Question about "What do trust levels do"?


Setting title with API?

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working with a company and we would like to explore programmatically setting the title.

It would work a little like this:

  • The user would authenticate with their same account for the service.
  • We would have a custom plugin that would look up the respective data in the service we want to set for the title and then automatically set that title in their account on Discourse.

Is this possible with the current Discourse API?

Accessing the store, e.g. users

@kgish wrote:

I was wondering what the standard way is in order for plugins to access the discourse user store, for example you want to display the avatar or other general information about a certain user.

var storeMain = api.container.lookup('store:main');
var users = storeMain.find('user');

However, this doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Lack of information about why user is banned and no notification while unbanning

Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new here, so if something was already explained and I didn't find it, please guide me there :slight_smile:

1) A user was automatically banned by the system. I suppose it's because he wrote his first post too fast and "auto block fast typers on first post" kicked in. The problem is that after opening Logs - Staff actions, I indeed have information about "block user" action, but no Details. Is there possibility to retrieve those Details and confirm my thoughts? And what are the user actions which may lead to his auto blocking?

2) While user was blocked, he received information as Notification and as Message. But when was manually unblocked by admin, he received only a Message. Any idea why Notification wasn't sent?

Thank you for your help :slight_smile:

Wrong position of flair avatar in mobile view

What's the best way to branch off a discussion from a topic?

We have one topic where new community members are introducing themselves and I'm seeing lots of cases where I'd like to get into a more in-depth conversation on a tangent to the thread topic.

If I reply to a comment, it shows up nicely under a 1 Reply link, but also at the end of the topic. I'm unsure how notifications work in this case, but it seems like things might get too chatty if I go through and respond to each new member in the same thread.

Is there a recommended way to reply to an existing discussion about a new topic? I thought there might be a feature to reply as a new topic, and I searched around for it. Seems like this feature may have existed previously but has since been removed.

So I have two questions:

  1. If I go through and reply and have lots of tangential conversations with the users introducing themsleves in one topic, will it create a ton of irrelevant notification noise for everyone on the thread?

  2. Is there a way to reply to a post as a new topic? If not, as a feature how do you approach this case?

No email notifications for posts that require approval

@tkrunning wrote:

Continuing the discussion from Get notified of new topics, but not posts:

We're having issues with only some new topics generating emails to people watching a particular category.

Thanks @eviltrout for having a look at this initially. After some additional debugging it seems the issue is not related to to "Watching first post" users only, but also users that are "Watching" the category. However, it seems to be working for mailing list mode users, as well as for people watching that particular thread.

I think the issue is related to posts ending up in the moderation queue. We currently moderate the first 5 posts a new users submits (approve post count = 5), and previously we also had "approve unless trust level = 2", but turned that off now for debugging:

I would expect that once a post in the moderation queue is approved, that it would trigger the same email notifications as if it was posted without being subject to moderation. But that does not seem to be the case.

Currently:
- If a post is not subject to moderation: Triggers all expected email notifications (mailing list, watching category, watching first post, watching topic)
- If a post is subject to moderation: After being approved, only trigger some email notifications: (mailing list, watching topic)

I assume this is a bug?

Can't login after setting up Discourse (No Email)

After installing Discourse using DigitalOcean, I wasn't getting the email I was suppose to get.

Although I used the SMTP information from Hostgator when prompted. (While setting up Discourse) but it didn't work.

"Secure SMTP:
Username: Full email address.
Password: The password for the address you wish to access.
Mailserver/ Server Hostname: mail.yourdomain.com
Port: 465
SSL: SSL/TLS
Authentication: Normal Password Authentication"

The domain I used is lsgforums.com (which haven't been updated quite yet since I've just changed the Name Servers a couple hours ago. https://gyazo.com/25a062b38f785b9858cacb07ba4d4da8

Although, I did found a good website after finding some information about needing a mail server and set up a Mailgun account. It is successfully connected to my Discourse droplet now.
https://gyazo.com/a3f4e29f861b5961b8cfc7e81ad7b22a

I'm not sure how I can change the email information after configuring the Discourse in Putty/FileZilla.

