Super impressed with Discourse's development cycle

I just wanted to add that I am super impressed with Discourse's development cycle and the work everyone does for it. I discovered a bug yesterday, reported it last night, and today the bug fix is already live on my website. And yesterday, I was surprised to see OpenSearch working on my website after my pull request with OpenSearch improvements was so quickly merged.

I contributed for a number of years to the slow development of Simple Machines Forum, and I'm already convinced that Discourse is a far superior product, but I'm getting so inspired by the community here. I'm not very adept at Ruby (yet), but I hope to delve deeper into Discourse and contribute where I can.

Fantastic work, guys. Keep it up.

Question over Private Messaging

@Ric_W wrote:

Hi,
We currently have a setup of discourse at the moment which is replacing a mailing list

One question I've got, is it possible for the server to recieve emails and process them as private messages?
such as messages sent to list+username@domain.com

One of the features we're looking for is to replace the FROM address field for emails sent out
so that the address of the sender instead of the list email address is seen instead
The Reply-To address should remain as the list email address
This should bring things more inline with RFC2822.

I've noticed this plugin which I might be able to adapt to do this

https://github.com/tareko/discourse-replyto-individual

However one of the things we want to do is give a user an option of exposing they're real email address in the FROM field
or expose a different address which just allows for private messaging without exposing they're real address

How would one control logout/login with SSO?

I have discourse running on a subdomain and I have 4 cases that need to be taken care of for seamless login/logout from both domains... I have been reading all I can on here but I am unsure about the proper approach to take...So I thought it would be best to ask for some help from someone more experienced with the app...

1. (solved with SSO) User clicks login from discourse, is routed to main domain login page

2. User clicks logout from discourse (I have set logout redirect to my main domain logout page but it requires a post request and the user to click another button to logout which leaves things fragmented)

  • option 1: Make custom javascript in the customize section to post to the proper URL (csrf cookies shared on my subdomain) unfortunately I cannot get this to work as I cannot select the logout link with jquery because it is inserted by other javascript (it seems)
  • option 2: delete the cookie that is shared from the main domain, unfortunately I also need to bind this option with the logout event and I cannot do that because of the stated javascript problems in option 1

3. (Solved) User clicks login from the main domain, they should be auto-logged into discourse so they do not have to click login or avatar

  • make my main domain hit the sso url when a login occurs or only when the user decides to navigate to the forum?

4. (Solved) User clicks logout from the main domain, they should also be logged out from discourse

  • my site needs to hit /admin/users/{user_id}/logout be POSTed to from the main domain to log someone out?

Either I got a lot faster or my Discourse got slower recently. Speed times are like these. Is this normal for a 1GB Digital Ocean installation with the recommended swap file?

I updated Linux yesterday, did a clean up - to no avail: http://www.nensch.de/

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Add one-click social sharing icons directly to the post

@AshishS wrote:

I do know that there has been discussion on this earlier also. But still creating a fresh thread :

  1. As discourse gets (more) popular, it will move beyond tech communities. And that community needs visual sharing icons (not the ones hidden under the current icon).

  2. It's not just about on-site engagement. Social is important.
    To quickly share, our social sharing has dropped by 90% after we moved to discourse - because people aren't able to find the sharing icons. There is no virality (visually speaking) no matter how useful the content is.
    Ditto with mobile site / social sharing.

  3. I do know @codinghorror 's explanation that people share via copy/pasting URLs. It might work well with Stackexchange sort of community (geeks), but not with everyone else.

  4. 1-click please ? Sharing is an instant feature. The current implementation mandates discovery (of the icon), which is quite painful + another click. For a new age system, this isn't the ideal implementation.

TLDR : It's time to revisit Social Sharing feature. If somebody has cracked it better (by displaying the icons directly instead of the current implementation), please point / share the details.

How to disable "Force SSL" using Console?

@Hammad_Abbasi wrote:

I have checked this flag and removed SSL (as it was not working with multi-site) but after this change my first domain still redirects to HTTPS which is now broken.

So I believe it was due to this property and I want to disable it from rails console but can't find this property in SiteSettings variable

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Showing translation keys for missing .few translations

@jako512 wrote:

In some languages there are more than only .one and .other translations for texts with count. For example in Slovak for counts from 2 to 4 there is translation key with suffix .few.
In this case if there is missing slovak translation, the key is displayed itself instead of english default because there is no .few translation in english.

Is it possible to display english .other translation instead of key itself when .few translation is missing ?

Is there a way to include a redirect after an SSO login?

0
0

@deltaskelta wrote:

I would like to be able to login users on the forum when they login to my main site without having to include /session/sso in the forum link.

The reasons for this are that I will be linking to specific parts of the discourse instance from other places in my site. So if I want to link to forum.mysite.com/some/path, then the user will not be logged in there and I cannot easily log them in without them having to click on the avatar or login link.

Is is possible to include a redirect in the sso_login process somewhere that I missed, so I can log the user in when a main site login happens and then redirect them to somewhere on the main site?

Coffeescript vs Javascript

I got to know that discourse was using a hybrid Coffeescript platform.
I found this Topic created by @sam back in 2013, where I got to know a lot of views from experienced developers.

as at 2016, I was wondering whether coffeescript will further improve the language or will it become obsolete. (is coffeescript a language worth learning?)

Looking for your opinions on this matter. (btw any typescript devs here?)

but that didn't fix it.

Curate a custom RSS Feed?

I've recently connected my rss feed to a twitter digest, which works beautifully as intended. It now has me wondering if I can create my own rss feed somehow that has a few basic filters for curation, particularly to only pull from certain categories?

I'm currently using the top.rss, and would rather it not also include the topics posted in my own "meta/help" section of the site.

Thanks!

Email address already in use - override?

@TheTechnobear wrote:

Hi,

I have a user that is trying to change their email, and gets the message that the email is already in use.

Ive checked all active users, and there the email is not in use (and its not blocked etc)

I think the issue is, there was originally an account using this email, that I deleted (without anonymising)

here is what happened, I why I believe this is the case (obviously with example data only)
- the user created an account bob, with email bob@hotmail.com
- they used this for a while creating posts
- then they decided they wanted a different username called bobman.... so created an account called bobman , with email bobman@abc.com

at this point, they told me (moderator/admin)

I discussed it with them, and since they had made no posts on the new account (bowman), so we decided the best idea was to actually rename the original account (bob) - the user had not known this was possible

SO (and this is where it goes wrong!)
- I deleted the bobman account
- changed the bob account to bobman,
- he then tried to change the email to bobman@abc.com which is the one he wanted, but he cannot as he is told the email address is in use

I know now, I should have anonymised the bobman account first, but I thought it was unnecessary since it was being deleted..

so I think the issue is, I think its the deleted account that retains the email so he cannot use it... and unfortunately as its deleted I cannot access it to anonymise it.

is this a bug? is there a workaround?

Thanks for your help...

Expanding on location field

I know this is probably plugin territory but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on expanding the location function. We would like to make it easier for users to be able to interact with others in a close physical locality to others. We want to introduce a medium to allow people to be able to meet offline where they are but with the current functionality of location it's only a text field so anyone could put anything in and without asking you don't know if the person you are talking to online is near you or not.

Hope that makes sense
