I really don't like automated email. There are now a couple Discourse forums which have sent me digest emails that I've had to unsubscribe from. I'd really like to subscribe to them, but I can't handle the information overload.
Another way to have a manageable RSS feed is to only send me things which have reached a certain level. I have historically set up RSS feeds based upon API integrations, so I had an RSS feed for reddit posts which hit X (e.g., 500) points. Maybe I'll try doing that with Discourse at some point.
I had maximum backups set to 5 since Feb 2016, but today I found about 25 backups on my server, thanks to a notification email from Discourse about disk space.
I am writing a plugin for discourse to apply per topic permissions ( i know its hard to implement) and i am able to achieve this by using custom fields ( it stores all allowed userids against any topic) and then i am intercepting the default query and filtering allowed users there.
I want to know if there can be any implication of using this approach?
We're currently using the business-plan for discourse on our site and are approaching the 500k pageviews pretty fast (due to launching our preorders today).
Now, I wanted to know: What happens if we reach those 500k - the wording does not make it imminent if the site just goes down or is the site still running but with no guarantee it'll be stable for all those pageviews?
We are exploring some plugins for creating sitemaps, we were using vbseo in Vbulletin. We came across to following plugin(https://github.com/discoursehosting/discourse-sitemap). What are other community members are using for this purpose. Thanks
I understand that self-hosted Discourse instances do not get push notifications through the mobile app. However from reading through the meta topic about the app, it looks like notifications should still work using iOS's background fetch (albeit a bit delayed).
This doesn't seem to work for my forum, and I'm not sure how to go about figuring out what's wrong. Could it be because my forum is login-only? Is there any way to get logs from the app?
But I'd prefer storing library locally. Normally I'd use vendor.js to include it and have it loaded before the plugin code, but this approach needs hacking with the Discourse core.. So what is recommended way and where to add external js library to plugin? Is there some convention? Thx.
I have developed a plugin for categorizing post(have added that values in post custom fields). Now i would like to implement filter post by that categorize that are stored in custom post fields. If you can suggest me some guide or related plugin, it would be helpful.
Our group sells sponsorships and so I would like to be able to show my custom ads either (a) interspersed between topics, and/or (b) using sidebar. Can you advise how to do this? I am not using an ad network. Thank you!!
Calls /admin/users/USERNAME, which doesn't seem to exist. That's a bug, right? It looks like that route requires the user_id to be included before username.
I've got a client that I'm doing an import for. They're using SSO, which will supply avatars, but of course those get populated only when someone logs in. I noticed client.sync_sso and it appears to do just what I need. I think I'd like to do this from the API, but rails console would be fine too.
I thought that client.sync_sso would work, but it appears to push SSO data, not pull SSO data.
Is there some way that I can suck down the SSO data for each user? It doesn't look like the API will help, maybe something in the console? Looks like lookup_or_create_user might help, but I can't find the external_id.
Hi, when trying to install discourse on Ubuntu 16.04 or OpenSUSE 42.2 I get the following error: http://susepaste.org/898392 Can you tell me what is broken there and how I can fix it? Thank you, Paktosan
In SMF a category is just a container for boards, i.e. you can not post anything in a category, you can only post in a Board or a sub-board. SMF allows for unlimited sub-boards.
In Discourse you can create topics in categories and sub-categories (two levels). To dig more, you use tags.
