We installed the Messaging Plugin. We want the oprion to place a Messaging Button at each category or sub-category and have it Message the person we designate as the Manager of that category, subcategory. Is it doable? If so, maybe we have it configured incorrectly. Comments please. Thanks.

I'm playing with a banner image as a clickable background, but I've also added floating text to it. The reason being is that I don't want to hard code my text in the image.

This is how it looks like in the home page;

But if click a topic, it'll interfere with my banner floating text like this;

My css are as follows, sorry for the dirty code, just learning the ropes;

How difficult is it to style the forums?

I am working on an MMO game website. We are using PHPBB 3.1 for our forums. The bosses want to change to Discourse forums after viewing Tree of Savior's forums. I have many questions but the first is how easy is it to style the forums to match the rest of a website. Here is our current website - http://sacramentgame.com. The site is built with Bootstrap 3 framework. Our forums were implemented by another person so the styling is not quite the same. I am restyling them on a staging site to make sure everything matches as best I can. The staging forums are at http://staging.sacramentgame.com/forum. It's a work in progress. Any insight to difficulty or ease of styling would be greatly appreciated.

Initial email failure. Job exception: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

I am trying to install Discourse using the basic Docker script on a new instance of an Ubuntu VM. I'm having an issue with emails not sending.

I've followed the steps in the install instructions to the letter. I've also done this several times, always with the same results.

I looked in the production.log file (/var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/rails/production.log) and found this:

Sent mail to @.com (75.1ms)
Job exception: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

Here are what I think are the relevant parts of my app.yml file:

DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS: '@.com'
DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: 'discourse-sand.vm.'

DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: . # (mandatory)
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 25 # (optional)
#DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: user@example.com # (optional)
#DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: pa$$word # (optional, WARNING the char '#' in pw can caus$
#DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true # (optional, default true)

## If you want to set the 'From' email address for your first registration, uncomment and change:
- exec: rails r "SiteSetting.notification_email='@.com'"
## After getting the first signup email, re-comment the line. It only needs to run once.

I'm using an internal SMTP server in our company. I asked IT what to use for authentication and they told me that name and port was the only information I should configure, and leave username and password commented out.

Note that the domain of the VM is vm., so I used that for the DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME account. The only quirk that I thought could be an issue is that this SMTP server is configured to only allow traffic to/from certain internal domains, and I don't know if vm. is causing a problem. Hence the reason I uncommented the 'From' email override at the bottom of the .yml file.

However, looking at the log file, I wonder if it's having trouble finding the server at all. I'm able to ping the SMTP server from the terminal, but I'm out of my depth in Linux troubleshooting at this point and not sure how or where to dig further. Oh, and I tried to send email through the SMTP server via telnet based on this post, and that succeeded. I'm happy to provide any additional log info but you might need to explain how to get at it - I'm a pretty big noob when it comes to Linux or Ruby but I'm really interested in learning more!

Going from PHPBB 3.1 to Discourse....so many questions!

My client is currently wanting to change the forums on his site from PHPBB 3.1 to Discourse. First Godaddy does have a hosting package for this (this is where the full site + forums are being hosted) but they can't do a migration from the MySql database to whatever Discourse uses. The Discourse hosting package is too steep in price at the moment for my client. I know Digital Ocean has a hosting plan as well. Do they handle migration from MySql to whatever database Discourse uses? I am a website designer not developer so knowing how to code for Ruby, PHP, etc is not my strong suit. I would also need a staging instance of the forums for styling purposes as it is not good practice to play with a live version. How can these things be accomplished the easiest? The current forums are about a year old and the client really doesn't want to start from scratch. Any help, advice, guidance, etc would be greatly appreciated. I am also not a DB admin so I don't have any real knowledge of importing, exporting, or migrating databases.

`j`+`k` keyboard shortcuts and small windows

Similar to this old topic: The upper part of a post is hidden when the topic title is too long

Posts can be partly hidden (upper part) because of the <header> when using keyboard shortcuts for navigation, also large posts are not visible from their beginning on small windows or screens (like on a laptop) because they are centred.

What do you think about my fix? :slight_smile:

Should Redis be configed as a cache server or not?

@louirobert wrote:

The official GitHub page for Discourse says

"We use Redis as a cache and for transient data.".

But Sidekiq, which is a part of Discourse, says

"Many people use Redis as a cache but it's important that Sidekiq be run against a Redis instance that is not configured as a cache but as a persistent store."

and it also suggests

"using two separate Redis instances, each configured appropriately, if you wish to use Redis for caching and Sidekiq"

So what should I do? I currently have only one Redis configed as a LRU cache. Should I make another one for Sidekiq, and how? Or I can safely ignore Sidekiq's suggestion?

Thanks.

Need some guide for changing all users to TL2

to let all the users to be able to invite others to a topic or to the forum, i want to change default user level at registration to TL2 and shift all the other limits from the setting panel, so that any limit that exist for TL0 is now set for TL2 users.

I just want to be sure that this way i don't make any thread for our forum. is there a place where i can see the limits that exist for different user levels? for example inviting others to a topic only exist for >TL2 users, but it's not written anywhere, and i figured it out by using the forum!

isn't there an easier way rather than usage?

thanks in advance,

It would be nice to let the forum's administrator to decide what should be the number of lines limitation instead of the currently 20.

When I read the first post on a very long topic, I find myself losing the context of all the answers when I can't remember who the original poster was.

Is it an idea to mark the posts of the original poster somehow in a topic?

P.S.: wasn't sure if this has been discussed before. Searching for original poster or topic starter didn't get me any results.

Hi All,

I run a technical community in the UK and we run our conversations on Yammer, but I am looking to move that to Discourse going forward.

Has anyone managed to do a user and conversation export from Yammer and import to Discourse, so that I do not lose our existing conversations?

Thanks

White screen after upgrade

I upgraded my site to the newest version of the discourse and I installed topic list preview plugin 4 days ago. There was also an upgrade available in the topic list preview. I upgraded the site using
cd /div/discourse
./launcher rebuild app

Everything went fine without any errors.

When I visit my site on any major browser, all I see is just white screen.

I don't understand what seems to be causing this issue.

Please note that I can only access the site using the following url

www.mysite.com/admin/upgrade

Here is the log of the site.
