Allow user to edit post that is older than the allowed edit time

Continuing the discussion from A plugin for adding layout classes to post elements:

Problem

So this comes up every so often on Meta - a user creates a topic, some time passes, discussion resumes months later, now the user is no longer able to edit the OP. The current solution tends to be a moderator making the OP a wiki.

This solution works well here on Meta, and I've yet to see any issues with it. However, this solution is not ideal on other sites. Making the post a wiki allows any user to edit it. In the linked topic example, the post in question is the description of a plugin. If user A made a plugin, user C shouldn't have the ability to edit the post, just so user A can do so.

Proposed Solution

Create staff feature to remove the edit time limit from an individual post. This would be located in the wrench menu just like wiki, and would simply allow the owner of the post to edit the post ignoring the edit time limit site setting. In the same manner, the button would then be used to re-enable the site-setting edit time limit.

Gated community with limited first access?

I think it may be a good idea to implement an option that lets you gate the homepage, yet allow direct access to content links for the first few times to a new visitor then show a signup cta to access more if they like.

This way when links are shared by members outside, visitors can still access them without hitting a wall thereby get a preview of the community and its content. While repeat visitors are encouraged to signup.

Censored words out of a URL

@jesselperry wrote:

Not sure if this should be classified as a bug, or intended. But I noticed that Discourse will censor out censored words from a URL, even when it's not shown. So if someone links to something that contains a censored word, but they link it through the hyperlink button — Discourse will still censor out the words and mess up the link.

For that matter, perhaps the censored word feature shouldn't mess with URLs at all, even if they do show? Or if a URL contains a censored word, hide the URL altogether, but just force a hyperlink to it?

All minutiae I'm not sure the answer to…

Hi,

I've setup my Discourse instance and my Ghost on the same server in Docker containers, using nginx to route to the different containers. But when trying to show the Ghost welcome page it gets stuck on "Loading Discussion...".

I've configured embedding for blog.hyzerflip.rip and my code looks like this:

I can't find anything in the Discourse logs.

Triple click last line can't quote reply

A situation I notice regularly is triple clicking the last line of a post, and then trying to do the Quite Reply. But triple clicking seems to select enough extra blank space that

My guess is that essentially selecting the last line and the "return" means that the selection extends outside the bounds of the message and thus disables the "quote reply" feature.

It would be nice if this could be special case/handled so that selecting the last line of the reply including the end of that line still worked with the "quote reply" facility.

Private labeled forums?

Wondering if it is possible to do private labeled forums as a partner I am working with would like to use our discourse instance but would require it with their logo and show only forums they are interested in. While I require the users they would bring.

Am imagining something like wordpress mu, where individual users can start they own blog but are part of a network.

What to monitor to be sure that our discource is running good

We are using Zabbix as monitoring tool for our infrastructure.
Standard templates give us status of, memory consumed, disk space, processors usage etc.
Sometimes these parameters looks good on monitoring system but Discourse simple does not work as should.
Is there any endpoint or something similar which is going to tell us that Discourse has problems.
How do you monitor your instances ?

Continuing the discussion from List of project ideas for Google Summer of Code 2016:

We were granted 3 project slots by Google for this year's GSoC. Here are the students and their projects.

Erick Guan @fantasticfears -- Webhooks

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5787017325576192/#5239630681079808

I will build webhooks for Discourse. The webhook is a HTTP callback. It posts the payload to an external URL when an event happens.

Konrad Borowski @GlitchMr -- Babble improvements

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5787017325576192/#5155865711607808

A chat plugin for Discourse called Babble is going to be improved to the point where it will be a really usable chat system, while keeping it simple. Editing, deleting, flagging will be supported, as well as working mentions, permalinks, and attachments.

André Pereira @adrapereira -- Topic Summaries, Canned Replies and Presence Features

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5787017325576192/#5459107213475840

  1. Some topics, like a call-for-bug-reports or a new Howto, will receive a lot of replies that go stale shortly thereafter because the appropriate fixes/edits were applied as a response. When closing or marking as solved doesn't make sense, the best solution to date is to delete these replies. Topic summaries offer a less destructive solution.

  2. A simple way for moderators to insert pre-written responses to common inquiries. Reduces repetitive actions, especially in support-centric communities.

  3. See who - apart from yourself - is using the "Reply" dialog box to write a reply to a particular topic. Targeted primarily at private group messages.

The particulars of these proposals are still subject to some changes as we talk things over in the weeks to come.


To those who were not accepted this year: Rejection is disappointing, but I hope this won't bother you for long. If you're genuinely interested in Discourse, I hope you'll stick around in our community, as I think it's a great place to grow as a developer.

Different URL in outbound email

@tcn33 wrote:

All of the URLs in outbound email (notifications, account conrfirmations etc) are using a different subdomain to the forum - where the URL should show talk.domain.com, it's showing up as link.domain.com. I've obviously set this someplace, but it's not in app.yml nor anywhere in the Discourse config that I can find.

Where would this be set?

Confused about the "Nice Share" badge

@TechnoBear wrote:

Continuing the discussion from Nice share counting visits from within the forum?:

As with mcwumbly in that topic, I have badges (both here and on SitePoint) for posts I don't recall sharing. One (on SitePoint) I know I linked to from within the same topic, but I can't imagine I would ever have linked to it from elsewhere. The posts are not linked from other topics on the same forum (as there is no link information back beside these posts). It's possible that I've linked between SitePoint and Meta (and forgotten about it), but again, that seems unlikely for some of these posts.

Which is a convoluted way of asking: what is the criteria used for awarding these badges?

Script/discourse crashes

Hey there,

While trying to remap upload URLs since we changed of domain as mentioned in this thread, I get the following error:

/var/www/discourse# script/discourse remap forum.ucoin.io forum.duniter.org

I get:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- thor (LoadError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
        from script/discourse:3:in `<main>'

So I cannot perform the remap.

Am I missing something?

Edit: yes I am missing the fact I could run discourse remap forum.ucoin.io forum.duniter.org instead.

Help us test the new header code!

@eviltrout wrote:

I've just merged another client side performance improvement for Discourse. Our site header has been re-written using the widget code that gave us a huge performance increase within topics.

The site header is present on every page and our benchmarks showed that it often took up 1/4 of the initial rendering time of a Discourse page. With the new code, it renders roughly 8x faster than before, which should be a significant improvement on android devices.

Since this is a major re-write, the odds of it including regressions are quite high, so I'd like to warn everyone now that if you are following the tests-passed branch of Discourse you might want to wait a few days before updating unless you are comfortable helping us track down bugs.

In the meantime, please use this topic to report any issues you encounter and I'll be fixing them as quickly as I can.

Fixes

  • Navigating directly between topics wasn't updating the title of the topic
  • Clicking categories was not closing the menu
  • Cmd / Shift clicking links didn't open them in new tabs
  • Topic status icons were missing in topics
  • HTML entities were missing from titles
  • Weird resizing of home logo

I am trying to modify the user.hbs file my plugin. Doing the standard plugins/myplugin/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/user/user.hbs and copying the original code and modifying what I need. However, the result is that nothing changes. I am just moving publicUserFields above bio. Any ideas why?

Also, more advanced conversation on this topic that I would be curious to know: Could one create a widget to alter the profile using a virtual dom approach?
