  1. Go to http://discourse.example.org/my/preferences
  2. Tick the box to "Enable mailing list mode."
  3. Click Yes to "Are you sure you want to be emailed for every new post?"
  4. Choose "Send me an email for every new post" in the associated dropdown menu.
  5. Click Save Changes. Reload the page.

Expected:

  • The "Send me an email for every new post" selection persists.

Actual:

  • The dropdown reverts to "Daily Updates".

Hi there—can someone let me know about watching and sub categories?

My use case:

We have categories and sub categories within them. If someone "watches" a category, does that also mean they are "watching" the sub categories?

How does discourse handle mobile

Can someone explain to me how the mobile view is wired up?

Is there a separate CSS file that goes along with the normal CSS file?

Is it more than just CSS like hiding elements etc. since the mobile view might have less elements on the page?

Discourse for Game Communities

About a week ago we sent out a brief survey to the game-maker segment of our customer base, looking for some insights on how they make the most out of Discourse, and what else they’d like to see added to it. We asked the following 15 discourse communities: Game companies have been some of the biggest Discourse…

[PAID] Customizing the UI of Original Posts for Commenting

@Alan_Foster wrote:

We’re looking for help in customizing the UI of the original post in every discussion thread. This stems from the choice made several years ago to use iFrames for embedding comments rather than full embedding, primarily due to functionality limitations of the JavaScript API.

Our theory is, if you can’t bring the comments to the blog, bring the blog to the comments.

Using Discourse as a Comment Engine for a Blog

The purpose of using iFrames in this case was to try to keep all discussion confined to one relative location, but it seems rather redundant. Basically, this is the system that’s been created:

We wish to create a plugin that allows Discourse to be used as a comment system for any User-Generated Content that isn’t a basic forum post, with full control over the UI of the Original Post. I'm not familiar with Discourse so for all I know something like this already exists, but I couldn't find it after several days of research.

Feel free to share any suggestions on how it could be done, if it's already been done, if it should be done at all, etc.

Can add support like QA system?

What is contained into the variable 'user''session' at login from log_on_user function?

I'm currently building a plugin to create a custom cookie who is set up after a client login into the forum and destroyed after he logout. The plugin will be linked with this function :

 def log_on_user(user, session, cookies)
    unless user.auth_token && user.auth_token.length == 32
        user.auth_token = SecureRandom.hex(16)
        user.save!
    end
    cookies.permanent[TOKEN_COOKIE] = { value: user.auth_token, httponly: true }
    make_developer_admin(user)
    enable_bootstrap_mode(user)
    @env[CURRENT_USER_KEY] = user
end

My question is what are the values of the variables :
- user ?
- session ?

Can i do user.username to get the username or user.username_lower ?

At least a need the username, the API can do the rest :slight_smile:

EDIT

Or maybe i will have more change with the function after_authenticate(auth_token) from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/auth/open_id_authenticator.rb#L11 to get the username after login.

A better "site not available" page

I just loaded this Disourse site and got this:

(I am not asking what happened here - I presume you were rebuilding the docker app or something, it doesn't matter.)

My query is: How are you achieving a nice error page like this? When I rebuild the app, I just get "502 Bad Gateway / nginx", something like

It would be very nice to have a better "site offline" message. Perhaps this isn't the purview of Discourse (since if the app is being rebuilt, the webserver is offline, right?), but if any pointers would be appreciated. :smiley:

Improve GitHub login for private sites

We’re using Discourse at my company for internal discussion; only employees are allowed to access it. Currently I’m using OAuth2 authentication via Box with an email domain whitelist to ensure only employees can log in, and that’s working fairly well because for most (or maybe all) of our employees, our company is the reason they have a Box account, so their company email is their primary email in their Box account.

However, we recently tried to enable GitHub authentication, and that’s a different story. It doesn’t work well in combination with the email domain whitelist, because for some (or maybe most) of our employees, they have a single GitHub account that they use for all their various contexts (personal use, various organizations) — so their affiliation with our GitHub organization is just one aspect of their GitHub account, and their company email address is just one of maybe a few addresses in their email account, and frequently not the primary.

In that case, if the domain whitelist is enabled, then those employees can’t login to our site via GitHub, because the GitHub integration only retrieves and uses their primary email address from their GitHub account, and that frequently conflicts with the whitelist.

It’d be great to possibly enhance the GitHub integration to support this case a little better.

I can think of two ways to approach this:

  • Retrieve all the verified email addresses from the user’s GitHub account and display them all in a dropdown in the registration form and allow the user to choose which one they want associated with their Discourse account
  • Allow me to specify the ID of our GitHub organization in settings, and have the integration verify that the user is indeed a member of that organization, and if so, cool, but if not, then block them. In this case I’d just disable the email domain whitelist.

But of course I’m sure there are other possible approaches.

Thank you!

Why is the flag icon now hidden?

We upgraded to the latest version of discourse, and one of our members immediately noticed that the flag icon is now hidden behind the ellipse.

The ability to flag is one of the most powerful ability of discourse, and one of the reasons we migrated over to it, so I was wondering why the icon is now hidden behind the ellipse, making it another step to have to flag?

Hello,

Recently in our forum, we realized that youtube videos are not integrating, (even all old ones posted, dissappeared), and today we found out that polls show, but dont work. We cant click on them.

Here is a link to the forum, where there is a poll and a video not showing. (The video is under the poll)

We turned off plugins and updated many times, we can only think of the letsencrypt SSL, but we dont know.

Thank you.

[PAID] Importing and custom plugin

Hi,

I have a new discourse droplet at Digital Ocean and I need someone to help me out to get this going.

Here's what I currently need:

  1. I have a private membership site with class lessons inside a Wordpress blog with DISQUS comments below each of these classes. I would like to have a unique topic for each of these posts and then import those existing comments to the matching topic created inside Discourse;
  2. I have also a Xenforo forum that I would like to import inside Discourse.
  3. I have users from that forum that I'd like to import to Discourse as well.
  4. Finally, I'd need a custom plugin that would receive a POST notification from my payment system, and based on the data provided (usually we use 3 fields: token, product_id and offer) create a custom user with a limited time access, like 6 or 12 or 24 months.

I'd specify that timeframe somewhere in the plugin on its code. So for example:

if (token = X AND product_id = Y AND offer = Z6) {6 months access}
if (token = X AND product_id = Y AND offer = Z12) {12 months access}
if (token = X AND product_id = Y AND offer = UL) {Unlimited access}

Something like that.

I don't need just one person to do ALL these tasks. So feel free to quote a price or get in touch to discuss one or more of these tasks.

Thanks!

It's very typical for users to upload images which are screenshots taken on mobile.

Currently the recent changes prevent these mobile screenshots from displaying in a reasonable way.

Cropping to the top of the image is undesirable, unexpected and considered "broken" by users.

Additional notes

Please also consider adding a visual indicator on the smaller image when it has been cropped.
