Is it possible to format the font used for custom navigation links?

I have added a new navigation link called Slideshow by customizing the following code that I found elsewhere on this forum:

<script>
Discourse.ExternalNavItem = Discourse.NavItem.extend({
href : function() {
  return this.get('href');
}.property('href')
});

I18n.translations.en.js.filters.bugs = { title: "Bugs", help: "Open Bugs" };
I18n.translations.en.js.filters.google = { title: "Google", help: "Navigate to Google" };

Discourse.NavItem.reopenClass({
buildList : function(category, args) {
  var list = this._super(category, args);
  if(!category) {
    list.push(Discourse.ExternalNavItem.create({href: '/category/bug', name: 'bugs'}));
    list.push(Discourse.ExternalNavItem.create({href: 'https://google.com', name: 'google'}));
  }
  return list;
}
});
</script>

What I'd like to do is format Slideshow differently from the other navigation links, like maybe a different color, italics, etc. Is this possible? If so, where exactly do I make these changes?

Sending e-mails don't work on signup

@rriemann wrote:

Hey guys,

a forum user made me aware that on our forum, the signup mail is not arriving. This could be related to a recent update. So I updated again yesterday evening to latest master and the problem persists.

Mails work as expected, but Discourse does not send mails for signup or on 'send activation mail' from the admin interface. There is no entry in the sent mails log and no entry in the Discourse error log. However, notifications on replies are sent out as expected. The mail testing in the admin interface works as well.

I hope I just missed a setting somewhere. Otherwise, this is a bug and should be refiled accordingly.

Best,
Robert

Category page & Front page

2 things I would like to do:

  1. I would like the categories page to be the front page (so the front page would not show latest topics anymore)
  2. I would like the single category page not to show any topics, only the subcategories and category guide (see screenshot below)

I think both are possible and very easy to do, but I can't find a way to do it

Launcher cleanup side effect - bad?

I ran launcher cleanup a week or so ago (./launcher cleanup). Today I used launcher for the first time since and got:

PS I do have 1.3.5 in fact. 11 days ago is probably when I did the cleanup.

If I do ./launcher command app --skip-prereqs I can still run the other launcher commands now on the currently running container.

PPS Hey it looks like all is fine now.. I did ./launcher again and no warning message. I guess it was just a glitch.

Gradual migration from vBulletin

@IbnAdam wrote:

I have a large forum and resident members do not like abrupt changes. I am planning to introduce gradual migration to discourse by adding discourse based topics at the end of each thread on current vB forum, and encouraging members to continue the discussion on discourse.

I will need a lot of things for this to work properly.

  1. The current user base will have to be imported, along with forum categories and sections.
  2. New registrations and user logins on current forum should auto-register and auto-login on discourse as well.
  3. I will not import existing threads/post from vB. They are too many and not worth hassle because the users will still be participating on them on vB. Instead, I want to add an iframe at the end of each thread on vB. This iframe will embed a discourse plugin that creates a new topic with the same name on discourse, with the first post containing a OneBox of the current thread on vB. And it will display a note to the users to continue the discussion on the newly created discourse topic.
    If the topic is already created, it will show the current replies there.

I am very new to discourse and I don't know how to implement this. Any suggestions?

3 flags of any kind should auto-hide a post

0

@Drew_Warwick wrote:

Under this behavior, if I understand it correctly, a post can have six flags: two spam, two inappropriate, and two off-topic, and not be hidden. Let's pretend someone posts a page of only "W"s. I consider that spam, so that's what I'd flag it as, but the Discourse description for spam specifically says that spam is an advertisement. So, some people might not flag it as spam and instead flag it as inappropriate or off-topic. Now let's say we have an argument -- do I flag it as spam, off-topic, or inappropriate? On other sites I've been on, spam is synonymous with off-topic. I could flag an argument as any one of those three and technically not be wrong. Then, anything you're flagging whether it be spam or something off-topic is inappropriate, so the inappropriate flag can be used for anything flag-worthy.

Flag categories are a grey area. The same post can fit into multiple categories, and if users don't agree behind-the-scenes and beforehand what they're going to flag the posts as, you can end up with posts past 3 flags up to 6 that aren't hidden. If 3 people flag a post, even for separate reasons, we can still conclude that the post probably isn't a good one, and it should be hidden. In the PM to the poster, the reason can just be something general. Posts with 3 flags of any kind should be hidden automatically.

English locale file not working... causing errors

Steps I've attempted:

Updated to the latest this morning, no luck.

Initially I thought this could be a problem with the cache, so I reset cloudflares cache settings, no luck.

Then I figured it could be a cache issue on discourse, so I entered into discourse, and removed public/assets, and rebuilt, no luck

Then I wanted to know, if the build of the locale is failing, so I checked the build logs for the locale filename, and did a cat on it cat public/assets/locales/en-1474b091722050d87b25821693c2afbeb18c69d06843aec7d568f9a4c0de6bb9.js and it provides the problematic section:

sFinite(r.getFullYear())&&r.setFullYear(e),r}function ge(e){var t=new Date(Date.UTC.apply(null,arguments));return 100>e&&e>=0&&isFinite(t.getUTCFullYear())&&t.setUTCFullYear(e),
t}function fe(e)

This section correlates to these lines of code: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/4eeae880b6c20d0770ab5b6578727da18fa1dcbe/lib/javascripts/moment.js#L1192-L1200

Not sure what else I can do. I have turned cloudflare off for the meantime, so this can be debugged more easily. If it is down, I'm probably doing another rebuild.

Audio and video onebox with the Samsung "Internet for Android" browser

I'm not able to get audio or video file uploads to onebox when I'm using the Android web browser on my phone. The spinner stays stuck at 'Uploading 100%'. This is happening both on my site and on meta. On my site I know the files are being uploaded.

Using the same phone with the Chrome or Firefox browser, everything works as it should. It also works as it should in my local development environment, using the Android browser.

Does anyone have an idea what might be going on with this?

Naming bookmarks

@Drew_Warwick wrote:

Sometimes when I look at a bookmark, I'll think "Why did I even bookmark this?" Just before posting this, I spent an hour trying to find a post only to find that I had already bookmarked it but didn't notice it because of an unrelated topic name (post was a tangent that someone went off on). It'd be great if we were able to name our bookmarks so we could remember why we bookmarked them at a later date and also be able to recognize them for what they are instead of a potentially unrelated topic title. I'd use browser bookmarks, but Discourse's UI is more pleasant to use, and the bookmarks are there regardless of which computer / browser I use.

Discourse vs Slack

We are assessing platforms for team learning online platform.

Basically, we are going to read book(s), share our findings, impressions and will explain to each other what we learned.
Also do code katas and compare our solutions. Now we are learning Clojure programming.

I bootstrapped a version for us to try on http://188.166.34.124/

So Discourse or Slack or something else? Discourse is geared around a
topic and discussion on it. Slack is more of a free form IRC'ish
communication. The way I see it. Perhaps Discourse is a mix of both? IRC
and forum?

Unlisted categories

@erlend_sh wrote:

By now we've dealt with a couple different customers who for various reasons would like to have categories in the thousands. The main scalability problem with regards to categories is the /categories view, e.g. this one:

https://meta.discourse.org/categories

With more than a few hundred categories, this page becomes considerably slower.

To work around this, I'm proposing a new feature called "unlisted categories":

  • An unlisted category would not appear in any of Discourse's category menus, i.e.
    • "all categories" drop-down
    • /categories index
    • right-hand "hamburger".
  • The category still shows up in topic lists and users can click on the category and see all topics within it.

  • Unless the unlisted category has also opted to "Unlist new topics by default", topics posted to an unlisted category are treated as normal will still show up normally on the front page.

  • There should be a site setting to optionally hide the "New Topic" button when you've drilled down into a specific category which happens to be unlisted.
    (or maybe it could be replaced with a ":grey_question:New topic" button that when clicked will explain why you can't post directly via the forum for this particular category.

So the point is that an "unlisted category" won't clutter up any menus, but other than that it works the same as other categories.

Example: WordPress plugin directory

As an example use case, let's say we were building rebuilding the wordpress.org plugin directory with Discourse.

We'd want each plugin to have a dedicated category on the forum so that popular plugins could be discussed in multiple topics and the plugin author(s) could help moderate these discussions. With thousands of plugins, you don't want to expose these categories in any sort of one-page list.

Furthermore, a formal plugin listing would be the primary landing page for a plugin, as opposed to the forum. So when a user arrives on such a page and wants to start a new topic regarding that plugin, we already know which category the user wants to post in, so that doesn't even have to be a decision for the user. All we need to do is let the user post directly to the appropriate category via an API integration or even just a pre-filled topic URL.


Perhaps the biggest question now becomes: If our soft limit on listed categories is "no more than a few hundred, please and thank you", what is the limit for unlisted categories? A few thousand? Tens of thousands? @eviltrout

p.s. In some cases it might be desirable to still make the category available via category search-only, as is in the New Topic category drop-down as well as the #somecategory autocompletion. I'd leave this out of v1 though.
