Safe to delete postgres_data_old?
@kcoop wrote:
Running low on disk space, discovered 5.5Gb postgres_data_old in /var/discourse/shared/standalone. File dates at least a few weeks old.
See it referenced in a few places here, guessing it's part of a backup that's no longer needed. Is it safe to delete?

Badge SQL can no longer be edited by default
@sam wrote:
Starting from Discourse 1.6 badge sql can no longer be edited by admins unless explicitly enabled.
This change was made for a couple of reasons
Security: allowing admins to enter SQL directly allows them raw access to the database, generally we are opting that raw access to the database from the web UI is a feature you opt-in for. Even though the queries only return user_ids, an admin attacker can discover any information in the database using badge queries. If column A of table Y has the letter A in it return user_id 1 else 2.
Performance: getting badge SQL "just right" is an art, it is not something that is trivial for admins to do correctly. There is huge amount of risk that people who are not experts can create enormous load on a database by entering bad SQL
You can still get full authoring access by running:
./launcher enter app rails c > SiteSetting.enable_badge_sql = trueIf you are a Discourse customer, contact @team and we will enable it for you if needed.
SiteSetting.enable_badge_sql = false(the default) disables all new badge SQL authoring. Existing badges will continue to work just fine with the SQL you have created. You can safely disable badge SQL after authoring your required badges for extra safety.

Updated Discourse, broke my app.yml?
@eisbaerBorealis wrote:
A few months ago I installed a very basic Discourse forum. I forgot about it for a while and a few days ago I did the in-browser update at the request of the admin alert (my forum is currently down, so I'm afraid I can't supply screenshots or exact quotes of what happened). I refreshed the page, and the "please update" alert was still there. I went to the update page and it said I needed to do an update via command line; ssh into the server and use the following commands:
cd /var/discourse/ git pull ./launcher rebuild appI did so, and got the following error:
(<unknown>): did not find expected key while parsing a block mapping at line 40 column 3 -e LANG=en_US.UTF-8 YAML syntax error. Please check your containers/*.yml config files.I did not change the app.yml file, and the forum was working fine before the update; now "this site can't be reached" and "refused to connect". Nothing looks out of place in my app.yml file. I've tried using http://www.yamllint.com/, but that hasn't helped. I've messed around with the whitespace and managed to get a valid .yml file, but the resulting near-empty .yml file hasn't brought back the forum.
I've also tried
apt-get clean ./launcher cleanup app ./launcher rebuild appWhich doesn't work, either.
Here's the app.yml file. I'm pretty sure I've removed any sensitive information.

I'm not sure if a fresh install would wipe out the users and threads, or if where that data is stored so that I could back it up.

Can we have page specific css classes?

Currently we have css classes like
desktop-view not-mobile-device no-touchfor html tagLike this can we have page specific css classes in html tag or in any other tag like
#main-outletdiv? For example.homeclass in home page and.category.supportcss class in 'support' category.It will give many possibilities to customize display via css. For example I can hide 'New Topic' button in home only via below simple css
.home #create-topic { display: none; }It will helpful when using jQuery css selectors too.

Error after rebuilding the launcher

this means I have lack of space on the host, but then when i look at the host-space it's something like this:
and
is the problem no-space problem or can anyone help me with this please?
two weeks ago i could rebuild the forum without problem, but i can't do this now. and our forum has not evolved that much during this 2 weeks. so i don't suppose anything should happen

Discourse server FQDN & email settings help?
@Mattzees wrote:
Hello World,
I've got a Discourse server running at home for testing purposes (it looks awesome, btw) but I'm confused about how to configure the FQDN and email settings. I had to gain access to an administrative account through the command line, so that's done, but I still need to get email working.
Here's the situation:
Discourse server is on my home LAN.
The hostname = myhomeserverI have a email account configured with my webhost for the server to access in order to send out confirmation emails. This email account is tested and working, so I know the problem is not with the account or my webhosting company. Let's call this account "admin@mywebhost.com"
I have a FQDN via Dynamic DNS that I can use to make the Discourse server reachable from the WAN. Let's call it "myFQDN.com"
How do I configure Discourse to use an email account at "mywebhost.com", but be reachable at "myFQDN.com"?
I apologize if this is super easy, but I'm not getting it. Thanks.

