According to the link below, FB email address are already authenticated. I had previously thought that fb accounts didnt require email address to be authenticated, but realized today that this isnt the case.

Might be helpful to consider for the future to smooth this onboarding for fb users. Though it currently represents a low % for us, not sure what its like in other communities

"Continuing the discussion" appended after topic template

Reproduce:

  1. Be in a topic in a category with a somewhat-lengthy (multiple line) topic template enabled.
  2. Find a reply post within the topic, and click the "Reply as new topic" link in the right sidebar.

Expected results:

  • The new topic is created in the same category.
  • The "Continuing the discussion from...." preamble text appears above the topic template text.

Actual results:

  • The new topic is created in the same category.
  • The preamble text is appended to the topic template text, at the end of the same final line. (Not even on a new line by itself.) This causes user confusion and to miss the link altogether.

My banner works fine. Just added a youtube video and it appears embedded on a regular page but the banner only doesnt show the youtube box at all.

Do I have to embed the raw youtube code instead?

Migrating longstanding forum / wiki to Discourse

I have been involved in the back end development of SABRE (http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk) for about 7 years, that was originally set up in 1999. The site talks about the British and Irish road network (preferred driving routes, traffic signals, engineering standards) and is predominantly used for the discussion forums.

Over the past few years, a number of longstanding posters have complained and / or left, believing the site is no longer fun or enjoyable. We discovered that there are numerous posts that do not violate any reasonable off-topic and civility posting guidelines, but are still excessively negative or trolling and lead to an unpleasant atmosphere. (Example : http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=826961#p826961) I've been aware of Discourse for some time, having been a regular reader of the Coding Horror blog for years, so I'm interested to see what it has to offer.

The site currently runs on a Linode cluster running phpBB3.1 and MediaWiki 1.20 under Debian Linux. There's quite a bit of custom code (mostly PHP with a side order of Python) to provide a seamless login between the forums, wiki and other pages including the maps area which I wrote. Since Discourse is written in Rails, that immediately means I would need some good political negotiation to explain why I want to put more software on the server, and who would support it if I get run over by a bus (there are enough people around who can support a LAMP stack, but that's it). Another key requirement is that all data must be kept (over 800,000 forum posts and 130,000 wiki pages by about 2,000 users) and upgraded to any new system in a short amount of time (typically no more than an hour or two). I am sure that migrating this data is not impossible, merely time consuming?

Does Discourse suit our needs? I think the hardest problem is not a technical one of migrating data, but convincing the users that we need this solution.

Has somebody put together a comparison between Ning and Discourse? Discourse is clearly a more polished product, but what about the rest? Anybody that had experience on both platform that could shed some light?

How to access $(this) with api.attachWidgetAction?

I am adding a new post menu button with api.addPostMenuButton.

I would like to access the data of this post-menu button on click using api.attachWidgetAction.

Ideally, it would be the equivalent of:

$(this).attr('data-something')

Any ideas?

Feature Request: Tall and Thin Image Handling

$

@fearlessfrog wrote:

I think this is a feature request. We have users putting images in posts, and sometimes those images are quite tall, i.e. height much greater than the width. Discourse provides an image preview in the post, but uses the image height within the post height to determine the aspect ratio. An example image looks like this:

Ideally we'd like to present this image so that the image width takes the full post width, but perhaps shows a 'More..' link at the bottom. The 'image viewer overlay' (not sure what type, mfp css classes) struggles with this format too, in that it squishes the file info at the bottom.

So yep, probably a bit unusual but thought I'd throw that out there anyway. If anyone has any simple custom CSS then we could give that a go too.

On the latest master branch, emails are not being delivered in my local development environment unless I deselect the 'queue jobs' site setting. If I execute the job from the console it still works as expected. If I check out an earlier version it also works as expected. I'm not sure what is going on with this.

Has anyone tried the flow of logging into their forums from within the fb app using fb authentication?

Not sure if this can be improved, but it wasnt really clear how to proceed after authenticating. Perhaps there's a way to detect user is in FB app and show a button to reload previous page?

The back button at top just takes be back to FB. The back button on bottom just takes me to previous page unauthenticated.

Minor, but IMHO having the highlighting fade away after clicking "Mark all as Read" gives a reassuring visual cue that it "did it's thing"

A page refresh proves it did work, just the same....

Dear Discourse community,

Im having problems with my instance of Discourse. Although the servers parameters didnt change, and I am able to use them e.g. via simple Python script, the Discourse fails to send emails.

It happened all of a sudden about a month ago after an update. I have rechecked the server parameters, apart from that I'm completely lost.

Here is an error log:
