Sorry for bothering you with this. But I looked in every setting twice but I want to change the maximum number of images a new user can upload as described here.

But I can't find the newuser_max_images in the admin panel.

Hi! I have recently discovered this site and it looks amazing. Please let me know if this question is not placed in the proper place but I didn't know exactly where to ask.

My question is about the integration with Wordpress. If i own a domain and install wordpress, i know discourse can be used to comment on post, but, is it also possible to use it to comment on pages? I know also that when someone adds a topic, it will be added as a post as well, am I right?

I love the look of discourse, and it would be amazing if i could also use the WP functionalities. My aim is to create a travel forum, but i would like that the post or topics could also have sliders and galleries to make it more visually appealing. Is that possible at all?

Thanks very much and congrats for the job done!

Hi it seems like recent versions require you to have to sign up for the daily/weekly resume to be able to get direct notification on every new forum post. The resumé doesn't make much sense if you get emails for all forum activity.

Hi all! I hope this question isn't too noobish, but here I go.

From what I understand, the Discourse Docker image runs its own nginx instance. That's why I had to setup a reverse proxy in my front-facing nginx server. Furthermore, I fumbled with my config and broke my Discourse instance a little. I was trying to get an A+ on the Mozilla Observatory. That experience taught me the nginx that Discourse is running on has its own configuration and I shouldn't be setting X-XXS-Protection twice

So I went ahead and deleted most of my TLS options on my front-facing nginx. This is how it looks right now:

Output of /etc/nginx/sites-available/comunidade.sancalug.org:

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;
        server_name comunidade.sancalug.org www.comunidade.sancalug.org;

        }

	location ~ /.well-known {

	}
}

However, when I test my domain on the Mozilla Observatory, I get a message that the Content Security Policy header isn't set.

My question is: how can I configure the Discourse nginx server to implement that header?

I've done quite a bit of searching for this one and even considered a custom plugin for it. But for the life of me I can't nail down how to create a URL (outside of the search URL) that shows me the open topics for a tag.

What I'm trying to do is create a navigation item that links to open topics tagged active within a given category. These topics are for discussing and working on hardware changes. As we complete the work, we close the topics. Which means we want to filter out the closed topics.

I've tried the standard ?status=open parameter but those aren't working on tag pages and appear to have been broken for some time. So I guess I'm looking for an alternative.

Any guidance?

Hey,

From this guide I understand that if I want to separate the web and the data containers for each site!
So if I want 2 websites my container folder should look like:

On my Surface, I can't grow or shrink the composer area using touch -- it's interpreted as a scroll of the content below.

My guess is that this is because on the "desktop" version of Discourse, only mouse events are handled. Rather than also handle touch events, is it worthwhile moving Discourse to pointer events such that any current and future pointing devices will Just Work™? The jQuery team have a non-jQuery polyfill for pointer events.

On my Discourse install, running v1.7.0.beta7 +215, the following system message is being sent to the wrong user:

The user in question was the first user created when Discourse was installed. Later, I demoted this user to moderator and added a separate admin user (because I wanted to use a stronger password for admin functions).

The admin user does not receive this system message directly or through the admin inbox, but the first user, who used to be an admin and is now a moderator, does.

I have a couple of related questions please.

1.
If I go to a user's profile, i.e. at domain.com/admin/users/ID#/username, there is a line item under Activity titled, "Seen". What does that refer to?

Is that indicating that the user has seen the last emailed digest (or other email) or is that the last time the user was on the site viewing content, or something else?

2.
And for that matter, above that for Created - is that the last time the user created content?

3.
And is there documentation that states what each of the fields means that I could or should be looking at for answers?

Thanks,

I can press the Sign Up button, but none of the other buttons work. I'm not even sure where to begin trouble shooting this. Is there something simple I'm missing? This was happening on an iPhone, but others at the office were getting varying degrees of the same issue.

When you try to add a video from your computer by using the upload button, the video is embedded when upload is finished, but if you type any character, the embedded video disappear and is replace by a normal link. (I can't try on this topic as I'm a new user)

The bug appears to be on the function app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/utilities.js.es6 -> uploadLocation
In fact when window.location.port is not setted, the upload location would have a colon at the end.

To fix this problem I suggest this fix:
port = window.location.port ? ':' + window.location.port : '';

One of the last big things on the 1.7 release list is to improve the groups page. @tgxworld will be working on this in December, so I wanted to gather feedback and make sure we didn't miss anything.