How to search for special characters like `:=`
@pluranium wrote:
Hi - we use Discourse for our forum web site http://forum.skookumscript.com/. It's for a programming language, so users want to occasionally search for special characters sequences like
:=. This does not seem to work. Also reducing the min search term length to 1 does not seem to help. Is there a way to search for special characters like that? Thanks!

Event Listeners for footer loaded
@e_division wrote:
Hi! I was looking through old forum posts looking for a way to listen for page loads, specifically the footer but found possible outdated or deprecated solutions. The problem I am facing is that there is no current way of embedding javascript into the footer and need to be able to target some items within the footer which is why I thought of trying to listen for some type of event that is fired after the footer is loaded.
Is the footer unloaded and then reloaded on every content refresh or is it always there after the initial load?
The solution I found involved tapping into the Discourse.View.reopen({...}) method. Is there something similar in Discourse in it's current iteration?

What's the best way to "like" part of a post?
@Drew_Warwick wrote:
Liking shows you agree with a post, saving you the trouble of posting a duplicate and clogging up the topic. But what if you only like part of a post? Someone might say something that I really agree with, but in the same post say something I extremely disagree with. I don't want to like the post and make it seem as if I also agree with the portion I disagree, so what should I do?
Normally I just quote the part I do like and then say I agree with it, and now other people who only agreed with that part can like my post to show their support for that bit instead of liking a post that contains something they strongly disagree with. But is there a better way to do this? I'm still posting something that's a duplicate of existing content in the thread.

Can users post anonymously without logging in? (And, if so, can you require acceptance of site Terms of Use before posting?
@cll321 wrote:
Backstory: I'm launching a Worldpress blog for certain types of new lawyers. I'd like to use Discourse (as opposed to bbPress, etc.) for a related web forum where users can carry on conversations related to posts and ask their own questions, etc. I'd like to allow users to post in the forum without logging in. Is that possible? (A lot of these young lawyers won't want to give any personal details in case their firms wouldn't appreciate what they have to say. Not that I'd share any information with them anyway, but I'm worried about driving away potential contributors all the same.)
If that can be done, is it possible to require those same anonymous posters to accept (check a box) my site's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy before posting? (You can accomplish this with bbPress using some WP plugins. For a few reasons, I'm committed to requiring this of everyone before they contribute any content to the blog or forum.)
Thanks so much!

When does the "System" user read topics?
@Tyler_Humphress wrote:
Working with the API and I'm curious both what the 'unseen' entails for topics, and when the system user "reads" a topic? I'm looking to posting new threads to a Discord server and was going to base it off of the unseen bool, though I'm thinking unseen is also back to true when someone else posts in the topic, and I'm thinking using system as the api username is a bad idea since there's no guarantee it'll see a topic that has yet to be posted.

Tag intersections page
@gdpelican wrote:
I'm currently working with @bedhed in the preliminary stages of working on the bidirectional nav / Table of Contents features described here.
One slightly large piece missing from this work is a page which could display an 'intersection' of tags, (ie, topics which have both the 'pr-welcome' and 'votes-friendly' tags). A mockup is here:
Two questions:
- Is this a change that would be welcome / tolerated in core, if it were true that it didn't change any existing functionality? (This strikes me as a change which is easier to make in core, rather than in a plugin)
- (if no) Are there folks out there that would be interested in this functionality as its own separate plugin, rather than bundled up with the Table of Contents stuff?

[usergallery]@group1[/usergallery]and have it automatically display a selection of users including key user card info like picture, name, title, country.

- Disable "Watch the first post"
Everything appears to be fine.
BUT...- Press F5, to refresh your browser.
- And you will see that the icon from "Watching first post" again.
![:frowning:]( ":frowning:")
