Beta testing the iOS mobile app
@sam wrote:
I have been hacking away at a simple notifier app for iOS.
What about Android? Once I get this out I would like to also port the native parts to Android, it should not take too long there are only a few minor tweaks needed. (in particular a native RSA pub/private key library and some internal reorg). The app is built in react native which has been quite fun. It is mostly cross platform with the exception of some minor native components.
I created it mainly to help resolve a few personal pains I have had.
I track lots of Discourse sites, I forget to visit quite a few
My email box is out of control, push notification are far less obtrusive to me cause I don't need to delete them, they simply go away when the app badge hits 0 (which is by design for all iOS apps).
I am mobile ... all the time ... especially this year.
I like having all my sites together in one app, I like the iOS badges that show how many notifications I have unread across sites.
The source for the app is at: https://github.com/samsaffron/discoursemobile and I got a bunch of UI help from https://github.com/jjaffeux
The app keeps track of flags, unread counts and alerts across multiple sites. It also allows you to quickly browse any site using Safari View Controller (which is the exact same Safari you use anyway)
It takes advantage of the user API, this ensures that the app behaves, if it misbehaves it will be throttled by Discourse.
I have reached far enough into my dev process to warrant some beta testing. So here are some notes:
I did the majority of my dev on iPhone, on iPad there is tons of white space, but it does work.
Apple Background Fetch is an odd beast, in theory it should regularly fetch from our sites, in practice it is very finicky. I have a workaround I will get going next week, but in the meantime if you wake up in the morning and the badge is not updated, it is cause background fetch is ... weird... I left a "dev panel" at the bottom of the app so you can quickly tell what has been going on. see also: this 500 point bounty I have going.
You can not reorder sites yet, that is on the list and should be implemented soon
Sites we do not host do not get "push notifications" we have to whitelist every site for push notifications and give them a magic URL to push to. They get "fake" push notifications on background fetch, but no real ones.
App was designed for minimum networking. When looking at the site list every 15 seconds the app hits message_bus, when looking at a site it hits every minute. This route is super duper cheap and designed for huge amounts of hits. All updates for the app after it loads are handled via the bus.
App is at the moment undergoing approval for beta and should be ready soon.
If you would like to help beta test reply here and I will invite you.

Is there any way to exclude/whitelist certain topics from the category auto-close?
Perhaps we could whitelist certain topic tags from being auto-closed globally and/or per category?

Fix published date and author for topics created via wp-discourse-embed plugin

I recently installed

Pointers for building a plugin for browser fingerprinting
@carmalonso wrote:
Based on the discussion from my thread:
I decided to try my hand at building a plugin that would help prevent suspended users from returning by blocking their browser fingerprint (see panopticlick.eff.org). My plan for this plugin involves:
calculating a browser's fingerprint on plugin initialise (using the FingerprintJS2 JavaScript library)
save it to the database based on the user's id if it doesn't already exist (there should be a single object per each fingerprint tied to the user - we capture every unique fingerprint a user logs in with to prevent access to all device in the future)
on load, query by the calculated fingerprint to see if it is blocked; perform a similar action to an IP block if this is the case, or allow the user to access the site if they're not blocked.
I've made a bit of progress below:
https://github.com/carmichaelalonso/discourse-fingerprint-bansNow the tough part for me is the fact I'm completely new to Ember and Rails, so this is taking a bit of getting used to. I've based this on other plugins (such as the discourse-staff-notes plugin) to help get a good structure and to learn how this stuff all works.
In
plugin.rb, I believe I've set up a model interaction layer. The model is called by thesaveFingerprintfunction in/assets/javascripts/controllers/fingerprint.js.es6, and I'm trying to call this function (exported as an action) from the initializerfingerprint.js.es6file.From what I've gathered, this is theoretically how I'd call the
saveFingerprintfunction from the initializer:
However,
thisis undefined (expected) and I'm not sure how this is declared.I'd welcome any input/contributions from someone a bit more experienced as to how I should go about this and how

What are the recommended Tools/setup config for Q&A Community based on Discourse?
@Yassine_Yousfi wrote:
Hi,
I have now 2 discourse installations, both of them are meant to be "Q&A discussion community websites", but on different Topics, Both websites though are on the broad Niche of IT & Computing.
So i have this question, since Discourse fits most to Forums, How can i m websites become successful Q&A discussion communities based on Discourse!
I've used before different platforms/frameworks to built the communities, such as Question2Answer and custom built Asp.net ones, but i see discourse has great potential but i can't find the plugins, or the ultimate setup that should work for a Q&A.
P.S. I've already installed the "Best Answer" plugin, it's good.
Regards
Edit:
Guys @codinghorror & @sam i think you have quite some experience on IT Q&Aas i believe you are coming from Stackoverflow :), your ideas will be really appreciated.

