Onebox to Gist fails horribly


First list item number floating into SPACE

  1. Go to the pfSense download mirror page

  2. Select a nearby mirror and download the latest appropriate image. For this hardware and a 4GiB CF card, it will be: pfSense-<VERSION>-RELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd.img.gz

  3. Write the image to the CF card with the command:

    zcat pfSense-<VERSION>-RELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/path/to/cfcard bs=64K

^^^ the above renders fine on desktop, but on mobile the 1. is floating off to the right.

I would like to upload my profile picture
In order to do so,
I was forced to create one more internet account (Gravatars) which i think i will never use again.
I think most forum user would not feel comfortable with this approach.

Should we switch to Docker?

I saw that the Ubuntu installation/upgrade guide on git was deprecated, which made me concerned about future support for our installation. Should we consider switching to Docker, or can we stay where we're at and expect that upgrades will work properly?

We're running DB and redis separately, and it looks like Docker packages them all into one container. If we were to split them out, would that break Docker upgrades?

How should subcategory show its parent category?

Kane York wrote:

Here's something I hacked together in Chrome's inspect element/developer console:

<td class="category">
  <span class="badge-category" style="background-color: #e9dd00; color: #000000; padding: 5px 7px;"><a href="/category/bug" class="badge-category" title="Bug reports on Discourse. Do be sure to search prior to submitting bugs. Include repro steps, and only describe one bug per topic please." style="
    padding-left: 0;
    color: #000000;
">bug</a><a style="
    background-color: green;
    padding: 2px 3px;
    /* font-size: 90%; */
" class="badge-category">complete</a>
</span>
</td>

I think that this - including the parent category name - would help for several workflows, not the least of which is that shown above (bug tracking).

I was prompted to do this by the wart in this topic:

[REL] Cheat Mod by kristof1104

Hi Everyone, I got bored and decided to make a cheat mod for Game Dev Tycoon. Using the mod to cheat will prevent your savegame from getting corrupt. Features: 0.1.1 - Add Money - Add Research Points - Add Fans - Add Dream Team ( Fill your team with Expert Teammembers) 0.1.2: - Move To Final level ( Hardware and RnD lab included) 0.1.3: - Ability to add AAA research 0.1.4 - Move in Time function, you can now goto any date in the game. 0.1.6 - Money can now be added By 1M, 10M, 20M - ...

See that [REL] in the title there? Yeah. That's ugly. I think it would be better if they could use a category like this:

(Modding: Release as opposed to "Modding: discussion", etc.)

We should probably have some subcategories here on Meta to do testing of the codepaths for subcategories...

For example, the "bug: open" and "bug: complete" categories featured above, where "bug: complete" has permissions of everyone can reply/see. (Actually, does that forbid moving topics into the category? I'll test and report back...)

If there is only one auth method is it possible to skip the modal to login

eriko wrote:

So our site is setup as a closed garden and uses only CAS auth so the Log In modal is not really of any use. How hard would it be to:

  • Tell the ember app to just use the only auth method if there is only one.
  • Have plugin do the same if the setting is set in the plugin.

If it does not seem that hard and seems like a good idea can you point me to to where I could start working on a PR.

Paid Theming: just CSS, graphics setup already done

Andrew Mohebbi wrote:

Usually I'd do this myself, but I have a whole bunch of things come up at the same time and I can do CSS, but I'm no pro.

This shouldn't take much time for someone who has worked in Discourse because I have a pretty specific idea of what I'd like it to look like.

I already have the graphics setup: large logo, icon logo, favicon, apple toch icon, and system icon.

Drop me a message. The sooner you can do this the better. I was hoping to have the forum already launched by now, but the theme among other things still need to be finished.

Thanks!

Noscript tag and some search engines

Anton Batenev wrote:

Yandex is the biggest search engine in Russia but it doesn't index content inside html tag noscript. Due to that forum isn't indexed by crawler, only topic headers but not topics. Maybe some of other local search engines in other countries may follow the same indexing policy. Here's an example for bad indexing meta forum - no content snippets.

Now I can do ugly global hack in app/views/layouts/application.html.erb - replace noscript tag with div:

<style type="text/css">#noscript { display:none; }</style>
<noscript>
  <style type="text/css">#noscript { display:block; }</style>
</noscript>

<section id='main'>
  <div id='noscript'>
     ...
  </div>
</section>

But I'd like to do this hack only for one User-Agent which contains +http://yandex.com/bots string and leave original good template for normal search engines like Google trollface. Is it possible?