Here's what I remember about it so far:

• general cleanup of the groups page design, not a radical redesign but make it more.. presentable.

• show the group avatar (that @neil already worked on) on the group page prominently, since that is how the group is identified by all users. If you are a group owner you should be able to select the group avatar from the group page, just like a user would select their avatar from their user page.

• add an "about me" field for groups so that they have parity with users, also, the about me can describe what the group is for, why it exists, how to join it, etc

• add a "full name" for groups for parity with users, plus a long name can contain Unicode and be more descriptive just like a user full name

• if the group allows it, let people self-join and self-exit the group as desired. This will also require some kind of logging so group moderators know when people enter/leave

• if the group allows it, let people apply for membership to the group, probably the easiest way to implement this is for 1.7 is a PM button that group PMs the group owners with a pre-filled title and body (we already support this).

We might also need some sort of basic groups directory page like /users but I'm not 100% sure that needs to be in this release per se.

Some other related topics:

• https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-new-button-to-top-of-custom-group-page/49915
• https://meta.discourse.org/t/avatar-flair-not-badges-for-groups/48576
• https://meta.discourse.org/t/sort-columns-on-group-members-page/50051
• https://meta.discourse.org/t/group-long-names-help-give-full-citizenship-to-groups-for-mentions-messaging-group-pages/49949

Probably the best way to think of this, is continuing to make groups first class citizens, as @sam started when he unified the group and username @ namespaces and added support for messaging groups, just like you'd message users.

As we know Discourse can get so many reports about itself. But I can never find a report about search, such how many search query we get per month, or which is the most search result, or which user use search the most etc.

Since discourse never store the search history in the db (if i am right) ,so we can not just use SQL to get what we need. Or there is another way to go? can anyone tell me

hope to make myself understood, many thanks

Hi, first time poster. Loving Discourse so far!

I'm writing a plugin that will do some auto-tagging suggesting based on the content of the title and post. I'm trying to access a few things at the JavaScript level - trying to get access to the client-side view of the current post that's being typed in. My goal is to make a new route and action (similar to draft.json that gets sent every few letters typed), and have that respond with suggested tags if the server algorithm triggers a response. This of course needs tagging turned on in the admin menu.

I'm trying to access the Tag Chooser - I can do so in JQuery via: $('input.tag-chooser')

But, if I try to add an existing tag programmatically, using:
$('input.tag-chooser').select2('data',{id:'tags', text:'tags'});
It then shows up on the UI, but not once I save it (guessing it didn't save to the model) because I didn't run this.set('tags', tags); -- because I don't have access to the this object. When I modify tag-chooser to get access, setting also doesn't seem to work as expected.

But, I'm trying to get access to the main JS object that is built in tag-chooser.js (in _initValue) so that I can add a tag to it.... or maybe to access the Ember object to add a tag that way. I see that it looks like the main Global variables are in the JS Discourse object... but I'm not sure how to do something like Discourse.get('Tags') or Discourse.set('Tags') or what.

Any suggestions on where to start? I'm going through Ember tutorials now, but it's a bit slow going.

So I assume things are not playing as nice as they should.

Can we get a stripped down version of the RSS feed?

I would like to attempt my first Discourse plugin and was hoping some nice folks could point me in the right direction. I've been reading through the Discourse codebase for a couple of days but trying to absorb it all is proving rather difficult.

I've also read the plugin how-to guides, but these are very basic and are more on how to actually load the plugin as opposed to doing much else.

What I want to do:

I would like to create a plugin that can show categories as images/buttons above the latest topic/category list. I would use the category logo as the image to show.

I'd also like to have a setting on each category that turns this on/off for each category, and another setting for optionally also hiding that category from the standard category list.

I have no problem modifying templates using a plugin, that is pretty straightforward. What I need to wrap my head around is where everything else lives. For example, what would be the best approach of adding two more settings to each category?

I've included this mockup to make it easier to see what I mean:

Screen-Shot-2016-11-25-at-15.46.17.png1267x1026 246 KB

This wouldn't be exclusive to top level categories either and I should be able to make child categories appear at the top too. I'm obviously planning on replacing those grey boxes with logos, this is just to keep things simple.

I'd also want this to show on categories and latest tab, but I don't suspect this makes it any more or less difficult.

I really would like to start getting up to speed with plugin development, so really only looking for advice on how to approach this. I'd rather not take any shortcuts with CSS hacks etc.

Thanks for reading!