Colored usernames
@Drakon_Dawn wrote:
So I've seen xenforo forum software has an option for people to set colored usernames for others and like a marketplace plugin for users to buy those cosmetic perks, does discourse have this? if not could it be implemented?
For example I want the color red on a discourse forum. I buy it through a paypal integration or just direct pay the owner for it, and the system or owner will set the color to red for me. so my username will look red everywhere on the forum

Mobile view "jump to page number" feature
@needhelp wrote:
Hi All, the mobile responsive for Discourse works very well, but can the "jump to page number" feature be enhanced with a slider that allows users to slide like it is on the desktop view?
The "jump to page number" feature is not particularly user friendly because you have to enter a page number in order to navigate away from the current page, it would be so much better with a slider that we can just touch and slide with 1 finger to navigate away from the current page.
Thanks

Fixed header and address bar minimize on mobile version: how do you obtain that?
@robypez wrote:
Hello everybody and sorry for my question, even if is marginally related to Discourse. We have developed the mobile version of our website www.dday.it and of course we have forum.dday.it integrated into the mobile version. I notice that when I use Discourse on iPhone or Android the address bar of the browser change size or disappear when I scroll the content, but on my website I cannot obtain the same effect.
I assume that the problem is my fixed header, but also in Discourse we have the fixed header. So why with Discourse the address bar change size and with my website no?I have to obtain the same behaviour and I'm getting crazy? What's the secret?

Email won't send through sendgrid
@irondev wrote:
Hello, I have discourse set up on my centOS 7 server and it's running and I can get to it in a subfolder.
My SMTP is going through sendgrid and two days ago it worked but had about a 10minute delay. Now however, when I try to send a test email I just get errors. I was using un/pw for my sendgrid account and trying to test an email send gave an error and I just switched to the api key where I have the string name of my apikey as the username and the apikey as the hpassword and it still isn't working.
Where can I check the smtp logs through discourse....
I get a not authorized when I try to check domain.com/forums/logs even when I'm logged in as the admin.

Cannot change background color of topic body

I have written a plugin and would like to be able to change the background color of the first topic body.
I am able to do this for certain element "within" the topic body, but for some weird reason NOT for the topic body itself.
var light_blue = '#87ceeb', // Topic pages start with "/t/*" if (/\/t\//.test(url)) { var first_post_body = $('.topic-body:first'); if (first_post_body.length) { // This does NOT work, only the border changes byt NOT the background. first_post_body.css({ border: '8px solid '+light_blue, backgroundColor: light_blue, }); // This works first_post_body.find('.topic-meta-data').css({ backgroundColor: light_blue, color: '#222' }); // This works, too first_post_body.find('.cooked').css({ backgroundColor: light_blue, color: '#222' }); } }

Incoming mail is rejected if in-reply-to a post in a non-accessible thread even if sent to a group inbox
@fefrei wrote:
As recommended by @mpalmer, here's a bug report for a phenomenon that caused some confusion for me:
How to reproduce:
- Produce a messaging topic T that is inaccessible to user A, but deliver a mail from that topic to this user without Discourse knowing, e.g. by replying to the topic via mail and CCing a mailing list containing user A. (See here for a description of a real-world occurrence of this.)
- As user A, reply to this message, addressing it to the group inbox address of group G. Use a mail client that adds an
In-Reply-Toheader to do this.Expected behavior:
Discourse creates a new message between group G and user A. (It may try to post a reply in topic T instead because it sees the
In-Reply-Toheader, but falls back to the new message because user A lacks permissions for a reply.)Actual behavior:
Discourse sees the
In-Reply-Toheader and tries to post a reply from user A in topic T. Because A lacks permissions to do so, Discourse sends him an email explaining that the topic was probably closed or deleted, and does not deliver that message.