Reddit Style picture thumbnail on the left

Leung Aaron wrote:

I would like discourse to have this feature :

On the left hand side of each post , there is a thumbnail showing the 1st uploaded / linked picture.

The thumbnail doesn't need to be large, for example Reddit is just using a 70px size thumbnail.

This can let readers get more interested by have a sneak preview of what's inside the thread by attractive graphics.

( Of course, this should be set as an option, so any admin who doesn't like this function can enable / disable at will )

LiveLeak.com embedding?

I know that there are terrible content and guts on top. But despite this we use a lot of content there. Integration of these videos, which are now displayed as a link, it would be excellent.

By the way, I wanted to point out that the idea to create thumbnails of content (photos / video) in the first post is excellent (like on reddit). Someone mentioned it - it's a good idea!

I'm currently looking for a forum for my website. Discourse is amazing and I will give you a kidney for these two functions!

Installing plugins on Docker install

Loving the new Docker install, setting it up and migrating from the old Ubuntu setup was a breeze. I really enjoy the new setup.

One question I have is how I can install plugins that will survive the destroy/bootstrap process. I'm still kinda confused on how that actually works. I really want to get the spoiler plugin back on my site.

Thanks!

Moderator action "posts" don't stand out enough

FichteFoll wrote:

I did mention this about a year ago, but it was inside of another thread and not the core topic, even though it deserves to be one.

Using this topic as an example, you can see a bunch of "moderative posts" (which is what I'll call them) that tell you that something has been done. They look like normal posts and they are written in the first person perspective, but they are not normal posts, and I feel like the yellow background is not enough to tell that "action has taken place". It was worse when the background was a slight blue.

So, why is this a problem? Well, I currently see two issues with this:

  1. As I saw these the first time I immediately thought: "Why do these people create such a lengthy post for closing a thread?" I know it's common practice to announce who closed a thread so that users know where to address their complaints (I moderated a community for a while), but in that case this is a lot redundant information.
  2. It looks like a normal post and not like something created automatically. You can even like it or bookmark it - or flag and reply to it. I guess being able to reply is reasonable since it opens a public discussion about a moderator decision, but all the other stuff is unnecessary and even that is not really useful in 95% of the cases.

As an example for where this is handled differently I'd like to point to github's issues. (Random example issue)

As you can see, action is clearly different from comments and it is immediately obvious what action has been performed due to the icons.
In a place dedicated to discussions (such as discourse) comments and action should be visually distinguishable even for first-time visitors.

Not sure how this happened...

That "New Website" post was made 2 hours earlier... not December of 1969. Clicking thru shows the correct date and time for both the post and a single reply.

This post was made automatically by the WordPress plugin which may be a hint as to what happened.

MathJax Plugin (supports math notation using LaTeX)

Provides MathJax support to a discourse forum. This means that you can display mathematical notation using LaTeX markup (ASCIIMathML markup is also possible using the right settings).

You can find installation instructions at the github page. If you any problems installing this, send me a message. This plugin uses roughly the same settings for mathjax as used at http://math.stackexchange.com, and works therefore very similar.

Just want to let you guys know that i'm working on a sync between the gh and transiflex version of the german translation files as announced in another topic.

In case of dups i prefer the transiflex translation in comparison to gh.
I will publish the used script if someone needs them for other translations (handwork will be needed since i don't want to write a parser myself and using yaml parsers).

Making a tutorial to integrate Devise with Discourse (with user sync)

Roberto_Pezzali wrote:

Hello everyone. I notice that there are a lot of requests about the integration Discourse inside a rails app.

Devise is maybe the preferred authentication solution for a lot of projects, so I think that maybe a tutorial (or a sample project) to show the best way to integrate a standard Devise installation with Discourse could be very useful.

The objective is very simple:

1) Main app with Devise installed on www.example.com2) Discourse installed on forum.example.com
3) User registration on the main app
4) Trasparent login to Discourse
5) One way user sync
6) Discourse control panel fixes (hide the possibilità di change email and username)

I can help to create the tutorial and also the sample app on GitHub. There is something similar? Anyone has developed something that I can use as a starting point?
