log-in' or 'authenticate' again if they are already logged in to the Discourse forum.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this in the simplest way with Discourse?

Edit: Looks like David has done all the hard work in implementing SSO :smiley:

Hook for a topic's category id?

@stevenpslade wrote:

I'm looking to get a topic's category id to use in javascript. Since this info is already being pulled to grab the category tag in each topic for handlebars, I was wondering if I could use that somehow?

A likely helpful piece of code could be this:

Discourse.TopicRoute.on("setupTopicController", function(event) {
// Access the controller via: event.controller
// Access the model via: event.currentModel
});

Can anyone help me with this?

Alternative UI built not on ember?

@iamntz wrote:

I'm thinking about this for a while now, although I never started to dig: it's possible to ditch Ember in favor of.. whatever? (i.e. Angular, React).

In theory I know that's possible, since the whole thing is a web app, but in practice? How would one will approach this?

I also wonder if this could be bundled in a plugin.

Thanks!

PS: don't ask for reasoning, it's more a theoretical question :slightly_smiling:

SSO and Invites?

Hey folks,

Has anyone in this community overcome the limitations wherein turning on SSO disables invites?

We are looking to use the invite feature but also use SSO which disables invites and I am just seeing if anyone has tackled this - before we try to. :slightly_smiling:

Thank you!

How can I change the Login Required page style?

@mansoorix wrote:

Hello Friends,

There is a welcome page in Discourse in which when the website is in private mode this message comes up:

An account is required. Please create an account or log in to continue.

I want to change the style of this page, add some photos and etc. Is there a way to use a designed static page for the welcome page? How can I change the design of this welcome page?

Ps. I am thinking to have something similar to this page in Quora:

How to do the simplest thing...get the category id of a topic

0

@stevenpslade wrote:

What I need: Using javascript, I need the category_id (and eventually Category name) of the current Topic.

If it were in Rails: If I was doing this in Rails land, it would look something like this assuming we are in the Topics Controller...Category.where(id: self.category_id)

What I tried in Ember:
TopicController.reopen({
getCategoryId: function() {
console.log(this.get('category_id');
}
});

I feel a bit silly, I'm sure it is very easy to get the category_id and consequently that Categories names of a particular Topic...but I can't seem to grasp this.

Staged user doesn't get notified for replies in topics they created by mail?

@Sander78 wrote:

Case:

  • New user mails to a category, new topic is created
  • A known user replies
  • Nothing else happens

Normally, a known user would have received a notification, but this is a new/staged user. Should they get a notification?

This could be handy for support systems.

MyBB importer: "Invalid codepoint"

@jacotec wrote:

Hi,

I'm trying to do a test import of my "MyBB" board with around 30.000 posts in it. I've got the importer running, but it's struggling at a specific post:

8795 / 29774 ( 29.5%) [208248 items/min] /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/cgi/util.rb:71:inchr': invalid codepoint 0xDBC0 in UTF-8 (RangeError)`

There is no way to get over this, looks like a specific post is bad for the import script.

I see two possible options:

  • Delete that posting - but how can I find out what post 8795 is?

  • Patch/Hotfix the import script - anyone an idea?

Preview wide images in Editor Preview

@Remah wrote:

Wide images are resized to the width of the column so there is a feature to display them at their original size by hovering over the image and clicking on it. The screenshot below shows what I see I hover over an image:

This issues becomes worse in the Editor Preview pane which is less than half the screen width. I can't see any way to preview the image full size. This means that I have to view the image in another application.

I'd be happy with a preview pane that can be the width of the browser window.

Topic status for "replied to"

@charleswalter wrote:

A user wrote to me earlier with an interesting idea. She wanted to be able to see in the topic list which topics she had already replied to. She said that she has seen a few other users mention similar ideas and that it would help them identify the topics in which they are active. I know on most desktop views, Discourse show multiple avatars, but as we move to a mobile world, a simple reply icon could be helpful.

Is there a way I could run this check in JS currently? I was thinking of including it next to the topic status.

No emails send for user system

@fackelwind wrote:

There are no emails generated for PMs the user system receives.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Impersonate the system user, set an email account for him
2. Set the system user to get emails even if he was recently active (i.e. after 10 minutes of inactivity)
3. verify the email account
->until here, everything works. The authorization email is noted under sent emails, arrives correctly, and clicking the link sets the email address of the user system
4. wait 10 Minutes
5. Send a PM from another user to the user "system"

Expected result: after a minute or so, an email arrives in the email account set for the user system. There is an entry in the sent emails tab stating that an email was sent to "system" with email type user_private_message

Actual result: noting. Neither Emails sent nor Emails skipped gains a new entry. No Email arrives.

What would that fix: Having a working email address for the user system would allow the staff to notice that someone replied to a system message (e.g. the welcoming email, where replying to it is explicitely stated.)

EDIT (since I can't write a new answer):
Yes, creating a new user "staff" and setting it as sender of all system messages is the obvious next step. Since "staff" is an ordinary user, everything should work. I just thought that I would report the bug before I did that. At least to me it is not obviuos why it is not possibly to send the PMs system receives out by email.