I found some information that could be in the (app.yml) file.

But I'm afraid to mess anything up and don't know what to change in the file. Hopefully someone can help me clear this up. Really want my company to use this amazing software.

Installation problem with Discourse

@john3 wrote:

Hi,

I was trying to install discourse. But it seems like Discourse install its web server etc. However, I wanted to make discourse work on Nginx, the one I installed.

Response I got:
`Port 80 appears to already be in use.

If you are trying to run Discourse simultaneously with another web
server like Apache or nginx, you will need to bind to a different port

See https://meta.discourse.org/t/17247 `

So, is it possible I install discourse maybe without docker? or on my own web server using nginx etc?

Troubleshooting spam issue with SendGrid - email notifications arriving in junk folders

@Nick_Putman wrote:

Hi,

I have discourse set up with SendGrid, and most users are experiencing issues with notifications from the forum going into spam/junk folders. I have SPF, DKIM and DMARC records set up on my server.

I think the issue is related to SendGrid, but I'm not sure. I am wondering if there is a way of manually sending emails from discourse to junk/spam checking services such as Is Not Spam, SpamScoreChecker, etc. I suppose I could add new users using the email addresses linked to these services, create a group for these users, and then post content in this group, but I am wondering if there is a simpler way?

I am also wondering about people's experience of SendGrid and whether I need to be looking to another service?

Thanks,

Nick

SSO Avatars not updating as expected

@Becky_Herndon wrote:

In our environment, users can change their avatar any time they want. They change it by re-dressing their 3D character. When they're done re-dressing we render the 3D character and save a new avatar image. During the rendering process we briefly set the avatar as an "N/A" icon.

We seem to have 2 problems:

  1. Discourse is detecting the change in avatar and picking up the N/A icon, but not detecting new avatar that is generated soon after. This means users who change their avatar can end up stuck with the N/A icon. Caching issue?

  2. Users who access our discourse from certain mobile/tablet devices have their avatars switch to N/A for no apparent reason. They did not change their appearance.

User experiences of problem 2:
"I logged in from my iPad while still logged in on my pc and it seems I lost my avatar. I haven't updated my character appearance in a while, so I'm not sure why it couldn't get the image."

"When I login to the dev forums from my Nexus 6p, it nulls my avatar on the dev forum. It comes back once I re-login on web."


Many users are able to "fix" the problem by fully logging out of discourse and ROBLOX, then log back into both. If they just log out of discourse and back in the problem is not always fixed.

This is happening so much our users are complaining. It ends up looking like this on our site (3 different N/A poster avatars). They can't tell who is posting.

Our settings:
sso overrides avatar is ON
allow uploaded avatars is OFF
automatically download gravatars is OFF

More example N/A avatars:

I made a jsFiddle that demos my idea to make a video of an aquarium play as the background of my reef enthusiasts forum.

Could anyone tell me the best way to quickly try this out using existing divs with CSS tweaks only. I have a hunch it may be too much and don't want to go hacking at things adding extra divs etc.

Migrating old forum to Discourse - concern about digest mails

0

@mbajur wrote:

That's a post extracted from one of my posts posted in phpbb import script topic. It was ignored there so i decided to create a separate topic for it cause i think it might be pretty interesting to someone.

Here is the thing. My forum has 12869 users. I know that discourse sends a digest mails for users that was not online for some time. Does it mean that, after turning discourse/sidekiq on after import, it will send 12k digest mails to everyone each week? Or is there any "last active at" limit for user digests (i mean, user will receive digest only if he was active in less than, say, 2 months) ?

The thing is that forum was pretty active some time ago but it died a bit (mainly because of using a phpbb hehe) so the user base is huge but there are not so many active users right now. I don't want to waste my money and mandrill usage limits just to send digest to users that was not online since 2006.

Thanks in advance!
