Facebook Video Support in Obox?

0

@keith1 wrote:

I know the concept of facebook integration into Obox has been brought up before, but the world of video hosting has changed a little since that discussion, so I wanted to raise this very specific question:

With Facebook Video becoming a heavy hitter in the content hosting world, is there any way we can get facebook video support in Obox?

The counter points to facebook integration in the past discussions were

  • Most content is behind a login wall - this isn't actually true anymore. (For example: https://www.facebook.com/dima.koslowski/videos/879922095450656/)

  • Too many types of content (i.e. pages, posts, pictures, video): While I ultimately think all types should probably be supported, the only thing I actually care about here is the video hosting.

Is this easily feasible?

Add to homescreen banner on Android

Continuing the discussion from Fully support Android Chrome's "Add to Homescreen":

If any of you guys visited meta on the last days with an Android Phone (using the default Chrome Browser) you may have seen this:

This is Google App Banner feature, and it's live on latest Discourse.

Clicking Add to Home Screen will create a shortcut on your phone home screen, using your forum name and icon, that when clicked will show a splash screen like this:

The background color is the same of your board and the backgroud of the Android top bar will match the background of your header background.

After that your forum will open, and without the Chrome location bar, giving it an app feel.

It's also easier to spot it on Android app switcher, since it has it own entry like an app,

Also, I think it makes the page way more difficult to be garbage collected from ram, but I need to confirm if this is true or just my bias.

This is it. I think this will make your users come back more to your community!

FAQ:

It isn't showing to me!
- Google controls when the banner will appear, the today default is: The user has visited your site at least twice, with at least five minutes between visits.

Closed forum but special links to access content?

@envieme wrote:

I would like to keep my forum closed to visitors (login or signup to see content). Yet I would like links which are shared by members outside to be visible to those who are clicking on them and coming in to the site. Other content would be hidden. Or is there a way for admin to generate special links to preview content in a closed forum for visitors?

I have linked a mp4 file on my forums and it shows and plays well on desktop while on mobile (chrome, android) it is just showing the player controls with a blank space above. Waiting for sometime too does't load nor pressing the play button.

Is the player not html5 / doesn't support mobile browsers?

Has anyone tried to reopen the composer to create further actions in it? In this case I'm building a blog-like plugin that is not based on topics but has it's own model and db tables. I could agree it's a bit scary :slight_smile:

Show a loader starting page for slow connections?

@envieme wrote:

I am on a very slow internet connection in a rural area now. And when initially loading my discourse instance, it takes like 2-3 minutes with a blank screen and suddenly everything appears. So i guess it is loading all the assests and the app in the background in that time.

It would be nice to see a fast loading static html page with a loading... until the actual loading of the app has been completed in the background for such slow connections i feel.

Search within topic is omitting results

@TechnoBear wrote:

This issue was first brought to my attention some days ago by a forum member, and I've since noticed it on a few occasions, but I've been unable to establish the cause. (By it's very nature, it's hard to spot when it happens.)

We have an ongoing game thread where we use search to check that an entry has not been posted previously. A search for "legs" in that thread shows it in the wiki post #1, and also at post #2503 by SuperTed, but it omits the earlier post by FemaleAdda at #2430.

There is no formatting or anything in the omitted post to explain this, as far as I can see.

I thought it might just be a glitch caused by the length of that topic, but I've since encountered it elsewhere. For example here:

"Trending" doesn't appear in the search results, although it's clearly in the post. Likewise "hashtags":

But a general search (rather than topic search) does show that post:

The term "trending hashtag" also appears in an earlier post in that topic, but does not appear in a topic search for either of those terms. In both these cases, the term is in a list, which I thought might be causing an issue, but this post in the same topic has no lists and doesn't appear in topic search for any of the terms I tried.

Bizarrely, if I search for "quality", it doesn't show post #40 in the results, but does show my reply - including the instance where I quoted that post.

The term "quality" also appears in posts #14, #16 and #37 in that topic - none of which appeaars in the search results.

I use this kind of search extensively, where I think I've seen a post - or something very similar - before, and I want to check whether it's been copied from earlier in the topic. At the moment, it's not reliable. Unfortunately, I cannot find any common factor in the omitted results.

I am looking for ways to add a small footer text to the first post in every topic created. I want it to show some general guideline information to people who may reply to the topic. So it should be at the end of the content the user posts in the topic she creates. Can someone help me with how to do it?

Cannot access topics after upgrade from 1.6.0.beta1 to beta2

@karussell wrote:

I've upgraded discourse using the UI, running on a docker image on Ubuntu 14.4. The entry page as well as the admin pages work, even the search is working. But all the topics are no longer accessible and it seems to load forever then at some point times out.

I've then rebuild the app via the docker commands, but it did not improve. Then I upgraded the machine itself via apt-get and rebuild the app again. But still it has the same symptoms.

What I find a bit strange that the version says: installed: v1.6.0.beta1 +281 and latest: 1.6.0.beta2 and shows You're up to date! The update logs do not show something problematic to me.

Is that a failed upgrade? How would I know and re-trigger the upgrade, as the UI does not provide an upgrade button now that it thinks it is up-to-date

Edit Maybe related to this here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/unable-to-upgrade-even-though-running-on-older-version/42967 hmmh but I have 4GB of memory and 1 physical CPU core. @envieme as the topic is already closed: do you see the correct installed version now? And what are your RAM settings for the DB and how much RAM do you have available?

There seems to be some strange SELECT statements taking several dozen seconds and 5-10% CPU:

10566 message+  20   0 1183312  20620  17036 D   4.7  0.5   0:01.27 postgres: discourse discourse [local] SELECT

External links in history don’t follow “Open all external links in a new tab” setting

@jesus2099 wrote:

Continuing the discussion from “Open all external links in a new tab” option does not work for protocol agnostic links:

  1. Activate the “Open all external links in a new tab” option in your user preferences
  2. Go to this post
  3. Confirm that clicking the first (external) link (called MusicBrainz’s community) does open a new tab
  4. Close this new tab (back to the post)
  5. Click the pencil icon (post modifications history)
  6. Click that same external link in the history pop up panel

Instead of opening in a new tab, this external link opens in the current tab.


:hatching_chick: Disclaimer: this topic is not a duplicate of that post. That former post was indeed describing the same problem but the topic then diverged to fixing the starred (:star2:) problem, which own topics got erased two times by mistake.
So, thanks for reading it, I tried to best describe a step by step explanation, as my English is often ambiguous otherwise, and as it was helpfully suggested by @zogstrip.

If I'm not mistaken, this error has occurred because I pulled the "latest" version a few weeks ago, but as I have not needed to go back to my local Discourse for testing until today, I have only just seen this error message when spinning it up. Has anyone encountered the error below and knows how to resolve this? Admittedly, I'm not really sure how to go about doing this.

eBay Onebox support for alternative URL style

@DeanMarkTaylor wrote:

With people searching already for ideas for Mothers Day...
... they are leaning on eBay for great ideas.

One of several that didn't onebox correctly was this one:

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=272213415925&alt=web

http://www.ebay.com/itm/272213415925

Now you can see the top link is not "oneboxing" as expected and that the 2nd link is for the same product in an alternative style link.

Could support be added for this alternative link style?

Ideas for security compliance? E.g. OWASP ZAP and Hakiri

Hi,

Has anyone tried running the code through a tool like these and put needed changes on a roadmap, or marking some items as false positives?

Here in the federal government, Discourse could be a great platform. But for us to adopt software, all security items have to be addressed. We've run scans on Discourse and get a bunch of security warnings.

Thanks!
