Hi everyone,

We are a parents' group with about 2,000 users. We used to be on BigTent with a thriving online discussion community, and recently moved to a new association management platform called YourMembership. Unfortunately their forums are a huge disaster right now, so I am researching alternatives for the discussion forums piece, while still using YourMembership for everything else (membership management, CRM, website content, events, etc.). So far I really like what I see about Discourse.

This is probably a basic (newbie) question, but here goes: How would I implement SSO? YourMembership have their own API that they've published, so does this mean that I can't use the Official Discourse SSO plugin, but would need to write a custom login plugin on the Discourse side to get this working?

Thank you!!

Some time ago the the sending of notification emails out of our Discourse installation stopped, at least it seems so.
Sending emails itself works, just tested with a test email, sending out invitations works too. But under Settings / Emails / Skipped the newest entries are from 10 days ago and in the list of sent emails the newest ones are quite old too. There are about 300 users on the site, so I would think there should some email to be sent, but isn't.
Could it be any wrong setting, but which? I looked around but didn't found any suspicious.
Any hints?
Thanks!

My client has discourse running and wants to help drive engagement.

The digests only seem to go to people who have not logged in, and my client wants it to go to everyone, irregardless if they have logged in or not.

Can this be done, and if so, how please?

Aside: Is there an app (Android, Apple) for discourse?

I've been able to add a new menu item to the admin dashboard, but for some reason it's not catching my translation.

Instead of the menu item with the right text, I see:

[nl.myplugin.admin.menu_title]

My translation file plugins/myplugin/config/locales/client.nl.yml looks like this:

nl:

    myplugin:
      dummy: "Hey dummy!"
      admin:

Anything I'm doing wrong?

Is there an admin I can contact that could kindly please remove this throttle?
I'm not a spammer.
Adding an hour between posts is really slowing down troubleshooting these issues, and I REALLY need to get docker up and running. This has been holding up my project for over over a week now.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Summary: Over at Stonehearth it was noticed by an Admin today that the count on the /tags page is incorrect for some tags.

Steps to reproduce:

Unknown.

Expected Results:

Number next to tags matches number of topics seen when viewing individual tag page.

Actual Results:

Number next to tags is greater than the number of topics seen when viewing individual tag page.

Notes:

The difference between the number of topics with a tag and the number displayed appears to be constant i.e. ui had the number 5 but had 3 topics, adding the ui tag to another topics caused the number to increase to 6.

This is known to be an issue with the following tags (this list may be incomplete): ui, ai, crashes,

Hi,

I'm in China and use Aliyun to host discourse. I've purchased a 20G system disk by default but after 2 years the disk is almost full now.

Since Aliyun doesn't support expanding system disk, I have to purchase another bigger data disk and migrate discourse to that disk and do some necessary reconfiguration.

Do you have a detailed step by step tutorial for doing that? And BTW, under my circumstance, do you have better suggestions?

Thanks,

Yinglu

Hi All, can someone tell me if the following 2 enhancements are possible , and how much it would cost for you to implement this on my site?

1) We just migrated to Discourse from Mylittleforum, somehow my community is unwilling to let go of the THREAD view , please see this link as an exmaple http://mylittleforum.net/forum/ , the beauty of Mylittleforum is that users can switch between THREAD view and BOARD/linear view at their discretion. Is it possible to create THREAD view as an option for users in Discourse so that they can switch back and forth between THREAD and the default Discourse view layout whenever they want?

2) I managed to create a mandatory checkbox for TERMS of USE confirmation via Settings/ Customize / User Fields so that all new users who who want to create a new account must click the checkbox to agree to terms of use before they can obtain an account.

This is working great, however, it only works for NEW users. My forum has imported existing users from another platform and these existing users can still continue to login and use the forum without agreeing to my site's Terms of Use.

Can someone create a code or some kind of plugin that will activate the next time an existing user logins to his account, and will prompt the user to agree to Terms of Use before they can proceed further to use the rest of the forum?

If this is possible, can you give me an estimate how much this would cost?

Thanks

In the past few days since we released the iOS and Android apps a few people have asked us for the prospects of white labeling the Discourse app.

Meaning, they want to have a special app called say "my awesome forum" in the app stores that only includes access to the single forum.

