Who is banning my users?

A couple of my users are sending me messages that their account was banned as soon as they created it. I can't tell if this is happening automatically, or if one of my admins is blocking accounts. Is there a way to check which user/process blocked a user?

I'm about to click the subscribe button on an instance hosted by Discourse but I saw that adding SSL is another $20 a month. Is it possible for me just to use LetsEncrypt certs on my Discourse instance?

What happened to user stats?

I have some code that looks like:

response = @discourse_client.get("/users/by-external/#{user_id}")
stats = response["body"]["user"]["stats"]

...and then went on to do things with the stats (like get the number of topics created).

I know this worked relatively recently (I saved certain stats into my database), but at the moment ["stats"] is not being returned. Did it go away, or am I crazy?

Thread tools - duplicated nearer top of thread?

Anyone else think there is merit in including a thread tools drop-down nearer the top of a thread?

The ability to quickly watch/unwatch/mute a thread without having to scroll to the bottom would be handy.

Someone on one of my forums posted this in feedback:

Is there a way to mute a thread without opening, scrolling all the way to the bottom and searching for the non-descript dropdown button?

While their frustration seems apparent, I do feel they have a point. Anyway posting here to see what others think.

Concatenating letsencrypt ssl key/cert after discourse build

Hi all,

I'm running haproxy infront of discourse, and haproxy needs the /shared/ssl/hostname.key & /shared/ssl/hostname.cer files to be concatenated. I can do this manually of course, but I would like to be able to add a simple cat /var/discourse/shared/ssl/hostname.key >> /var/discourse/shared/ssl/hostname.cer after the files are generated.

I attempted to add it as an exec:cmd: to the end of /var/discourse/templates/web.letsencrypt.ssl.template.yml but when I rebuilt the app I was getting git errors about unstaged changes (naturally).

I'm using this discourse/docker setup https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker

TL;DR I need to cat ssl.key >> ssl.cer after the letsencrypt template generates them, what is the best way to do this?

Reply reminder - Remind users to reply to new users topics with zero replies

$

@DeanMarkTaylor wrote:

One of the important things for a new user is:

  • to get a reply when they first post a topic to feel like there is a community (or at least someone out there).

If a user's topic doesn't get a reply they are:

  • less likely to return
  • share the new found community with others

A "Staff" member might quickly glance at the topic whilst on the go (removing it from the unread list)

  • meaning to come back to it later that day.
  • there is something more important to reply to right now.
  • "that's going to take too long to reply to on my phone / right now"
  • but the topic gets forgotten in the sea of activity from other topics in the latest list.

Something in me wants:

  • TL3, TL4 and Staff to be reminded of posts by TL0, TL1 and TL2 users (perhaps all) that haven't had any replies yet.
  • For something to be displayed like:
    • a "reminder"
    • new tab like "New" or "Unread"
    • or search link to a specific search
  • When the TL3, TL4 and Staff user has:
    • read all (or a high percentage of) posts from the past X days
  • That "new view" or search result would:
    • show topics that still - "might" - need a reply.
    • show topics that that user perhaps has even read before.

Yes, not every topic needs a reply, there are definitely cases where one wouldn't be required.

Maybe there is "special sauce" detection for this list / "reminder", maybe there isn't.

If there was "special sauce", perhaps that could include:

  • A percentage of the "Staff" have spent at least 4x "reading time" on the post
  • 14 days have past since initial post

... then don't display again.

@DeanMarkTaylor wrote:

When receiving post content via incoming email a new image is downloaded each time and stored.

Steps to reproduce

  • Setup email to be received by group in a shared inbox
  • you receive an email from PayPal links their logo: http://images.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/logo_emailheader_113wx46h.gif
  • Discourse downloads said logo and keeps a copy.
  • Wait for micro-payments to roll in.
  • Lucky you now receive 1000 emails in a single day from PayPal.

Expected

  • a single copy of the logo to be stored on disk.

Actual

  • Lucky you, you now have 1000+ copies of their logo.

Godaddy has much lower server requirements than DigitalOcean

I noticed that Godaddy offers Discourse as one of their 'cloud apps'. Is there a reason I can select a 512MB/1CPU plan with them, but DigitalOcean requires (at minimum) 2048MB/2CPU? That's quite the difference!

What am I missing, here?

Hi Team,

I would like to ask, is it possible to restrict users to choose among the avatars/profile pic which is defined by the admin in the forum. ?

The idea is to restrict users from using any external avatar/profile pic even if they sign in by google or FB..

Your help is much appreciated....

Kind regards,

Maahi

Jobs::HandledExceptionWrapper: Wrapped SocketError: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

So, emails are failing en masse once again on my site.

This situation happened once before (in January), and restarting Discourse "fixed" it. But due to the very nature of the problem, there's no good way to stay informed about whether there is a problem or not. In this episode, emails have not been sent since March 28, which is not great.

After some Googling, this appears to be a Ruby or a Ruby->Linux issue. However, my expertise is not with Ruby and so I don't feel optimistic about digging into this one on my own.

Does anyone have a quick fix or at least some things to try? Thanks in advance.

P.S. I am still experiencing another Discourse bug and I had originally thought these 2 problems were unrelated—but maybe that is not the case?

Incorrect references to posts when moved to another topic

@AstonJ wrote:

A post was moved to a new topic and the reference to the post it was in reply to is broken - it goes nowhere (should clicking on it take us to the post in the old topic when it is not in the same topic?)

A little later a second post was made (after the first post was moved) into the old thread - in response to the moved post - it too was then moved to the new topic, however it is referring to the person who moved the topic, rather than the person who made the post that was initially moved (and the post they probably clicked the reply button to).

Here is the original topic http://elixirforum.com/t/which-code-editor-or-ide-do-you-use/78/55?u=astonj

Here is the new topic: http://elixirforum.com/t/installing-atom-elixir-on-windows/373 (look at the top right of each post - the first link is broke, and the second is broke but also referring to the wrong person).

Hi !

I got a problem on my Discourse : I changed the owner of a topic, it changed correctly the owner, but the new owner can't edit the topic.

Is it a parameter to enable / a recently fix / somthing to do or is it a bug ?

Thanks a lot.

Disabling Allow New Registrations still shows registration link and modal

@ron_jeremy wrote:

Please feel free to move or delete this post if it is in fact not a bug.

I noticed that if I uncheck

allow new registrations

the 'Sign Up' link is still visible in the header. Furthermore, the link opens the registration modal and allows one to fill in all the fields only to be prompted that new registrations are currently not allowed after all required info is submitted.

This is a bit of a piss-off if you've just gone through the hassle to enter all your registration info, don't you think?

Wouldn't it be better to simply remove the 'Sign Up' link (and disable the registration modal)? This is already enforced with the

invite only

setting, so it shouldn't be difficult to implement.

Thoughts?

[PAID] Modify existing Kunena 3 script to work with Kuena 4

@wasimkham wrote:

I'm not a ruby developer but I tried using the current Kunena 3 import script on Kunena 4 data and it imports the users but fails before it imports all the posts. I looked in the DB but the User ID's do not correspond to the same User ID's in the Joomla table, so this will not work with SSO.

I'm looking for someone to tailor the Kunena import script to perfectly import my Kunena 4 db tables, making sure:

  • All users ID's correspond so my SSO setup will work
  • Avatar is imported from field that I specify
  • All categories and posts are imported correctly and correspond to the correct users

Please let me know, thanks!