• The code for DiscourseMobile is open source and lives at: https://github.com/discourse/DiscourseMobile it is licensed under the very permissive MIT license

• Access to our "Push Notification" server is restricted to our customers. If you white-label you would need to setup Discourse to push notifications to a server of your choice using allowed user api push urls and implement a push notification receiver that re-publishes to Apple and Android play stores.

• We do not offer a white labeling service, we would consider it for enterprise customers as an added bundle, discuss with us privately.

• If you white label, your app must not be confused with the official Discourse app. Ideally avoid the word Discourse when white labeling.

We always welcome contributions to the Discourse app, if you have ideas and want to improve it and make it more white label friendly, let us know.

TL;DR: I'm having trouble understanding how avatars are accessed on S3.

I'm in the process of moving my Discourse over to AWS, where all the rest of my websites are. I'm a huge proponent of CloudFront, not just as a traditional CDN, but as a Varnish-like front-end with multiple origins. I like to route all of my traffic through CloudFront, where requests are then sent to S3 buckets or web servers based on a number of rules.

I'm doing this for the first time with Discourse, and S3 uploads are facilitating this. Unfortunately, I'm having a tough time understanding how avatars are accessed. They appear to be uploaded to the S3 bucket in the same manner as post uploads, but not in the user_avatar directory as they're referenced in the image path. With S3 uploads enabled, newly-uploaded avatars appear to be missing locally and remotely. Are avatar image paths actually URL rewrites to images under the uploads directory? Or am I missing something?

This is a feature I have wanted on every forum I have ever run, a way to mark a thread/topic to be viewable by members-only.

I know we can create a members-only category, but there are often cases when this isn't a good fit. We have a new section which is members only but where the bulk of topics would actually be good to have as public - it's just overall, they need to be private (and in some cases, need to be checked before are made public).

Having a mark as members-only thread feature would be awesome - there are lots and lots of use cases; feedback, member's personal threads, discussions about discussions elsewhere, etc. Anyone else agree?

Hello everyone,
I haven't found a good answer anywhere else, so sorry if this is a repeat.

I'm setting Discourse up for a client, and they have a use-case where they would not like users to be able to easily discover the number of registered users on the site. On the /about page, there is a Users/Active Users count - which I would like to disable or hide.

I thought I saw a reference that said I could edit the template for /about, but I wanted to double check there wasn't a configuration setting I was missing.

Thanks so much!

Hi All,
I first ran across this forum software via the Zmodo camera brand support site. I immediately fell in love. I've been a forum administrator for almost 10 years and have experience in IPB, vbulletin, phpbb, wordpress, etc.
I'm currently waiting for the TXT DNS records to take hold so I can finish the setup, so I may be asking these questions a little pre-mature.

Here are my questions.
1. Is there a repository of all the "supported" plugins?
2. Is there a way to create new topics directly from Twitter/Reddit/Facebook when things are posted?
3. Is there a way to allow anonymous posts only in an "anonymous" category?
4. Is there a way to have the default page be the "Top" instead of latest?
5. How are the "Top" topics chosen? ie. [(# of replies) + (# views) + (# likes)] or some algorithm like that? Is there a way to modify that algorithm?

Thanks

A month ago, I started offering a $99 install service, and Discourse is my primary source of income (if I don't count my partner).

I have just added a new service, for $250 I will install Discourse and Wordpress in a single droplet. By default it's in a 1GB ($10/month) droplet, but if you have much traffic, you will probably want to bump up to 2GB. (And to test out a feature of my shopping cart system, I've set a sale price of $200 until next Wednesday.)

For those interested in the technical details, I install Apache, MySQL, and PHP on the server, move Discourse to a different port, and configure Apache to reverse proxy to the Discourse container. You get both sites at their setup screens, ready for your customization. The WP Discourse and Mailgun plugins are pre-installed, but not configured. Also, I set up all of the DNS records using Digital Ocean's name servers, so all you need to do is configure your domain registrar to Digital Ocean's servers.

If you've already done the standard install yourself, for the same price, I'll add the Apache, MySQL, PHP, Wordpress configuration to your existing Droplet.

Though both of these services are one-time mostly automated installations with no support, I am also available to provide support for people new to Discourse, who need help getting started and don't have time or interest in figuring out technical details on their own.
